The question, however, is “whose head do I bounce it off of?”

Do I bounce it off the head of Jack Johnson, for his ill-considered, ill-timed, and just plain stupid (not to mention cheap) elbow to the head of Steve Downie last night?

Or do I chain-bounce it off the heads of the Canadian fans that are crying that JJ’s elbow was “so very American”?

Decisions, decisions.

Look, people–all y’all are being stupid about this. The elbow was stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. It should have netted Johnson a suspension. The coaches at UMich should take the boy aside when he gets back there and have a looooong chat with him about how he has to keep that temper of his in check.

You can’t excuse it if you’re a Team USA fan, you shouldn’t have done it if you’re Jack Johnson, and you can’t throw stones if you’re a Team Canada fan given a certain controversial choice that the national team made for Turin.

So all y’all, just shut the hell up about it. Oh yeah, and Happy New Year.
