Posted Friday November 27, 2009, About: Iverson intrigues Celtics

This picture is a rarity unto itself - one of Iverson PASSING the rock. Go figure...

Classy guy.

And a joke he is in the HOF. Alongside Clark Gillies.

Horrible trade for the Sens.

They lose a potential 50 goal-scorer and get Michalek? Cheechoo is horrid.

They should have gotten at least another 1st rounder tossed in to compensate for their player being the best in the deal - by a longshot.

Spoken like someone who lost Pro/Line.

Posted Monday November 23, 2009, About: How bad is Big Ben's concussion?

Ben is just fine. 2 rings before 30 years of age... (well before). I will take him just fine. Marino can come by and ask ben to wear one anytime...

I see your profile pic is Joey Porter. Someone other than Ben has no brains.

Posted Monday November 23, 2009, About: Leafs-Hawks pondering trade?

The Leafs can get back a 1st rounder for Kaberle (who will be dealt). That means the Leafs paid 1 first rounder instead of two. If the Hawks give the Leafs a 2nd rounder, they get another reasonable choice. Kessel is well worth the extra pick... the guy is 21, and is already a proven sniper. How many 21 year-olds are in the goal scoring category as Kessel Players simply do not score that much at such an early age. It was a good gamble for Burke. And yes, if they give up a 1st - 3rd overall pick, the pick is costly. But there is a lot of hockey to be played, and even if the Leafs miss the playoffs again - a strong possibility, as long as they haven't given up a lottery pick.. they can live with that.

So I guess guys would also pass on coaching in Green Bay, Baltimore, New England and Pittsburgh because of their geography as well? None are huge metropolis' either. Good logic.

Posted Saturday November 14, 2009, About: Matsui wants to stay with Yankees

Re-sign Matsui. He can DH for years and hit 20 HRs and knock in 90. Even with the bad knees. Sign Holliday to replace Damon. Sign Lackey. Trade Jackson and a couple of others for Granderson.

Posted Saturday November 14, 2009, About: Ochocinco fans mail mustard to Steelers

Just wait until December when your little boys start feeling the pressure and fold AGAIN.

Are these "overrated" Steelers the same team that forced Tony WAY OVERRATED NEVER WON A BIG GAME Romo to cough up last season? Just wondering.

Posted Friday November 13, 2009, About: Yankees trio likely to test market

Pettitte will be back.

Yanks will sign Lackey and Holliday. Promote Austin Jackson. Sign Mike Cameron to replace Melky until waiting for Jackson to mature into CF. Or go after Granderson, but that will cost them Jackson and a couple of other studs.. Gardner can get 30-40 starts to see if his bat develops. If he learns how to slap the ball well ( a la Ellsbury), he could be a real weapon with his speed. Cameron is a cheap option that can be a 1 year bridge for someone else to take over.

Posted Wednesday November 11, 2009, About: Iverson to Cavaliers?

The "closer" at the end of the game in Cleveland is Lebron. Not a 34 year-old "Answer".

Very dumb article.

Posted Wednesday November 11, 2009, About: Red Sox jockeying for Halladay?

True...

But I still like the Yanks with CC, Pettitte, Burnett & Lackey. (oops, did I say Lackey?) And toss in either a Hughes or as healthy Wang, the Yanks pitching is set for the next few years quite nicely.

Posted Monday November 09, 2009, About: Florida goalie blames defense

I swear I was thinking the EXACT same thing!

From one Leaf fan to another, I guess.

Posted Thursday November 05, 2009, About: Cowboys' Williams blaming Romo?

"It's not even funny. Not even close. . . . I'm the No. 1 receiver. But things are just going No. 2's way." The No. 2 is Miles Austin, who has broken out dramatically in the past few weeks. "He gets the ball thrown correctly his way," Williams said. "I'm stretching and falling and doing everything. Everybody [else] who's been here's balls are there. Our footballs [from Romo to Williams] are everywhere right now."

Doesn't this make the headline a little silly to you?

Posted Tuesday November 03, 2009, About: Did Stars mistreat Avery?

Mistreated?

This is a guy who cares about nobody - sits alone on the bench most of the time... trashes everyone and anything, biggest **** in recent memory in the NHL hands down. And quit the "he's a winner" argument. How many Cups has he won? Regular season stats mean nothing. Avery is a second line player who receives way more ink than he should due to his behaviour on and off the ice - not his true abilities. He isn't Dennis Rodman - a guy who was a beast rebounder and multiple champion in the NBA - despite the fact he was a head case. Avery has never won anything of merit. He is a guy who uses jr. B tactics, embarasses teammates and the game and is way overrated.

Posted Sunday November 01, 2009, About: Damon to White Sox?

I think the Yanks will keep Matsui.. why not? He is a full-time DH, while Damon has to play defense. The Yanks will seriously consider signing Matt Holliday.. giving them Holliday, Cabrera and Swisher/Austin Jackson next season.

Yanks need to add a starter as well, as Highes and Chamberlain are stilll unknown commodities as starters. Lackey would be a great fit but rumours have him looking seriously at Texas.

By accident ... and very lightly.

Yanks should sign Lackey and Holliday. Big $$, long term. Resign Johnny D for two more years.
