Again, truer words never spoken. Every time I here some minority or nation whining how hard they have/ had it, I think of the over 20 million russians that died in the Nazi siege. Incredible that this piece of history is overlooked. You would think the only victims of WW2 were the Jews. Of course thier plight was unbelievably bad but it always has annoyed me how the russian horror is virtually ignored.

Hell, a Chili's logo would be a improvment on the cowboys gay uni's. Let it go through.

I remember reading 2-3 years ago that canadians accounted for approx 10-15k a game . Not sure how many Canadian season tix holders that translates to though.

LOL. My thoughts exactly. You can throw hoops in with baseball as well.

Im with you. Did you happen to hear the segment last week when he replayed the singing of the anthem at "Wrigley Stadium"? Was in tears listening to Rome go off on Jeff Gordan, Ozzie and Mike Ditka.

All I can say is that Slam's hockey writers are pretty connected. It's possible the lack of details reflect thier unwillingness to reveal thier sources? When I see hockey news on Slam(Toronto Sun) I give it more credibility than other sources. As far as Bettman and Goodenow being sideshows I guess that true. Maybe they wouldnt be mere sideshows if they were more of a asset to the game. I guess it can be argued that Goodenow has been a decent union leader for the players(if you are of the unionist ilk), however the same can not be said for Bettman. That im sure of.

http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/2005/05/31/1064644.html The best news is Goodenow and Bettman may be gone. The earlier this gets done the better. Then the NHL can concentrate on making the game more exciting like it used to be.

Its starting to look like we should just keep him for insurance for this year anyway. Man a 5th or 6th choice seems like no choice at all. He has more value as insurance at this point

Now that I don't believe!!! San Diego is gorgeous and so is the weather. And the Cali women thing is no myth.

There are going to bumps in the road with Losman lets face it. Maybe the playoffs arent in the cards this year. Thats not a disaster necessarily. Im just looking for Losman to show that he has the potential to be a very good qb. His first season is going to be a learning experience with lots of up's and downs. I hope that by the end of the season he is looking like the real deal for the following capaign. I dont expect a Super Bowl team and qb this year and I think that if anyone is they arent being realistic. I just want some positive development all around but especially at the qb position. But I dont expect Losman to be a All Pro. At least not yet.

Yeah thats a good wav. As long as we are posting sound bites how about this one?

Also the movies ending just begs for a sequel. Has always puzzled me why there hasnt been one yet.

It has happened before. Again a pitcher and I believe he got stabbed in the throat by bat splinter. Someone here with much more baseball knowledge than me will know. I cant remember but it was a 20 or 30 years ago I think.

oh crap the image tag didnt work. Anyway, image can be found here

Seiously it would be nice if we could watch the canadian JrA finals here in the states. Usually some great hockey. I also love the perks of fame. Signing breasts is a definite upside of the burdons of stardom. Can't wait to see how Crosby does in the NHL when it finally starts up.

Off tommorow, Sunday and Monday. Weather is beautiful . Barbacue's. Pacificos o'plenty. Sweet.

If Holcomb sucks so bad why did we get him? I think your underestimating Bledsoe suckieness. Anyone, even Quincy Carter would be better than that slug.

If someone has to get run over it may as well be a rapper.

I just dont think that is possible. Bledsoe is an absolutely horrible qb. I just can't see Losman being that bad and if he is, Holcomb isnt a scrub. If things really get derailed with Losman, Kelly is a servicable qb. I think 7-9 at the very worst looking at the sked.

It's about time. Hardheaded union pr1ck that should have been gone years ago. But Bettman should also go. Not for the lockout situation but for his lack of leadership over the last decade.

Soundest advice here. Being in managment #1 is exactly what I would be thinking/doing. In fact, where I am now there is a co-manager of mine that I know has applied for another job elsewhere but it didnt pan out for some reason. I know that guy cares little about our place now and will jump ship when the time is right for him.

Yeah sounds traumatizing. Not quite as bad as our prisoners getting their head cut off on tv but almost as bad.

Too anyone who is still watching this show. And it really is too bad this never took off cause its one of the best shows out there. Who is your winner? Personally I think Manfredo over Mora kinda easily in a decision. Mora just has no sting in his punches at all. I actually thought that Brinkley should have beat him if he only upped his work ethic a notch.
