This made me laugh…
On a day when I’m truly mourning the loss of Ryan Smyth, I caught this snippet from a USA Today article on Brett Hull that Paul Kukla posted on his excellent Kukla’s Korner blog:
“You need to have some sort of pregame or postgame show so we can sit down and talk about the trade deadline — or the Buffalo-Ottawa (brawl),†Hull says. “I have a lot to say. But in 20 seconds, you have to be some sort of English lit professor to do it with any style or bravado.â€
Uh, gee Brett, thanks for that. Well, um, I don’t know, I think most all of my students would tell you that, more often than not, it usually takes me more than 20 seconds to say… What? Time’s up?! Darn.
On a more serious note, Smyth deserved way, way better than this.

I don’t find any beauty in a fast speech. I was always irritated by people talking fast and loud. And interrupting one another. Good joke, though.
