This little thing called a salary cap

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 23:48:31 EDT

Day one free agency has shown some of the dumbest moves cap wise in the NHL.

Start with Hossa, he will be 42 whent that contract is up, and it is front loaded. For one we'd think they'd learn after last year with that Brian Campbell and Cristobal Heut deals. Now, not only do they have those deals to worry about, but now Hossa. Great timing with guys like Toews, Kane, and some other young guys reaching contract years. No way they can all of them because they overpaid for a defenseman with flaws they obviously looked past, a backup goalie, and a guy who disappears in big games.

Now we move to Montreal. Not only some bad contracts, but I wonder if this team will even be as good as last year. They wan to get faster so they go out and overpay for...Hal Gill? Then going off and geting Scott Gomez and that huge contract

You guys should be relocated here. If you guys want to post some go for it.

Why I hate Notre Dame.

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 3:27:05 EDT

I completely cannot stand Notre Dame. They don't play in a conference, take advantage of playing lousy teams, lose when they play a decent team, and somehow get to always be on National TV. They haven't beaten a good team in awhile now and it's evident since they haven't won a bowl since 1994.

The Ray Lewis school of dance and idiocy

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 3:29:08 EDT

I looked up Ray Lewis, Bart Scott, and Terrell Suggs and 90% of their pictures of them dancing after a play. When they play all they do is show clips of Ray Lewis it's him dancing and alot of times it's after a play where he jumped on a pile after an 8 yard gain and then he thinks he got a sack. Now for the idiocy, besides being an ultimate role model for raping a women, he tries to hurt Mendenhall and apperantly that attitude has rubbed off. "There will be something in store for Ward." Really, wasn't there something in store for him the last 4 times they played and Hines still dominated them? IDIOTS!

Reggie Bush is NOT a superstar

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 15:27:41 EST

Reggie Bush is still living off his college reputation as a superstar. Bush hasn't lived up up to those heavy expectations put on him. Sure he's made some nice plays but hasn't been consistent really, well, at all. He will take a punt back or a swing to the endzone every once in awhile but he can't run inside and he could not handle the load all by himself. I gurantee if he didn't do as well as he did in 2005 he would not be getting this hype.

Week 4 picks

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 9:59:53 EDT

Browns over Bengals: The toilet bowl, just flip a coin. even though I would love for the Browns to lose to rub it in those fans faces after running their yap in the offseason so much. Gym_Brown will be exiled forever. The Bengals look not bad vs the Giants

Panthers over Falcons: Panthers are a good team and Atlanta looks like a ood team down the road, but not yet.

Titans over Vikings: The Vikings could win this making that QB situation a little more managable.

Broncos over Chiefs: I think Herm Edwards is playing musical chairs.

Poker with drinking men, my new specialty

Sat, 20 Sep 2008 22:28:03 EDT

So I'm at a neighborhood block party Saturday, During the afternoon and into the evening it was just hanging out with friends, eating, etc. Into the night, I was one of about 10 people left so me and four of the men get a game of Texas Hold'Em going. While we are playing, there is wine being passed between our table and the "moms" table and maybe the alcohol worked in my favor because I ended up beating them and winning $50, $40 if you don't count my $10. Don't worry I drink any, unless my Diet Pepsi was tainted. I guess playing poker with drinking men is my new talent

Spainish Basketball team posse. Seriously?

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 16:42:51 EDT

The spainish basketball team photo was just dispicable and I find it a double standard. Not only is it racist, they likely lied by saying the chinese put them up for it. If America did it there would be a huge controversy.

Cheating China

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 0:39:10 EDT

I have some beef with the Chinese female gymnastics team. The olympic age limit 16. One girl looks old enough, one is surrounded in controversy since all of her documents, except the forgable passport, says she 14, and the rest look to be around 8 or 9. Even the guy seated next to Bob Costas in the NBC studio said "Everyone knows they are under-aged." Then there's the treatment of the girls. Pulled out of schools around the age of three, the parents won't take them back, and don't get fed after a bad practice. Then on OTL there is even more controversy saying chinese officials are distracted the girl who fell twice. China is taking this way too far and I hope Americans keep their medal lead to rub it in there faces. Cheaters never win, right 2007 patriots?
