6. I guess you wouldn't HAVE to.
But if you fall on Uranus, don't blame me.

Blame Clinton.

3. Ah, no, but I would in the NFL. I'm an old
fart and when I grew up we didn't have hockey.

4. How would I keep food on my family?
Besides I'd be all physically fucked up after a few games and then be poor and broken

5. At the very least, I want a dental plan
Bridge work is expensive.

7. Yes, but I would have to learn to skate first
Brawls with Republicans and Red Wings are merely added bonuses.:evilgrin:

(P.S. I'm wearing my Chris Pronger jersey right now:))

8. Only if I could be a "hockey goon".
I actually got recognized at the end of year Pee Wee Hockey League dinner for having served the most penalty minutes one year. Pee Wee hockey was fun!

10. No - but I would do it for less than the stars
Obviously, I would still need money to cover living expenses, a few luxuries, major health insurance (assuming it's not provided by the franchises... which is a shame imho for the minor-league players who are probably paid less than the average American).
