Why I DO NOT Rap

Holla, Holla,
27 percent here,
With a Labatt's near...
One, one, word and flow…

Inspirational, congregational,
I like to think I’m not confrontational,
Hockey sensational, not relational,
However, I always be motivational.

Grew up in the northeast,
But kept the hair off the grease,
Unlike the Gotti boys,
Who got all the toys,
Thanks to the life of a mobster,
They are lucky enough to eat all the lobster,
They want,
nonchalant

Cause I Holla, holla, H to the olla!
Keepin it real like a full time baller!
Cause I holla, holla, H to the olla!
Keepin it real cause I make big dollars!

Making sales of consumer goods merchandise,
Puffed rice? No that device, offered at a sweet price.
Who wants this box right here, Dontrell?
Ding dong, ring the bell, I made another hard sell,
And I tell you what, I’ll even throw in a free Duracell!

Cause I Holla, holla, H to the olla!
Keepin it real like Kennedy on the half dollar!
Cause I holla, holla, H to the olla!
Keepin it real cause I no Ivy League scholar!

Yeah…what, you heard what? Yeah… keep it real. Mother Fucking real!

It's a Whole New Game

Yes, the new marketing slogan (marketing will be key) for the NHL will be, "It's a Whole New Game!" I could've guessed that, but it is much better than "The Coolest Game on Earth" since, well, it wasn't. To me and the Canadian sitting next to me it was, but not to Joe Schmo. However, "It's a Whole New Game" is a truthful slogan, and I like it.

The days cannot go by fast enough as I wait for the deal to be announced. Will it happen this week? Next week? Who knows, but it will happen very shortly. Former Atlanta (Thrashers, Hawks and Braves - the only man to be Pres of three clubs at the same time) President said that, "The deal is virtually done and it's not going to be just revolutionary for the NHL, it will be a new chapter in collective bargaining agreements for all sports because it will most closely tie together the fortunes of the owners and the players." So close I can feel the ice chips in my face. So close.

So, with that almost done, I am very curious to see the new NHL logo. What can it be? I wonder if it will have a red line represented on it, just for old time sakes. As a matter of fact, I bet the new logo is holding the deal up. Imagine that.

Until the new slogan, new logo, new league and hundreds of free agents... Christmas in July is coming... at least for me.
