Welcome to the disclaimer. That’s right, the disclaimer!*

This one goes out to Notre Dame fans, those easily offended and the staff of ESPN 950…

We don’t really think Charlie Weis eats babies, nor did he eat any of our babies (if we had any, we’re all unmarried schmucks) at any time. The name came from a funny conversation cracking on a picture of Weis that was frontpaged at ESPN.com sometime last fall. Mr. Weis is a fine, upstanding individual and a hell of a football coach. The name is just funny. We don’t hate Notre Dame. … well, okay, maybe some of us do. But anyway, no need to be offended. If you want to be offended by your sports blogs I can make a couple recommendations. Now those dudes know offensive.

So anyway, thanks for the link from your blogs page ESPN950. It’s awesome you know who we are and felt us worth enough to let other Indy sports fans know about us. Personally I think you’re loads better than 1260AM (if only I could pick you up all the time on the north side.) But no need to be offended. Really. We’re nice people. Mostly. Just a little… off.

Alright enough of the esoteric and Indy-centric meta crap. How ’bout them Sabres? I’ve really been meaning to do more hockey blogging and will definitely pick it up as the rounds progress. From the games I’ve seen the Sabres look great, the Red Wings look good when their power play shows up, Sid The Kid fizzled in the first round and I really really want to see a Buffalo vs. Ottawa matchup next round since the bad blood between the teams earlier in the season. What’s better than a regular season goalie fight? A playoff one, of course.

Awesome. We need a disclaimer, not just a general apology.

We’re movin’ on up like George and Weezie!

Actually, “evil empire” cracks notwithstanding, I’m pretty much over my Notre Dame hatred, which I certainly had a great deal of in my college years.

The stereotypical Notre Dame fan on the other hand, is a source of pain and suffering in the sports world. No, 8-3 is not a bad season, and no, it does not mean you should fire your coach. And while I’m at it, “mystique” is completely irrelevant as to how good your football team is. But the fact that these idiots cheer for ND isn’t Charlie Weis or Brady Quinn’s fault, so I’ve learned not to blame the team itself for this problem. :-)
