Fun fact

The weather for the Winter Classic is almost identical to World Series weather!

I think it might be something else

Nice little "Winter Classic" event that the NHL put on yesterday in Fenway Park.

I especially liked Dan Carcillo of the Flyers saying before the game that he was going to get into a fight and then after the fight he said that he really didn't want to but the other guy started it. He also said that the fight reminded him of "playing" on the frozen ponds when he was a kid. Sounds like my neighborhood way back when. It beats carrying a gun, you know.

Anyway, for some reason, NBC allowed always-annoying* Curt Schilling on the broadcast. In a way, I guess I do not blame them as he was probably hounding them for months and maybe even threatened a lawsuit. Schilling did play for both Boston and Philadelphia during his career and had this to say about the difference between the two cities:

"I think the difference is that maybe in Boston, you have to drive around and listen to fans berate you for a week. In Philadelphia, the fans might throw something at you. It's maybe a little more physical in Philadelphia."

Or maybe it's just you, Curt.

Sorry.**
