    NHL 2012 off-season notes & transactions

    I didn't mind seeing the rodeo clown fired, but that's a different topic for a different time. Besides Brother Stogie, when did we ever agree on anything? Oh yeah, your comments on the NHL. That's a first ;).

    NHL 2012 off-season notes & transactions

    NHL Game Cancellations You know, I paid very little attention to college hockey. I watched a game every now and then. When the NHL pulled this stunt back in '04 college hockey filled the void. It took me a couple of seasons to get back to watching the NHL. It was good to watch a game early in...

    Local Boy Makes Good

    Congratulations to the New York Giants, especially Steve Weatherford on winning the Super Bowl. Steve is a local boy from right here in Terre Haute. He once kicked a 55 yard field goal when playing high school football for Terre Haute North. We have had a few players from Terre Haute to play in...

    If Cincinnati doesn't like their Bengals, how about moving them to LA?

    How about moving them to Indianapolis? I've been a Colt hater for almost 50 years, get rid of those bums. I was a Bengals fan from 1967 to 1984. When the Colts came to Indianapolis they knocked the Bengals out as my regional OTA game. I hate the Colts even more because of that. That, and of...

    Football Rule Changes

    Great input guys, that's what I was looking for. I really do like the idea of moving the PAT back, but I didn't give much consideration to the 2 point conversion until I was typing this up. Let's see if we can some up with something better. I think this problem started with video replay...

    Football Rule Changes

    This is something I have thought about for a long time. I am not saying these changes should or shouldn't be made, just something to thing about. Of course your valued opinions are welcome. NFL 1. Do away with the fair catch. Would make 4th down more exciting. It works great in the CFL. 2. Do...

    Astros to the AL?!?

    Good point, I retract the above statement. If anyone remembers, when the Braves played in Milwaukee, 1953 through 1965 they always had good rivalry with the Cubs. That never happened bewtween the White Sox and Brewers, so I have always thought that the move of the Brewers to the NL was to...

    Astros to the AL?!?

    I've always said that it they want to switch a National League team to the American League it should be the team with the least amount time of service. Bye, bye Diamondbacks. If they took a poll on what two teams would be disolved, Tampa and Arizona would get my vote. Besides if I was an owner I...

    Indy Car driver Dan Weldon dies after crash

    Really the fire had nothing to with his death, it was the cockpit of the car slamming head first into the catch fence that did the damage. If the car would have hit any other way chances are he would have survived with injuries or walked away.

    Indy Car driver Dan Weldon dies after crash

    I have conversed with Dan Wheldon many times, in person at the Indianapols Motor Speedway and by mail. By no means am I saying that I knew him, but he made you feel like he had known you all of his life. He had that kind of personality. Up until today there have only been three racing deaths...

    Student Athelets and Class

    I know Bobby's stance and even though I can't stand IU I do agree with him. That's one of the reasons LB couldn't cut it in Bloomington. He was working on a garbage truck here in Terre Haute when Bob King found him and made him a star.

    Student Athelets and Class

    This question is not ment to be sarcastic or demeaning, but how many student athletes actually attend class? Being from Terre Haute I always thing think of a story a good friend of mine told me. He told me when he was attending Indiana State he had a class with Larry Bird. He told me that Larry...

    New Pitt football coach arrested in Indiana

    What ever happened to "innocent until proven guilty." Now days it's "guilty until proven innocent." People seem to want to jump the gun on things like this so they can remain policitaly correct. Wait until the out come of the trail, if innocent, fine keep him, if guilty fire him. Pittsburgh...

    Boston is Pathetic

    Believe me, I do not like free agency and I am not a George Stienbrenner fan, but I do like his will I win and his willingness to shell out the money. If there were more owners like him the field would be more level.

    About a month or so ago Paul made the comment to me that I should revive the triva thread. After thinking about it I have decided, yes, we need this thread. Any questions I ask come from my head. All I ask is that your answers come from your head. No fair looking answers up on the internet. If...

    Fan of the NBA? Why or Why Not?

    It seems to me that the Knicks went into the sewer when I. Thomas took over and have been there ever since.
