My Eulogy for the Predators has taken a bit of heat over at Yahoo!. It’s amazing to me how quickly some people manage to fly off of the handle. Sure, I exercised a bit of post-win shit-talking, but now these guys seem ready for a lynching. I mean, my remarks were pretty inflammatory, but all in good fun. Anyone that’s spent much time in Michigan can attest to the fact that there is little I attributed to southerners that can’t also be attributed to our brothers and sisters up in the great Mitt. I know the South tends to be a little sensitive at jabs from us yankees, which I find incredibly surprising, coming from a region that’s so historically tolerant. So, if I hurt your feelings, I’m sorry. I meant only to offend.

Yup, I sure do. I was asked to write a eulogy for Yahoo! Sports when the Predators were knocked out of the playoffs. Here it is. Much thanks to Greg Wyshynski for the opportunity.
