St Louis Blues to Pay Your Mortgage

The St Louis Blues have followed in the foot steps of other great marketers like Jackie Moon to come up with their most recent promotion.

At every remaining Saturday home game this season, one lucky fan will have their mortgage or rent paid for four months! A fan will be randomly selected during the game, and all you have to do is be at Scottrade Center when your seat is called. Hold on to your ticket stub and watch for an announcement that you've won.

Let's hope this promotion works and more people attend games so that we can see what the Blues marketing people will think of next.

They Call him Mellow Yellow...

Here's my favorite video of the week so far, which shows the Botafogo defender objecting to receiving a yellow card in the Copa Sudamericana soccer match against Argentina's Estudiantes in Rio de Janeiro.

Chaos in The Windy City

Michael Jordan's name is synonymous with success we use the expression "he's the Michael Jordan of" whatever that person does to signify they have made it to the ultimate level that they are the best at what they do. Well I came across this little beauty called Chaos in the Windy City turns out when it came to Video Games not even Michael Jordan was the Micheal Jordan of video games based on a athlete. Myself I never had Super Nintendo but preferred Sega Genesis or would have no doubt had the title myself. Which sits atop many lists of worst games of "all time" turns out MJ still got the number one spot,

Apparently the story line for this goes like this your his Airness late for a charity basketball game when someone steals all your team mates you embark on a journey to get them back armed with only your athletic ability oh and some weapons grade basketballs.

Mats Sundin to Ikea?

The one decision Mats was able to make this off season was to take his new bride Josephine Johansson out to do some shopping, swedish style. The problem a rose when they reached Ikea, Mats just couldn't decide, there were alot of great choices, I mean even if he could decide on a bed? Where would he put it? The salesrep was sure it was down to two choices:

The first is a bed called the Hemnes which would be a perfect fit for the East Coast, classic style and cozy, that gives you that real close to home feeling
While The second one, Floro has a definite West Coast feel, looks like it could be made out of Bamboo, is lower to the ground perfect for cool, moderate climates.But just when we thought it was down to two a friend of his arrived one J.P. Barry who seemed to have some role in picking the furniture had this to say "I mean, if he has narrowed it down to two, that would be big news. At this stage, I would practically put out a press release if he's narrowed it down to two"

The salesrep apparently a fan of Mats said "If you can't make a decision? How did you become a captain of an NHL team?" Mats replied easy,"It wasn't my decison"

Fellow Swede, Peter Forsberg , had this two say "Personally I like to wait until two thirds of the shopping season is over then there are a lot less options open and then do my picking"

He added "My ankle just can't stand the long grind of a whole season anymore, so Mats relax just get in before the Sale when what you do really starts to matter"

Mats respectfully disagreed with Peter "my opinion has always been that you want to be there from the start of the season to be part of the group."

In the end Mats was not able to decide, as you can see in the top picture the furniture decision has got Mats pretty perplexed, upon leaving the store he just kept looking over and over at the catalouge at the various choices, saying "maybe I won't make a decision until later in the season" confusing everyone considering his part of the group comments.

Mats left us with this "I just hope people can respect that it's my right to make a decision, and I think I've earned that right.

Were not arguing but when the summer catalogue was sent to your house 5 months ago and we knew you were looking hard through it all your options we just thought well you might make a decison before the Fall.

Roy Williams wins Best Costume...

Roy Williams is doing his best to become your favorite Cowboys reciever, the former Detroit Lion attended a Halloween function in Detroit dressed as former teamate Tatum "Bell Hop" Bell.

Tatum Bell made headlines earlier in the year, by stealing some cash and underwear from new at the time Detroit Lions running back Rudi Johnson.

He had the opportunity while Rudi was checking into a hotel the team was staying at while newly released Tatum was checking out, the Hotel staff was nice enough to show the video footage to Rudi, who decided not to involve authorities but settle the matter himself.

Karma of course caught up to Bell, as stealing from a team mate is career suicide for a player that has access to pro teams locker room at all times.

Currently he is rumoured to be selling sell phones, bet you a pair of new Hanes that he'd unlock that iPhone I just bought on EBay.

Shot to the Heart

It may not be the heart, but wow this would slow you down...

Manny Legacy injured by Sarah Palin?

Manny Legace trips over the ceremonial carpet, the St Louis Blues put out so that Republican Vice president candidate could drop the opening puck. The self described hockey mom managed to find her footing easily on the rug but the NHL goalie struggled, so far no word on how long Manny might be shelved for; the official injury report has Manny as day to day with a bruised ego.

One theory that has no merit, is that Manny lost his footing while trying to contrive a Sarah Palin "does the carpet match the blinds style joke" before tripping over the rug he was pondering...

It has been reported that Coach Mike D'Antoni will be featured on the Late Show With David Letterman.

9. One of the following players will not finish the season a Knick, Stephon Marbury, Eddy Curry, or Zach Randolph

7. We Will win the Lottery or at least another Lottery Pick.

6. Chris Duhon will be the starting point guard as he is the least overpaid player on the Knicks roster but is still overpaid.

5. Coach D'antoni will not reminsce about the Chicago offer he turned down, and their young core and overall #1 Derrick Rose as it's just to painfull.

4. Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph will finish the season with at least an assist each a feat they have failed to reach to this point in their careers.

3. The Knicks will be forced to buy out at least one player as there is quite simply no market for that players abilities or contract.

2. Any trades based on a players potential, or trades based on aquiring a player coming of a suspect career year or with numbers inflated by being on a team as bad or near as bad as the Knicks will undergo a strict, Isiah Thomas policy comparison test and not be ok'd by upper managment.

1. the Knicks promise to win more games than they did last season but still miss the playoffs, and their coach Mike D'antoni promises to be no more than 1/4 crazy as the Knicks previous coach Isiah Thomas.

Athletes get down for Guitar Hero

It's rare for me to get excited about a commerical but this one is pretty funny Brett Ratner of comic book fame directs as Kobe Bryant, Micheal Phelps, Alex Rodriguez and Tony Hawk fill out the cast.

The ad is inspired by Tom Cruise in risky business and has the athletes playing Guitar Hero in there underwear.

Setting a New Standard for Taunting

The taunts were directed at Jan Huokko, a stocky defenceman with the Leksand hockey club in Sweden’s second-tier professional hockey league, and a former player with AIK.

Apparently he was the the subject of a highly publicized sex scandal, when a video he recorded of him an his girlfriend made the rounds umm so to speak, on the internet.

His team knew of the plan to taunt Huokko but decided not to do anything? as who doesn't want to see a defenseman get pelted with dildo's mid game.

My favorite part of this story is the fact: Lars G. Karlsson, an official from Sweden’s ice hockey association, called the sex-toy storm “a non-issue”.“It didn’t affect play at all. People barely noticed it,”

People barely noticed a hundred dildo's being thrown on the ice? or a Giant inflatable penis in the stands? how drunk are Swedish fans? honestly...

Here is the original article:http://www.thelocal.se/15138.html
Supporters of the Stockholm-based AIK ice hockey team scored an unusual hat trick of heckling on Tuesday night featuring dildos, profane banners, and a giant inflatable penis.

The taunts were directed at Jan Huokko, a stocky defenceman with the Leksand hockey club in Sweden’s second-tier professional hockey league, and a former player with AIK.

Ahead of Tuesday’s match against Leksand, the website for AIK’s unofficial supporter group had instructed fans to bring dildos to the match to remind Huokko of the sex scandal which plagued him earlier in the year, according to the Expressen newspaper.

As one of Leksand’s top-scoring defencemen and a former member of Sweden's national team, Huokko is known for putting the biscuit in the basket.

But back in June, Huokko’s reputation for “scoring” took on a different twist when a sexually-charged video clip featuring the 34-year-old blueliner and his girlfriend ended up on the internet.

Huokko had recorded the clip on his mobile phone, and wasn’t surprised to find it spreading like wildfire on the internet after the phone was stolen.

“It was a private thing between me and my girl,” he said at the time.“That’s what people do when it comes to sex.”

Before Tuesday’s match even started, AIK fans had already littered the ice with dozens of dildos, causing a slight delay as crews worked to clear the sex toys from the playing surface.
AIK fans also unfurled a banner reading “Bend over bitch!”, which was accompanied by a giant inflatable penis.

Vulgar chants directed at Huokko continued throughout the match, which
Leksand ended up losing 3-2.

AIK club management was aware of their fans’ plans for knocking Huokko off his game, but elected not to intervene.

“We’d also heard mention of it, but we decided that it would only be worse if we went out and told the fans they were absolutely not allowed to throw dildos on the ice,” said AIK club head Mats Hedenström to the newspaper.

Lars G. Karlsson, an official from Sweden’s ice hockey association, called the sex-toy storm “a non-issue”.“It didn’t affect play at all. People barely noticed it,” he said.

And despite the AIK supporters’ best efforts, Huokko took the mocking in stride.“For me it was just a regular hockey game. It was no problem,” he said following the match.“I’ve got nothing to be ashamed of.”
