Zamboni Man

Love him or hate him....Gary Bettman looks like the Count from Sesame Street. The verdict just came down, no NHL season this year. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: to all parties involved in this disgrace. Regret the suffering that this caused the fans? Give me a break, you morons can't make a couple million dollars work?

Power Mullet Melrose is on ESPN talking....we'll see what happens.

Thanks! I turned the big 22 yesterday.

SPOILER! Here's the solution to the game: 1. open all the windows and turn the red arrow around. 2. open the hatch door on the right (looks like one flat stone on top of another) and click the yellow arrow so the guy comes out. 3. fire one round in the low position to drop the bridge. 4. fire the second round up at the bell, click the spear so that it turns just after the round hits the bell. 5. fire the next two rounds at the bridge, but click the bridge to known them in the air and explode without causing damage. 6. click the lightbulb and then the guy next to it and then the lightbulb again so that he smashes it. 7. fire the last round in low position. the bottom guy picks this up and opens the door with it. 8. click the dude by the cannon so he gets inside of it, click the yellow arrow to get another guy out. (there should be 3 stick figures out now). get him to fire the dude up to the bell. 9. the guy by the bell moves the tower over if u click him. then click the spear. keep clicking the bell until it falls. 10. click the door on the bottom left hand corner so the 4th guy comes out. JUST as he goes in the door on the right, click the bottom guy.

I'm pretty sure ESPN and ESPNews are carrying the NHL's press conference @ 1.

Losman has to start somewhere, he held the clipboard for a year and learned the system on paper (which I think EVERYBODY agrees was a good thing), and now it's time for him to show us why he was drafted in the 1st round. Honestly I'm a little nervous about it, but it had to happen eventually. Good luck to Bledsoe wherever he ends up next season. FWIW, I'd put money on a TSW rosen if the press conference today is to announce that Drew Bledsoe will be the starter for the Bills next season and not for him being released.

I'll post the solution later on today.

That's fine by me, really all the NHL need to do is dust off the rule book from the seasons 1970-1989 and they will be fine. Oh and fire Bettman when this debacle is over.

Pathetic....6 million is going to be peanuts compared to the long term $$$ they're going to lose from missing the entire season.

I figured it out around 3:30 this morning....I'm sitting in class right now watching other people try to figure it out. College computer lab being used for it's intended purpose for sure this morning.

Addictive Game...

Perhaps a rare Lake Erie tsunami?

Marv Levy. I'd like to hear some more of his Bills/football stories.

More of the same bs posturing between the two sides with no progress being made.

I went to high school with a guy who's proudest moment was being selected to the Who's Who. He actually carried the book around with him and bragged about it.

I'd agree with all those teams outside of San Jose, they have a great fan base. We can all pretty much agree that LA isn't going anywhere either considering it's the largest market in the US.

The craptacular Metrodome is really the Vikings problem. If they do build a new stadium, they should make sure it's either an outdoor or a retractable roof stadium, the home field advantage that the weather up there would give them would be right up there with us, Green Bay and New England.

When I saw it on the bottomline on ESPN, I thought for a second that Bidwell might've sold the Cardinals since the guy buying the team was from Arizona. Too bad I was wrong about that, he's by far the worst owner in professional football and maybe in all of professional sports. Though it is tough to be ol' Dollar Bill with the Chicago Blackhawks.

Led Zeppelin won a Lifetime Achievement Award a little while ago.... Now they have a bunch of people and the survivors of Lynyrd Skynyrd playing a tribute to Southern rock. Jimmy Paige looked like he was in damn good shape. Too bad they can't find anybody close to Bonham for a reunion show.

League: How About Now? Union: Nope.

Alley-oop for the tie @ 48...and then UB takes the lead 50-48 with 9:29 left in the game.

The turnover on the fast break and then when they got the defensive rebound and started to bring the ball up court were terrible.

Exactly...I work a full time 2nd shift job, and I'm a full time student during the day. We don't have a union, but my medical insurance is free, I get 2 weeks of paid vacation, 401k, and an optional dental plan that comes at an enourmous 11 bucks a month. I could probably be the like the 30 somethings I work with that don't really care about where they'll end up and try and live off 10.50/11 bucks an hour, but there's no way I'm going to settle for that. My Grandad was in the UAW at the Ford Stamping Plant for years, and was in charge of retirement when he retired, and I grew up in the typical pro union household in Buffalo, but I honestly don't think there is anything that a union could do for me that I can't do for myself with hard work and a good education. Even more so now that I live in the south. That being said, I don't think it's fair to pin unions as the reason that jobs are being shipped over seas, the textile industries down here didn't have nearly as much union power as the North still has and those jobs are long gone to Mexico and what not.

Time Warner needs to wake up...I'm sure the NFL Network would get better ratings then at least of the 10 channels of home improvement/home remodeling/extreme makeover shows they have on now.

I think you can also look at the slow start he had at the beginning of his career. Not many people thought Moulds would turn out as good as he did.
