I had the chance to go to games on the week-end. Ottawa University and Carleton vs the Louisville Cardinals (with Rick Pitino) and the Lasalle Explorerers. The Ottawa teams surprise the NCAA teams I think. Both Ottawa and Carleton played inspired basketball and competed very well. It was...

If you were so good at a sport that every NCAA school offered you a full ride, which would you choose for that sport, top 3? For me, football obviously. 1) San Diego State (ultimate party school in the best city in the world) 2) U of Florida (chance to play for that football factory, fun!)...

I need to dump 1 defensemen Goals are worth 2 points assists are 1 point Which ONE of these guys would you dump?? Kimmo Timonen - PHI Tomas Kaberle - TOR

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO-iH1UniSc a girl who can dunk.... regularly I know one or two have done it in the past but not like this

New England Patriots are still making the news.:stirthepo NEW ORLEANS - A lawsuit filed Friday by a former St. Louis Rams player and others seeks millions of dollars in damages from the alleged taping of Rams practices by the New England Patriots before the 2002 Super Bowl. The Patriots...

Yes, after 28 years Kurtis McLean has finally made it to the NHL. His perseverance finally paid off. Yesterday Trent Hunter cut his hand and Kurtis was an emergency call up for this afternoon game. I don't think his parents had time to make the trip to Long Island for today's (afternoon) game. ...

Let's hope Murray got this one right. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/Detroit+assistant+MacLean+Senators+coach+report/4938689/story.html Over/Under: 3 seasons. Comments? P.S. How sweet is that 'stache.

I see that my Cowboys won the NFC East today.:thumbsup :thumbsup :goodvibes :cloud9: :cheers :party My question is, how good do you think this team is compared with: a) Other NFC teams? b) The NFC+AFC-Patriots? c) Patriots in a rematch?

Does anybody else think this was probably one of the worst call ever in the NFL. Did Ed Hochuli had too much money invested in the Broncos he had to blow the game. We have seen it before in the NBA so... Just awful...

Divisional Playoffs Saturday, January 13 4:30 p.m. on CBS: Indianapolis Colts (13-4) at Baltimore Ravens (13-3) 8 p.m. on FOX: Philadelphia Eagles (11-6) at New Orleans Saints (10-6) Sunday, January 14 1:00 on FOX: Seattle Seahawks (10-7) at Chicago Bears (13-3)

The new season is upon us. I jumped in a suicide pool this year, lets see if I make it past week 1. I am not optimistic about my Bears this year, but like any deluded fan I still think they can get in the playoffs. Stupidest rule change in history this year, kickoffs are 5 yards closer,...

The Saints may be a distant memory in 2012 after the suspensions that were handed down today by Commissioner Goodelll. Among other penalties imposed, their head coach has been supsended without pay for a year, and they have lost their 2nd and 3rd round draft choices for the next two years. The...

I was just going to post in Bouche's Fantasy Football thread, but I'm more interested in general NFL discussion, so I'll open a new one. Is anyone else really stuck in their Survivor Pool at week 2? I guess I will take New England, every other game looks like a toss-up to me. And how about...

These coach have all been fired already: Romeo Crennel -- Cleveland Eric Mangenius -- Jets Rod Marinelli -- Lions Other team looking to changes coaches: Bills, Cowboys, Rams and maybe the Bucs Jim Mora will be coaching in Seattle next year... lots of changes.

OK, so who's winning this weekend???? Jags vs Pats (This is probably the only team in the NFL that could put an end to the Pats perfect season. They are tough and nasty and can control the clock with their run offence, should be a good game.) Chargers vs. Colts (The Colts better come to...

I'm so impressed with Houston for not taking Bush. If anything has been proven in the past several years is that you can get a great running deep in the draft. They have great talent on offense already, they just need to improve that O-Line and they'll be a playoff team. I think Tennessee is...

Definitely a weird one this year for me. My favourite team is the Dolphins (admitting you have a problem is the first step :P ) and my favourite college team is Michigan. This group of players from Michigan has frustrated the heck out of me for 4 years, always the promise of a national...

Jets just got fleeced. Awesome move by Cleveland.

Ever since I found this site, I have been as happy as a pig in the slop. Reading the posts and replys, and following the informative links have given me hours of fun. And now, I hear, there is a resident NFL Guru at this site. Bliss is mine! I love NFL football, real football!! My favorite...

Best QB? Peyton Manning, by far. I don't care that his TEAM hasn't won a Super Bowl. Brady has three rings because he played on a great, great team with great coaching and the best kicker of all time. People say Brady is suffering because he misses his o-coordinator. Well, Peyton is HIS OWN...

That is a total surprise... not sure why he went there but...

As I watched the Pats fight back to tie the Jets last night only to lose in overtime, it struck me that the outcome of the game was really determined by the toss of a coin. My gut tells me (I admit that I could be wrong) that the team who receives the ball first in overtime, wins the highest...

1. Payton manning will throw less than 30tds and have his worst passing total to date 2. Tiki barber will be the only RB to rush for more than 2000 yards this year 3. The colts will not win more than 10 games this year... 4. The giants will be one of the top teams in the league this...

I think that Kansas City at Indy will be the closest, highest scoring game of the weekend, maybe 2 or 3 points either way. Indy will move the ball at will, but Kansas City's rushing attack will be unstoppable. Should be a great game! In the only real upset, I see Dallas beating Seattle...

The Arizona Cardinals are in the playoffs. Now that is something to laugh about. I confess to being a disappointed Patriots fan. Let's face it, were the playoffs determined on the basis of the best teams, the Cardinals would be lucky to make the BCS playoffs.

Today I am 60 years old, and feeling lucky. So here are my picks for this weekend: Baltimore 28 Atlanta 20 Dallas 31 Indy 28 San Diego 30 Denver 27 Jacksonville 28 NYGiants 24

Who do you think is going to win the Super Bowl this year? PS. I have a feeling Dan will delete ProLine and Fantasy Football talk, so PM me if you want to talk.

I survived week 1 with the Colts, and could use a little help with the week 2 pick. Donny?

Chicago 19 New England 15

Not much chatter on the football front here this year. This week could be quite interesting. I'm really looking forward to the Lions/Bears game just because Kitna was able to put up over 400 yards this week against the Eagles and he was under pressure all game (7 sacks?) . I know a lot of that...

Well, after this weekend, my Super Bowl favorites are Chicago, Dallas, Jacksonville, New England, and Baltimore - in that order. San Diego has displayed a weakness in their pass defense the past couple of weeks. Indy and Cinncy are fatally flawed on defense, and the NYGiants and Denver likewise...

Bengal's WR Chris Henry is in critical condition. He was in Charlotte and got in a dispute with his girlfriend. She drove away from the house in a truck. Henry ran after the truck and jumped in the back before she got up too speed. Somehow he was ejected from the bed of the truck, police say at a...

Who gets the first pick in the draft this year? The season is canceled and the best JR player since MARIO is going to be the #1 pick? I heard they might go back over 6 years, total up all the wins and rank the teams from worst to first. Then do a weighted draft. Who is the worst team over...

I found the following two articles quite interesting. An article describing the economics of the NHL: http://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2004/1129/124.html Of note: "The 30 teams in the NHL lost a combined $96 million (before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) on revenue of...

How to make the fans come back? Have Bettman (or the home team owner if Bettman is elsewhere) play goal in the shootouts - without pads.

I think Minnesota and Calgary will be a force in the west this year. In the east.... I was thinking Florida but I am still unsure.

Saw hacker's post and thought it would be best to start a new thread for 360 owners rather than hijack his. Anyone in?

So which non-traditional hockey market will win the Cup next year? I think some place warm, it has seemed to work the last three seasons. :lmfao (Total tongue in cheek attempt at humour, but you have to see a trend here....)

New season starts tonight, but your prediction in cyberspace for all to see: Eastern Conference Winner: Boston Bruins Western Conference Winner: Anaheim Ducks Stanley Cup Winner: Boston Bruins Art Ross Winner: Ovie

Ok everyone, let's hear it... WHo will be the Playoff Teams in the East? And who is your team? Not in any order, I have : Penguins, Flyers, Rangers, Bruins, Hurricanes, Habs, Sabres and Sens... I am iffy on the Sabres, so maybe the Caps can get their stuff together and make it...

Seems there are not many interested in the NHL All Star game, but has anyone else heard about The Guardian Project? www.guardianproject30.com Is this for real, or an elaborate hoax?

Anyone shocked by any of these numbers? Which ones in specific? Jaromir Jagr- $89,678,851 Joe Sakic- $80,424,047 Keith Tkachuk- $70,348,674 Mats Sundin- $68,542,632 Pavel Bure- $66,369,794 Rob Blake- $65,987,982 Mike Modano- $65,837,650

Does anyone know what the 'rules' for arbitration are? I heard that the arbitrator cannot decide on a figure, he either awards what the player wants or what the team wants to pay. This makes no sense to me as this is not really 'arbitrating'

Now that the season is over, let's get to the serious stuff. :P :lmfao Who are your picks for the annual awards? My picks will be bolded. Hart Crosby Brodeur Luongo

If a highly paid goalie was put on waivers and sent to the minors, I know his NHL salary would have to be paid him but would that count against the teams cap?

Ok I finally figured out how to watch the NHL Finals and avoid Bob "I MUMBLE" Cole. NBC is the secret. Then back to CBC for Coaches Corner, then back to NBC. Bye Bye Bob & Harry. :-)

what do you hab fans think of this one? http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=283329
