You know it is hot outside when, even at midnight, the bank clock thermometers still read 90 degrees plus. We were driving through downtown Nashville after Samantha returned from hanging out with a few of her friends from the political realm. I have enjoyed hearing her stories, but the thought of sitting outside in the [...]

So that is it. The Nashville Predators drop the deciding Game 6 to the visiting Chicago Blackhawks, ending their playoff run in an all-to-familiar date on the calendar: late April. The hockey club has proven very reliable at getting to the postseason, but only mildly effective at doing anything when they get there. Their first [...]

I tried my best to remain calm despite the crowds and the frequent violation of “personal space” by the spectators. It did not help that the rain had started to fall, and my only umbrella was in my car a little more than a mile away from where I was standing. They had come to [...]

The alarm had gone off two hours prior, but getting out of bed this morning was a chore and a half. We had watched and celebrated the Nashville Predators nab their first road playoff win over the Chicago Blackhawks late into the night before, and the older we get, the earlier our bedtime is supposed [...]

I personally am not all that big on practical jokes, although it is amusing to watch various examples of geek humor show up all over the Internet. The slapstick humor just does not appeal to me, which I guess is one of the reasons that I could not sit through 90 minutes of “Jackass: The [...]

I knew a bit about what I wanted to do: catch the pre-game festivities in front of the Sommet Center, possibly catch a bit of the UT/Florida game, pick up my hockey tickets and watch the Nashville Predators take on the Columbus Blue [...]

Saturday morning I got up and went to the Nashville Predators prospects camp at the Centennial Sportsplex. There was a fairly sizable crowd that had shown up to see therecent draft picks, junior and college hockey players. While few of the guys are well-known around Nashville, all are expected to have a very bright future [...]

The Nashville Predators ended their season moments ago with a 8-4 loss to the Minnesota Wild (two empty netters). The team will not make the postseason for the fifth consecutive time, a goal they had on their road map to bringing a Stanley Cup back to the Music City. Despite all of that, it was [...]

I listened in the game tonight as the Nashville Predators closed out their home schedule against the Chicago Blackhawks. It was a game with a lot on the line for the Predators as they try to keep pace with St. Louis and stay ahead of Minnesota and Edmonton in the standings. Through the first period, [...]
