Welcome to JayPo’s Penalty Boxed Lunch, where we explore food from around the country! This week’s 20th official entry comes to us from the Hoosier State and their affinity for dinner plate sized fried tenderloins. Food History! While it might be a Midwest staple, it has become synonymous with Indiana, who has laid claim to…
I remember it like it was yesterday. Sitting in the second to last row of the then Wachovia Center with my dad, just a month after my 11th birthday for game five of the 2010 Eastern Conference final against the Montreal Canadiens. The night Mike Richards slammed into Jaroslav Halak and cemented “The Shift” into…
*Some real big August energy from the hockey media yesterday. We are bereft of links.
