The Great Debate
With the arrival of summer, we are treated with warm weather, vacations, and football.
July marks the beginning of NFL Training camps, which in turn signals the start to the 2008 Fantasy Football season.
It’s never too early to start looking at those depth charts, cheat sheets, and magazines.
With all that info floating about, there will no doubt be many, many debates over a few drinks as to whom will be taken with the #1 pick.
Conventional fantasy wisdom says, “Take the running back with your first 2 picks. There aren’t many of them so stockpile while you can.”
Who is the best Home Run hitter of this generation?
WE WANT THE CUP
As the final moments ticked away in the 3rd period of game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals, the echos of “WE WANT THE CUP” filled Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
For Detroit and it’s fans, it was time to celebrate.
The champagne was chilled.
Champion T-shirts and hats unwrapped.
And Lord Stanley’s cup, itself, was placed in the Red Wings hallway.
For us Pens fans, the harsh reality of losing in the Finals was beginning to set in. We were losing 3-2, the clock was our enemy, and the 3rd period was one of the worst displays of offense in playoff history.
Where Have All The Good Times Gone?
Last week I was on cloud nine.
The Pittsburgh Penguins were going to their first Stanley Cup Finals since ’92.
Our offense, coming off a 6-0 whooping of Philadelphia, was dominant and clicking on all cylinders.
Our defense was the best in the playoffs.
Our goalie was a wall.
We were undefeated at home, and all we needed to do was snake a game in Detroit and the Cup would be ours.
Penguins gear was seen all over the Greater-Pittsburgh region. Signs adorned buildings and cars, and everyone was in a festive mood.
Can the Penguins win Game 3 at home?
Who has the edge, tied 2-2, in the Detroit v. Boston series?
Who wins the Stanley Cup?
Cup Finals
First I want to get something off of my chest. What on earth is ESPN doing by hiring Don Cherry?
No. 1, he is a complete moron and this can be seen by the horrendous outfits that he wears. Is he trying to be funny? Unique? Or is he just a complete idiot?
No. 2, How can you be analyze hockey when you can’t even pronounce the names of players and coaches. I understand hockey names are the most difficult to pronounce out of the major sports, but, come on, this is your job, you live in Canada, your life is hockey, how don’t you know the names.
D'Antoni not the right fit for Knicks
I understand that Mike D’Antoni was the trendy choice to be hired as the head coach for the Knicks, but his system does not fit their players.
D’Antoni’s offense is based around a frenetic pace with a point guard who is unselfish and is able to change the pace of the game to his likings and not give up the dribble.
AKA Steve Nash
Others fitting that description: Chris Paul, Tony Parker, Deron Williams
The Knicks point guards: Stephon Marbury and Nate Robinson.
