Posted Thursday March 07, 2013, About: Noel part of the Jets' problems?
Sore lack of coaching talent. Sore lack of team chemistry. Sore choice in goaltending selection.
Winnipeg hurts.

Q: Why won't Howard try?
A: He is the Tin Man........ no heart. (see Vince Carter)

This move may backfire on Winnipeg's somewhat new management team. This young group does look good for the future though.

Likey VERY much!
Posted Thursday April 19, 2012, About: Report: Howard won't play for Van Gundy
Howard is now = to Mourning. Good player. Terrible teammate and even worse role model.
Posted Sunday November 13, 2011, About: Stern: Decertification will burn agents
I too prefer to not know who will win before the game starts.
The NBA refs shade the game in favor of the stars and also the big market teams.
The college game is much stronger in it's integrity.
Posted Friday October 28, 2011, About: Crawford: I can be better than Michael
Give him to Isiah Thomas.
In no time he'll be out of the NBA.
Posted Wednesday October 12, 2011, About: Stoudemire: We'll start our own league
NBA may soon find themselves in a "dead" sport, like MLB.
It's been 17 years, and the MLB fans still have not returned in all markets.

Teemu! Come back to Winnipeg.
Posted Thursday May 26, 2011, About: Bettman splashes cold water on Winnipeg
These are not accurate facts pal.
After it was announced that the franchise was moving..... yes the attendance went down to 11k in the final season.
The 8th largest tv market only has about 24,000 viewers of hockey. Everyone in the area is watching nascar and bowling.
Wininpeg was not financially viable because it had an outdated arena, and the Canadian dollar was worth 70 cents. Now the arena is there and the dollar is worth more than the greenback.
Winnipeg has a metro pop of about 725k, Macon has about 250k.
With a 2 hour drive is another 300k hockey mad residents.
If i were to invest in a hockey franchise, i know where i would be.
Posted Tuesday March 15, 2011, About: D'Antoni wants more from Big Three
Maybe they can ask Isiah Thomas for some quality help?
Then they can qualify for a lottery pick this year!
Posted Tuesday March 15, 2011, About: Raptors already thinking about UNC's Barnes
That's funny, i used to see the Raptors on TV lots when Carter played. Now the team sucks and will never get a lick of American coverage. If they get rid of Andrea, and get another scorer to compliment DeRozan, i would love to watch Toronto play.
Posted Wednesday March 09, 2011, About: Bosh: 'I am uncomfortable now'
Bosh claimed one of the reasons he moved to Miami was to get better press coverage.
Bosh now has all the national press he can handle!! Better hire a new publicist.
LOL
Posted Wednesday March 09, 2011, About: NHL losing grip on Coyotes?
I heard bettman makes 8 Million per year. The board of governors needs to take a look at the big picture and make a change. Moving the team back to Winnipeg will do nothing but put more fans in seats in a market that wants a team, not just "has a team".
Posted Thursday March 03, 2011, About: Van Gundy: Pistons are 'weak, childish'
I'm sure Piston's management would accept a buy out from the player's if they want to void their contracts, if they truly don't want to buy into the coach's program.
Posted Thursday March 03, 2011, About: Frye: Opponents aren't afraid of Garnett
I am shocked that there was NO SUSPENSION for that crap. I can not beleive this!!!!
What a piece of crap.
Posted Wednesday March 02, 2011, About: Coyotes deal falling apart?
It seems that Winnipeg would draw at least 14K - 15K per game. They were drawing that when they left. The fan base is there. It's not going anywhere. Lots of people from North Dakota and Northern Minesota also travelled to Winnipeg to see the games, much like people from all over the north midwest travel to watch the Vikings.
Posted Tuesday February 22, 2011, About: Sox GM proposes shutting game down to curb spending
This would be the sport where these salaries are most outrageous. Next, the dart throwers and curlers will be comanding $1 Million per year.
Baseball should be shut down for a couple of years and then brought back with team salaries, with bonuses for hitting certain win targets.
Posted Wednesday January 12, 2011, About: Anthony guarantees he's not leaving Denver ... yet
Carmelo (2011) = Vince (2004) good stats but not a winner.
Posted Monday December 27, 2010, About: Johnson fires back at LeBron
A lot of people are spewing "facts" about Toronto and it's fans and filling the Air Canada Centre. Even though they've had bad teams, and players like Mark Jackson and Alonzo did not report to the team once they were traded there. (I honestly don't know why), the city is only 4 hour drive from Detroit, 7 from Cleveland, 8 from NY/NJ. For the players who play there, they can't honestly say it's too far removed from an "american" city. When Vince was in his prime, EVERYBODY knew him and saw him play on american national TV. I did. And i'm stuck in the boondocks of North Dakota.
Posted Sunday December 12, 2010, About: Yankees fear they may be losing Lee
would it not be nice to have Lee and then some others balk at the stupid money, then sign for a team where their legacy can be more than a 1 or 2 year "yeah i was a good player for the Yankees"
