Take a Memo, Please
Dan Ryan
Thursday May 16, 2002
Memo to everyone: My new favorite Predator is Antonio "Mookie" Stanley. Just because he played at Bethune-Cookman and I work there has nothing to do with it. Really.
Memo to the guy who programs the music at Preds games: If you don`t play Lyrnyrd Skyrnrd`s "Sweet Home Alabama" by halftime, at least two other Guns-N-Roses songs other "Welcome to the Jungle, some Molly Hatchett, some Quiet Riot, not to mention some Naughty By Nature or anything else that used to rock the O-rena, I am going to buy some OPE stock and then do everything in my power to make sure they dump your sorry ass.
Memo to John Gregory: That Kannell guy is sitting on the bench. Put him in. Now.
Memo to Rev. Pickutt: Any time you want chicken wings, let me know.
Memo to the League Marketing Department: Why do the Toronto Phantoms have to wear the U.S. Army patch on their jersey? Uh fellas, CANADA IS ANOTHER COUNTRY!!
Memo to Eric Zeier: You can still get a refund from the David Caruso School of Career Decisions.
Memo to The Preds` Promotion Girl with the shrieking voice: Dillards is hiring. Just a thought.
Memo To The League Office: Great spin on the average attendance being up ten percent. Of course it is since the deadweight [read: Florida, Houston and Milwaukee] was dumped.
Memo to David Cool: Best wishes for the family.
Memo to Connell Maynor: Yes, you are the most underrated quarterback in league history.
Memo to Barry Wagner: Nobody here has missed you that much.
Memo to TNN: You may want to reconsider showing Orlando vs. Tampa Bay twice.
Memo to Preds Fans: Yeah, they might just be a bad team this year and the pre-game festivities have been watered down, but it’s still a pretty good party.
