The Czech Republic

Panthers, Jaguars, New Browns, Texans.

I agree. It seems like the Cowboys really were, for the longest time, larger than life, larger than the league itself, America's Team. Now four expansion teams and a salary cap later, they're just another team with a hole in the roof.

Okay listen. Bash the Colts. Bash anyone you want. But you don't bash Woody Paige. No matter what.

Not even being the Super Bowl is going to get me to watch the Super Bowl. Patriots have already beaten the Panthers just like the Bears had already beaten the Patriots in '85.

So let's see: Eagles: three consecutive NFC championship defeats Flyers: Years and years of second and third-round exits 76ers: Strong for the East and lost to the Lakers one year Phillies: good but assfucked in a division with Braves, Marlins, and even Expos

The city of Philadelphia must have the worst case of athletic-achievement blue balls.

But for every person like you there's someone that wants that one dominant team... There's gotta be a happy medium between one team running the show from start to finish, and all these nothing teams coming out of nowhere to miraculously pull it all off (both Carolinas, both Anaheims, the Marlins, etc)

There you have it: don't let the Pittsburgh Penguins end up with the Montreal Maroons.

Well this is exactly what we need. I don't want to go off on a rant here, but the concept of Dennis Miller hosting a talk show on CNBC makes about as much sense as a poodle having sex with a Rottweiler in right field of Yankee Stadium on the evening of Pentecost. I mean, when you consider the inherent dearth of conservatism in American media, one has to ponder the ramifications of a presumptuous investment like this. It's fuckin' crazy. Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. I wish Dennis Miller the best of luck, by the way.

The Penguins can't leave Pittsburgh. You can't look back in the record books, go to 1992, and see the Cup won by a team that's not around anymore.What's the last Stanley Cup-winning team to leave its city, stop existing? The Ottawa Silver Seven? Seattle Metropolitans?

Didn't Rhino say he'd make somebody "shit their face"? A phrase that must go is "here comes the pain." My sentiments on its connotations have been well documented. A phrase that must return is "whattamaneuver!"

Hey remember when I said I wasn't sure what the worst era of the NFL is? It's now. The boring as hell New England Patriots somehow winning, and the Eagles trying to out-do Buffalo's record of postseason futility, with Super Bowls like Oakland-Tampa and Baltimore-New York that have nothing interesting about them. I actually liked the 90s with Steve Young's 49ers as a kid.

Well that's what it's gonna be then. San Antonio and Jersey, Anaheim and Jersey, Florida and the Yankees, all we need is Panthers and Patriots to complete four straight Finals In Which Nobody Gives A Flying Fuck.

Baseball: when the White Sox had collars and all those absurd 70s fashions. Basketball: Strike until now Hockey: Strike until now (Bettman DOES have to be just like the NBA!) Football: not sure

They can all start with P: Panthers, Patriots, Philly, and Peyton.

Peter Angelos endorsed Hampton Roads as a site. If you figure they expand their AAA park to 20,000 seats and do well every game, that's still better than they would've done in Montreal, and probably better than Florida has been doing as well.

Kids, kids, please... Rico has improved vastly since coming here. I don't know why you're going after him so hard, Sandman. I suggest you all just drop it because board drama is pathetic.

even better: batteries IN snowballs!

All we have to do is restore the NHL of the mid 90s when Toronto competed in the west, with Detroit and Chicago. That's how it should be.

By the way the decision I was talking about was Selig and Co. proclaiming that paperwork was completed to move the Expos and have a new site ready by 2005. Go Hampton Roads in all of this if it means they can make another Pacific Bell Park there.

With Vegas the name can stay, you just change it from Exposition to Exploitation. Personally I'm inclined to believe they'll stay in the east, so Hampton Roads and Washington have the best chances.

Obviously you've never met a golf fan.

Since it's official now that they're out of Montreal after September, I'm posing the question of whether or not the Expos moniker should stick around in the new city. The last team to move were the Washington Senators, who became the Texas Rangers. Things to consider: 1. Potential new homes are D.C., Portland, Monterrey, San Juan, and Hampton Roads 2. So many teams wear red, white, and blue, and they might want to re-establish themselves. 3. None of these places hosted a World's Fair. 4. The "eMb" logo Suggestions: Portland Roses, Rosebuds, Cascades Washington Senators, Federals, Nationals Hampton Roads Gales, Gulls, Promontories

I think Ditka is the answer too. I also maintain that had Thomas, Urlacher, McQuarters, Miller and company re-recorded the Super Bowl Shuffle, they would be much better off.
