Seriously, is there a worse group of people to piss off than firefighters? These are brave souls who could save you from harm, and do it for way less than they should be paid! Yet still, some hooligans find it hard to resist to try and stirr up trouble.
A bench clearing brawl and a funny Jumbotron shot--celebrating the first weekend of the NHL season! Except the brawl wasn't in an NHL arena. It was in Rockford with the Griffins involved! The highest scoring game in 4 seasons and a penalty-filled bench clearing brawl gave the fans in attendance something else to cheer for besides goals and free t-shirts!
If you are taking in a Griffins game anytime soon, you will once again be enjoying the "Best Minor League Hockey Experience" in the country as voted by Stadium Journey.com. The sport stadium ranking review website named Van Andel Arena, for the second straight year, the best minor league Hockey venue in the US!
The whole WFGR staff is getting in on this one! Matt and I started talking about this yesterday. Conrad Bain from "Diff'rent Strokes" died Monday, and we started talking about babes from other 80's shows--mostly Facts of Life. I thought Blair and Tootie we're cute. And then Andy and Dave were talking about it as well.
Have to say, Channel 13's Facebook post pretty much sums it up for me. "Never would have guessed that Mrs. Garrett would have outlived them all! RIP, Mr. Drummond" Conrad Bain, who also starred on Maude in the 1970's, passed away yesterday in California. He was 89.
Like some kids, I had a job during college. I was lucky enough to work at a radio station while I was in school to make some extra cash. SI had grants and loans to actually pay for school however. Some kids of course have to pay for their own college. But this is 2013. Kids around MSU and UofM have found a new, more creative way to get their tuition taken care of.

Today is National Hat Day. Why I'm not sure. But it is. And the good folks at Arby's want you to help them make the 10 gallon hat "America's Only National Hat" Some might remember that all Arby's used to have the 10 Gallon hat sign as their logo outside most locations. I still remember the old sign at the South Westnedge Arby's in Portage...all lit up and cool. Some places still have the old Arby's signs.
So every once in awhile our Facebook page gets a great post from one of our friends with a question or a comment about WFGR. Over the weekend, Melanie Shebel posted a link to her blog about Michigan Accents and Michigander Slang. And I read it. And not only is it dead on, it's pretty funny too!
The Red Wings official schedule was announced yesterday! NHL hockey is back! Yay! The Griffins and college is great, don't get me wrong, but the NHL is the NHL. Next thing the league needs to do--Fire Bettman!
Cluck and 15 other sports, food and product mascots were at the Griffin annual "Mascot Night" Saturday night at Van Andel. The Griffs lost in overtime, but fun was had by all!
I always thought since I have dark brown eyes that meant I was full of....Well you know. But I'm way off. A new study by Charles University in Prague shows that "Brown eyed people 'more trustworthy' but its not for the reason you think. The color has really nothing to do with your trustworthiness.
