Great article on SI.com about the Circus-Landers. You just can't make this stuff up:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mul...content.1.html

The best part is that there is very little opinion or editorial content, it's all just true history...and it's priceless. Now you know why I say they should be playing in a circus tent instead of a Mausoleum.

We're talking about a franchise with a long history of crooks (Spanos and Kumar) as owners, and total buffoons (Maloney, Milbury and Snow) as GM's. And everybody that gets traded to the Joke-Landers weeps at the thought of playing for them...

Totally hysterical. Pretty soon we'll see slide 28 added, where Wade Dubliewicz changes his mind about leaving for a team in Russia and is named head coach. Backup goaltender for the Fishies is obviously the fast track to a management position.

In my quest for fair and honest reporting, I'm going to put together my own story about the not-quite-as-hysterical management of the Rangers by one Glen Sather. It's too late now, but trust me, I've got ammunition in abundance. It's not as amazing as the Stupid-Landers' 25 years of jocularity, but it matters more because he's doing it to the New York Rangers.

The good news is, Sather is getting old and will retire, hopefully soon. Wang and Snow are young, and probably have another 25 years of lunacy ahead of them.

I guess you did take my advice. I recommended this article to you, and it clicked.

I remember Spano (no s, BTW) being a crook and getting sentenced, but I never knew Kumar was. What did he do- get busted for going to White Castle with Harold?

A list that now includes a player you probably used to cheer and I always respected- Doug Weight.



From a rugged an d respected leader of the mightry Oilers to the Moron-landers. How the mighty have fallen.

I think he's not THAT stupid. At least he'll be going to a team with stability.

Are you referring to the 'Big Bucks' Rangers of Lindros, Bure, Messier coming-and-going, Theo Fleury, and a string of mediocre goalies after Richter and before the object of your lust and affection?

At least Sather's place in history will be a positive one, with all his legendary achievements in Edmonton.

As for Snow... well, he'll always have those ginormous goalie pads.

Cleveland's good for a few laughs itself.
