Big Frigging Kid Wants To Be A Wing

I’ve got line combinations running through my head, but I can’t make sense of them yet.  I have a post about Darren McCarty, and if he’d actually bring value to the Wings this season, bouncing around up there too.

I know Aaron Downey was offered a two-way deal for 565K...if he sticks in Detroit.  About 1/6th of that if he goes down to GR.  But that story bores me.

So here’s something.  The biggest baby in the history of Weld County started Kindergarten this week.

Why is that interesting?  Well.  His mommy’s pretty smart.

Tori said she hopes her little tike grows up to be a hockey player for the Detroit Red Wings.

And why is that interesting?

Because Weld County isn’t in Michigan. 

It’s in Colorado.

Giddy up.

Talk about teeing it up…

THIS is the biggest baby in Weld County!

Obviously his overly large head squeezing out during natural child birth damaged the poor little guy’s brain.  Hopefully he’ll recover and come to his senses.

My bad.  The story doesn’t say the little guy wants to be a Wing.  His mom is from Michigan, and she wants him to be a Wing.  Wow, quite a news flash there, chef.  Anything more meaningless to post?

Posted by rwhater on 08/21/08 at 12:00 PM ET

You want meaningless?  Colorado has a professional hockey team. Hope that satisfies your craving for the day.

and Michigan has a hell-hole of a city called Detroit.  Wow.  This thread is now the epitome of meaningless.

Terry Frei is now writing letters to the school district to get the kid kicked out for not being a Dive fan.

Oh yeah, pick on Detroit.  The last refuge of a scoundrel.

And Osrt, you got it wrong.  The Dive isn’t professional, it’s “professional.” Don’t forget those quotes.

and Michigan has a hell-hole of a city that keeps winning championships while my own drag queen team tricks on the corner hoping for a playoff spot.

fixed.

Creative retort by the way. And here I thought that the government’s neglect of Detroit schools and basic infrastructure was criminal.

Posted by Osrt on 08/21/08 at 01:08 PM ET

I agree.  Detroit is not a good city to live in.

It is top 5 in fattest people, top 5 in poor air quality and top 5 in violent crimes/rape.

Yeah, i would say not some place to raise the ole kids.  I guess at that point it doesnt really matter how good the teams are.  I would rather watch them from traverse city

No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature.  Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.

Wanna Feel Smart?

Does confusion make you sad? When you read words like "enigma" and phrases like "Thanks Gary. Ass", do you wonder why mean people speak in languages you don't understand? Fret no longer friend! The A2Y Glossary will bring you great joy and enlightenment.

How Others View The A2Y 19

"Hell, I guarantee the content co-opters at Abel to Yzerman were about to link this article under the heading “Bitter Blues Fans” again right up until they just read that last half-sentance. Thanks but no thanks, you Kukla hangers-on."
--St. Louis Game Time

"I realize it’s the slow summer season, but can this guy tone down the tough-guy histrionics? His posts are fatiguing on an otherwise excellent site."
--A2Y Fan, Eternal_Fields

"I constantly marvel at how Bill (IwoCPO) and his disciples at Abel To Yzerman can be so pompous and full of themselves throughout every regular season, but come playoff time they collapse into wavering puddles of stress and nervousness as they anxiously await the impending and unavoidable collapse of the Red Wings in the post-season."
--Mile High Hockey

"I hate them because they are better than us. Of all the frigging teams…"
--In The Cheap Seats

"It's just a shame that the most classless, uneducated, lowbrow fanbase in the league gets this sweep. Red Wing fans don't deserve their team."
--Thhom

"I really don’t care what fans or bloggers think."
--Drew Sharp

"Why is it you Detroit fans are still so classless when you have such a classy hockey team, with such a professional GM and gentlemen players? I understand that the author of this blog is a manner-less cad, but the rest of you should be better."
--A2Y Fan, Jeff Beaumont

"Have you ever *read* A2Y? Its the most opinionated, juvenile stuff i've read."
--Paul Nicholson

"I actually like the Detroit team and have a sh&% load of respect for them, but their fans are the biggest douches next to Canadians."
