February Is a Really Slow Sports Month, as Proved By Chris Kunitz and Eric Tangradi
↵
↵How could this be? No disrespect to the NHL, but of all the things people could be searching for today -- 800-pound stingrays or 1.3-ton sharks, for example -- Chris Kunitz and Eric Tangradi are one and two. They weren’t even arrested for DUI or got caught in some sort of Erin (pageviews) Andrews (pageviews) love triangle. No, they were simply involved in a trade between the Ducks and Penguins. That’s it. A trade. In hockey. ↵↵Perhaps this is the secret to why February is the shortest of all the months: so that we can move onto March as quickly as possible. Calendar, we thank thee for having mercy on our sports-loving souls. ↵
↵↵We heart you hockey but you’re no “betty davis eyes.” Love, TSB. ↵
↵↵(What’s that? You think we used their names in the headline just to get in on some of this sweet Google search action? How dare you.) ↵
