LOL, that is funny. The Onion is great. They did a great job at poking of ESPN on that one.

That was quite possible the biggest waste of 1:42 in my life....but hey different strokes for different folks!!!

i don't find that funny at all. i get the joke, i understand why it's supposed to be funny. but as a hockey fan, we take enough heat from people that think hockey is stupid... that broadcast wasn't much different than a real life sportscenter show, so I don't find it funny at all. screw those guys.

Gotta say not funny at all, not because it was dogging the NHL, but because of the way they tried to dog it.

Old jokes that have been around too long, saying things like How do you think he will handle playing in front of a crowd.

He finally made it to playing sports on a professional level.

Seriously be creative, something new would have been nice, I would have rather watch Engbum and Keith Jones talk for 30 minutes than watch that clip!

I did chuckle at the end lil blurb about Police hope to be able to pull out of Detroit by 2010...that did make me laugh a bit

But speaking of hockey players who are good at Football....we were blessed to watch Big Rig, Jonathan Ericsson kicking field goals of 50 yards here in GR...It was damned impressive, even more so with the fact that it was an arena football field so the Goal Posts are smaller and a tougher target
