Posted Tuesday April 08, 2008, About: Kovalchuk wants changes

This is moot. Atlanta will continue to reside in the basement of the Southeast division, until they can roll THREE good lines, not just one.

What's the over/under on how many more years before the Thrashers move anyway ?

Posted Tuesday April 08, 2008, About: Leafs won't fire Maurice -- yet

Maurice isn't the problem with this team. It's the fans and ownership who refused to admit the Leafs should've been in rebuilding only until very recently.

Mats Sundin certainly didn't help either.

Posted Tuesday April 08, 2008, About: Did Pens sandbag for Sens?

Crosby's a big baby. The team lost because they have a somewhat shaky defense in front of Fleury. If they're not scoring goals, then they're in trouble.

Posted Sunday February 17, 2008, About: Holik headed back to Rangers?

Makes more sense for both teams to trade for Marion Hossa...

Posted Sunday February 10, 2008, About: Lawyers: Evidence McNamee lied

*Yawn. Next thing you know, Clemens's lawyers will pull up evidence that as a child, McNamee once jaywalked. Then they'll call it a "pattern".

These assaults are the act of a desperate man. Slowly, Clemens is realizing that this fight is no longer about his records- it's about avoiding prison.

Posted Saturday October 20, 2007, About: Yankees new front-office villain

Yawn. The Yankees will probably continue to make the playoffs, get to the ALCS and lose. And then their fans and ownership will continue to scream for someone's head. Unbelievable.

Posted Friday August 03, 2007, About: Cashing in on Barry's ball

It will be worth $0.00. MLB will make sure that they get the ball.

Posted Thursday August 02, 2007, About: Future of Preds in Nashville looks promising

There will be no expansion anytime soon. The lockout created a huge scar of distrust, and the NHL lost a huge amount of accumulated fanbase.

The team will move to KC because it makes too much sense.

Posted Sunday July 08, 2007, About: Briere's agent denies Sabres excuse

Buffalo doesn't need Briere. They're got great coaching, great defense, and good goaltending. They'll find some more Vanek's and Ray's, and contend for a SC title next season.

Posted Monday July 02, 2007, About: Who will Gomez, Drury skate with?

So much for the careers of Gomez and Drury- now they'll sink into the overpaid veteran oblivion that is the NY Rangers. Meanwhile, the Devils will quietly retool and probably make the playoffs the next 6 years anyway...

Posted Monday July 02, 2007, About: Why Briere signed with Flyers

In other words, "Daniel, our team will be rebuilding for 6 years, and you get to be the biggest and highest paid star during that stretch!"

Greed is good, I guess...

Posted Saturday June 16, 2007, About: Paintball shot sidelines Redskin

Why can't Landry just play Playstation like Clinton Portis and Laveranues Coles ?! This is by far the most stupid off-field injury to an NFL player thus far...

Posted Saturday June 16, 2007, About: Kobe tells Lakers owner: Trade me

Wow. I'll bet 200,000 Lakers fans just threw their No. 8 jerseys away. Kobe Bryant- the latest whining baby.

Posted Friday June 15, 2007, About: Will Eagles show interest in Darius?

Wow, Andy Reid sure is a tubby load of fatness. Eagles are P00-P00, sorry.

Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Jaguars have interest in Culpepper

Leftwich-Garrard-Culpepper ? If 2 of 3 of those makes up the core of the QB roster for the Jags, there's no way this team wins 8 games.

Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: NHL's oldest player to play again

Ahh, the next winner of the Ken Daneyko award for "The defenseman who has been most irrelevant for the last six years".

Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Sundin changes Leaf deal

Sundin just had the poor luck of playing for one of the worst franchises playing in the NHL. He's a hard-working finesse passer and field general, playing with a bunch of goons and thugs.

Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Avalanche forward to retire

Screw Turgeon. I only wish he'd have stayed down after Dale Hunter cheap-shotted him, all those years back...

Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Beckham may play after rest

Yawn! Good thing Beckham's not old and washed up too. I'm sure the Galaxy's counting on him to win the MLS cup. Oh well, at least he'll put a few hundred extra fans in the seats...

Posted Sunday June 03, 2007, About: Morton KO'd, then refuses drug test

It's Johnny Morton, dammit- who cares ? His plan to return to the NFL is a publicity stunt at best, and a pipe dream at worst.

Posted Sunday June 03, 2007, About: Re-signing Ranger just got tougher

$3.75M / 3 years is about right for Nylander - who for his entire career has been dependable, but never explosive in scoring. The statement "chemistry with Jagr" holds no water, since the team clearly needs help in many other areas, including on the 3 non-Jagr lines.
