Emrick must be dizzy

Not since I was standing next to Maria Menounos at the Super Bowl have I seen somebody get blitzed for so many photographs.

Mike Emrick will need a nap before this game even starts.

Someone who shall remain nameless just told me that meeting Emrick was one of the biggest moments of his entire life.

The whole scene is pretty cool.

On tonight's game with the Evansville IceMen, I have to wonder if there will be any retribution; this is the first meeting with Fort Wayne since Chris Auger was knocked out for the season on the Aaron Gens low hit.

Auger is having surgery Thursday.
