Roddick or Federer? A win for Federer, he breaks the record for grandslams, and has bragging rights over his buddy Tiger.

This forum causes more flame wars than any other. I understand that people are passionate about hockey, but the attitude of "If you disagree with me you are an idiot" has got to stop. Come on people we are supposed to be adults here. The Sports forum is here so you can yack about sports other...

Was looking forward to watching Federer play this morning before the Canada Day festivities, but NOOOOO, NBC has the rights to the match and will play it on TAPE DELAY later. :hissyfit: TSN is showing other matches instead of the best player of all time. Lovely. :rolleyes

What do you think is going to go down tomorrow....it should be one hell of a day

Forget about Sidney's failure to observe tradition and shake hands after the final............check this out :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes Now that's how I'd treat the Holy Grail of Canada's National Sport :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes

Assuming they win the title, would Kobe be in the top 5 all-time NBA players? I guess for my generation, he'd be number 2 after Jordan, way after Jordan. But I only go back to the late 80's/early 90's. Bird, Magic? I think Kobe is better then both personally. BIG character issue of course, but just...

Ok, game 7 on friday. Will say Pittsburgh will surprise, Jordan Staal gets the winner, and joins big brother Eric in the Stanley cup parade in downtown Thunder Bay. Changed my mind on Osgood - the guy is money in the playoffs - amazing turnaround from his reg season!

What is the rule on rookie’s number of games or date before sending them back to there CHL team or keeping them in there NHL team?

For the second time, a team of one girl has won the Texas Class A team track title for her school while competing solo against 56 other schools. This is a remarkable story: http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/31143797/

Anyone else going to watch? This is one of those fights that has the potential to take MMA to the next level.

Awesome article in this week's Sports Illustrated about their scouting back in 1989 which turned the franchise around. Great read!!! Couldn't believe that Lidstrom (best defenseman of all time imo) was drafted way back then!!!!

As the subject line says, I'm in need of a goalie for tomorrow morning, June 3, at KRC. We are on the ice at 6.30 AM... there's nothing worse than playing with just one goalie, so your attendance would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you can make it, or if you have any leads! Feel free to...

If you haven't been watching the NBA playoffs, you might want to. The games have been great, especially the Celtics' series. It seems that every game they've played has been a nail-biter. They needed multiple overtime games to get past Chicago. Orlando has not been any easier. They need to win...

Can you believe it?? http://yourhabs.com/2009/03/09/carbonneau-fired/

Pretty simple - who's more dominant, and why? This came up in another thread, and thought I'd move the discussion here rather than threadjack. In my opinion, Roger Federer is on another planet. Without him in the field, anyone can step up and win a WTP event. Throw him in the mix, and it's a...

An 18 year old has just been convicted of manslaughter after pile driving a player head first into the ground during a skirmish that happened away from the play during a High school match. Manny Castillo was just 15 years old & the accused was 16 at the time of the incident. The Castillo family did...

Can you not hit anyone these days without getting a penalty? Interference? Give me a break, Havlat was playing the puck, gets hit, knocked cold and Kronwall gets a game misconduct. Ridiculous.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/baseball/mlb/02/07/alex-rodriguez-steroids/index.html?eref=T1 In 2003, ARod was a member of the Texas Rangers and there was no penalty if you tested for anabolic steroids.

To me, the idea of calling hits to the head is absolutely preposterous. I don't have any objection to the CHL rule because many of the players in the league are still considered minors...an extra level of protection is not out of line. However, in the NHL, players should have the common sense to...

Starting tonight with the Jays/Bosox series, TSN2 will be available on Rogers Channel 1 until the end of May, and then on Channel 98 for VIP subscribers. HD will be available on the current HD theme pack.

Down to the final 4 - let the games begin!

Okay, so I'm not what many would refer to as a die-hard horse racing fan, but I do occasionally watch the "Big 3". I'm glad I tuned in to the Kentucky Derby on Saturday to watch a $9500 bargain-bin 50-1 longshot basically fly past traffic on the left shoulder down the stretch, leaving the rest...

All I can say is WOW! Unbelievable series. I was channel surfing between eastern games yesterday and MAN I was tired just watching them go at it. Personally I don’t remember seeing the final 8 team be so equal. Anyone of these teams can win the cup. The parity is unbelievable. Mike

Watch and be amazed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0U2Vx_Ffjc&feature=quicklist

We started this discussion in another thread, let's continue it here

Is there any other high profile player who sucks as bad as this guy in the playoffs? 72 career playoff games and only 49 career playoff points? why does this guy get paid so much?? Worst player to ever win the MVP trophy? I think so For the record... Spezza 40 games, 39 points. any other...

For those who were wondering what a vintage Trials motorcycle looked like, here's my new ride. It is a 1976 Yamaha TY175. Was completely rebuilt over the winter by an experienced vintage trials competitor and is ready to enter an event. Cosmetically it is a bit challenged, but it is 33 years old....

This guy will never learn... complete idiot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E43SJB5wGCs He looks around to make sure the zebra are not watching him and he hits Thomas. Then he knows that Thomas will come after him so he looks back... IDIOT...

Not sure if this is in the right place or not but I'm looking for 2 players to play full time for summer hockey Wednesday nights at 7:30 in Barrhaven. I would rate the hockey as mid-level. There are some guys that can dangle, some that can't and a couple of old fat guys like me who are basically...

Is anyone else thoroughly annoyed with this late season push? I mean, it's great that they're playing well, but all they're doing is playing themselves out of a good draft pick (unless of course NYI are willing to trade their number 1 pick for Jason Spezza). I can't decide whether I even want...

I know nobody will take him, but Spezza has to go. He is simply not getting it. I am sick of all of the "offensive creativity" nonesense as an excuse for the give aways. He does not hustle, refuses to get dirty in the corners, and will not stop the give away plays. Everyone else has picked it up...

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

Here's a news story worthy of some ink. Yesterday, the unheralded team from the Netherlands beat the much more experienced nine from the Dominican Republic, 3-2, in a World Baseball Classic game. The New York Times wrote this of the game: ...

Strike two! http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=269889&lid=sublink04&lpos=headlines_main

Ottawa just signed Kuba to a 3 year deal. (3.7 million per)

Why is it that all of the Sens games are blacked out in and around Toronto? I would have thought that the market her would seek to "encourage" fans to watch the Leafs live. What possible market reason is there for denying viewers in this area access to the Sens? I don't get it.

I had not noticed until this morning that New England traded Matt Cassell and Mike Vrabel to Kansas City for a second round draft pick. Those salary caps can sure make establishing a dynasty difficulty.

this has to be the biggest insult to a team... apparently losing to the leafs is the final straw for teams that are struggling. After the leafs beat the Penguins the coach gets fired and now the same In NYC. I guess GM's can stand losing 9 of 11, but when that 10th loss in 12 comes at the hands...

The Leafs are out. Go Sens Go! :-)

Sens re-acquired "The Brick's"... http://www.ottawasun.com/Sports/Senators/2009/02/20/8470251.html

That had to be the most brutal call that I've seen in 10 years.........a Triple Minor?!? Give me a freaking break :biting: :biting: :thumbsdow :thumbsdow :thumbsdow

In 2007, the US President was paid $400,000. The Commissioner of MLB, Bud Selig, was paid $17.5 million. :rolleyes http://www.tsn.ca/mlb/story/?id=265565&lid=sublink07&lpos=headlines_main

Playing tomorrow morning from 8am-9am at the Sensplex in Kanata. Looking for 3-4 players, first come will be first served. Cost will be around $10 or so. Anyone?
