Go Preds!

The inimitable John Hutcheson has a hilarious post urging Nashvillians to patronize Predators hockey while also lamenting the prevalence of a certain vulgarity shouted frequently throughout the game by people who probably, given the price of many of the tickets, work respectable jobs during the day. The Oracle used to tell his son that the crowd was saying "socks," but he is now old enough to know better. In fact, he likely never believed it in the first place.

In spite of that and other atrocities that Hutcheson aptly describes, The Oracle also would say that if any reader has not been to a Predators game, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. Perhaps you will see me there tomorrow night -- with the new girlfriend!

Keep the "kiss cam" away, though.
