Ed Snider, chairman of the Philadelphia Flyers has always irritated the hell out of me. An uber-republican, he has contributed to John McCain, let the Republican National Convention camp out in the Wachovia Center (need to change that name again, huh Ed?) and now has perpetrated the biggest crime of all. Embracing Sarah Palin. That's right. That lipstick wearing pit bull will be dropping the puck at the Flyers home opener on Saturday. In addition, she will be joined by the "Ultimate Hockey Mom" contest winner on the ice. Everyone who enters the contest gets a free----wait for it----lipstick. I'm all for holding onto your analogies, but this is ridiculous. The name of the color you ask? "Puck-er Peach."
You know Flyers, we were just starting to work out our problems. My loyalty to you has been tested more times than I care to remember, and we even had that year off from each other to clear our heads. But, I thought we were on the same page. Now you go and do something like this. I just don't know how you expect me to take you seriously anymore.
By the way, if you want to read about some real hockey moms; you know, the one's who have sons who actually play hockey, read this. And, this.
Flyers, it's not a good start, but keep going.

At least if the Flyers start to lose the fans can through some Puck er Peach on the ice. It probably doesn't hurt as much as a battery.
Plus it's Philly, you know they'll boo her so try to look at the bright side!!
