In a time of Prima Donna I am better than you super atheletes, today; the Doc got traded out of Toronto. I used to be a huge baseball fan until the lockout, but have been following a little bit since. All pro atheletes should take a look at this guy who exemplifies class, ethics, and...

Mike did it ! Apparently Carrie accepted---now we have something else to talk about :thumbsup

I was reading an article on TSN about Jr Hockey... http://tsn.ca/world_jrs/story/?id=302354 The hard-hitting Regina Pats defenceman is expected to anchor the right side of Canada's shutdown pair at the world junior hockey championship, likely with Val d'Or Foureur Marco Scandella, a...

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...

Clouston just announced that Spezza has, "a serious right knee injury". He is having an MRI at 3:30 this afternoon which will give a better idea of how long he is out. I know he has not had a very good start, but he has started to score as of late, and he is still the team's number 1 centre. I...

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!)...

Watching the game last night I heard the fans booing Alfie. I said to myself wait a minute...I thought this was a Sens home game. Sure enough, it was the classless leaf fans stooping to a new low. Booing our Captain in our own building. I didn't think Leaf fans could get any worse but I was...

So, after seeing a couple more hits shown on Hockey Night in Canada, I got to thinking about the hits to the head issue. I still feel that banning hits to the head is a drastic step, and one that will cause many players to shy away from physical contact. At the same time, i think it's clear there...

heatley for michalek, cheechoo and a second rder done deal. TSN twitter reporting

another 2 goals tonight gives him 9 in 18 games - on pace for 40 goals. He's a great 2 way player who has refound his scoring touch and plays with as much heart as anyone out there. I think he has a shot of making it on the 4th line but is likely still a long shot.

I've been using the same skates for 15 years and there is no longer any blade left to sharpen. Can anyone suggest a good retailer to purchase a new pair from? I have very flat, narrow feet so someone with some knowledge on fitting is best. Mike

How many here are CIS hockey fans? For a country that LOVES hockey, why is there not the same interest as America (and Canada) have for their NCAA football? Why do people not follow it? Its not a difficult ticket to get and the games are always great to watch! Its seems like the perfect team to...

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

Sak's Bears visit my Falcons tonight! Primetime baby!!!! Just like last year, Matty Ice is going to pull off the victory, although this year it won't be as close! Falcons proved last week they can be unstoppable!!! Falcons 31 - Bears 21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...

From some youth hockey promotion in Boston, they tape 1 on 1 type set ups and show them at Bruins games. This one is pretty incredible, but my favourite part is the reaction of the goalie after he gets beat. Universal sign language for WTF? :laughing: The scary thing is the kid who scores is...

Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, Brett Favre is back yet once again. Unable to recognize that his talents are not what they once were, he's out of retirement having just signed a two year $25,000,000 deal with the Vikings....

Okay NHL fans, here's the deal. The NHL in its wisdom has expanded to add a team in Seattle and you're the GM. First thing first, choose your team's name. :scratchch To make sure you're competitive, the NHL is allowing you to poach 6 players from any team to start your franchise on the right...

The sad part of all this is that Graham James is still coaching youth hockey but now In Europe. :rolleyes:rolleyes:rolleyes http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/rumors/post/Theo-Fleury-abused-by-Graham-James?urn=nhl,195030

Now that Mats has officially retired (or has he) it is time for the inevitable debate.........Does he deserve to be in the Hockey Hall of Fame?

Holy Crap

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

I've had a few guys back out of playing for my team in the Bell Sensplex league for this upcoming winter. Cost is $377 per guy and I'm looking for two players. Preferably one d-man and one forward. We play once a week, days of play are Sun-Thurs, start times are anywhere from 7:30-11:15,...

Too bad. It was a great story, and even though I'm not a flames fan, I was certainly interested in how this was playing out. I didnt' realise that they had an agreement that he would not be sent to the minors if he had not made the team. In fact, TSN is stating that he actually had to be considered...

Are there any EA Sports NHL 10 players out there who would be interested in starting up an online league for the PS3?? Shout out. My PS3 nickname is Toxis

Let's take a stab at what Clousten will throw out as his top 3 forward lines??

So it's looking like an easy victory for Roger at the US Open (knock on wood). If he wins the Australian, that's all four in a row. Pretty awesome!!!!! :not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth

While I have not been following the bankruptcy proceedings too closely, my sense of the essence of the NHL's argument to the Court is as follows: Forget about protecting all of the creditors. Forget about Jim Balsillie's offer, eventhough his bid is the only one that would cover all of the...

I've been watching a fair amount of this year's tournament, and other than John Isner stirring up things a bit on the mens side (he lost today), things are heading for yet another Federer coronation. (note: Isner looks a lot like our Mr. Johnston, don't you think? ;)) But on the women's side...

All is not rosy in the NHLPA. Reasons for Kelly's dismissal were not given. http://sports.sympatico.msn.cbc.ca/abc/News/ContentPosting.aspx?isfa=1&feedname=CBC-SPORTS-V3&showbyline=True&date=true&newsitemid=sp-nhlpa-kelly

Should the NFL reinstate Mike Vick for this season?

Anyone see this coming or just a rumour.http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=281356 if its true or not. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Ottawa/2009/06/09/9739306-sun.html

Does anyone know if the Eagles will be on any tv station tonight? Want to go to a bar to watch if they show Vick's first game.

So, I finally got around to seeing The Express last night, and while I wasn't overly enthused about Dennis Quaid as the coach, I thought the movie was well done. Pretty sad that a guy with that much talent and desire was cut down by leukemia before he even got to his prime. IIRC, the only player in...

It's all going to be made public tomorrow in regards to Danny Heatley's reason for asking for a trade. Read More.

In exchange for pleading guilty to a reduced weapon's charge, Plaxico Burress was sentenced to 2 years in jail. Maybe he too will make a comeback when he's released. If this keeps up, one might come to the conclusion that "NFL" means "National Felons' League."

:laughing:http://ca.news.finance.yahoo.com/s/20082009/2/biz-finance-teachers-pension-plan-boosting-its-stake-owner-leafs.html Now there's an owner that I want running my sports team.....more good years ahead for the Leafs :laughing:

Ok boys, i want to set up a suicide football pool for OG. Its gonna be winner takes all. The entry fee is a box of balls under $29.99 (winner will tell you what he wants). I will not be collecting the balls and giving them to the winner. If you lose, you drop the balls off for the winner. ...

Wondering how many footie fans here, especially BPL followers. So to start a thread for predictions Mine 1. EPL Title - Chelsea 2. FA Cup - Manchester City 3. Carling Cup - Manchester United 4. Top Goal Scorer - Drogba 5. Champions League - Real Madrid (Liverpool losing finalist)

fyi, flip over from the PGA about 3:30 today to watch Usain Bolt run in the final of the 100m.

Chicago picked up Rios off waivers yesterday. No compensation was paid to Toronto. Are the owners trying to strip the team of all of its assets? One can only assume that to be the case given that they will not commit to reinvesting the salary savings in next year's roster. It's not surprising...

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2009/08/09/kane_arrested/

As a change to the usual Heatley discussions, and in the wake of the Sens rewarding Elliot with a 2 year contract (800K, 900K), any thoughts on the goalie situation .........is Leclaire a long-term solution or just a temporary bandaid while Elliot earns more experience.....

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=287047

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

Personally I am very excited. The card has plenty of greay fight, with the GSP fight being the main attraction for me. I think frank Mir will lose to Lesnar GSP will submit Alves and bisping will beat Henderson. Your thoughts?

Another class player retires. Seems like the NHL can't replace leaders like Sakic, Yzerman, Gretzky.:not-worth
