To all my loyal readers sorry I have not been writing about the beloved Tomcats but I have been covering this other league called the NHL and I had be do some stuff on the NFL, I’ve been doing that since Howard Cossell died, I hope to be rid of that gig soon, they don’t let you celebrate a touchdown in that league, Dumb!
Anyway, I was in the press box on Tuesday and watched the game between the Snow Squalls and the Stevo Stingrays, when the buzzer had gone and then Tomcat favourite, Snowpants scored a goal. There was somewhat of an uproar, as the Snow Squalls had difficulty scoring goals, so you can see where they wanted to protest. Well Snowpants gets a towel and pretends he is reviewing the play, now I am sitting there watching this, thinking ‘OH MY GOD THIS IS FUNNY’. I fall off my seat laughing, then he goes and makes an announcement, “After further review…….” I’m crying now……all of us are laughing, the guys from the Globe and Mail, Eric Dahutschek and David Shoalts, Toronto Sun Steve Simmons, Toronto Star Damien Cox, the NFL reporter Pam Oliver, who I just love, was there laughing and smiling her beautiful smile. “Who is this guy?” Says Ron McLean of Hockey Night in Canada, he is funny we got to get him on with Don Cherry.
Well let me tell you, the rest of the night, all we talked about, up in the press box, was Snowpants. He has the same birthday as Sammy Hager and he loves Tequila. Sure the glory guys, with their large contracts and their trophy wives are out there on the Kapusta Kow Palace floor playing a sport they love in front of fans that adore and love them, but man oh man, sometimes just sitting up in the press box, having a good chuckle and it is where you want to be.
Like Hollywood says, ‘There are no Pants like Snowpants like any pants I know’.
Get yourself a press pass and come on up and Heywood Jewblowmee.
