The staff here at Grilling It intend on keeping our promise of a bigger, better, badder (meaning gooder) flow of posts. I've had this mixtape for months and in a wintery drought neglected to share it.
The time is now, as the Stanley Cup finals pause for 24 hours and move to Steeltown USA (aka The birthplace of Clifford Heinrichs MAN OF STEEL THE ETERNAL PAPA H).
It is a conflict of youth vs defense, as the bright lights of iced sports are being thoroughly schooled at Osgood Hall (These are hockey references, read on).
It's a meditation on the game we love, by two of Winnipeg's finest. It involves an appearance on talk radio. You read that correctly, the action line. To all the new jack youngblood dj's...they will teach you haw to (publicity) stunt.
DJ CO-OP and DJ HUNNICUT - Hockey vs Rap
I gathered from the clips provided, the CJOB audience was overlooking the connection between criminal violence in service of self preservation in ghetto life, as a reaction to poverty, and the religion of violent sport in Canada, as a reaction to winter.

If hip-hop hasn't done anything for ya lately, or ever, or whatever...look at the next image and read on.
Resist the urge to skip, or not download the next song.
Hit Somebody (The Hockey Song) - Warren Zevon
"Zevon is famous for his ability to stay awake for as long as it takes -- often for 85 or 90 straight hours. "I wrote 'Hit Somebody in 75 hours,' " he said, "and look what happened to that one."
-Hunter S Thompson
Hunter's article linked below is as good an elegy for a friend and compadre as anyone could ever want.
Death of an American poet
By Hunter S. Thompson
I don't usually link to products, but here's a BARGAIN price for one of Hunter Thompson's best works:
Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness--Modern History from the Sports Desk (Hardcover)
I farmed this next video from Caps today. It's just one of those tubes worth watching. If it's boring, keep watching, something happens.
Jocks.
To finish.
Sam Seaborn.
Mad drama.
CC Defehr-esque moves.
