You know for a slow time of the year I sure am busy in the sports world.
What I like to call 'Official' Opening day is finally here. Only 162 games left until MLB playoffs begin. Good luck fellas and Play Ball!!!!!
ON TO MY HOCKEY ISSUES...
So did anyone go to the Ice Dogs game this weekend.... I know you did because I saw a ton of you there. Here's what was.... what's the word .... um CRAZY. Auctioning off the players jerseys, (that's not the crazy part) the money goes back into the ice dog organization which is great. Here's the crazy part. Bids started at $300...not so bad. I was flaborgasted when Lennartsons went for over $700 (not that he's not worth it... I was just surprised people would drop that amount of money on something like that.) So they go threw most of the players and last but not least is Codey Reichard. What a show he put on. Takes off the jersey-glove-pads everything from the waist up... provided a little show for the ladies in the form of push-ups and doing the splits....FIFTEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS LATER ... his jersey is SOLD!
So what kind of jobs do you guys have that you can drop almost 1600 on a goalies sweater? CRAZY.... but definitley to a great cause. Dogs raised almost 10 grand in the jersey auction. I talked with Codey after the game and asked him about it.... stay tuned this week I'll have it in my sports show.
THIS NEXT HOCKEY BLURB IS FOR MY FRIEND TOWELY
I love hockey, especially in person. It's fast, it's action packed, and loads of fun. I also like to enjoy a few refreshments while at sporting events. One of my favorites .... the pretzel. Almost every ice dog game (like clockwork) I buy my 3 dollar pretzel with cheese. The cheese is pretty good .... usually the spicy kind...but why oh why is there no salt on my pretzel. Salt doesn't have to be on every pretzel I just want the option. If I had salt I would have no cheese ... add a little mustard and I am in heaven with a giant Coke. And then you could have cheese be an option as well. What's happened to this world when you can't even find salt on your pretzel. Come on Big Dipper Concessions... can't a girl just enjoy her pretzel with salt and mustard. Mr Towely can vouch for me when I say it's a small thing but something that's eating at my core ... (not really!)
So here's my question for the week.... your favorite sports arena food/beverage...what is it?
