Landon Ferraro's Nickname

Landon Ferraro.  Son of a pretty good hockey player.  Tarik thinks Landon could be coming to DC.  Of course, that could be the usual McPhee disinformation.  But one thing is sure -- Ray Ferraro sure gave his son a funny name.  

Ray Ferraro was "The Big Ball Of Hate" -- a nickname Glen Healy gave him and one of the best nicknames of all time.  His son needs a good nickname too.  The possibilities are nearly endless....

I thought Pat Verbeek the little ball of hate, and Ray was “Chicken Parm”?

Because now I can justify browsing and commenting during the work day with the argument that I am promoting my business.

To that end, I saw someone toss “Chicken Marsala” out there for Landon.

That jives with what I remember as well, Sombrero. Besides, I’ve already laid claim to “Cloud City”… LOL!

I’m too frazzled to think of a cool diminuitive for Chicken Parm, Sbarro’s just doesn’t cut it and Bruschetta gets mispronounced all over the place.

I hope medical science can stop wasting time on cancer and other over-hyped illnesses (kidding!!!) and prevent him from suffering his father’s male-pattern baldness!

Gotta stay away from any Lando Calrissean tie-ins too. Remember, he sold all his friends out to the Empire! What happens in the room, stays in the room Ferraro!

Yeah, but he made up for it by blowing up the Death Star with a frog as his copilot

And it wasn’t his fault!? They had a deal and there was still time to save HA…. HA…. HAN.

You may recall that after signing with the Caps this summer but before reporting to training camp in September, BMo took a trip to the Canadian wilderness for charity. 
 


Despite the "mosquitos as big as seagulls", the participants all survived and emerged from the woods to a tasty homestyle Hornpayne feast.

There's a lot more Brad May and Kris King than #9 in this clip, but we get a little flavor of how the Caps' second line center spent his summer vacation.
