Surprise, surprise, surprise! That's exactly what came to my mind this morning when I did my usual trolling for sports information. I consider myself pretty well schooled on everything that's going in the world of sports. But sometimes, even I get sideswiped. And I'll bet there are some things on "The List" this week that you didn't realize, either. For instance, did you know .. the NHL is still in operation? - You know, the guys that have the beefed up figure skates and knock that large piece of flat charcoal around an enclosed frozen pond? Yeah, them. I thought it was great. I mean, ever since Wayne Gretzky retired, who cares? Kinda like Michael Jordan. Except not bald. And not as ummm, tan.
