Adam Hall (MSU) and Paul Kariya (Maine)

What do they have to do with each other? Nothing, I just didn't feel like making two separate threads for their articles. :)

I don't care for Paul Kariya, but I thought this was funny: http://espn.go.com/talent/danpatrick/s/2003/0109/1490025.html

Very nice article about Hall's rookie year in Nashville: http://www.tennessean.com/sports/predators/archives/03/02/28390269.shtml?Element_ID=28390269

CLASSIC:

PK: Hey, I know guys who went to Harvard, and they said it was a joke.
DP: As far as their education?
PK: Yeah. If you take rinky-dink courses at Harvard, you're going to get the same education as you do if you take rinky-dink courses at Maine. Basket weaving is basket weaving. It doesn't matter where you take it.

ALso funny:

DP: Hockey players love to have the flowing mane coming out of their helmet, don't they?
PK: Some do.
DP: What is it called? A mullet? Did you ever have a mullet?
PK: Yeah. See, I have Japanese hair, and it's very straight. Right?
DP: Yeah.
PK: So my idol growing up was Wayne Gretzky, and he used to have the locks flowing flowing out of his JOFA helmet. I wanted to copy him so I grew my hair out. It came straight down like a cape, so I tried to blow dry it to get a little wave in it.
DP: Couldn't you get a perm?
PK: I thought about that, but it's Oriental hair. It just didn't work.

kind of odd that the article on Hall mentions his roommate, Rem Murray, but fails to point out that they're both from MSU. i remember the same things being said about Murray when he entered the NHL.
