I’ve never understand the interest in lax, like, at all. It basically strips hockey off all its fun and interesting components and combines all of its most boring elements.But apparently, I’m in the minority on this one because the Washington Post has decided the sport is important enough to warrant its own blog. It’s called The Fastest Blog on 2 Feet which means absolutely nothing to me and, really, makes no sense and includes such interesting tidbits as this one, which I lazily stole from the latest post on the site:Frankly, this argument is as tired as the Duke fifth-year thing. To paraphrase the late author Raymond Chandler, I don’t yell at people who can’t hear me The NCAA says Duke gets a fifth year My editor says to use Foxborough. That’s enough for me.Anyway, there was a barbeque for the participating teams and some media last night at the stadium.

Apparently, Bill Belichick spoke at the barbeque and eschewed his normal attire and wore a pink tie.Duuude, I know! Duke and their fucking five years Who gets a fifth year? I mean, seriously Bullshit, man Fucking bullshit. Pink ties are the balls though, brah.*By “new” I mean “new to me.” I’ve been told this blog is a couple months old.

My question would have been does he think that the Islanders will continue with the “Blog Box?”Someone else beat me to the punch and asked the same question.Botta’s response, (in summary), was that he not only thinks that they will continue with the innovative idea, but they will probably expand it. That’s great news for Islanders’ fans and their citizen journalists.The rebirth of “NYI Point Blank” gives the ex-PR guy the perfect opportunity to throw his old employer under the bus, but so far he has not done so.He’s had nothing but positive things to say about owner Charles Wang and GM Garth Snow.Which leads to yet another question, although quite personal.

"The underproduction in most of the plants, coupled with ageneral fall in prices has had a major impact on the margins,"the group said in a statement. It added that it saw no signs of economic conditionsimproving and was therefore considering reducing its productioncapacity in the business groups most affected. The drop in profits was most marked in its chemicals unit,where the market for potassium fertilisers had almost come to astandstill and where some rises in raw materials prices couldnot be passed on to customers, Tessenderlo said.
