Your Best Efforts Aren’t Worth a Damn

Let’s face it. It’s a Saturday in the middle of July, and nothing is going on. Most of the big free agents have been signed already, and arbitration hearings don’t start for a few weeks. Right now, the hockey world is a deep, dark abyss, and we haven’t fallen far enough yet to see the light on the other side.

To pass the time, let’s take a look at the people who, much like myself, mailed it in this week.

Me – I’ll start with the obvious. This is the fifth post of the week, and that just ain’t cuttin it.

The Carolina Hurricanes – Their biggest addition so far this off-season? Michael Leighton. Thanks for the effort, team.

SI Fan Nation – Next time, make sure the “news” you’re posting isn’t, you know, five weeks old.

Bambi – As the good folks at Kissing Suzy Kolber show us, this deer mailed it in when it came to the game of life. I think the eagle even power bombed the deer! SWEET!

NASA – Two words; spell check.

Paratroopers – Next time, don’t land in the prison. I hear some of the guys in D block have a think for army boys.

Australia – How do you stop a tank rampage? Is it even possible? Next time, lock up your tank. _uacct = “UA-1868762-1”; urchinTracker();
