So what did I do during the long Memorial Day weekend? Well, I did not think about Ryan Grant’s contract negotiations, I did not stop to consider whether or not Ted Thompson should make a trade for Jason Taylor, and I certainly did not worry about what the Packers organization should do with Brett Favre’s locker. In other words, it was three days of rest and relaxation, and here in Texas that can mean only one thing: brisket.

Oh sweet, glorious barbecued beef. Big ups to the grill master Josh for cooking up a big spread Saturday night for the first game of the Stanley Cup series. The sweet, succulent meat and icy cold beers not only hit the spot but also helped distract me as the mighty Penguins got their asses handed to them by the Detroit Red Wings. My goodness that was a beatdown.

Thankfully, though, the Pens were able to rally at home last night and start digging their way out of a 2-0 hole. If Pittsburgh is going to win it this year they’ll likely need all seven games to do it, and if the rest of the series is anything like last night there’s a lot of great hockey left to be seen.

I’m hoping there might still be some more of that brisket to go along with it.
