The Czech Republic

I read that as: "I hope the same goes for Hartford, as the city still owns the rights to all things Wanker." Well the Whalers were wankers when it came to playing any good.

Evidently Chicago, because at NBA.com, though his last team was the Mavericks, he's listed as a Bull.

Very good question. I heard Winnipeg just opened up a new downtown arena...maybe by next year they'll have a team. I hope the same goes for Hartford, as the city still owns the rights to all things Whaler.

I'll try it. By the way, somewhere on my computer there's a "lost episode" of 1890s Raw, Draft Lottery Edition that never got posted because I didn't feel it lived up to Kane tying Jim Ross to a railroad track as opposed to burning him after a heart-to-heart interview.

And pollute Hardcore Discussion with useless crap? Actually you may be on to something with probationary periods...instaed of the waiting period we have now, actually have an evulation period to make sure you're not an idiot. But then are we getting too elite?

Oh by the way, here are some fightin' words from the WHA's history page: "...most of the teams had unusual uniform colors and styles. Yet while considered gaudy by many at the time, hideously coloured and designed uniforms are now commonplace in the NHL." "It was the WHA that came up with the idea of putting electronic chips into the pucks so they would show up and streak on TV. It was an awful idea in the 70’s and, ironically, an awful idea in the 90’s when FOX and the NHL tried it out."

NOT HASEK! NO! He'll decide he doesn't like it and midway through his 15th or so game, his knee will magically fold up. I thought Ray Emery was the next big thing in net for the Sens. But anyway, yeah fuck the NHLPA. Your contracts are exorbitant and you don't warrant them, outside of a very very select few. They really crossed the Rubicon with all the big-money contracts a few years ago and now they're paying for it. I wish the WHA well. I'm glad that Quebec has a team again...here's hoping they go with good ol' powder blue and the fleur-de-lis, despite the fact that the Nordiques name and logo probably isn't in reach. However, I don't know if those are the best eight cities to put teams in. Detroit may be Hockeytown, but I'm worried they'll shit on a team that doesn't have a red sweater with a winged wheel on the front. Toronto is the same, as a city so dedicated to the Maple Leafs probably won't jump to a second team. With Jacksonville and Orlando, now every major city in the state undeservingly has a major-league team...great. But Hamilton and Halifax are deserving cities and I wish their teams the best as they compete in markets that the NHL screwed over in favor of Nashville or Atlanta. If we're lucky, the WHA will get a second wave of expansion and pick up Hartford, Winnipeg, and other cities they missed.

I'm guessing the capacity of the Metro Centre is between 10,000 and 15,000? But 15,000 a night, supposedly that wasn't even enough for the Whalers to stay in Hartford, but then again, the whole move to North Carolina was a pretty shady one. I'm looking at you, N.C. State.

Is ther anyone else out there who argued for reopening registrations that now feels like a total putz?

Mole might as well shave his head completely. Then he should wear a track suit and say "innit!" a lot.

What? '96 Bulls? Yeah, thanks.

Hm. The first 3-peat had John Paxson, Horace Grant, and B.J. Armstrong, all good players. Bulls Mark 2 had Dennis Rodman, Toni Kukoc, and Steve Kerr alongside MJ and Scottie. I gotta say the first was better because of the teams they beat in the Finals.

I miss Eagleman and those two old men who said "Where you always save more money." But those are strictly local. The President Of Beers commercial is only good for "This is a travesty, and a sham, and a mockery! It's a traveshamockery! Burgle-flickle!"

No PDAs!

I knew a guy who would drink freakin' Creatine Kool-Aid every day, like two Nalgene bottles full of the stuff. Yeah, he was huge, but I think there were days when he's spend entire class periods in the bathroom vomiting.

Feel free to actually post content, guy

Tony should keep his sunglasses on at all times, he's got unfortunate eyebrows or SOMETHING...my sister was around when I was watching the Cubs blow out St. Louis and when he came up to the mound and took the shades off she was liek AHH!

Policeman/Huggins dialogue, courtesy of Pardon The Interruption: "How long have you been drinking?" "No sir" Smashed.

Well that's because Donovan F. McNabb is never at fault. If those stupid receivers weren't getting blocked, maybe he wouldn't throw so many interceptions!

'96 Bulls and '98 Yankees will top the list, I'm sure one of the 80s Oilers teams will make it on, same with a recent Red Wings.

If it's on a pole below the American flag it's permissible. If it's by itself, then it is offensive.

This is the best idea I have ever heard. I mean...wow. Just wow. I'd kill to see him hunting down Dennis DeYoung with a bow and arrow.

I've been hearing this rumor for years, mostly due to Cheney's health, the idea being Rudy in '08. But I'm going to vote for Bill Frist when the time comes.

And at James Polk High School, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game. The man is simply connected to greatness.

I understand why it should be okay to have a Confederate flag and all, but part of me just feels icky about supporting that notion. Anyhow, I guess if you're a Southerner who takes a lot of pride in your heritage, then I guess it's permissible, but quite frankly, I don't know why I see so many Confederate flags in WISCONSIN. Those are just racist and ignorant jerks taking advantage of freedom of expression.
