If it makes him play better...then,why not?

Posted Sunday August 24, 2008, About: Monty pressuring Faldo for Ryder bid

Monty deserves to be on the European Ryder Cup team,in spite of his game going south in the last year or so.His past contributions to the European side is reason enough to be on this years' squad...however,trying to push Nick Faldo to earn the right could backfire on Monty....and could make Faldo the villain if he rejects Monty.

Vin Scully...class act. Jeff Kent...classless act.

Posted Saturday August 16, 2008, About: Wie fends off more criticism

Wie put herself in this situation...nobody should feel sorry for her.That's what happens when you diss the LPGA and play in PGA events she has no business being in.Privately,the LPGA and some noted players are thrilled that they may not see her in 2009...she has turned out to be more than just a distraction.

Posted Wednesday August 13, 2008, About: Why Islanders hired Gordon

The coaches that were out there and available: Tortorella,Quenneville,Hartley,Maurice...wanted no part of that three-ring circus in Long Island.Snow had to settle with Gordon...time will tell if this is a smart move or not.

Posted Sunday August 10, 2008, About: Why golf doesn't need Olympics

There is nothing wrong with ping pong being an Olympic sport,I do have a problem with beach volleyball being there,and not golf.

Posted Friday August 08, 2008, About: Monty falling out of Ryder picture

Even though Monty's game is not where it once was,Faldo would be foolish to leave him out of the European Ryder Cup team.His past performances and experience would be an asset to the team.

Posted Friday August 08, 2008, About: Another coach takes on Daly

As long as he can help Daly's golf game...and if there is beer and cheeseburgers involved,it is all good.

Posted Wednesday August 06, 2008, About: Tiger out at least five months

Don't be surprised Tiger will be back next spring,just in time for the Masters.

Posted Wednesday August 06, 2008, About: Tigers among teams scouting Garcia

Tigers need bullpen help...that's what has killed them this season.Freddy Garcia not the answer.

Posted Wednesday August 06, 2008, About: Tiger out at least five months

Tiger playing it smart...not rushing to get back on the Tour.When his knee is 100% and feels comfortable with his game,he'll be back.

Posted Monday August 04, 2008, About: NHL to investigate Preds sale

And everybody wonders why the NHL does not get the respect and notoriety they really deserve...thank you Gary Bettman!

Posted Monday August 04, 2008, About: Singh wins Bridgestone despite putter

Vijay won it,Phil could have won it...but dropped like a lead balloon when it mattered the most.

Posted Monday August 04, 2008, About: Mickelson: 'I played great'

Muktech,you are not a Mickelson-hater...you just call it as you see it.

Posted Monday August 04, 2008, About: Mickelson: 'I played great'

Yeah,he played "great"...great enough to allow Vijay to steal the tournament.Let's see how "great" Phil plays at Oakland Hills this week.Will he play "great" enough to make the cut?

Posted Sunday August 03, 2008, About: Yzerman, Nieuwendyk on retirement

These two great players had the misfortune of not leaving the game on their own terms...guys like Sakic and Sundin are still healthy and have at least a couple good years left.Sakic will likely play out his career with the Av's...Sundin,on the other hand...it is anyone's guess where he will end up.

Posted Saturday August 02, 2008, About: Leafs failed to impress Bowman

Yep,the Leafs got the Finger.Richard Peddie is definitely what's wrong with the Leafs organization...as long as he is there,not much will change...the club will be hard-pressed to win enough games to get into the playoffs.

Posted Saturday August 02, 2008, About: Leafs failed to impress Bowman

When Scotty was in Detroit of late,look who he had around him: Kenny Holland,Jim Nill,Jimmy Develano,Steve Yzerman.Factor them plus an owner who is committed to the city,the fans...the result is they are Stanley Cup champs.They strive to put a winning product on the ice.The Leaf organization is run by a bunch of bean counters and lack true hockey people to run the ship right.The Leafs have that reputation of doing things half-**** and expecting positive results...instead,their moves eventually blow up in their face.If the Leafs pass up a guy like Scotty with all his credentials,not allow him carte blanche to run the hockey operation,then you know this organization is not focused on winning and will always come up short year after agonizing year.

Posted Friday August 01, 2008, About: How Blackhawks landed Bowman

Smart move by the Blackhawks to get Scotty,shows you they are serious to make things better...both on and off the ice.Unlike the Leafs organization(who supposedly turned down Scotty),the Hawks want respectability...and is going in the right direction.

Posted Thursday July 31, 2008, About: Vermette linked to five teams

Sens will never deal to a rival like Toronto.

Posted Thursday July 31, 2008, About: Predators interested in Parrish

Sundin who?
