We Kick Ball...

Over the last few months we've received a few emails letting us know that we don't have enough football content here at Waikiki Hockey.

Isn't there enough football news out there already? I believe ESPN only shows NFL-related news now, so if you're looking for gridiron videos maybe turn on ESPN. However, our readers are always right so we thought it might time for a football related post.

One of our biggest NFL related posts was Super Bowl Shudder. Today we're going to show you some more NFL inspired music. The classic "We Are The Kickers":

This 'song' is from a 1987 episode of 'Saturday Night Live' hosted by Walter Payton. What was with SNL in the late 80's? Based on this song and our namesake 'Waikiki Hockey' they obviously had problems writing a decent song. Not to worry ... judging by one recent example SNL's song writing skills have increased dramatically:

Yes! We got 'Dick in a Box' into a sports post. It was a pretty big stretch, but we made it.

It's hard to believe but 'We Are The Kickers' isn't the only song about kickers. One of Adam Sandler's crappiest songs is also about kickers; The Lonesome Kicker. Alright that's the last we'll ever talk about kickers. We promise.

The Price is Wrong Bitch...

Up until this week, if somebody said 'Price and Right' and Hockey you would have thought of this classic clip from 'Happy Gilmore':

(Adam Sandler made a guest appearance on the show to promote the movie when it came out in 1992. Go to the two minute mark to see Sandler cavorting with the Price is Right beauties. )

But now we have another Price is Right hockey moment courtesy of the LA Kings:

With this promotion LA looks to capitalize on the valuable game show demographic.
Some of the King's best players (Dustin Brown, Denis Gauthier, Derek Armstrong, and Kyle Calder) showed up ... showing us how bad the Kings will be this year.

It's not 'Happy Gilmore' but second place isn't bad!
