Fire Ryan Poles | Fire Ben Johnson

It’s a sign. An earthquake starts two miles away from Fire Jerry Angelo headquarters in Dekalb. The man upstairs does not want me to write any more articles. The outsiders were right. This site is not only the worse site on the internet but it also has the worst writer EVER. Or maybe our friends the Mayans or even Nostradumbass predicted this earthquake and The History Fictional Channel will produce another documentary on how this is a sign of bad things to come.

Anyway…

For about the fifth time this year, the Blackhawks, Bulls and Illini all played on the same day and nearly at the same time. As usual on these days, I find myself flipping between all three games. It’s not too bad because if one team is getting their ass kicked, I always have a second or third game to watch.

1. Good game by the Blackhawks to pull it out and finally beat the Stars this season. But the defense has been a bit shitty lately and it lead to two of the three goals given up by Antti Niemi. Although I am not in favor of the Olympic break, this could give some of these players a bit of a rest. For those obsessed with stats (Cue Irish Yeti), Antti Niemi is leading the NHL in goals against average.

2. This Chicago Bulls team is hard to figure out. They can play so well against some of the best teams in the NBA then take a crap against the bad teams like the Pacers. Last night was another one of those nights. If it wasn’t for Indiana basically missing every shot in the 4th quarter, the Bulls don’t win that game. The fact that they only won by eight points shows that they should stop playing to their opponents level of competition. If they can do that, they are capable of beating any team on any given night.

3. My beloved Fighting Illini pulled yet another win out of their asses against the Badgers. They barely beat Michigan State despite the Spartans not having their best player in the game so I didn’t get too excited. Now all of a sudden, they are tied for first place in the Big Ten. I always thought Bruce Weber was a good coach and he gets the most of the players he has. This job he is doing is shocking to many including myself. Next year when the new class comes in is rated the #7 recruiting class in the nation according to ESPN. Things are finally looking up for Illinois.

Discuss.

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the Bears have hired Mike Martz to be their offensive coordinator.

Just another guy who sucks at play calling and that is friends with Lovie.

Sigh.

The Blackhawks will be arriving  in Raleigh late Friday afternoon following their great overtime victory against the Sharks. They have a game on Saturday with the Hurricanes. If you are free, could you take Patrick Kane and his friends anywhere in your fine city that they desire. It seems that Kane gets himself in a little trouble when he takes either a cab or limo.

Fire away.

For some of you wrestling fans out there, you should check out Falls Count Anywhere. It’s a new site by a wrestling fan living in the Chicagoland area as well. Some good stuff so far.

How easy is it to blow a four goal lead with about 15 minutes to go in a hockey game? Unless you are Blackhawks goalie Cristobal Huet, you can’t.

I spent my Saturday night flip flopping between three games at once (Blackhawks, Bulls and Illini). The Blackhawks took a 5-1 lead into the 3rd period and all seemed well. Then, Cristobal Huet realized that he was Cristobal Huet and shit all over the lead and the game as the Wild won in a shootout 6-5.

In a span of a minute and a half, he gave up three goals. THREE. Good thing the Illini were winning the game in the final minute so I didn’t have to see it except for the highlights. But how fucking pathetic. When I tuned in with about 12 or 13 minutes to go, it puzzled me morethat Quennville refused to put Niemi in to try to put out the fire. I understand that he had to start the next night but still. Huet out there pretty much meant that they were going to lose that game. Everytime he takes the net, a real fan should have zero confidence in him. For the exception of one or two games last  year, he sucked complete horse cock. This year, he played well for a span of about a month to month and a half. Saturday night, he returned to being garbage. It was good while it lasted.

Despite Antti Niemi’s shitty game last night, he still should be the starting goalie. If Huet is starting come playoff time, the chances for a dissapointment are higher than with Niemi.

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Ron Turner has been fired.

One stooge down. Two more to go.

Tonight is the night. WWE vs. TNA in a possible Monday Night rating wars…

All I have to say is: Don’t expect big things to happen.

With Monday Night Raw, our beloved Bret Hart is making a return. It will be his first appearance in a WWE ring since the Survivor Series Pay-Per-View in 1997 (We all know what happened there). Rumor  has it that he is trying to make a comeback into the ring. WWE has enough embarrassment with how things are being ran. The guest hosts is a joke. Sheamus, a guy who does not have any character or wrestling ability is the WWE Champion. On the show Smackdown!, Drew McIntyre is the same. Both guys are Triple H’s friends and that is why they are becoming top stars. It is pathetic and it is dissapointing to the other young guys who deserve to be pushed. For the last decade, it has been the Triple H way or the hard way. If you aren’t friends with him, you won’t go anywhere. By himself, he has kept future stars away from being superstars just for the fact that they weren’t “his guys”. He has been a main event hog and when he wasn’t, he bitched about it. If he wasn’t married to Vince’s daughter, I wouldn’t be bitching as much but that isn’t the case.

Bret Hart trying to wrestle again would be an utter embarrassment to the WWE.  For those who don’t know, Bret Hart had a stroke about five or six years ago and he is well into his 50’s. I am glad he is back on TV but I would  hate to see him try to wrestle.

With TNA, Hulk Hogan is attempting to make a comeback. Once again. This is a joke. What makes this more embarrasing is that TNA is also bringing along Ric Flair, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Sean Waltman (X-Pac). So basically, the 3rd floor of the nursing home is going to TNA. Enough already with this crap. Where are all the young stars at? TNA lacks young stars and will continue to until the garbage is picked up and thrown out. I am glad Hogan will be there but I am praying he isn’t wrestling. Where’s TNA trying to sign Ken Kennedy or Jeff Hardy? Both are rumored to be there but nothing is for sure yet. This isn’t like mid 90’s where Hogan still had a few years left in him to make it big. TNA is basically throwing their garbage against WWE’s pile of suck.

So anyway, I will record both shows and attempt to watch both fully (If I have enough patience). But I am prepared to expect the same old garbage.
