happy birthday meyo

it's meyos birthday, and he's upset that i haven't written anything in a while. so, meyo, here's my gift to you.

i'm going to skip my reviews. wanted and hancock were good. we now know why brad pitt left jennifer aniston for angelina jolie. go see those movies.

instead, i would like to get some opinions on the latest sports announcement (at least to my knowledge). last week, nhl commissioner gary bettman approved a game to be played at wrigley field on new years day. the chicago blackhawks will host the detroit red wings. this will only be the third nhl game to be played outdoors.

i personally think this is a great idea. it mixes things up a bit, adds some spice that the nhl needs. not only will it be freezing outside, but i feel that it will add a cheering aspect like we have in the nfl (fans with painted bodies, half naked, and not caring about anything but their team). i'm not much of a fan of hockey, but i would love to watch a professional game outdoors. now they have to adjust to weather conditions and also playing at a baseball field.

who knows, maybe the knicks will decide to play a game at yankee stadium next season. couldn't really hurt them, now could it?

i would like to hear some opinions on the nhl decision.
