You know what was fun? That time before working full time and going to law school full time consumed my life and I had time to do things like write a blog. Remember those days? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Anywho.
Mike and I have once again drafted a joint Sin Bin fantasy football team to agonize and get frustrated over. We're going to break down our picks round by round, with the best and worst case scenarios for both. So without further ado (unless you consider the jump "ado") we present to you our team....

Sin Bin Fantasy Football Draft 2012: A Pick by Pick Insight
As those of you who listened to our show know, our 2011-2012 team "All Along the Hightower" had a pretty successful season (FRED JACKSON!!), going 8-5 and losing in a close championship game. We weathered the storm of the dynamic 1st and 2nd round picks of Chris Johnson and Knowshown Moreno (again....FRED JACKSON!!!). But Mike and I were so very, very excited about Johnson and Moreno when we drafted them. So we thought it might be fun to keep some live notes during our draft this year. After the jump we'll have our (mostly) live notes of this year's draft.

The 7 Athletes You Want to Have Your Back in a Bar Fight
Floating around the internet is this article about what athletes you want on your side in a bar fight. There appears to be no creativity to the list. The article literally could not be more obvious (Ray Lewis and OJ? Of course you want to be fighting WITH the murderers, not AGAINST them).
In my opinion, you're looking for some combination of these personality types on your side in a bar fight:
After the jump, we put some thought into it and came up with the following players who you want with you when you have one Four Horseman too many (which would be one) and start screaming out the lyrics to Piano Man at the top of your lungs. Not that said scenario has ever happened to any radio show hosts. Enjoy.
In my opinion, you're looking for some combination of these personality types on your side in a bar fight:
- Badass
- Wins at all costs (translation: fights dirty)
- Bat shit crazy

Hurricanes Guardian; Wind control isn't the only reason it blows.
Today we look at the Hartford Whalers Carolina Hurricanes' Guardian. Since Stan Lee and his team at Marvel have been so creative in making their characters, I'm sure he was going to come up with something completely innovative, original, and awesome, and NOT just crank The Scorpions "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and draw a generic picture of some guy crapping a tornado. Oh wait, that's exactly what he did:
I can hear the German hair metal now

Blackhawks Guardian: Ripoff in the Windy City
Today's Guardian recap is going to touch on the Chicago Blackhawks, and the wonders that Stan Lee's team came up with. Ok look, we knew it was going to have to have something to do with wind. I mean, with the Chicago Blackhawks you basically have four choices:
- Wind
- Mobsters
- Michael Jordan
25 or 6 to 4(wrong Chicago)

The King Guardian Released; Makes Strong Case for Regicide.
The second of the 30 NHL Guardians was released last week, and the fans decided they wanted to see what Stan Lee's crackhead crackshot team came up with. I too, was curious. After all, the idea of a king has many possibilities. History is littered with superheroes, literary characters, high school bands, video games, and movies based on kings in one way, shape or form.
Thankfully they're not all as creepy as this one.
Not to mention, the city of Los Angeles offers some possibilities as well. After all, it literally translates to "City of Angels" so there's opportunity there as well (as long as they keep Nicolas Cage out of things). So naturally, my interest was piqued. This is what they came up with:

NHL Superheroes---Now with Real Plagiarism!!
So in what is sure to be one of the top nominees for the "Who the Hell Saw That Coming" Awards, the NHL has entered into a partnership with Marvel demigod Stan Lee (Stan Lee...Stanley Cup? Coincidence?) to create superheroes for every NHL team, codenamed The Guardian Project. I kind of see where they're going with this. For many sports teams, a mascot can be a fan favorite. As an Islanders fan, I can't tell you how much Sparky merchandise the Islanders sell, and how many kids in the stands could not care less about the game and spend the entire time looking for that damn six foot dragon.
Not to be confused with Chasing the Dragon
Still, it seems like an odd partnership. Most of the time when you picture your average comic book reader and your average hockey fan, you don't exactly get the same image. I mean, could you see Chris Pronger walking into a comic book store to pick up the latest Spiderman? (answer: no, because that would imply that Chris Pronger has the ability to read).
