HOLY SHIT I LOVE THE METS! this rules YANKEES EAT IT BITCH, EAAT IT GOOD

Total domination, here is a snippet of my favorite round as broken down by yahoo sports. ROUND 7 Lead right by De La Hoya lands to open the round. Pacquiao rakes De La Hoya with a three-punch combination. Double jab by Manny. Pacquiao batters De La Hoya into the corner. He

They are completely emasculated at this point, no balls and no heart. They played one of the worst games against a team with a dirtbag who ended the Bruins' best player's season, maybe longer.... They really needed to show unity, toughness, and demand respect from a team that basically walked over them tonight. Turn them over....they are done.... Bummed in MA.

Today in health class we had a sub who instead of actually doing anything had us get into an arguent about what a sport. Is curling a sport? Nascar? Cheerleading? What about Chess? The dictionary was pretty vague, so what do you guys think is the difference between a sport and an activity?

Congratulations to Bayern Munchen for winning the Champion's League Final (and beating Borussia Dortmund).

...finally got a decent QB...let's take a quick inventory of our past OB's (from at least when I was born - 1982) Jim McMahon Mike Tomczak Jim Harbaugh Eric Kramer Rick Mirer Shane Matthews Cade McNown (ouch) Jim Miller Chris Chandler Henry Burris (ouch ouch) Kordell Stewart Craig Kenzel (who?) Chad Hutchinson Kyle Orton Rex Grossman Brian Griese ...and now Jay Cutler...woot:D

Congratulations to the US women's soccer team on perhaps the greatest comeback victory I can remember in recent history. It is gratifying to see grit, determination and raw talent win out over terrible (horrendous) refereeing and egregious diving. I only hope that the referee is not allowed to call a FIFA match for the rest of humanity's existence. And just to put the exclamation mark on it the president of the university was driving by as Karen was doing her Brandy Chastain in our driveway. It was nice of him to wave.

I was wondering what the masses thought about this. I was listening on the radio this morning and the talk show host was explaining why he felt instant replay would be good for baseball. Granted I'm not a baseball fan, but I do watch the playoffs. He brought up examples like when Mark McGwire was going for his home run record and he recalled there was an instance when a ball was called foul, but after the replay it clearly was a home run. Also, I guess there was a play in the Rockies vs Padres game it should've been a home run but ruled a double that he mentioned? I didn't see that game, but I wish I did. He added that he wouldn't want it for things like strikes or balls.…

...Begins tomorrow. Yay for my favorite three weeks of sports for the year . Anyone confident in their bracket/s? Imo far tougher this year than last. My final four is Kansas, Kansas State (over 'cuse in elite 8 ), Duke (easiest pick of the four), and West Virginia (toss up over UK in elite 8, this is the year for wv if they're going to get close).

Yesterday the team from Hawaii overcame a 5 to 1 deficit in the top of the sixth to win 7 - 5 to make it to the title match against Mexico. They were the underdogs against favored Mexico, but won 12 - 3. Just wanted to say congratulations to the boys from Waipio representing my home town . Iolana Akau made this diving catch while playing with a hairline fracture of his left elbow and homered today.

Damn, that was a fun game. Spain totally kicked Germany's ass.

I saw that there is a gathering HC fantasy FB thang, but I didn't chime in because I'm ignorant about Football (ok, and most other things). The only sport that I know anything about (besides synchronized swimming) is NHL Hockey. So I thought I'd just throw it out there. Any interest in a Fantasy Hockey League? I've never participated in a Fantasy anything, that is unless you count Crush Videos (it took me a minute to think of something really bizarre). But I'd be game.

Wow! Guess hes been having health issues for awhile and he's leaving Florida after there bowl game new years day.

Joe Frazier was the only boxer I ever really liked. I thought the Fight of the Century was amazing, and I hated it when Ali beat him the next two times. Joe was the greatest to me, and he liked headphones. Rest in peace, champ.

I know it's probably a longshot around here but is anyone here planning on watching UFC 114, particularly the Rampage - Rashad Evans fight?

I don't know if anyone is into watching motor sports here but the F1 season starts this weekend at "Bahrain", circuit "Sakhir". I'm interested to see if McLaren/Mercedes will still have the fasts car again this year but suck on reliability as they did last year. But renult looks to be up there in speed again as seen in test sessions. If you havn't watched it give it whirl because it is the pinnacle of motor sports (truly high tech).

This is probably going to be minority interest, but the precursor to American Football is Rugby. Elliptical ball and two teams of enormous brutal guys (and now women too). Rules of play are more cryptic (much) than American Football, and there is no defensive gear at all - no padding, no helmets (other than a soft one to protect cauliflower ears). Lots of injuries - it is not uncommon for a player to go off bleeding profusely from a cut, have it stitched, and go back on again. The odd broken bone, the odd concussion. Everyone has had a broken nose at some point. There are two variants of Rugby - Union and League. The rules are different. League has more in comm…

Do we have an HC fantasy hockey league? If not, any interest? If yes, I could play with you?

Wow!

Anyone else watching the draft today? I was thrilled that Mendenhall fell all the way down to the Steelers at #23 I think he'll be a perfect fit.
