What I Did On My Summer Vacation: Screw You Mrs. Abbott

You're Dialed In with JQ

I don’t know about any of you poor bastards, but I feel as if my mind has been on overload all summer. It’s been so chaotic that I just realized it’s almost October and I pooped myself a little. Think about the summer and ask yourself: Where the fuck did it go? I’ll tell you where it went; it went right down the crapper. Most of it was probably spent in front of the television and can you really blame me?

Hockey playoffs and the Stanley Cup go deep into June. Then I had couple weeks of freedom that were spent on my favorite barstool at the Hound getting splinters in my ass from laughing my ass off and occasionally falling off the damn thing. Then it started, the mother fucking Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Holy mother Mary of God my eyeballs were bleeding by the end of it all. Between the opening ceremonies to the time they finally turn off the flame, I spent in front of the TV. Yes I watched everything from Michael Phelps and his crazy fucking mother, to the women’s Vagina ping-pong ball contest on the Great Wall. I watched our Commander and Chief check out the cleavage on our women’s beach volleyball team. For Christ’s sake I watched the speed walking event. That’s right kids; if you can walk you can be a mother fucking Olympian. How’s that for having a “dream”. “Mommy when I grow up I’m going to walk in the Olympics”. Can you imagine the utter shame those parents must feel? Your child can walk. Congrat-u-fucking-lations. Here’s a pistol. End it all now why don’t you. So the fucking Olympics. I loved every moment of it.




Then it happened. Barack Obama came to Denver and rocked this joint like it was Woodstock. Except it was more like the “Black Woodstock”. Now don’t’ get me wrong, I love all my fellow man and woman, but shit I didn’t know Colorado had that many black people. It was awesome. Downtown Denver looked as if it had thrown up on itself and the vomit was political propaganda. It was sweet. I got a shirt that says, “Obama is my DJ.” I have no fucking idea what that is supposed to mean but it was cool anyways and I’ll wear it on Election Day. I didn’t see Oprah and I’m a little pissed off because how could you miss her? In fact I didn’t see any of the “celebrities” that were down here. But I’ll tell you what if Brittany and Paris tell me to vote for Obama then he’s got my vote. I mean those are two really retarded people and if even they know that McCain is a lousy candidate than I must be doing something right. Minneapolis got to host the RNC. Poor fucking bastards. I think that pretty much sums that up. So we’ve got two months before the big day. Will we have the first ever-black president or will it just be another retard that will end up fucking us all? Aren’t you excited?

And now here I sit. Thinking about how I spent my “summer vacation”. Did I go camping? Take a vacation? Road Trip? Sit at the pool? Any of the fun things I did as a kid. The answer is NO. And I think that it’s fucking bullshit! I don’t want to play anymore. I feel like taking my ball and going home. On a lighter note, I did see Foo Fighters play both nights at Red Rocks and it was fucking awesome.



So that’s what I did on my summer vacation, and shit on me if it wasn’t pretty fucking memorable.

Drop The Gloves




















You're Dialed In with JQ

Tonight is Game 5 of the Colorado Avalanche/Minnesota Wild (still a gay name) series. 3 of the 4 games that have been played so far have gone into overtime periods. The Wild, lucky bastards, have won 2 of those games. The Av's won the first game and dominated Game 4, destroying the Wild (still gay) 5-1. But really, this series could/should be over. The Wild (gay) have had several lucky bounces and goals that ended up winning them a few games. But tonight we go back to Minnesota (not gay) where the Wild (gay) will no doubt fall on their fat (gay) asses and find them selves coming back to Denver down 3-2 in the series.

There really isn't much more I can say other than I'm guaranteeing a Avalanche victory tonight. And a healthy victory is shall be. I'm gonna say 4-1. No overtime for the Wild (gay) tonight. Just a total ass stomping. Paul Stasny will have 1 goal and 2 assists tonight.

So grab a sixer of your favorite beer, put on your gear, turn the TV up real loud, and get ready for another great game. The puck drops @ 7 p.m. and the ass-whooping will start @ 7:01 p.m.

Avalanche Making Run At Playoffs

You're Dialed In with JQ

Dear Readers,

For those of you that doubted me, all I have to say is.....I told ya so.


The Colorado Avalanche have put up an impressive 9-2-1 record since the end of February. Now even I'll admit that I was a little scared after a horrible loss to the Red Wings on 2/18. It really looked like we were a sunk ship. Then the trade deadline came along and we added some much needed depth, talent, and heart to our team. The addition of Denver favorites Peter Forsberg and Adam Foote really boosted our team with confidence and put the "kibosh" on a sinking morale. Ruslan Salei, a defense man we picked up from the Florida Panthers, may have been one of the best trades this season. Even though it was quietly done, and over shadowed by the Brad Richardson (to Dallas) and Marian Hossa (Pittsburgh Penguins) trades, he stepped out on to the ice and gave us power size and a surprisingly good shot from the blue line.

Now the injury bug has still been biting us in the ass. Ryan Smyth and Marek Svatos were both hurt in a game against the L.A. Kings. Svatos tearing up his knee and Smyth getting checked into the half boards and suffering a concussion. Svatos is done for the season, but Smyth should be back in the line up maybe as soon as Saturday when the New Jersey Devils step back into the Pepsi Center to only have their asses handed to them once again. Other injuries to Scott "The Sheriff" Parker, Jordan Leopold, Adam Foote, and Peter Forsberg have shortened our lines a bit, but Captain Joe Sakic and the other assistant captains have really kept the team on a roll.

With 10 games left in the season, the Av's finally reclaimed their rightful spot at the top of our division. And with all the remaining games, except for the Devils on 3/15, being against division rivals every point is going to count. So if you weren't on board before, pretend you were and start cheering on my boys. The playoffs are right around the corner and I'm smelling blood in the air. Stay Dialed In

The Streak Begins


You're Dialed In with JQ


Where do I even start? Well it would be totally unlike me if I didn't mention the Avalanche. Last night we played the division leading Calgary Flames. It was especially memorable since we got to see Adam Foote back where he belongs.....in a Av's sweater. The boys played with a hop in their step that we haven't seen in the last few weeks. Even being down by a goal late in the 3rd period didn't seem to slow down the Av's much. The physical battles were won against the boards, Jose Theodore played really well again only allowing 2 goals, and our offense was alive and kicking. Finally there was heart. Finally there was purpose. Finally there was a solid win against a good team and division rival.

The only downside of the game was that it went into overtime assuring the Flames of at least 1 point. Paul Stastny once again played a stellar game and proved that he is one of our most valuable players, scoring the overtime game winner. So although we only gain 1 point on Calgary, we gained 2 on everyone else. We're climbing the ladder and very soon, possibly tonight, we'll be back in a playoff spot. For those of you that remember last year, the Av's went on one of the best late season streaks we've seen in a long time. Winning 15 of a possible 17 if memory serves me right. Only to come up short by one point and miss the playoffs for the first time in Avalanche franchise history. Well, I'm predicting it right now. With less than 20 games left, I'm going to say that the Av's win at least 14 games. How can I make such a bold prediction you ask. I'll tell you. I'm a believer. Only time will tell. So stay dialed in.

Return to Greatness Pt. 2


It's been a very exciting few days here in the Mile High City of Denver. Super Joe, Paul, and Ryan all healthy and then BOOM!!! Here comes Peter "The Great" Forsberg back to wear good 'ol number 21 for the Av's. With less than 2 hours left in the trade deadline the Colorado Avalanche once again proved why they may have one of the best management teams ever. We recently just brought back another former Avalanche, fan favorite, and all around best defense man money can buy. Put your hands together and get ready to pound the boards baby because ADAM FOOTE is back in Denver wearing #52 for us once again. The Av's of old are upon us once again and ready to kick ass and take names. Avalanche fans put your hands together, stomp your feet, and yell your damn head off because if you didn't think we were back yesterday, WE SURE THE HELL ARE BACK TODAY!!!!! The trade deadline ends at 1pm MST and Rob Blake is still on the blocks, so we'll see. I could be writing a bit more today than I had planned. GO AV'S!!!!!!!!!!

Return to Greatness



About 30 minutes ago the Colorado Avalanche, correction, MY Colorado Avalanche signed Peter Forsberg to once again be an Avalanche. I can't tell you how excited the city of Denver is over this recent acquisition. "Peter the Great" will no doubt get our fans fired back up and get the blood pumping in the hearts of the Av's, who recently have been coming up short in the heart department. Even with the long awaited return of our Big 3 S men, Sakic, Stasny, and Smyth, the addition of "Foppa" will no doubt add that missing ingredient to our club. So look out Northwest Division, because you are about to witness another great streak that will NO DOUBT put my boys back into the playoffs. And if you've never seen Forsberg play, trust me, buy tickets to the next home game and you'll see why Super Joe Sakic is SUPER JOE and why Peter the Great is PETER THE MOTHER FUCKING GREAT!!!!! GO AV'S!!!!!!!!!

Red Assholes Vs. My Boys

Tonight we play the Red Wings again. Though we've yet to beat them this year, we've also played some of our best hockey against Detroit. Just haven't been able to find the back of the net. The Wings are on a 6 game losing streak and my boys are on a 3 game streak. So pull your shit together people and think positive thoughts. I'll try and bring back some quality pics. Give 'em Hell Boys!
