Rocco, the best sport being hockey? Yeah, that sport is an up and comer. Getting more popular every day. They need to move it back to Canada where it belongs, and take Wayne Gretzky with you. The NFL should buy the cup and use it from now on.

Ape’s real plan is to buy the Steelers, collect some of Hines Ward’s DNA (I don’t want to know how), and clone a horde of super Korean-African-American football players to dominate the NFL for generations to come. Nah, that’s too obvious.

Hey, know what’s worse than people indignant over the firing of someone over their hobby?

@Gern: No fuckin’ way. The best trophy in sports belongs to the best sport. Keep your lame ass silver football. Stupid sport anyway.

To answer your question: No, not a publicity stunt. The change to a different address was a function of us getting a paid deal, which is why I choose to out myself in the blog. I figured that if we’re getting paid to take shots at other writers (Simmons, Peter King, etc.) it was only right to have my identity out there and not hiding behind a blogger name. The spirit of full disclosure was something The Post was supposed to respect. I guess not.

Well the theory that this whole fiasco is a grand publicity stunt has crossed my mind due to the fact that there was a change-over to a different URL, though I would hope that a site which has offered a shared sense of community would not be acting in such a manner.
Even if they were the act actually does nothing to infringe upon the sensibilities of the average reader of KSK and the charade would actually serves to expand the experience of the readership of the site. If the KSK staff were making enough revenue at this site to allow for a more free time, the quality and frequency of the pieces would reasonably increase. Furthermore, given the expanded traffic to the website, there is more opportunity for the individual commenter to feel connected to the larger KSK community. That notion of course would be contingent upon the lack of destructive forces that attempt to discredit the sites credibility. But on the other hand, the publicity from the criticism would still serve the KSK.

I put far too much thought into that.

Is there some way for the NFL to steal the Stanley Cup and use it for the champs? But leave all the previous hockey names on it, that would be kickass.
