I guess the Comcast SportsNet Sports Awards went okay. Everybody with the March of Dimes (or MOD as I now call it) seemed to like the show and so did the honchos at Comcast, so that’s a good thing. I also received a lot of nice emails about the show from all of you, and especially from a lot of women saying that I’m hot. I don’t know how much you have to drink to think that, but should you really be drinking that much on a Monday night? I feel that Jim Thome and I bonded, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he and I are hanging out at the local Starbucks talking baseball this season. At least until the police arrive.

Chef Hans will be back in the studio with us Wednesday. I hope he had a chance to hear us talk with Adam Burish (good old number 37) of the Blackhawks on Tuesday morning. Adam is a great hockey player, a funny guy, and right out of Madison, Wisconsin. Chef loves it when I have hockey talk, and that was my first hockey talk segment with an active player since I came back into the Blackhawks fold. I remember talking to a lot of hockey players back in the day, but we were all drunk. Then there was the day Bob Probert wanted to fight. I still think I could have kicked his ass. Sadly, I had a plane to catch.

What was the point of the National Weather service cancelling the Winter Storm Warning for Tuesday morning? As it turns out, we got plenty of snow, but you probably already know that. I shoveled until I burned enough calories to burn off the two double cheeseburgers I got on the way home from the Comcast gig, and then went with the Toro. I had to go and get some gasoline for it, so I picked up a tank of propane and I have plans to hook up my flamethrower on Wednesday afternoon. There is an iceberg in my driveway from all of the plowing that would sink the Titanic. At least I’m getting some exercise.
