And people call ME sensitive!

Yeah, so over at the FanHouse there’s a post from Jes Golbez about the Red Wings’ little planecrash the other day.

I say “little”, because they went off the damn runway at like 5 MPH. That’s it. The pilots cut it a bit too close when making a turn, and one of the wheel assemblies went into the grass like The Stig in a wingless Koenigsegg CCX (though not nearly as fast and with fewer divots being thrown about).

Note that nobody else really talked about it. Why? Because it’s not like the plane went plummeting out of the sky or anything–that would be some serious business, and the only person on the planet who would point and laugh would be some embittered loser on USENET. Not even I would wish that on the Red Wings, and I loathe that team the way a Yankees fan loathes the Red Sox. What they did was the equivalent of Cory Stillman’s airbag deploying after he slid into a pole coming out the RBC lots one day after practice. It was something that was scary at the time, but when you look back on it you can giggle because nobody was seriously hurt or killed.

Jes, of course, poked fun at it in that “Oh man, bet you won’t do THAT again” sort of way. He got silly, as he is wont to do–and lo, there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth. The comments made me roar with even more laughter than the original story did, because so many people decided to get all up in “bleeding heart” mode. Veiled threats, misplaced rage, and general stupidity abound as everyone screams and hollers that Jes dared to make fun of something that wound up being not all that serious.

The plane didn’t blow up on the runway. It didn’t go down in flames. All that happened was that it went partially off the tarmac into the mud.

Lighten up, Francis. Laugh, roll your eyes, and move the hell on already.

Sheesh.

This is just too funny, to me.

Why do I pimp this show? Because I like it. It’s why I pimp Top Gear. It’s why I rap nonsensically about the ‘Canes all the time. I’m just happy to share something that I enjoy and that I care about with others. I don’t even need free kit to do it, either (though if Versus could please do something about the camera work on their games–hiring crews from the Ceeb or something–I would be very happy).

In a word? Ouch.

7-1?  Ouch.

Man, that was painful to watch from Bret of the Gimpy Hip getting clocked in the grill by a puck to Hands of Feet getting beaten to a bloody pulp at the end. And may I just say that as much as I adore and respect our coach, starting Grahame against them was NOT a wise idea. These guys have practiced with him for two seasons, they have the A-to-Z book on him. I knew it was going to be harsh, but I didn’t think they’d get a touchdown on us…well, at least until that second goal, which was scored when Crackers decided he wanted to step out and grab a Mojito.

And I don’t know what the hell Frankie Kaberle’s issue is, but I hope Nicky Wallin recovers quick so he can replace the poor slob on the blueline. The aliens have taken Cup Run Kaberle and replaced him with Atlanta Kaberle, and that is not good.

Oh yeah, and my comments earlier about Mike from 328 at the HHOF Fan Weekend?  Consider them retracted.
