The Bottom Line Thanks to the Puckman "Puckmugger" for getting our sporting juices flowing. Some need a Wet Nap for those juices, but that's another review.

1. What are your favorite sports to watch on television?
NHL hockey, football and women's billiards (if you don't know why, you need to catch it once)

1A. What sports do you loathe?
I don't understand why anyone likes Nascar. We are talking cars...racing in circles. So unless you own a belt buckle larger than a dinner plate, this is NOT a sport. I mean, Nascar's by-product is violent car crashes and death. I ask you this, how many Nascar fans have been repeat guests on Jerry Springer?

Baseball. To me, this sport is about as exciting as watching two flies boink on a drape. So unless we're talking about horse flies, forget it.

2. How often do you watch sports on television?
Each and every time NHL hockey is on... Double that since the lockout.

3. What are your favorite sports to watch live?
NHL hockey, my brother playing hockey, Co-ed Strip Twister championships live from my living room.

4. How many live sporting events do you typically attend annually?
Anywhere from 25-40 hockey games each season (Kings and Ducks)

5. What organized team sports have you ever participated in previously?
(in order) Flag football, basketball, hockey, baseball, darts, synchronized home remodeling (it's quite the ballet. You should see us work the magic)

6. What organized individual sports have you participated in previously?
Does video gaming count? Madden for PS2!!!!

7. What pick-up sports have you participated in previously?
Basketball, Hockey, mud football, and when I was a kid we made up a game called "Baskey." It was a cross between basketball and hockey on roller or ice skates. In other words - basketball on skates WITH CHECKING!

8. What sports or outdoor activities do you currently participate in?
Camping and dog hikes. Does video gaming count? We camped out in line for the release of the PS2. We had sleeping bags, a generator with a TV and PS2. Good times!

9. How often?
It depends on when she's horny. Oh wait, you meant how often do I go camping or on dog hikes? As often as I can.

10. Is there any sport that you wish you could participate in now?
Gawd, do I miss playing hockey.

11. What’s keeping you from doing it?
Old hockey injuries and age. Really, I can't afford to get hurt.

12. If your fairy godmother was going to give you all the skill and a job in pro sports, what sport would you play?
I would be the bestest damn defenseman the LA Kings ever had. Very few got by me. Yeah, better than Rob Blake or Gary Sergeant! LOL

13. What team and position (if relevant)?
I was a "stay-at-home" defenseman. Sometimes I was used on forward checking lines. Basically, I liked hitting people.

14. What beer would you promote as a sports celebrity? (OK, that was just to make certain Bruguru, Marty and Fuche participate)
Honestly, I have never had a beer, but if I had to promote one, I'd go with a Canadian beer. Molson or Moosehead.

15. What brand would you promote?
Either Nike, 'cuz I just do it or the maker of my favorite skates: Graf.

16. Do you have any sports heroes? Who are they and why are they your heros?
Gordie Howe. The guy was a machine who kept coming at you.
Bobby Orr. Injuries prevented him from being the best defenseman to play the game of hockey.
Rogie Vachon. My favorite goaltender of all time - too bad his teams SUCKED.
Tony Esposito. One of the best goalies to ever play the game and the first lefty I marveled at - even more than Mike Palmateer. (That was for you Puckmugger)
Brad Park. Another amazing defenseman who played the game the way the game was meant to be played.
Gerry Cheevers. I loved that he used to draw stitches on his face mask when he got hit in the mask with a puck.
Dick Butkus. What an grid iron animal.
Lynn Swan. His magic hands, amazing acrobatics and longevity made him golden.

17. If you could invent a new sport, no matter how absurd, what would it be?
Well, I wish my childhood game "Baskey" would go pro. Co- ed tag-team strip Twister might be fun too.
