I Plead Guilty To Three Counts Of Bandwagon Puckbunny-ness

Jump to Comments

All right, here’s the deal, I wrote this after the whole Bissinger & Leitch issue and was both inspired and a scosh ticked off. Everyone had given their opinions about the “controversy” so I didn’t really feel like adding in anymore. Bissinger seemed a little close-minded about blogging which was what concerned me the most (although, I will not deny FNL is grr-ate). I also held back as to not offend anyone because I’ve gotten a lot of “[insert player name here] girlfriend” searches lately. Then, Anne and M.J. had brought up the girlfriend sites and I’m ever so glad they did. So, this might be a little weird if you read it because I didn’t edit it to the present.

The other day I looked at one of those “Girlfriend sites.” I know, I’m a horrible two-timing blogger.

I can’t believe some of the stuff they obsess over. It’s both hilarious and sad. I would hope if they “love” the players so much, they’d at least spell their names correctly. Please, take the time to look up you’re future boy toy’s last name. It’s kind of important. 

But, I’m the guilty one for reading it so I’m not going to blast them. I’m assuming that’s a prime example of the reason people get so ticked off at Bloggers. I’m also guilty of doing the same sometimes, everyone is. Hey, I’m a female; I have no problem saying that I can be a bandwagon puckbunny ( I think. I’m not clear on the exact definition of puckbunny?) for some players. Boys + Hockey = Hot. That’s life and biology my friends. I’m also perfectly capable of writing serious blogs, but that’s not always fun. I never claimed to be a “serious sports journalist.” But I have a brain and I use it. I have a high school diploma and a college degree (and I’m not saying you’re not smart if you don’t have either). I know what I’m talking about. Hopefully people know the difference between when someone is serious and when they’re sarcastic. That is the downfall to the Internet. Emotion. There is none. People find pictures and video and run with it (a la Dion Phaneuf) People assume, people get mixed signals.

Anyways, my point is that this is the “technology generation.” Times are different, things are changing. The Buffalo News blogs for crying out loud! There’s good and bad, but that’s the future. I’ve debated this with my family on several occasions. 

Take the iPod for example, why doesn’t the iPod come with directions? We just flat out know how to work it. It’s like we were programmed to understand it (and Internet visuals save paper!). What about Texting vs. Calling? It’s faster and easier (if you know how to work it).

About the Girlfriend site, it is what it is. Much like the whiner line, it serves its purpose no matter how annoying it may be.

End Blog. Exclamation.

I love love love this Bucky Gleason article. Yeah, Bucky. That’s another thing I’ve been thinking about. Biron was always my favorite and I’m glad he’s doing well despite the fact he’s a Flyer. I finally decided to buy his jersey and he was traded. Cue me, gasping out loud in class when I got the update. Bad timing. And I won’t apologize for liking the teams and players I like.

 

So, what’s my sentence?
