Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Ron Paul Reacts To Maine Caucus Results
Last August Roenick retired and almost immediately found himself in the broadcast booths of Versus, NBC and CBC's Off the Record. Most notably, he sat next to Milbury for two weeks this past February for NBC's coverage of the Winter Olympics. It has worked out pretty well, although it's safe to say that Roenick isn't America's version of Don Cherry (and maybe that's a good thing). But earlier this week, Roenick took the time to show us that he's always entertaining with a microphone in front of him regardless of whether it's in the broadcast booth, being interviewed during his playing days or -- in this case -- in front of the mic at a karaoke bar.
Jeremy Roenick Takes the Mic in Chicago for Some Karaoke

About a year and a half ago, I wrote that Jeremy Roenick needed to retire immediately for the good of the game. I argued at that time that Roenick, while very entertaining on the ice, would be even more entertaining off of it. In a broadcast booth or on a studio show, Roenick could help bring some interest to American hockey broadcasting that had been lacking, despite the best Pierre McGuire and Mike Milbury have tried to, uh, squabble. I was wrong, if only about the location of where off-ice he would be most entertaining.

Cameras caught Roenick earlier in the week at Stanley's in Chicago singing the song "Funky Cold Medina." And no, it was no solo act, Roenick has a full-fledged karaoke backup band. Now if only they could figure out how to make this part of the Versus pregame show, then we'd really have something. Roenick has always been a hockey player first and an entertainer second. Now that his playing days are over, are we going to see Roenick the Entertainer take center stage more often?
