Beers With Boss

If there's one thing the three of us love, it's arguing over inane things while consuming a few adult beverages. With that in mind, we've decided to institute a new feature "Beers With" where one idiot finds out what's on the mind of another (and yes, we did steal the name, we're not that creative.) So, the inaugural installment of "Beers With" features questions from Russianator and answers from Boss, a real live hockey fan. I decided to see what's on his mind and share it with you - enjoy - or hate it - whatever works for you.

Russianator: So tell me, do you still watch this sport called "hockey," and if so, what's going on this year?

Boss: Of course I still watch hockey, where do you think Versus (that’s the home of the NHL ya know) gets it .00008 ratings share from. The All-Star Game is this weekend and I can promise absolutely no transition defense or boxing out in front of the goal…sound familiar?

Russianator: Sticking with the hockey theme for a minute, tell our readers why the Hurricanes should move back to Hartford.

Boss: At the risk of causing a massive drop-off in readership, I’ll keep this answer short and light…but when I become commissioner of the NHL in 2012, I’ll have the Whalers back in Hartford within a year…Save the Whale! Aside, CNY in the NHL update: Erik Cole (Oswego, NY; Clarkson University) 11 goals and 21 assists so far this year, the effort is always there but we need more production from EC to make a run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Russianator: Mike Tomlin - is he a good coach or just an Omar Epps look a like?

Boss: Ummm I’d say Omar (why do parents do that to their kids) is Coach T look-a-like. Seriously, I think he did a solid job, he’s still young and it shows in his in-game management, but he replaced a legend in Pittsburgh and won the division…I’ll take that every year.

Russianator: Fill in the blank, if you were Jim Boeheim this year you would _______________ ?

Boss: Skip practice and make some home movies with Juli.

Russianator: Care to comment on Cedrick Wilson's girlfriend?

Boss: Cedric, may I suggest dating unarmed women.

Russianator: You make a deal with the devil and win the lottery and buy a football team, conditions of the deal stipulate that your only choices for a coach are Greg Robinson or Henry Winkler from The Waterboy - who you going with and why?

Boss: Now that would be idiotic deal to take (which is why I would take it) and I’d have to hire Coach Klein. While his motivational techniques are suspect and his knowledge of the game lacking, at least I’d always be assured of a table at Arnold’s.

Russianator: It's Sunday, you've got a 4 alarm hangover raging and football is about to start - what's your go to garbage food for a day of grazing?

Boss: Tough Q, there has been so much enjoyable grazing over the years that its difficult to narrow down to just one food item. I’m going with the Cheesesteak, but not one of those foolish Philly things with Cheez Whiz and onions. Who mixes Cheez Whiz with steak? I just don’t get that --- use some good Provolone already.

Programming Note - Due to the fact that I will be away on business all week, the posting may be a little slow as my work situation allows me to post more frequently than Boss and Champ - but I have a feeling they'll do just fine.
