Hey... I Watch Other Sports, Too...

Why a spinoff?

Well, why not?

Actually, there are a few reasons why not. Like Joey, Phyllis, Valerie's Family...

Wait... I guess Valerie's Family wasn't so much a spinoff, as it was an attempt to keep a show going after losing the lead actress (in this case, Valerie Harper... I'm not sure why she left).

I just couldn't think of a third unsuccessful spinoff off the top of my head. Hey, wait, didn't one of the guys from Barney Miller get one?

But I digress....

Anyway, spinoffs don't always work. Joey, for instance, flopped horribly after the roaring success of Friends, and nine out of ten people reading this probably have no idea who the hell Phyllis is (it was a spinoff of Mary Tyler Moore).

No, I'm not that old. I just watched a lot of Nick At Nite after college, for some reason.

Anyway, the fact is, I watch sports other than hockey, and I also like to share my opinions on other stuff... but it would seem a little weird to put that stuff on my blog that is devoted to hockey. It confuses the brand.

I've done work in the past for other sites, first in hockey, then branched out into other stuff. However, I figured I'd just do this, be my own boss in another venture, publish when I feel like it and shamelessly cross-self-promote it when necessary.

I decided to do this because it's fun...

...oh, and I had something to say about Gene Smith, Urban Meyer and the Ohio State Buckeyes today.
