best christmas present evah…2010 edition
Posted on December 25th, 2010 by peter k. o'connell, your friendly, neighborhood voice-over talent
As anyone will tell you who knows me, I am not a fan of the Sabres slug logo (above) which I hope has gone the way of the Edsel this season and forever more.
BUT I will proudly wear this jersey for a number of reasons:
1. I have never had a Buffalo Sabres jersey, even as a kid and they are my favorite local team…yeah, I AM a bigger Sabres fan than a Bills fan
2. I’m digging the bright yellow color which I think is a practice jersey color
3. The giver, my father-in-law, made me Captain (see the “C”)
4. The number 3 represents the three greatest gifts I EVER got and for whom this day will always be so enormously special
Being Captain of Team O’Connell is an honor in an of itself but to have a jersey just kinda makes it official and I like it.
Wear it well!
Yes the “C” is a big responsibility, Elaine.
Then there’s the issue of learning how to ice skate again! 🙂
Best always,
– Peter
