Spiny Norman's Comments

and for the record, Olaf Kolzig played on some pretty bad teams (sorry Slappy!)...so his "losing career playoff record" cannot be attributed to him. let's face it, he carried them into the finals and 'stood on his head" that whole playoff season, only to come away empty. Conversely, barasso and Osgood played on some pretty good teams. But quiet frankly, barasso never impressed me. And quite honestly, who one loses to in vezina voting is rather irrelevant. Puppa and Carey (who I regularly make fun of by the way) happened to have good seasons that year, and after all isn't what this is all about? Good season...you win....your name means nothing
As great as a goalie is/was, you cannot base a lot purely on their record. Take a look at someone like Hasek. before he got to Detroit, he had 0 Stanley Cups and almost certainly a losing playoff record...

Posted Thursday August 09, 2012, About: Bonds and the Hall... yea or nay?
Rose and Bonds are way different situations.
And for those that use the "eveybody was doing it" for Bonds, I say horsecrapola.
Bonds cheated, pure and simple

Posted Tuesday July 24, 2012, About: Greatest physical specimens in all of sports..
If I may, as far as I have ever seen?
Bo Jackson (maybe the best athlete ever?)
Herschel Walker
Jim Brown (has been said he was even better at lacrosse than football...that's scary)
Secrateriat
Forego (always carried the highest weight, always seemed to come on in the stretch)
Michael phelps
Martina Navratilova
the trouble is, Americans don't about anything they either didn't invent or can't win
it is in fact a very big story
when he wins, they call him Bristish...when he loses, they cll him Scottish...we get no respect

Posted Thursday June 28, 2012, About: Steriods never existed. Who's the best baseball player ever?
who knows what Josh Gibson would have done in the White League?
keep in mind, for every Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige, etc. there were certainly quite a few ham and eggers out there
Posted Thursday June 28, 2012, About: Steriods never existed. Who's the best baseball player ever?
Willie Mays, best allaround player ever, I think.
lots of what if's (Junior stays healthy, Gerhig doesn't have the bad luck of catching a disease named after him)
Roberto Clemente anyone?
And pitchers have to be in the discussion, albeit a seperate issue.
exactly...any qb would have a week to throw back there
I can think of, off the top of my head: (based solely on college, right?)
Mich.
Penn State
USC
U of Miami
Alabama
Ole Miss
Florida
Texas (longhorns)
for certain
add in:
Auburn
UCLA
LSU
Texas A&M
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State as maybes
Any one of them beats FSU, I think in an all time team matchup
everyone on ESPN should just go away...as should ESPN
