...Common? (Sorry, I didn't realize the topic headers had a limit)

As a fan of both Game Shows and Hockey, this is pretty funny.

Details HERE!

Interesting use of the word "upset" in the headline. As with just about everything, Pat seems to be merely amused.

The by-line from Japersrink.com where I first saw the link read "Caps superfan Pat Sajak's rookie card loses a fair bit of value thanks to some scene-stealing guy in a bird shirt."

What does Pat Sajak and the Pittsburgh Penguins Sydney Crosby have in common?

Choose from the following:

1. They are unexciting
2. They are overrated
3. They are shoved down our throats by a hype machine to the point that nobody outside a certain area likes them
4. They are not as good as they think they are

So, I guess you're not a fan of that Crosby fellow, eh?

Don't be so subtle now...

I'm not terribly surprised. He's an Original Six guy, isn't he?

What I wanna know is what he has against Wheel of Fortune?

I guffaw'd.

/Sidney skates with his head down
//which means that either his career is going to be cut short in the same fashion as Paul Kariya's and Eric Lindros's
///or the league will make a rule to protect him, further pussifying the game of hockey
////I'm guessing the latter

I laughed because I got the joke, and it was worth it. Plus God save us from yet another Sidney Crysby reference.

Answer to the original question:

They both only work around 40 days a year.

It's actually a little jab at the fans of my beloved Red Wings. Despite the fact they win 4 cups in 12 years, the average Wings fan will tell you that the NHL fixed it so that Sidney could win a cup in 2009 to help with the marketing of his career. Personally, he's a fine player but he's a Fabrege egg on the ice.

And I think Pat Sajak is one of the most underrated hosting talents we have. It looks like he does nothing because he makes it seem like he's doing nothing.
