Winter Classic Archives

Its winter time and there’s snow on the ground, which means that its time for the time honored tradition of sledding down hills in wooden or plastic sleds by people who have no business doing so…and thus sledding accidents. I’ve been searchin the interwebs (or just Break.com) for a few good ones and I couldnt decide which one i liked, so I’m sticking them all up there. To save front page space, i’m just going to stick the rest after the jump. If you are bored and need to get some joy out of the physical pain of others…well enjoy…sickos.

You Too Can Skate At Wrigley Field

I’m not much of an ice skater, the few times I have gone I’ve ended up on my ass more often than not, but this is just pretty cool. Wrigley Field is installing a hockey rink for the Winter Classic, a hockey game featuring the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings on Jan. 1 and it is opening the rink up to the public to skate on January 4th for the low low price of $10.

The odds of ever getting to be on the field of Wrigley are pretty slim for normal joes and joettes, so this might just be the one chance people can have to get onto it, even if it is completely covered in ice. I am not even a Cubs fan but I would love to say that I fell and chipped a tooth on the field of Wrigley Field after faceplanting on the ice.
