Posted Wednesday November 21, 2012, About: 2013 NHL Hall of Fame

Dave Andreychuk was briefly and Av, and Shanahan was a Wing. That wins the argument in Andreychuk's favor for me. :)

In all seriousness, both are deserving. I just don't like Shanahan.

Posted Friday May 18, 2012, About: Best Expansion Franchises Since 1990 in the Five Major US Sports (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS)

Probably, but then again, the guy did state in the title that it was the best in 5 leagues, then proceeded to choose two from NHL, two from MLB.

Posted Friday April 13, 2012, About: Top 10 guys you pray to god fail..

Todd Bertuzzi is the only athlete that I wouldn't mind seeing get a career ending injury. Otherwise, I hope the Oakland Raiders always fail.

Posted Saturday April 07, 2012, About: Stan Van Gundy Should not have let it be known that he was told that Dwight Howard wanted him fired.

He absolutely did the right thing. These are not high school students, and the players don't need to be protected. If the roles were reversed, we'd hear about it, and the common thought would be that Van Gundy was wrong for hating his players.

I hate how professional sports always elevates the athletes, and we then chastise the coaches when they say anything about the players that seems negative. If Howard wants to create a positive image for himself, he shouldn't do things that could take away from that image.

Maybe. Could also just be my annual touch 'n go. Time will tell.

Posted Saturday March 24, 2012, About: Matt Forte is acting like a little girl.

Harvey played in Denver last year. Well, not played....was on the 53-man roster, but inactive every game, or nearly every game.

Posted Saturday February 12, 2011, About: Sub .500 NFL team most likely to make a deep run in the playoffs next year.

Yes, I'd go with Tim Tebow as well.

Posted Saturday February 12, 2011, About: Was Jerry Sloan a top 5 coach of all time?

Sorry, DJ, I was unclear. I like left's list better than Sloan.

Posted Saturday February 12, 2011, About: Was Jerry Sloan a top 5 coach of all time?

I'm not a huge NBA guy, but I don't think Sloan is top 5. He was a great coach. But I like left's list better. I think that George Karl is a great coach. But he's got no titles to show for his 1,000+ victories. A guy has to have won titles to be in that conversation, regardless of the era.

Posted Saturday February 12, 2011, About: MLB Comeback player of the year

I think that Jake Peavy is a pretty good candidate. What about Brandon Webb in Texas if he can stay healthy?

Posted Friday January 28, 2011, About: Bull riding - The Toughest Sport on the Planet

Yes, playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs would be tough.

Posted Friday January 28, 2011, About: Done Deal, Cam Newton to Nashville, 8th overall

The Nashville Predators are not going to draft Cam Newton, nor will they be drafting 8th overall.

Posted Friday January 28, 2011, About: SDSU fans shouldnt be upset their coach is going to michigan

That argument is not legitimate until there is a far more equitable system for determining a national champion. The entire system of college football is flawed. People say that TCU doesn't deserve a BCS bowl because they don't face the "elite" competition, but that is a product of the system. If recruits knew that they'd have a shot, they might go to a MWC school, or any other "mid-major" conference. Most Mountain West locales are far more pleasant year-round than, say, Arkansas. It's a broken system, and I'm not just talking about the BCS.

Now that I can definitely get on board with. Bicycle racing is another one (aside from the doping) that is probably tougher - and rougher - than most give it credit for.

Posted Friday January 28, 2011, About: Bull riding - The Toughest Sport on the Planet

Max, you did well picking base jumping, but if you think the only "rough" thing about bullriding is getting stepped on, you need to study up a little more.

I don't want to make left's argument for him, so I'll leave it at that for now. But you are simply wrong on that assertion.

Oh, and most land grant universities have rodeo teams (read: state universities), though it is largely concentrated west of the Mississippi. Find me a school with an ag college, though, and I'll find you a rodeo team, which includes bullriding. Rodeo is a very legitimate scholarship sport.

Posted Thursday September 30, 2010, About: Fvkasm's tourney Final! 3 NHL players to build around, if we started a franchise today!

I can't believe nobody said Jimmy Howard. Lord Howard will smite you. Are you not aware that he will again win the Calder in this, his 7th rookie season, as well as winning the Masterson, Jack Adams, Lester Pearson, Richard, Selke, Lady Byng, and Heisman trophies this year? You should both be ashamed.

Everybody knows that the only good team needs Jimmy Howard, and only Jimmy Howard. He is the Alpha and Omega, both Jedi Master and Sith Lord.

Posted Wednesday August 11, 2010, About: Kovalchuk Ruling

Frankly, the "salary average" cap numbers created this monster. That is something that the NHL should look to change next time around. A player's cap number should be more in line with his actual salary. I don't understand exactly how the numbers work in the NBA and NFL, and maybe the hard cap means that those type numbers wouldn't work, but the cap numbers should be counted in a more sensible way.

Posted Wednesday August 11, 2010, About: Kovalchuk Ruling

While I understand the argument, I tend to take the "better late than never" side on this.

Posted Monday August 09, 2010, About: NL Cy Young winner is.....

If there is any justice in the world, Jimenez will win in a run-away. In fact, it should be unanimous if he wins 20.

Yes, I'm the biggest Rockies honk on this site, so take that for what it's worth. However, Rockies hitters have consistently been overlooked for postseason awards based upon the Coors Field factor, even in the humidor era. If that logic is to be applied to hitters' awards, then a pitcher having a season like Jimenez is having while pitching half of his games in Coors Field is having one of baseball's all-time pitching seasons, far better than those of Johnson, Doc, or Wainwright.

Otherwise, it's time for the national talking heads and award voters to give up their Coors Field hate.
