Jerry Fairish, Jim Iovino, and I spent the first hour talking NHL free agency, and then we reviewed "Hancock" and "Get Smart." Our pal The Ed called in during the second hour and talked about handicapped strip joints, diet soap, and his love of Wilma. The Ed's buddy Franklin even made an appearance. It was more fake radio gold.

(Sunshine) Marian Hossa.

Recently, one of our loyal readers, Nat Peterson, sent us an email about Gordie Howe, the Hartford Whalers, and the disgusting nature of the corporate sports world. Considering how bitter I am these days about the corporate ESPN culture and all the evil it brings, I felt it would be nice to share Nat's letter with the rest of you, our literally dozens and dozens of readers.

06.26.08
Jerry Fairish and I talked some hockey, covering the Draft Day trades, free agent rumors, and the upstart Russian league. Jim Iovino and Zippy the Wonder Chimp also stopped by. But The Ed was once again the star of the show, spending about 40 minutes with us in the first hour and then calling back for the final 20 minutes or so of the second hour. We talked about ESPN screwing over our pal Dave Dameshek, and then we got into fantasy baseball, TV, movies, and the ladies. The Ed reveals how many women he's bedded in his life, why the Jack in the Box around the corner kicked him out, and tons of other stuff. It's more fake radio gold.

06.20.08 The Ed Sings
The NHL Draft is tonight. Unfortunately, I'm still recovering from those filthy Wings winning the Cup and don't feel like writing about hockey yet. But what better way to celebrate the Draft than by listening to our pal The Ed sing? You're welcome.
Fly Like an Eagle
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Laverne & Shirley Theme
06.19.08
We talked the NHL Awards, coaching changes, trade rumors, and Jim Iovino broke down the Draft. But the big news is we received another phone call from The Ed. Aw, The Ed was in fine form. Where to begin? He talked about fishing with Bobby Knight, he discussed Magic Johnson's magic Johnson, he broke a story of Isiah Thomas doing some shady dealings, and he even sang the "Laverne and Shirley" theme song. He closed things out by discussing the Top 11 Ugliest TV Broads with Jerry. It's fake radio at its finest.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
06.11.08
Matt Diggs called to rub it in about the Red Wings winning the Cup, our pal Michigan Frank reported on his experiences at Game Six, Jerry and I reviewed "Iron Man" and "Indiana Jones and the Space Monkeys," and then we finished with a quick Top 11 Cartoon Characters. But the true highlight was a visit from The Ed. If you're not familiar with The Ed, you must listen to the show. The Ed is the best. He spent almost the entire first hour with us, talking about "To Catch a Predator," Tina Fey, Aunt Bea, the best places to go to the bathroom, and so much more. It's fake radio gold.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
06.09.08
The Detroit logos are up, Dominik Hasek is retiring, and our pal Howard Shapiro wrote a book.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
06.07.08
Our pal Michigan Frank Hanzel was at Game Six and took some swell pictures, including one of Zetterberg making out with some broad. Frank will discuss his experiences at Game Six on this Wednesday's radio show.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
06.05.08
The Detroit Red Wings beat the Pittsburgh Penguins, 3-2, in Game Six to win the Stanley Cup. And the Pens aren't the only ones that lost. We'll all be suffering soon enough.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
06.04.08
We talked all things Game Five, NHL TV ratings, and John Tortorella getting the boot. Jerry gave movie reviews of "The Strangers" and "Juno," and then we closed things out with the Top 11 Wrestling Finishing Moves. Make way for the Corporate Champ. And I've also got a link to the video of "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig playing hockey with Mike Modano.

Three words: Marc. Andre. Fleury.

06.01.08
Those filthy Wings won Game Four 2-1. Now I've got worry.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.29.08
Thanks to Kid Crosby, the Birds are back in it.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.28.08
Jerry Fairish, Jim Iovino, and I were on the air live during Game Three. Detroit fan Matt Diggs called in to share his thoughts on the series, our pal Sean Leahy offered live on-the-scene reporting following the game, and good ol' Matthieu "Frenchy" Masquelet sat in for most of the show and offered reviews of "Iron Man" and "Indiana Jones." (Sunshine) Detroit.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.27.08
I've seen that fish before. It was more of the same in Game Two, as those filthy Wings posted another shutout win. But there's reason for hope.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.26.08
Let the adjustments begin.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.25.08
Well, that certainly was unpleasant.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.24.08
Gee, I wonder who I'm gonna pick...
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.22.08
Jerry Fairish and I previewed the Stanley Cup Finals. Ace Reporter Jim Iovino called in just to irritate everyone and pick the Wings. Jerk. Brandon went AWOL, so Jim and I threw together our own list to battle Jerry in the Top 11 Sports Movies. And I got two words for ya... Youngblood. Deal with it.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.20.08
Those filthy Red Wings are going to the Cup Finals. And a nation wept.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.19.08
The Penguins continued their tear through the playoffs with a 6-0 pummeling of the Flyers. The Birds will take a 12-2 record into the Stanley Cup Finals. And I think we all agree we want Dallas to meet them there, right? (Sunshine) Detroit.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.17.08
The Red Wings and Pens will have to work a bit harder for that dream Stanley Cup Finals matchup.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.15.08
First, we talked the hockey, touching on my hidden love for the Red Wings. Then Jim Iovino reviewed "No Country for Old Men," Zippy had another wonderful installment of the "Super Terrific Space Monkey Ghost Happy Hour," and Brandon Dameshek joined us for the Top 11 People We'd Like to Beat with a Shovel. We closed things out with some "Three's Company" trivia. Don't (sunshine) with Brandon and the "Three's Company" trivia.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.14.08
The Penguins dropped the Flyers 4-1 last night, setting the stage for two Conference Finals sweeps.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.13.08
C'mon, it's not so bad. Big deal, the Wings are up 3-0 in the Campbell Conference Finals. Who cares? You're allowed to lose three. Dallas is just making it fun. Right? Please, someone tell me they're just making it fun!
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.12.08
We all knew he could act, but Max Talbot can also score in the clutch.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.09.08 Conference Call Transcripts
Sidney Crosby
Michel Therrien
05.08.08
Pittsburgh versus Philadelphia. Let the bloodletting begin. UPDATE: It was just announced Kimmo Timonen has a blood clot in his foot. He's likely out for the series. Hard to get happy after that one. Unless, you know, you're a Penguin fan.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.08.08
(Sunshine) Detroit.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.08.08
Topics include a conference finals preview, an exclusive Gary Bettman interview, space monkeys, and Top 11 Songs from Bands You Hate. And, yes, Jerry does want it that way. Backstreet Boys? Really?
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.07.08 Conference Call Transcripts
The NHL had a bunch of confernece calls yesterday. I didn't have time to write full articles, but here are the transcripts.
Marty Turco and Brenden Morrow
Henrik Zetterberg
Dave Tippett
Mike Babcock
05.07.08
I think we all learned something from the Rangers-Penguins series. Personally, I didn't even know weasels had spleens.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.06.08
No matter how much he struggled, Carey Price is still a swell goalie. He'll be fine. I'd be happy to give him another compliment, but I'm scared he'd drop it.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.06.08
Writing this article sickened me.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.05.08
It took four overtimes, but Brenden Morrow and the Dallas Stars finally snuffed the Sharks.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.04.08
Maid Marian no more. Hossa delivers in the clutch, and the Penguins waddle into the conference finals.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.04.08
I ain't afraid of no 0-3 deficit. I got your four straight wins right here.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.02.08
It's over. It's all over. And I'm not just talking about the Colorado-Detroit series. Plus, The Rangers prolong the inevitable.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
05.01.08
We talked playoff hockey, discussing the Flyers-Habs, Pens-Rangers, and even those filthy Red Wings getting lucky against the Avs. Other hockey topics included Sean Avery injuring his spleen, the trophy nominations, and an exclusive interview with Alexander Ovechkin. Then we unveiled a new segment, "The Super Terrific Space Monkey Ghost Happy Hour with Zippy the Wonder Chimp." And Brandon Dameshek made his triumphant return, battling Jerry in the Top 11 Worst TV Shows. Two hours of fake radio gold.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.30.08
The Pittsburgh Penguins put the Rangers on the brink, taking a 5-3 decision in MSG. And they couldn't have done it without Ryan Hollweg.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.28.08
I've had enough of the Kid Crosby bashing. Plus, Michel Therrien continues to win his war with common sense, the Stars have the Sharks on the ropes, and Detroit still sucks.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.25.08
Dallas vs. San Jose.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.25.08
Here's a quick look at the New York-Pittsburgh series.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.24.08
I'm strapped for time, but here's a quick preview of the series that start tonight. I'll have the other two, not to mention the remainder of the first round recaps, tomorrow.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.24.08
Yeah, we talked hockey, but the true highlights were an in-depth discussion of the amazing "Paranormal State" TV show and a visit from the great Brandon Dameshek, who helped us with our list of Top 11 Worst Bands. Good times, good times.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.23.08
That was a great series. I was so impressed, I wanted to buy Alexander Ovechkin a drink, but he passed on the shot.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.23.08
It's almost too horrible to imagine. Joe Thornton and Jeremy Roenick are playoff heroes. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... the dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.23.08
Score one for the old guys.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.21.08
Ding-dong, the Ducks are dead.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.20.08
Kid Crosby and crew took a broom to Ottawa's sorry ass. And someone needs to tell Jason Spezza and Dany Heatley the series is over. I think they're still waiting for it to start.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.17.08
Jerry Fairish and I recapped the first round of the playoffs, including live coverage of Pittsburgh's sweep of those filthy Senators. Then we talked some TV, a little "There Will Be Blood," and then we did our Top 11 Sports Heroes.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.15.08
The Nashville Predators aren't done yet, rising from the dead to stun those filthy Red Wings in Game Three. Aw, it was glorious! Plus, Kid Crosby buries the Senators, and Sean Avery joins the circus.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.14.08
In Game Three of the Calgary-San Jose series, Owen Nolan came back to haunt his old team, scoring late in the third period to lead the Flames to a thrilling 4-3 victory. San Jose lost despite scoring three goals in the game's first three minutes. Which begs the obvious question: do sharks even have a gag reflex?
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.12.08
The Ottawa Senators tried to Hamburgler Game Two, but the Pittsburgh Penguins prevailed in the end, getting a late goal from Ryan Malone to take the 2-0 series lead.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.10.08
Jerry Fairish and I went a full two hours, yet we somehow still managed to talk about absolutely nothing of importance. Well, we did make our predictions for the first round of the playoffs, talked about the draft lottery, and then did our Top 11 movies from the 1980s. And Jerry loves himself some Anthony Michael Hall.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.09.08
The Ottawa-Pittsburgh series begins tonight, but the war of words has already started. Or at least I think it has. I still can't understand a word Bryan Murray says.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.09.08
The NHL held a conference call with Lindy Ruff and Ken Hitchcock to get their thoughts on the first round. It's really not that interesting, but I felt obligated to run it for all you Hitchcock fans out there. See, I read your emails. Enjoy your man, ladies!
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.08.08
C'mon, Predators!
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.07.08
The playoffs are here. Start pouring.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.07.08
The NHL held a conference call with Don Cherry, Mike Milbury, Pierre McGuire, and Mike Emrick. It's okay. Highlights include Cherry talking about toast and Milbury revealing his pet name for Marian Hossa.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
04.03.08
Yeah, we talked some hockey, but the big news was that our buddy Ryan Saeler, better known as Popeye the Producer from Dave Dameshek's Sports Contraption, returned to the show. Popeye served as the celebrity judge for this week's Top 11. Oh, and we also had a real live meth addict call the show. Good times.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.29.08
Since BlogTalk went loopy last Wednesday, Jerry and I did a special Saturday podcast so we could finish up our Top 11 movie actors. Then we talked some TV, including my new favorite show... "UFO Hunters." And that's not sarcasm. I love the "UFO Hunters." Can't get enough of it. I'm gonna go hunt me some space monkeys.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.28.08
The NHL keeps cranking out the conference calls. And this one's pretty interesting. The Pittsburgh GM talks about Marian Hossa's health and future with the team, Kid Crosby's ankle the day after his return, and Ryan Whitney's time at left wing. It's good stuff.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.28.08
Who needs Kid Crosby when you've got Jarkko Ruutu? Plus, the Capitals win again, Willie O'Ree makes the TV, and Mike Keenan continues to win friends and influence people.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.28.08
The NHL Media held a conference call with Eric, Jordan, and Marc Staal on Wednesday. There really isn't much of any interest, but I figured someone might want to read it, so here's the straight transcript. My favorite part is when they talk about the fourth Staal brother... Gummo.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.27.08
Guy Carbonneau has the Montreal Canadiens poised for a return to Stanley Cup glory.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.27.08
Our buddy Atlanta Frenchy Thrasher Guy called in to talk playoff races, the Patrick Roy fiasco, and no-touch icing. Jerry and I then tried to get through our Top 11 Actors list, but BlogTalk went loopy and ended the show early. Aw, that's just BlogTalk being BlogTalk.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.26.08
On Monday, Alexander Ovechkin and Bruce Boudreau held a conference call with NHL media. I didn't have a chance to write an article about it, so here's the complete transcript. And these are the real questions. No jokes. But you do learn some interesting things, like Ovechkin's obsessive man-love for Jarome Iginla and Boudreau's shocking ignorance of the word "validate."
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.25.08
Last week, I wrote about guys having vastly underappreciated 2007-08 seasons. This week, let's look at some of the more disappointing efforts. I don't want to say these guys underachieved, but the post office started sending them my mail by mistake.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.24.08
I have no idea what a Facebook is or what a Facebook does, but Ace Reporter Jim Iovino swears it's real popular with the kids. So if you'd like to join the LCS Hockey Facebook group, just follow that there link. And new articles are on the way. Honest.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.20.08
Among other topics discussed, our buddy Sean Leahy busted out his very own LCS Hockey Radio Show drinking game. Good times.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.19.08
It's been years, but LCS finally has a new drinking game. You're welcome.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.17.08
It's hard to believe the season's almost over. Time sure flies when you're insignificant. But before we gear up for the playoffs, I wanted to take a moment to mention a few guys having quietly spectacular seasons. All these players have gone above and beyond expectations in 2007-08. So, yeah, the list is completely free of Islanders.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.13.08
After talking hockey and some fantasy baseball, we closed things out with our Top 11 Overrated Movies. And Jerry's list is overrated. It sucks more than "Knocked Up." Seriously, watch the "No Country for Old Men." It's wicked good.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.11.08
One of our loyal readers attended the Pens-Caps game over the weekend and was kind enough to record some videos for everyone to enjoy.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.10.08
The Washington Capitals had a weekend they'd like to forget. Thankfully, that's why Don Knotts invented gin. Drink up, boys. And give Backstrom a double.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.09.08
Here's an update of the Radio Show's Top 11 lists, including Jerry's favorite albums. Funny, funny stuff. We should have another radio show this Wednesday at 9:30 PM EST, assuming Jerry gets back from Lilith Fair in time.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.07.08
There was all sorts of monkeyshine in the NHL last night. Here's a recap, including the Bruins getting clubbed again, the Royalty prolonging Ottawa's misery, and yet more hitting from behind.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.06.08
We talked hockey for nearly half the show, discussing Kid Crosby's return, Alexander Ovechkin trying to lead the league in goals and points, and my popularity among Daniel Alfredsson fans. Then Jerry and I did our Top 11 Albums. Matthew Secosky even called in to make fun of Jerry. And when you hear his list, you'll make fun of him too. Hootie, dude? Really?
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.05.08
The NHL held a conference call with Alexander Ovechkin yesterday. I didn't have time to write an article, so here's the complete transcript. And we'll talk more about Ovechkin, not to mention Kid Crosby and Peter Forsberg's return to action, on tonight's radio show.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.04.08
Ovechkin and the Caps crushed Boston last night, Bryan Murray gets busted for yappin', and the Avs get some bad news. But this just in: Kid Crosby is playing tonight in Tampa. Yeehaw!
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.03.08
The NHL held a conference call with Evgeni Malkin today. That's right. A conference call with Malkin. Thankfully, Sergei Gonchar was around to translate.
by Michael Menser Dell, Editor-in-Chief
03.03.08
Topics include Daniel Alfredsson once again proving the C on his sweater stands for something other than captain, Ian Laperriere respecting the game, and the emergence of Luca Caputi. Fear Caputi!
