My Pick for the Stanly Cup and the latest member of the Entourage...

Yes that is correct, it is time to pick who I think will win the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I was 50% last round. Not great by my standards. In fact I have not been that great at all this year. I was 50% in every round. Not good at all. I need to get back to work on my statistical ANALysis of the NHL and how much I know. No, really I just need to stop picking who I want to win and start picking who WILL win. I picked too much with my heart this year.



Anyway, for the finals I will let you know that I am again going to pick with my heart. In fact as I sit here I am listening to one of my Favorite bands of all time, Nobody's Children, and they are inspiring me to pick not with who probably has the momentum, but to pick with the team that I think deserves it and needs it more.

Anyway, on a related note, the Children are getting back together for a gig in Minot next summer and I am stoked. I can't wait to see if Todd Holdman can still kill the bass, if Micah Scott can still shred, oh and if Adam G can still pound the skins. Check this link to find out more. Oh and here is the music video I did for them back in the day...

Okay back to the task at hand. I cannot wait for Lord Stanley's cup to be handed out and Gary Bettmann gets booed at centre ice. I love that...

STANLEY CUP FINAL

Chicago Blackhawks (2) vs Philadelphia Flyers (6)

I know that Donnie Granato said that the Hawks just did not have the depth in goalie to take it all, and I have been picking against that all the way to where we are now. So I have put in a call to Don to see if he would revise his stance or if he is now on the Hawks and picking them to win. Please wait here while I give him a call.

I just got off the phone with Don and he told me that the two things he was worried about for the Hawks in the post season was Goaltending and the playoff grit. They have answered the bell on both accounts. He said that grit is where the Hawks have had the edge in all series so far but in this round it is gonna be the key because both teams have some much grit right now the ice will be leveled on this count.

He also says that the match up between Byfuglien and Pronger is gonna be the key in this series because if Dustin can get to Pronger it will go towards the Hawks. If Pronger can keep up with the kid the Flyers will be okay but if Dustin can get Chris into the red zone advantage Hawks. He says that Niemi has answered the bell as far as his goaltending goes so he does not even question that. Donnie also said that the city of Chicago is buzzing and he will be at the games this weekend and can't wait to see how this will turn out. He thinks this is a series that is gonna be great because of the grit involved. I agree.

My observation is that Niemi looked a bit rough in the first rounds but he has looked awesome of late and the goal scorers on the Hawks have picked their game up. Guys like Kane, Seabrook, and Sharp were a bit slow coming out of the gate but have gotten better as the playoffs have gone along. J Toews is a beast. Leading the playoffs in scoring and leading his team to the promised land. Might I add he is a former UND Fighting Sioux. Oh and as far as I am concerned they will always be the Fighting Sioux in my book. They can try to change the name but it will never change in the minds of the fans. Byfuglien is a guy who plays the way I would play, well, if I could actually skate worth a damn. He hits everything that moves, scores, and looks like he is having fun while doing it.

As for Philly, as I said earlier, they are team with huge grit. The Hawks could get under the skin of the Sedin sisters and Joe Thornton easy. Those guys need to add grit to their game. The Flyers have Richards, Briere, and my boy Ian Laperriere. As for their goaltending, again as I said in the last round, I keep waiting for him to crash to earth, but he hasn't. Donnie thinks he won't. He also said that the Hawks had Leighton in their system for a while and when he was in the AHL he owned it and knew that it would be that way when he got the chance in the NHL. This is gonna be a great series.

My prediction is that Dustin is gonna make Pronger very angry and Pronger will take a bad penalty that will cost him a game and the Flyers the series. I am taking the Blackhawks in 6. Read it and weep. One bonus to the Hawks winning the cup is a former Gambler will finally get his name on the cup. Adam Burish used to play for the finest team in the USHL the Green Bay Gamblers. Get on it.


There you have it. Call your bookies.



NEXT:


Our next member of the TundraTalk Entourage is none other than the man himself, Cory Blashill. Cory has been in the NHL trenches now for the past few months slogging from airport to airport bringing you all your inside look at what the players are thinking from game to game for Rogers Sportsnet. Thank you Cory for bringing this service to us every year. Oh, also did I mention he also does a helluva lot of drinking as well? Well he does. He is a pro at both of his spring endeavors, drinking and following the Stanley Cup to its final resting place for the year.

As far as I am concerned this guy could have his own Entourage if he wanted to, but he doesn't and that is why he made mine. Cory is also the first Canadian picked to be in this illustrious Entourage. He is a fixer as you would say in the biz. You have a problem, he fixes it. Whether it be you need a bottle for some mixer or you need the hookup to get tickets to the game. Cory knows everyone and everyone knows Cory. Cory is extremely loyal and is one of those guys you want on your side when the going gets tough. I am extremely proud to have him in my posse.

Cory is also a bit of a rebel. A guy who is not afraid to call it like he sees it. I cannot tell you how many times he has called me a jackass. Wait, everyone calls me a jackass. Cory calls me a Jagoff. Cory is also the guy who took the picture of the Ugly Jacket. He took huge heat for that moment in TundraTalk history. Huge heat. He was kicked off the Oilers team charter. His boss was called, as was mine, and he stood tall thru it all. He will not be intimidated. Not at all.

Cory is also the guy who did the great video for me when I got my citizenship to Canada. That was an awesome thing to do. I was really proud that day to have him in attendance at that ceremony. He took time out of his schedule to put that together for me. Killer Job. Here is a link to the video of you want to watch it.

Cory took some time last week out of his busy schedule covering the Stanley Cup to share his feelings on being selected to this posse. I guess you could say he won his own Stanley Cup by being selected to this posse...

As I received at my hotel my letter of acceptance I had to sit down and take a big breath. You might be thinking that I was so to touched by the honor. But I actually had to stop myself from punching Nick Kypreos in the chicklets due to the fact Hauser was picked first, then Nordic Man was 2, with Weiser being selected 3rd. How does a guy with my resume get picked after those guys? That is so weak.

I am now going to play the nationality card. You always draft a Canadian first. We take care off business. When it comes to the Entourage you need a good cop and a bad cop. Guess what I was selected for. Do the math donkey. Don't worry crew I got ya back.

Canadians always come in to clean up the mess!!! I am a one man wolf pack that now has 5 new wolves in my pack. Run free a wild my friends and stay thirsty.

I'm out

C

Cory, well done my friend. I will tell you why you were picked later in the draft. Drama. Pick Cory first, NO DRAMA, pick Cory middle DRAMA. Just remember Cory you and Marty are THE foundation of this Entourage and will be the mainstays. Well, we have two more guys to pick. One for the main crew and one more alternate. Who will it be? Stay tuned for the next 30 or so years and you may find out.

NOW HAVE A GREAT LONG WEEKEND AND GET BACK TO WORK!!!

Happy Birthday Marty Frey and my Stanley Cup Picks for the Conference Finals...

Okay, first off today I need to give a shout out to my main man Marty Frey. Marty's birthday is today and you all should drop him a line at marty.frey@nbc.com. He would love that. Marty is a member of the Entourage that will never be announced and is the hook up for everything hollywood. Green Bay Born, Hollywood living, kick your ass in a heart beat for badmouthing the Pack Marty Frey.

He told me he will be tipping a few of his new favorite beers tonight. He also told me that today is the first time in 10 years of living in hollyweird, wow, has it been 10 years? Anyway, the first time he has EVER seen clouds or rain in May. Well just consider that a gift from all of us who actually see snow in the winter up north. Cool. Happy Birthday homie. Have a great day.

NEXT: Now, I know the third round started yesterday and Chicago and Philly are both up a game in their series. Who cares, still does not change my picks. As long as I am giving out shout outs, I would be remiss not to mention the man, the myth the legend, Cory Blashill who has been trekking all across this country following the road to the Stanley Cup. He is currently in Philly for the East Final and if you want to send him your love. Drop him a note and tell him he is doing a hell of a job at blashill@rogers.blackberry.net. Fill his blackberry up. Give him something to read on those lonely nights at the bars after the games. He would love that. Keep it up Cory. I loved the video of the Wings fan giving Gene Principe shit for bringing out the broom. That was awesome.

Here are my picks..

EASTERN CONFERENCE FINAL

PHILADELPHIA FLYERS (6) vs MONTREAL CANADIENS (8)

Now, I have been picking against the Canadiens for three rounds now. You would think I have learned my lesson. Kinda. I think they are not good enough to beat either team out west and I think that they are not the world beaters that every rioting Canadien fan thinks that they are. In fact I loved the Philly fans giving them the business singing their song in the rink on Sunday. That was AWESOME. But, Philly has a BACKUP FREAKING GOALTENDER. One of these days he is going to fall to earth and I think it will be soon. I hate Montreal but I am taking them in 6.

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL

SAN JOSE SHARKS (1) vs CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS (2)

Back to my 'NEVER ROOT FOR A SOUTHERN TEAM' rule. Screw the Sharks and their stupid Shark Tank. I know that Donnie Granato said that he did not think that they could go deep into the playoffs because of their goaltending but I am going to disagree with Don this time and take the Blackhawks in 7. San Jose cannot go to the final because whoever does from the west will win the Cup. I do not want some other lily livered, stupid ass team from the south winning the Cup. Give it to Kane, Toews, and the Hawks. Love it.

NEXT: I found this video in my personal archive and I thought I would share it. It is a line brawl from the Gamblers versus Suck City Mousketeers back in around 1997. I think. I did not shoot this video but I sure as hell kept the tape. Classic Gambler Line brawl. I want you all to notice that Chad Stauffacher, the Captain (21), started this fight on the bench. He sure as hell did not end the brawl there. Loved to watch Chad stir the shit.

Enjoy...

Gamblers Line Brawl from hamiltongbp on Vimeo.

Now have a great work week and

GET BACK TO WORK!!!!

Marty Frey is in? Really? Like that wasn't going to happen.

How did this happen? Two postings in three days? Even bigger, two Entourage members in three days. Amazing.

As you can see by the incredible photo-shopped picture above, Marty Frey is the next member of the posse. I know that I have not given the nomination of Weiser too much room to breathe, but now is not the time to breathe. Weiser and Marty in three days is two pretty good selections if you ask me. It is kinda like the all you can eat buffet at a Chinese resteraunt. You know that fifths is a bad idea, but man, it is that Kung Pao is sooo good.

I first met Marty when I moved to the promised land, Green Bay Wisconsin. Marty was the front man for promotions for WGBA and their news start up. Marty was the man who used to be the calming force of Chris from Green Bay. On days where THE MAN was pushing me down, or some stupid reporter did something stupid. Marty was there. He would join me in the NBC26 commissary (a silver Ford Escort), and we would talk it out. By the end of my sammich and Funyuns, all was good.

Marty was also a founder of the poker club in GB. I still think fondly on those nights when we would be in the Garage drinking beer, smoking cigars, listening to our theme song Asshole on the juke, and playing cards. Hell, Marty is the dude who uttered the immortal words, "I ain't no queer or nuthin', but I would fuck that Dee Snider in the ass." Classic. At that point beer, food, spit, and laughter shot out of mouths and noses. Epic. I believe that photo on the left is shortly after that moment.

Marty almost killed me once. True story. Shooting a commercial in Wisconsin. He had a nice brush pile going on his sisters place and we were going to burn it for 'dramatic effect'. So as it goes when brilliant minds get together, we decided to fuel it up with a nice five gallon pail of unleaded. Guess who the brilliant guy was that lit the fire? Yup, when it went up the fire ran along the ground about 2 or 3 feet behind me. As Marty said, he ain't never seen me move that fast. Here are the commercials...

Ned the Dead promos from hamiltongbp on Vimeo.

Hell, look at the 'Things we discuss" list on the right. Look how many times Marty is mentioned. 56 freaking times. Just below the Stanley Cup and just above the viqueens suck. Marty is a TT legend. He was also along on the epic trip to Lambeau field and the NFC Championship in 2007. Epic weekend of drinking and football.

I guess I could go on and on about the dude, who is the only dude I know who has been to a party at the Playboy Mansion, but I will just turn it over to him and let him drop some knowledge on us...


As I stood in the wings of The Jay Leno Show last night - the final show, by the way - I thought that it was a perfect analogy of what I will bring to the "Peterson Posse". The Stars come and go - they shine for a while and then fade just as quickly... But I was there at the beginning - there for the highs and lows - and still there at the end to mop up the mess and start again somewhere else.

The balancing force that is needed in a posse of such dimensions and personal diversity. I'm there to tell the rest of the idiots the "real way" that the world works and the first one to say "screw it - let's get the hell out of here and grab a beer somewhere"... But also the guy who is the quiet and subversive practical joker - OK, maybe not the quiet part - but definitely devious.

So - in the immortal words of Groucho Marx - "I never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me as a member" - I humbly accept my inclusion into the Peterson Posse, while reserving the right to bitch about how stupid everyone else is and take off on a tangent anytime I damn well please.

There - hows that? Don't like it. I don't care.

Marty


So we now have four members of our crew named. Who will be next? Blashill? Venckus? Doroshenko? Your guess is as good as mine. Stay tuned and maybe I will name them before the year 2020. Yeah, that's gonna happen.

Okay, that is all I got for today. I will drop something else soon. I am also working on that series on the former Green Bay Gamblers and what they are up to. Now,
GET BACK TO WORK!!

Chad Weiser makes the cut and queen loss fall out...

Hello, and welcome to TundraTalk as we continue on our 2 to 6 year selection process of picking my entourage. I know, most of you have been a bit angry about how long it has been taking. Some of you have moved on completely and don't care any more. Sorry about that, but you know, life catches up to you and a guy that is running a multi dollar multi media conglomerate like TundraTalk runs short of time. Or Maybe I am just a bit lazy. Who knows. Get over it. I am back to doing it. Trust me, the guys who are involved are paying attention.

I guess as you can see by the picture up there that Chad Weiser is the latest selection into my Entourage. Chad came up strong in his interview overcoming a few obstacles. CLICK HERE if you want to run it again. The first being that he sat in a car and watched me fight two guys once. Yeah, it happened. Oh, and the huge hurdle of marrying one of my old girlfriends. He did well and excelled to make the cut.

I first met Chad when I moved to North Dakota back in the early eighties. Yes it is true he was in the original posse that was formed in a 1982 Ford Escort GLX. That car was dubbed the Escorche and was the site of many a crazy scheme and RUN DMC sing-a-long. We spent a lot of time running around the state of ND blowing shit up and having a ton of fun doing it. Other members of this posse were Shannon Just and Bryan Powell.

In fact, those guys were the basis of my company WhiteHot Productions. Back in 1983 we stole my old man's camera and took over the Hazen Golf course and shot the first of many award winning shows. Celebrity Golf Tournament started me toward WhiteHot Productions and to a career where I actually get paid to run a camera. Nice. Chad now lives in Seattle, is married to Angie Reiker (said former girlfriend), has two kids and is working as a Lawn Care Specialist. I guess he mows lawns and stuff. Naw, he is a landscape architect. Chad has something to say..


I, Chad Weiser, newest member of Chris Peterson's Entourage, would like to thank God, my family, Chris of course, the people of Canada, the Packers, and cold North Dakota winters which provided long extents of boredom for Chris and I to start the origins of his first crew/entourage.

Being an old timer in Chris's circle of candidates, I appreciate Chris's memory of my great skills in having his back for all potential slobber-knocking fights and entertaining him during those long winters (not like that, get your mind out of the gutter), while forgetting that I married his old girlfriend. Well a lot of time has passed, and we are all better for it.

Now that Chris is a big shot, I am sincerely humbled by his selection of me for his Entourage. I expect to be a confidant and counselor, but most importantly my goal will be to properly serve and protect while bringing him a beer or brat whenever he desires.

To the TT Nation, carry on and be strong. Go Brett Farve.

Chadwick Von Weiser


Nice job Chad, well except for that Brent Favre blast at the end. Screw Brent Favre.

Speaking of Brent Favre. I got some good feedback on my last posting. First thing I got, within minutes, was from Gene Principe, of the Sportsnet Principe's.

I never should have believed in Favre...what the hell? Too many players on the field? Who is the coach Ken Miller? Then the pick. What a shithead Favre is...if he doesn't know better by now it's too late...I should be watching the Super Bowl hoping to wash away the ghosts of Fran Tarkenton and the Vikings 4 Super Bowl trips without victories..instead Drew 'Birthmark' Brees represents the NFC..I've had enough.. Gene

I believe that was sent via his crackberry because I had to correct a ton of grammar and spelling. One thing I do love about it is the venom involved. Ha, ha ha. Live by the Favre, die by the Favre. Not sure why he had to blast Drew Brees, but hey, he was angry, and I love it.

Marty then followed up my post by sending me a ton of pictures that really make me happy. Have a look...and have a great week...

Justice, in this case, is best served with an interception...

Okay, it has been a while since I was a regular poster on TundraTalk. I guess I could say that I have been busy, or that I have not been motivated, but that would be double talk. I will admit it has been a bit of a self imposed lack of writing. It would be a lie to tell you that the whole Brent Favre thing had nothing to do with it. Really it had a lot to do with it. That bastard really messed with me. I spent a lot of time praising Brett, whether it be at work, or at home, or here on the pages of this multi dollar website TundraTalk. Then he goes and turns into Brent Favre and goes and puts on the ugly purple dress and plays in minnesucka. That really kicked me in the ass. I was sick about it. THEN you add on the two drubbings during the season. That sucked. I hate Brent Favre.

Hey, I am not saying that I was down about my team and not wanting to talk about them. No way. I love the way the Pack played this year. They were awesome. Aaron Rodgers is the man and will be for a long time. I am just saying that it was just tough to get up for it when that dickhead was playing so well.

Oh, and some of you were NOT helping..

Hey Crispy,

Did you happen to catch the game today? I think if Green Bay had a better record and home field advantage they would have gone a lot deeper into the playoffs. I think 2 more wins in the regular season would have done it. Hmmmm....let's see, who did they lose to twice this year? Oh yeah, it was the Vikings led by the GREAT BRETT FAVRE!!!

Now that, my friend, is the exact definition of irony! I love Brett Favre and I will cheer for his team no matter what. When he finally cannot play anymore, I will once again cheer on your team. But, right now, the Packers will continue to be the idiots who gave up on the greatest quarterback of all time and tried to force him into retirement.

I have spoken.

P.S. The Riders pulled the biggest boner play of all time in the CFL. They, too, are idiots.

Go ESKS! Go FAVRE!

The Sandman

For the record Sandy Muldrew sucks. Big time.

Let me put something else straight also. BRETT FAVRE played for the Packers. BRENT FAVRE, the two timing douchebag traitor, plays for the minnesota viqueens. He sucks. Oh, I would be remiss not to say that this post might get a bit rough for my friends who are queenfans. Please do not take this personal, it is just business. And your business queenfan, is losing. ZINGO!!

So you can imagine how I feel after Sunday night. Let me break it down for you. I DID NOT WATCH THE GAME. I watched Live Free Or Die Hard for the 20th time. On basic cable no less. I have the DVD but watched it on TV. That is how much I did not want to watch the game. Great movie.

Don't get me wrong, during the commercials I flipped over to see what was up with the game. Score checking is all I did. I knew that the game was tied and going to overtime but still did not watch. I did however, switch over and get lucky and see Brent get slammed and hobble off the field. That was nice. Later, I, made a trip out in a snowstorm to get supplies at Shoppers Drug Mart. I did put the game on the satellite radio and listen to the OT on my way. I did my shopping and came out to listen to the kick. It would be an understatement to say that I was happy. I honked the horn all the way home and when I got home I did a few laps around the yard through 4 to 6 foot snow drifts. Donna was in the living room looking out the window and just shook her head.

The next morning I told McKenna that the vikings had lost and she said, in a very satisfied and confident voice...GOOD. She then went on to explain that when Brent was with the Packers he was the best ever and now he just sucked. I love that girl. She has a good head on her shoulders.

Now, lets talk about the game. It is only fitting that Brent threw an interception to lose the game for the queens. His last pass as a Packer was an INT, his last pass as a Jet was an INT, and from what people told me, his last pass as a Falcon was an INT. Only fitting that his last pass as a queen is an INT. Or is it his last pass? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. The off season 'will he or won't he' drama is all yours queenfan. ALL YOURS. You deserve it. It is not like you losers need anything else to worry about. For the record I think he will shut it down. Why not? Because, and I have said this before, THE qUEENS WILL NEVER WIN THE SUPER BOWL. NEVER. Put it in the bank. Why should he come back to be disappointed again? Zingo.

I will also make a few predictions for the future of the queen team. Other than they will be playing in LA within a few years. I am betting that a few of those other losers on the team, with their chest puffed out from their 'sucessful' season this year, will go out and do something stupid like drive drunk, shoot someone (or themselves) in a strip club, drive up Hennipen avenue with a cop on the hood, or rent a sex boat. Seriously, this will happen. But we all know if you play for the queens and break the law in minnesota, some a-hole season ticket holding judge will let you off the hook. The cheating, steroid using, whiny, Williams brothers can attest to that.

I mean really, do you think that Sidney "I am not Jerry" Rice, Vinny Shiancoe, and Pansy Harvin are really that good? Hell no. Brent Favre made them better. Those kids right now are believing all their press clippings and their egos are about as big as that stupid dome they play in. They are one rum and coke away from a DUI or one lap dance from a bullet in the foot. One of those ass clowns will be in jail before training camp. Guaranteed. If the douchebag traitor does not come back, these guys again become just average players in the NFL.

Another thing I can, and will, predict, is that this team will be mired in futility for as long as they play football inside. They have not won a big game since they moved indoors and won't as long as they STAY indoors. Build yourself an open air stadium, and then all bets are off. The weather is an X factor that will always help you. Believe that. Even still I think the morons that are in charge of that team, if they get the tax money to build the stadium, will build a covered one. Morons.

Now that I have all that off of my chest. Let's make fun of them some more. As you all know, I am a regular on a show in Des Moines called Sound Off with Keith Murphy. Keith has been having me on his radio show on KXNO this year off and on to rile up the locals with my special brand of superfandom. Well, he contacted me on Monday and I went on the show. What follows is Chris from Green Bay being awesome...

I must put a disclaimer on it.

This show contains views and opinions that are truly awesome and always right. If you are a queenfan, or a person who wears purple on a regular basis, you may not want to listen to this. If you are awesome and smart, listen away.


Chris From Green Bay on KXNO from hamiltongbp on Vimeo.


Marty Frey sent me this pic on Tuesday. Apparently there has been a recall of all the Brent Favre jerseys. Very funny and appropriate... I mean really. Look at that jersey. That is not ugly, it is ooooooooogly. HOW can anyone put that on. It just screams "I am a loser. Please kick me in the stones." Wait, the queens do that to their own fans EVERY year. Just when they think they got over, BAM, right in the stones. Zingo.

Really, for the first time in my life in this postseason I was forced to cheer for America's Crackwagon, the DallASS Cowboys. Shame on me. Shame on Brent Favre.

Oh, and remember when Brent said he thought this queen team was the best he had ever played with? Even better than the 96 world champion team? Yeah, I would like to ask him if he still believes that, you know since, THAT TEAM ACTUALLY WON A SUPER BOWL AND THIS ONE DID NOT!!! You suck Favre, you and your weak attempts at team unity. I remember that act when you said that about the last few years you had in Green Bay. Your story is getting old, just like your arm. Go away. Douchebag traitor.

Speaking of douchebags, here is one for the ages. I am sure that if you have been to or watched a queen game this year, you have seen this guy...He calls himself 100% cheese free. His name is Syd Davy. Can't even spell Sid right. Douche. Anyway, he is from Winnipeg no less and he likes to think of himself as the biggest queen fan of all. Check the picture to the left. Looking out the window longingly at the minneapolis wasteland. Nope, dipshit, there are no Super Bowl Trophies out there. Or do you think he is longing for a long, slow, wet kiss from Brent? Anyway, I happened upon this loser because the Winnipeg CBC did a story on him and someone at work, trying to get me all riled up showed it to me. Jackass. Here it is...



What a jerk off. Now, don't get me wrong, there are jerk offs at Lambeau also. Like the Packalope guy. I am not a fan of those guys either. I do however like the Saint Vincent Lombardi dude. He is cool. Did I tell you I saw him in PHX at the game I went to? He was there. I often wonder where these people get the money to travel and act like idiots in other stadiums.

Anyway, this guy, the Cheese Free guy, has a profile on a queen site. Really funny read. Not sure exactly how it was written, or if the guy even knows how to read. CLICK HERE to read one really long paragraph of a whole bunch of nothing. I tried to read the whole thing but got a headache after about two minutes of reading. He really needs to learn how to hit RETURN on the keypad.

He also has tattoos on his arm from every time a queen jumped into the stands and he caught them (of course stolen from the Lambeau Leap), queenfan is NEVER original. But instead of putting a 'too on that has a date or score, he puts the team that the vikings were playing on his arm. So now he has tattoos of OTHER TEAMS LOGOS on his arm? What are you thinking? Oh yeah, you aren't.

So where am I going with this? Well, I just wanted to get a bit of this out there because where ever I went this season I was asked about the Brent Favre thing. I fly the colors almost every day so when someone saw me they usually wanted to know what I thought. I even had a Highway Patrolman ask me as he was giving me a warning for driving too fast on the way back from ND. He was not a queen fan so he let me go. I am trying I guess to get some finality on this whole subject so as to not have to bring it up again. I am sorry to all my friends, if they still are friends, for the venom I spilled in this post. Remember this is just business. If you had a multi dollar website like me devoted to the queens (why would you waste your time, Zingo.) I would expect the same from you.

Oh yeah, and I still don't have to capitalize their name. Win one, and maybe I will. That trophy case will be empty for a LONG time.

Favre and the queens suck...

The big match up on Monday against the queens has elicited some good comments. I want you first to read this article in the Milwaukee JS. Kinda sums it up, Packers want to kick Favre's ass, and Favre is a big fat liar.

Marty Frey pipes in on the whole mess that this game has become...

So many emotions... I said the first day that Ted Thompson took over that there was something wrong with him.. Plain old just didn't like him and what he stood for. And time has bore that out. But Brett should never have gone to play for the viqueens - that is unforgiveable.

The Pack isn't ready for this game - The viqueens only have to hand it off to Peterson enough times and then throw a couple passes and game over. I'm just sick about this and how those godless queen fans will claim that they are unstoppable. The only good that can come of this is for Ted Thompson to be fired as GM.

Marty

Marty, my man, I know this is a tough time. I am right there with you. It seems that everyone I know wants to talk to me about the whole Favre thing. Even the freaking Premier of this province wants to rub it in a bit. Yeah, how do you tell the Premier to "F-off. I don't want to talk about it."? You don't you just smile and say that the queens are still the same queens and will NEVER win the super bowl. NEVER. By the way, that is usually what I say when I see the evil grin in someone's eye in the news room. I don't want to talk about it. I will get over it on MUST WIN MONDAY NIGHT. That is what it is called now. MUST WIN.

Jay Carton, of the Billsfan Edmonton Carton's, drops me a line and calls me out a bit. Read it first then I will explain...

Hey Chris,

As always, TT is just plain good reading. I've been waiting all week for a Pack/Vikings rant. Got to say, I was a bit perplexed. The letter to Ted Thompson (wouldn't it be awesome if his middle name was Ian? He seems like a giant mammary) seemed like you were hedging your bets.

You make a decisive prediction, complete with an injury with massive consequences, yet you wrote the letter just in case. Huh?

On a separate note, we're going to be in the big R this weekend, but I'm not sure how much free time we'll have. Be great if we could meet up for a bit (and beer).

Jay

You know what Jay, I am big enough to admit it. I was wrong in my intent of that letter. You were right. Ted, that letter was for you no matter what happens this weekend. You are a jackass wether the Pack win or lose. You suck. I have an idea for you though Ted. Maybe you could put Harrell in as an offensive lineman, he sure as hell can't play defense. Give it a go, it can't any stupider of a move than picking him in the first round. Oh, and Jay, you are always welcome in my house and are welcome to drink my beer.

Next, Gene Principe, of the Sportsnet pain in Cory Blashill's ass, Principe's, accepts the bet on the game for monday. On a related note, the bet on the game with Scott Dahl, of the Minneapple Dahl's, is for a 12'r of beer AND he will stop deleting my comments on FaceBook about the queens. I will not lose, but, if they do, but they won't, I will owe him a 12' of beer and I will not post any more smart ass remarks on his comments about the queens. Gene, what dumb ass thing do you have to say?

I actually like Favre now..after his last second TD toss....you're on big boy

Gene

Yup, dumb ass.

It is so hard being right all the time. Wait, no it's not. Oh and Weiser's Podcast is up and on the air...

Yes, it is hard to be humble. I called it. I told you what would happen, and it happened. Some might call that having ESP, most TV networks might call me up and base a prime time show on me. I just am that good.

The Stanley Cup went to the Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games. If you would like to confirm that I was right, just click here. It was a great final game that was a nail biter from end to end. I am usually very critical of Detroit fans because they hardly ever get to the game on time, or back to their seats for the beginning of the period but I will give them credit for staying through the trophy ceremony and actually clapping for the Penguins. I will also give them credit for booing the shit out of Bettman. I love that. It happens every year and it is worth the wait every year. Bettman is a tool.

I want Ty Conklin's name on the cup really bad, but he just was on the wrong team. If you look at recent history, he has been on the wrong team of late. He was in Edmonton when they lost in seven games to the Carolina Hurricanes. He was also in Ottowa when they lost the cup. He was on the Pittsburgh Penguins last year when they lost to the Wings. I think it is safe to say at this point that if Ty is on your team you will get to the final but winning it is probably not in the cards. In the USHL Ty won back to back championships for the Green Bay Gamblers so he is not a jinx by any means but he did lose the NCAA Frozen Four with the New Hampshire Bears and the Calder Cup (game 7) with the Hamilton Bulldogs. Not sure what to do with all that math.

Let me tell you a story. There is a guy I know named Preacherman. He is a guy from Pulaski Wisconsin. He likes hockey. He also likes the Godless Detroit Red Wings. As he has always done, he will call me or text me after the Red Wings win against the Avs. During this final he took time out of his 'busy' schedule to text me immediately after EVERY game in this series. Of course these texts were not of a complimentary nature. Most of them were very braggadocio. Nice word huh? Yeah, I am kind of a big deal. Anyway, he would most of the time tell me how many games the Red Wings had won. I would always tell him that it takes 4 to win the Cup. He was counting his chickens so to say, which we all know, especially in hockey, a person should not do.

Well, Preacherman has something to say to all of you out there in TundraTalk Nation...

Dear TundraTalk Nation,

I still sit here brokenhearted. When parents say they love their kids equally in their own way, THEY ARE LYING! Every parent has their fav kid. My favorite "kid", the Detroit Red Wings, decided only to show up to a couple of the the Stanley Cup finals games. And it showed by bowing out to my other kid, Sid the kid, and the Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games (as Sign Boy perdicted once again). Chris is getting almost as good with his picks as the stinking genious Arnie Spanier.

As I sat there watching game seven in my Joey Kocur sweater (and Crosby sweatsuit underneath) I realized how much they need Darren McCarty and Chelli out there. The Wings were trying to be too pretty, they need to play that tough game that brought them the past 4 cups. They don't have the skill that they had in '02 (thank God for Brett Hull!) They got ran over, out played, out everything by the Pens. And it does seem like Ty Conkiln is a Stanley Cup curse, even though it pains me to say that. My heart did stop for a little while when Sidney got hurt, but it's all good now.

Mario finally passed the torch to Sid, it's now his league. It was awesome seeing Mario with the cup again. PLEASE Mario, just one more shift. You, Sid, and Malkin.

Preacherman

Well Preacherman, it takes a strong man to admit he was wrong, and boy you were wrong, so I congratulate you on your admitting wrongness. You root for a crappy hockey team and you are not ashamed to admit it. If only you could be as bold about your Lions. Man they suck.

I would like to also at this point say I offered space to Trev Doroshenko to apologize to you, but he would not. He has too much pride (ego) to admit when he is wrong. Oh and he IS WRONG.

NEXT: I had the opportunity to conduct my interview with OG Posse Member Chad Weiser, of the Seattle Weisers, this week. Chad took time out of his 'big city' schedule to make his case for being part of the most elite posse this side of the Mississippi. We are on this side of the Mississippi aren't we?

Anyway, Chad (that is him as Bob McKenzie on the left in the black and white pic) brought the noise and made a strong case for inclusion. He took Marty Frey's smak and handed it right back, he set the record straight on the War Hero in the car wash incident, and did quite well on his movie quotes. CLICK HERE to listen to the podcast or just click the link at the top right of the page. You know TundraTalk is the Podcast that does not suck.

Next up on the Podcast that never ends is Shawn Hauser of the Green Bay Hausers. He will round up our interview process and send the wheels in motion to selection. Unless, Tony Mutzenberger makes a late apperance. Which would be nice.

How will the selection happen you ask? Well let me tell ya. It, of course, will be long and drawn out. I will be selection 5 guys for the posse, PLUS two alternates. The alternates will not have the honor of being in the actual posse BUT will be called upon at a moments notice to fill in for a 'first team' memeber if he cannot fulfill his duties at any time.

On the first selection post I will name the two fellas who rose up to be apart of the the alternate crew. Then I will post once a day until we have the whole crew named. I know, the tension is thick and you cannot hardly wait, but it will be worth it.

Now, Have a great Monday, and GET BACK TO WORK!!!

My pick for the Finals, Marty's Podcast, and another queen dumbass...

Okay, I know a lot of you have already seen the video above but I am showing it now because it is almost boat season here in Saskabush and I am damn sure going to be singing this song, in my head, every time I set foot in my boat. Funny as shit. I played it at work about 30 times the other day.

Oh, if you are at work make sure you do not turn it up because there is some swearing in the song. I will not take any responsibility if you lose your job because you are jamming out to this. I saw it first on Shannon Just Blog.

NEXT: I conducted Marty Frey's Entourage interview last night and it was epic. I will be editing it today and hopefully have it up tonight for all 20 or so of you who actually take the time to listen to it to peruse. Marty came strong and took shots at the host, NBC, Jay Leno, and of course the queens.

Speaking of Jay Leno he gave us some insight in the whole shift of power between Jay and Conan since he has been in rehearsals for Conan's show all week. This is another TT exclusive for you. I am truly a media mogul running this multi dollar website. You can CLICK HERE or click on the link to the right to listen to the podcast. If the words are not blue I do not have it up yet. When they turn blue it is on. Nice.

That also means that Chad Weiser, of the Seattle coffee drinkin' Weisers, is up next. I plan on cranking that one out soon also so be prepared.


NEXT: My picks for the Stanley Cup Final will be very similar to last year except for one thing....

DETROIT RED WINGS (2) VS PITTSBURGH PENGUINS (4)

Now, you all know I hate the Red Wings with a passion. I don't need to go there. We also know that Preacher and Doroshenko misguidedly love the wings. Don't need to go there. Ty Conklin is one of the greatest Green Bay Gamblers of all time AND a TT vetran. True. I want Ty's name on the Cup more than I want Favre to stay retired (which he will). Yes we know that. Preacher is in love with Sidney Crosby. True.

So where is this going? To the obvious, Penguins will win the Stanley Cup. Take it to the bank. Now I will tell you why. Since Gary Bettman is a tool and his only desire is not to keep the game of hockey great but to get better ratings in the USA (which will NEVER happen). In his infinite wisdom, and since NBC has their hand up his ass (sorry Marty). He has decided to play back to back games in the Stanley Cup final. Somebody kick this guys ass now.

Some of you may say that these guys are pros and should just shut up and play. Well you can say that as long as you are just watching them on TV. BUT, I followed the Oilers in 2006 in the playoffs and finals and I can tell you by being there that this is a very difficult thing to win the Stanley Cup. These guys beat the shit out of each other and that day of rest is very important to them. Gary, the numbnuts, Bettman makes them play Saturday night and then again Sunday afternoon. That is less than 24 hours to recover. God forbid the game goes a few overtimes. Screw Gary Bettman. He is ruining the game of hockey. Not to mention his hypocracy with this whole Phoenix Coyotes thing. Screw him.

Anyway, I think the Penguins are less beat up and are more ready for this. Sid the Kid has the eye of the tiger and Billy Gun Guerin has not got this far in his career and is not going to let it slip away. Sorry Ty, I am taking the Penguins in 7.

I would also like you to notice for the past few posts there has been little things to click on at the bottom. Kinda instant feedback you can say. Make sure you take time to click on the stuff on the bottom. Especially the viqueens suck one.

Oh and one more thing: I found this the other day on PackerPalace dot com. Fran Tarkenton, who played for the queens, has apparently lots to say about Favre in the Green Bay Press Gazette. After reading this...

“I think it's despicable,” Tarkenton told 790 The Zone in Atlanta (via the Minneapolis Star Tribune) regarding the possibility of Brett Favre playing for the Vikings. “What he put the Packers through last year was not good. Here’s an organization that was loyal to him for 17, 18 years, provided stability of organization, provided players. It just wasn’t about Brett Favre. In this day and time, we have glorified the Brett Favre’s of the world so much, they think it’s about them. He goes to New York and bombs. He’s 39 years old. How would you like Ray Nitschke in his last year [playing for] the Vikings, or I retire, and go play for the Packers? I kind of hope it happens, so he can fail.”

“He told the Packers [after 2008 that], ‘I’m retiring,’” Tarkenton said. “They’ve got to move on. They’ve got to go through their offseason plan, their workouts, they go with the other quarterback [Aaron Rodgers], who is a good player, and then [Favre] comes back and says, ‘I think I want to play.’ . . . You build your team in the offseason. Everybody knows that. It’s about team. It’s not about Brett Favre. So he goes and runs up to the Jets, doesn’t even dress in the locker room with the players. Has a separate facility. Playing quarterback is about the relationships you have with your coaches, with your players, with your trainers, with your managers. How can you do that if you show up on gameday and you haven’t put the time in? And now he’s trying to do it again in Minnesota. And if Minnesota bites, God bless them. . . .

“He’s been a great player, there’s no question about it, but it’s all about him. It is supposed to be all about your team. If you’re going to be the quarterback of your team, you need to be there in the offseason workouts in March and April. Peyton Manning’s there. Tom Brady’s there.”

“I think [Favre] has been a great flamboyant quarterback, but he has made more stupid plays than any great quarterback that I’ve ever seen,” Tarkenton said. “Look at his final game in a Packers uniform [the 2007 NFC title game]. He blew that game against the Giants. He’s playing against Eli Manning. I love Eli Manning, but he’s still not a great quarterback. He’s not Peyton yet, or Tom Brady. He’s just a guy. And [the Packers] are playing at home, and they’re in a tight situation, they went to overtime and [Favre] throws the interception that allows [the Giants] to come back and win the game.”

I used to have a lot of respect for Fran, but now all I have to say to him is show me your ring dick weed, then you can talk. Suck on that Frannie boy.

Thank you.

Make sure you send Derek Venckus, of the Deep South Venckus', a happy birthday greeting. He will appreciate it.
Have a great day and an even better weekend. Now GET BACK TO WORK.

Conference Finals and my new project...

Hello, are you listening? I hope you are because if you were, and you took my advice and called your bookie. You would be a lot richer right now. Last round I was 3 for 4 on the series. The only series I got wrong was the Bruins/Hurricanes and that went seven and OT in the seventh game. Could have gone either way. I am soooo good it is sick.

First off lets get to the mail bag... James Grandy, of the Minot Grandy's, pipes in...

Dear TT,

I'm with ya buddy, no real Viking fan wanted him. He sucks...and he is the same age as you pete, so really...it would be like you playing QB for the vikes.

This ain't over, its never over.....never.....ever.

You know what, I may as well as be your QB. I have just as many super bowl rings as any queen in history. Deal with that queenfan. Besides that has got to burn that the BEST shot you have at EVER getting a ring is with the greatest Packer player of all time. You suck.

Next Jon Bauer, also of the Minot Bauers, jumps into the Favre thing...

Chris :

I think you are looking this all wrong, if Favre does go to the DWIkings look at all the returns for Td that Chuck Woodson will have!!!!

Jon

Correctumundo...

Finally, Lee Ellison, of the Bismarck Ellisons, takes time out of his busy schedule being the biggest stupid viqueen fan of all times to send me this picture...

Thank you Lee for stepping up and finally joining the discussion. Everyone needs one more queen fan to bash. After all it is the Packer way.





So how do I out do round one and two? Well I am gonna tell you. Here are my picks for the Conference Finals.

EASTERN CONFERENCE FINAL

Pittsburgh Penguins (4) vs Carolina Hurricanes (6)

This one is a tough one, but not really. Preacherman's boyfriend, Crosby, is leading the playoff scoring and is on a tear. This kid is good. Does not crumble under pressure. Always seems to come up with a goal when he needs one. He is truly the goods. On the other hand, the Hurricanes have done exactly what everyone has said they wouldn't do. They whipped Brodeur and the Devils. The took off the number one seed in the Bruins in a series that they jumped out to a 3-1 lead. Amazing. Cam Ward is playing like a mad man right now and is really tough to beat. He looks a bit like he did back when the Hurricanes beat the Oilers in the final. You remember that right? Well you ought to, I blogged about it two, three times a day. I think home ice is gonna be huge in this one with the Pens getting one in Carolina. I am taking the Penguins in 6. I know the Nature Boy is not happy with me right now.

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL

Detroit Red Wings (2) vs Chicago Blackhawks (4)

Everyone here knows about my extreme dislike for the Red Wings. How much I wish they would take that octopus and shove it. They are almost on the level of hatred I have for the queens. Close, but not all the way there. Despite all that hate I have still managed to put it in a box for two rounds and pick them to win. I want Ty Conklin's name on the cup so bad I can taste it, but at what cost? What cost I ask? Do I want to sell my soul just to get his name on the cup? Hell no. If you look at the last couple of times Ty has been in the Final it was with the Oilers, Ottawa, and Pittsburgh. Where did that get those teams? Second place. This time I am thinking that it will get them second in the conference. Trev Doroshenkon and the Preacher are on the wrong side of the fence on this one. That is my heart picking, not my head. Blackhawks in 7.

Speaking of the Preacher man, he managed to send me his picks this time BEFORE the round began so I will share them now....

Dear TT,

I'm impressed by your vast knowledge! Wings did go to 7 games.

Penguins beat the 'Canes in 5

Only 8 more games until my Wings take the Cup ... again, and again, and again. WOOOOOO!

I can't wait until Favre becomes a Viqueen and we'll see how long it takes Stafford to be another failed pick for my Lions *cough* Andre Ware *cough*.

Preacher

Ummmmmm, Preacher, Favre is NOT going to play with the queens. Oh, and yes you read right, Preacher is a Lions fan. I did not know there were any left. Now that I think about it, I do remember Preacher playing the Lions back in the day when we held Madden tournaments. He used to cheat a lot running Sanders around the end and running the clock out. I remember a pass interference in the end zone that wasn't in one game. CHEATER. Hold a grudge? Not me.

Before I go any further I would like to send an extra happy birthday wish to TT ledgend Marty Frey. That's right, it is his birthday today. You might want to pay your respects to the man. I did. I sent him this.

I think he may likey. Happy birthday big man. Hope you managed to tip plenty of the tie dye brews today.


So I picked up a new project the other day. Off of Used Regina dot com. I got a new juke box. It is a Rock Ola Mirage 3000X CD changer. It holds 100 CD's and it does not work. I got it cheap, 50 bucks cheap. The guy who had it before me took the insides completely apart. Crazy. So I have managed to put it back together, for the most part. I got the CD rack to move back and forth, the digital read out to work, and pretty much everything but the arm to move the CD's. I know I am close.

I have one cord that I cannot find where it goes. I have been calling every vendor in town who has ever handled a CD juke and they are all very nice but not helpful. They don't want to lend a hand. Oh well, I will get it figured out eventually. If you happend to see one of these somewhere and it looks like it is being parted out. CALL ME. I might need some of it for this one.

Okay, have a good week and we will see you soon. GO BLACKHAWKS!!!!

FAVRE TO THE qUEENS????? In related news, forecast for hell is freezing rain...

As you know, TundraTalk has sources in all corners of Canada and the good ole US of A. As you also know, TundraTalk is your only source of breaking news about the Packers and other stuff. Well, I have done it again.

Sources tell TundraTalk that a certain DB that used to play for the Packers until he sold out, has told someone close to my source that if Brett Favre's 'arm is healed and feels good he will play for the queens.' Done deal. Rock solid. I will give you pause to scream NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


Okay, now that that is out of the way. How does TundraTalk feel about this? Well, I will tell you. This whole Favre to the queens is not new news. You can read about it here, here and here. I know that news has been around for weeks.

As far as why he wants to go to the godless queens? I put it square on Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy. He wants to play in Lambeau field and whip the pants off of the Packers. I hate to say it but, he might just do it. He did not have a chance to do it last year with the Jets but we all know that if he goes to the queens he will have two chances to do it. TT Nation member Ryan Popkey, of the GB Popkey's, told TT earlier today that he would love to have new LB Clay Mathews 'welcome him to Lambeau personally'. I agree, but man would it be hard to watch Favre run out of that tunnel wearing that godforsaken purple that those losers wear.

Really nothing would make me more happy than to see a shit look on Ted's face after Number 4 leaves the field with a 40-0 W on his back, but not for those shitty queens. Never. Due to his indiscretions last year I have already had to take my Favre Fathead wall hanging off the wall in the man cave, demoted him and moved it to the beer fridge room. Not that the beer fridge room is much of a demotion, but I would hate to have to move it to the shed. This kind of dumbass decision might just seal the deal. Really, who in their right mind wants to play in Minnesota? Dipshits and Randy Moss.

Forget what it says in the picture to the right, it would be MY worst nightmare. Last year when he was in NY I at least had two games to watch on Sundays that would be interesting. I was rooting for the guy whilst he was in NY. In fact I managed to finagle a NY Jets McFarlane Favre which is sitting right next to the Packer one. I was not totally offended when he went there last year. It was a reasonable thing to do. He actually had a decent 3/4's of the year with the Jets.

I don't ever want to find myself in front of the tube, watching Favre play, rooting for him, and then realizing I was rooting for the queens. NEVER. I mean really if Dick Cheney had a team and they were playing the queens, I would root for Dick. If Hitler had a team, wait, maybe not. I would root for injuries on both sides. Yeah.

Marty Frey, of the GB born and bred, Frey's, took time out of his busy schedule making NBC the greatest network on TV to tell us what he thinks...

Dear TundraTalk,

I loved Brett Favre as a Packer and I understand that his current motivation now is to hurt Ted Thompson any way that he can. Really - I can't blame him as Ted has systematically taken a winning team apart just so he could have "his guys" playing for him and Favre was standing in his way.

But going to the Viqueens is the last step in the tarnishing of a champion. I get it - you want to take Ted down. So do I. But going to the Viqueens is just like making a deal with the devil or turning traitor in the middle of battle..

Real heroes just don't do it. You take the high road and you let Ted self destruct on his own - then talk about it on ESPN after he's dead and gone.

Marty

I know Brett reads TundraTalk, so I am going to make my plea.

Dear Brett,

First off, I want to thank you for all the years you played so amazing for the Green Bay Packers. For all those 'holy shit' moments that you gave us whether we were sitting in the stands or watching at home on the TV. I was there when you whipped the 49'rs in 1996 when the rain was sleet and coming down sideways. I was there when you took on the Giants for the NFC Championship. I was there when you whipped the Cowboys by 3 TD's. That was freaking awesome. Oh and the night you beat the queens in OT with that prayer pass that Freeman caught off his ass. I was watching and screaming at my TV. Great moment.

I was there parade side when you brought the Lombardi Trophy back to where it belongs, Green Bay Wisconsin. Titletown USA. It was a glorious time to live in GB and to be a Packer fan. I to this day still believe that you deserved the MVP. Not Desmond 'I will leave you and suck next year' Howard. That said, the Minnesota viqueens will NEVER win anything EVER. You know that as well as I do.

Anyway, the reason I am writing you today is to plead to your better conscience. You are a great quarterback. Best ever in my book. You have nothing to prove to anyone. I know that that dick Ted Thompson really fucked with your life for two to three years and Mike McCarthy really does not know his head from his ass, but by doing this you are playing into their hands. They want you to do this. They are arrogant a-holes who think they do no wrong. Let them fall on their face by themselves. They do not need your push.

I know that Mr. Noodle over there in the Baggie Dome is making you an offer that will be hard to refuse. I mean really, look what he has to work with. Tavaris who? Sage who? And some guy named Booty who wears your number. If I were him I would be begging you to come also, but I would never, EVER be him because I have class and respect for the game of football. Real men play on grass outdoors. Oh, and don't run over traffic cops and go on porno boats on one of those many swamps in Minnesota. One more thing about Minnesucka, their hunting sucks balls. Wisconsin is waaaaaaay better. Believe dat.

Remember, Lambeau field is still your house. It ain't A Rod's until he has a winning season. We want to see you back in Lambeau just as bad as you want to be there. It's just that we want to see you raise your number to the ring of honour NOT see you wearing that ugly purple jersey.

So to wrap this up with a nice little green and gold bow. Please Brett, don't play for the queens. If not for your legacy, don't do it for all the fans who still think you are the greatest QB to ever play the game. Playing for the queens never does anyone any good. Look what it did for Herschel Walker and Warren Moon. Nothing. That is what you need to do, nothing. Oh, or maybe mow your lawn.

Your biggest fan, for now,

Chris from Green Bay
