Dancing Dad

For those who haven't seen it, I'll attach a brief video of the Michigan phenomenon known as Jack Johnson Sr., who entertained the home crowd during games by dancing. Sort of. Jack Johnson was asked today whether he dad would stop the routine now that Jack's NHL career has begun.

`` I hope so,'' Johnson said with a laugh. ``He dances but he can't dance. He had a lot of fun with the student section. He actually kind of got sucked into it and then it became a tradition so he couldn't get out of it. It was just a fun thing for the students.''

Great coverage on JMFJ Rich! Best coverage anywhere on the subject.

Can you check out the status of Parse. Concerned we may be losing a quality prospect and lots of rumors are flying.
