I found the part about the Arena Football League to be pretty funny. This is a sport that embodies the ESPN-ification of sports in the 21st century. More points = more excitement, and yet they aren't covering it? Count me in as one of those who thinks ESPN needs a major overhaul! Although...

I just heard on the radio that he has, indeed, passed away. RIP Chris. So very sad.

This is a great thread. I play in a soccer league that has 4 divisions. The league is setup with licensed referees, and the divisions are setup with Promotion/Relegation like a lot of the European leagues. Currently my team is in the 2nd division, looking to be one of the top 2 teams to...

I guess I'm kind of a purist when it comes to sports. I don't see what we have today as an "evolution" of sports, but more of an ESPN-ification. It's amazing what the media can do to force new things onto the public and the sporting world. If baseball games were always 3-2, and hockey games...

I could believe it was someone traveling with her. One other thing I have noticed is that ESPN tends to use the same hotels over and over for their events, this is how people are able to get autographs from ESPN's celebrity reporters/analysts/commentators. It is not beyond comprehension that...

While it does seem unfair on the surface, I don't see this as such a big deal. No matter where,when, or who you are playing, if you are the better team, then you should be prepared to win, plain and simple. Taking care of business in "hostile" territory is part of being a champion. You...

My wife and I are huge Olympics fans. Myself for the sport & competition, my wife for the stories behind the athletes. The Soccer tournament will be the one thing I'll watch the most, through Live TV/Online/DVR. I'll also be following Women's Field Hockey because a local girl made the team...

I can't stand the Tampa Bay Lightning. When they stole the Stanley Cup from the Calgary Flames I felt like burning down the city of Tampa Bay. They couldn't even fill their arena for the playoffs, AND the stupid Tampa fans needed a section on their website to explain the rules of hockey. I...

Actually the Kings didn't win any with Gretzky. He won 4 with the Oilers but got traded before they won their 5th in 1990.

I knew you were going to post this, and it would've been my choice as well. It is forever ingrained in my memory. Very scary.

I've played ice hockey since elementary school, so it's always been my #1 sport. I played Defense growing up and around '85/'86 there was no better Defensive role model than Al MacInnis! I instantly fell in love with the Flames because of MacInnis, Vernon, and Lanny McDonald. Then they added...

In 1978 the Colorado Caribous played their only season in the North American Soccer League. Thank God that they did since they played in these awful jerseys. Please note the "western" inspired fringe.

It wasn't that bad of a game. The writing is definitely on the wall for the Pens, though. The Wings played VERY poorly and still only lost 3-2. You have to believe the Wings will have fire in their bellies for Game 4 and will hoist the Cup back home in 5.

1) September 10, 1996 - The NEW CoreStates Center (now Wachovia Center) - World Cup of Hockey Finals Game #1 - Canada (4) USA (3) OT. The 1996 World Cup of Hockey held 3 games in Philadelphia as the first events ever held in the new CoreStates Center. This was the first game of the Finals...

1) Calgary Flames - They always find a way to break my heart, but I still bask in the glory of 1989 when they beat the stinkin' Habs in the Montreal Forum to hoist the Cup!!! 2) Cincinnati Bengals - I still have a picture of me at 4 or 5 years old with a Kenny Anderson jersey on. (odd since we...

I hope so, too, but the article made it sound as if the Benoit's were administering the drug and purchasing it on their own.

If this turns out to be true, than this story gets more and more disturbing my the minute. You are supposed to love your kids unconditionally for who they are, not what YOU WANT them to become. Obviously this man had become unhinged a long time ago.

Well, reading some of the Nascar.com boards, it sounds like a lot of #8 fans are VERY unhappy. My thing is if you like a driver, and you want that driver to win, why wouldn't you want them on a team that puts him the best position to win?!? Sometimes I wonder about my fellow Nascar fans.

The Mexican team is very good to begin with, and if they play solid, then I agree that they will coast through. I expect them to turn a lot of heads as they head to the semi-finals. Ultimately, though, I still think Brazil can sleep their way to the Cup once again.

Amen to that! I always know I'll be excited for the World Cup, but when it actually gets here?....WOW!!! I can't wait. It's a good thing I got a cooling fan for my DVR cause it'll be working overtime!

I agree with you about Italy being strong this year. It's a real shame that 1 of Italy, Czech Republic, and USA will not move out of group play. What a terrible draw for their group when looking at world rankings. Italy #12 Ghana #50 USA #5 Czech #2 Then you look at Group A and see...

Would be kind of funny, though, to see Redknapp drop twice in consecutive years.

It's so great to hear more Americans getting into "Football." I've been following the English Leagues for many years now. The Premiership is a great league to watch, because it never gets old rooting against Chelsea, Man U., and Arsenal :devil: . I love the Promotion/Relegation format and...
