Bill Simmons Mailbag

The Sports Guy has a new mailbag up. This bit reminded me of something:
Q: Is there any better way to say that a couple is actively trying to have a baby than, "They've pulled the goalie?"
-- Bassel, Sunnyvale, Calif.

SG: Absolutely not. It's the single-best thing that hockey has done for our culture since Barry Melrose single-handedly saved the mullet.
My brother-inlaw used to play goalie in a couple beer leagues. My wife and I took our first daughter to see him play a couple of times and I had to explain to my daughter what all that goalie equipment was for. Afterwards, my daughter started explaining to people that her uncle Dennis was the one who "used protection."
