he got interviewed down in Jacksonville yesterday....
"Oh man Harlem is in tears right now. Everyone's walking around in a daze. I remember as a kid we used to play pick-up games of street hockey every day. It was just a magical time..."

95% of his jokes are like this.
Whats your point?
He's not that funny and he regurgitates his jokes. I'm tired all most black comedians making fun of white people. It's old and tired. Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryer did it and at the time it was hilarious because of the time periods. Now it's hardly original and perpetuates stereotypes that aren't really good. I'd like him if he expanded his horizons and spoke not just about what black people do. Maybe world issues, government, movies....etc. Even world issues he'll turn into something about black people. "Osama Bin Laden....Now if that guy was black..here is what would happen..."

ESPN polled people around the country if they missed hockey. A majority of those polled in all 50 states said no. I think Michigan was the closest to having a majority of people that missed hockey with 42% saying they would. It's pretty sad actually.

Hockey has always been a niche sport in America. Canada is just drinking themselves into a nine month stupor this winter however.

Actually, a majority of hockey fans here in Canada don't really care about the NHL lockout (I can't remember what the actual figures are): there is still plenty of hockey, at other levels, to be enjoyed here.

I missed the NHL at the beginning of the lock-out, but now I really don't. If we didn't have a minor league in town, I would more than likely say otherwise.

Find something else to talk about.
I am going to have to agree with you on this one. He pretty much sticks to the "black vs white" jokes. Which is bullshit, because if a white comic stared saying "blacks do this" etc, he would be viewed as a racist.
