USA! USA! USA!

This is from The New York Times recapping last night's Rangers-Penguins game. Am I the only person who thinks the USA chants thing is hilarious?

The post-Vancouver warm fuzzies were banished 4 minutes 10 seconds into the Rangers’ first home game since the Winter Olympics, after Lundqvist came out of his crease to yell at Sidney Crosby. He was scolding Crosby for embellishing a fall after Rangers defenseman Marc Staal cross-checked Crosby in the ribs.

“I just thought it was a bad call, and I thought that he played it,” Lundqvist said, referring to Crosby, who scored the gold-medal-winning overtime goal for Canada against the United States on Sunday. “I told the ref he’s a great player and should be protected, but he shouldn’t use it either.”

Crosby shoved Lundqvist away, which prompted Brandon Dubinsky to skate over and start pummeling Crosby while the Garden crowd chanted “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” along with something more vulgar involving Crosby’s name.

USA chants to taunt Sidney Crosby. I love it. You also have to admire the way The New York Times always manages to write so professionally: "...along with something more vulgar involving Crosby's name." Great stuff.

And if it's Friday, that can only mean it's time for another Daily Show clip. It's 10 minutes long, but it only gets better as it goes on. Wait for the loan shark. Trust me.

And here it is, your moment of zen.
