Windy City BLAKKHAWKZ YOOOOOOOO

Are you stupid? Do the words "ice surface" mean anything to you? And aren't you from ANAHEIM?!? If you're running a league that starts in April, you better have a game with the Anchorage Anchors visiting the Nunavut Minimalists, or you're going to be skating on slush with a super-ball puck. Tampa Bay and Dallas have been maligned for shitty ice surfaces in the beginning of the season and the postseason. The Not-The-Northlands Coliseum, up in Edmonton, is renowned for having a superb ice surface. Likewise, Edmonton is renowned for being pretty fucking cold in the winter. April?!? Come on! This is as "winter sport" as winter sports get! In case you didn't notice, AstroRink hasn't been invented yet, and they're playing on FREAKING ICE. FROZEN WATER. A PHENOMENON THAT TAKES PLACE IN WINTER. CANADIAN CHILDREN PLAY HOCKEY ON FROZEN PONDS, THEN GO INSIDE AND WATCH IT ON TV. Ice hockey in the summer. Don't insult people's intelligence.

More like "involving Medvedenko in the Los Angeles Lakers is just bad news," if you ask me.

Yeah. And I'm a Bulls fan. (Technically)

Okay let's get one thing straight here. You don't FUCK with John Stockton. John Stockton is the coolest basketball player ever because 1) He had the balls to wear short shorts 2) He defied the aging process like some only wish they could 3) He went to Gonzaga 4) He gave short white kids hope in an era of the NBA dominated by tall black guys 5)He didn't fuck around with agents, and just directly negotiated with management instead. Now THAT's cool.

Yeah, that's not at all hypocritical or anything. Jackass. But the death penalty for murder just seems so hypocritical. We were always taught that two wrongs don't make a right, but obviously in this country, that's not true at all. I see it as forfeiture of your right to life by way of taking someone else's against their will, so it's fine by me. I do agree that the People's Republic Of China does know how to get the job done: one bullet to the back of the head. Instantly and surely severing the brain from the spinal cord is a lot more humane than poisoning, suffocating, or electrocuting somebody to death, what with the substantial margin of error involved. I think a bullet to the back of the head at point-blank range erases all doubt. And here's what's really ridiculous: new lethal injection chambers come equipped with fucking TELEVISIONS! And I don't mean closed-circuit TVs for the family to watch on. I mean a TV for the condemned to watch as they're waiting for the injection to take effect! Wouldn't that suck, you're watching your favorite episode of CSI and right before they explain what happened, the sodium pentothal kicks in! Now you'll never know how he did it.

He's gonna throw out his back eating 36 donuts...

I DISAGREE. Bettman came in and tried to turn the NHL into "The NBA On Ice." He's not from the NHL front-office system, he's not a hockey fan, he's not even Canadian. Get him out of there. Woody Paige just had a great idea: eliminate the rest of the country from hockey and get back to what works: Canada, the Northeast, the Midwest, St. Louis, and the old Norris Division. Los Angeles too.

Too many posts were crashing the board every Monday. Yeah and we don't even discuss Raw anymore, we just play fill-in-the-blank with clangy pipes.

I hope you're not trying so say that a display of the Ten Commandments is idol worship.

David Arquette just won the Stanley Cup!

Shut up and skate already. Fire Bettman and put in someone who's as reactionary as they get and does everything but hit a giant reset button that puts us in 1994.

He always quotes himself, it's that thing he does. Like questions that end in periods and statements that end in exclamation points.

Where did Cabrera end up/projected to end up?

Damn right Nomar should stay here. And I don't know why Mia doesn't like our fine little town we have going.

This one? I liked the other face better. You know which one.

Which was most offensive to you?

Tonight on Raw, I learned the true meaning of the clangy pipes.

I don't like Damaramu using "we" for the Red Sox. I thought only Midwestern people could do that for Midwestern teams without looking foolish.

It's been 18 years and one day since the final Smiths concert.

This thread...was interesting? Perhaps yes? Perhaps no? Hi.

Didn't EVERYBODY root for the Pistons in the finals? I sure did.

The Cubs should've gotten Podsednik if we couldn't get Beltran.

Scott Peterson got traded to San Quentin of the California Penal League. Nobody has confirmed whether he will pitch or catch, though he has been warned by others that this league is death to play in.

1) I thought Vanessa was one of those half-Mexican part-Filapina/black/Italian/Jewish girls. 2) I know a girl who kids and can't be kidded back to.
