I can answer a couple right now: 1. I doubt it, given that he's already said he'll sit out a year unless the perfect job comes along. If the Chargers fire Norv, that'd be a possibility, but I doubt that'd happen, and I'm not even sure he'd be interested. 3. Probably a fair bit, but I doubt he'll even hit the open market, as San Diego won't be keen to repeat the mistake they made in getting rid of Michael Turner, especially with Tomlinson taking as steep a drop as he did. I'd expect Sproles to get a new contract fairly soon.

My last pick: Freddy Deeb

... Walked right into that one, didn't I?

Oh, no doubt. The glory days have definitely passed. There's not one thing this team does consistently well.

I have to wonder just how accidental that is. Hamas doesn't care who gets killed in this conflict. Worse, they seem to want more of their own people dead because they believe it will further their cause.

Eugene Melnyk denied reports that he was going to clean house in Ottawa. Which, of course, means it should be happening any day now. Maybe a blowout in Boston tonight will speed things up.

Or, I have a degree in statistics and 10 years experience in the field, and I know that probability and odds measure the exact same thing, and are just expressed differently (as your example showed). One or the other. To lay the argument to rest (God, I hope so), the Cardinals having a 50/50 chance of winning assumes both outcomes (winning and losing) are equally likely, which I think we can all agree is not the case.

WILLIAMS REGION Dr. Venkman - Canadian vote. Incandenza - He's good people. Cheech - Baseball vote. Slayer - I see lots more of him in the sports folder. Anyone who's a Vikings fan can't be bad. SCOOTER REGION Kinetic - Had a good year. Canadian Chris - Hopefully I can make a run to the sweet 16 before the inevitable crushing by Kinetic. Bored - Baseball vote, although mellow is an excellent poster and will likely win this matchup. Edwin MacPhisto - Terrific poster. Insightful and usually good for a laugh (in a good way). POPICK REGION Smartly Pretty - Hockey vote. Smues - No trouble voting for him this round. Great poster, great mod. King Kamala - One of the best posters on the forum. Al Keiper - More knowledgeable about baseball than anyone else I know. ADMIN REGION CanadianGuitarist - Canadian vote, and fellow Jays fan. Treble - See above. 909 - Hockey/baseball/football/whatever vote. One of the best all around in the Sports folder. Lord of the Curry - Canadian vote.

And that's why he got the penalty.

No, they're not. No, it's not. It's exactly the same. Good idea.

Do you also hate slam dunks and foreign hockey players? Slam dunks are cool. My favorite team's rival is composed almost entirely of Swedes and various strains of Slavs, so yes on that one! But really, aren't Tebow and all these spread option guys just gonna get steamrolled against NFL defenses? What's the point of doing this razzle-dazzle gimmick stuff that doesn't work at the highest level when you're a developmental league for the highest level? It's a distraction. Run pro offenses. College coaches will do whatever helps them win the most. They don't give a shit about preparing guys for the NFL. Over 95 percent of the players won't make it to the NFL anyway.

Obviously.

Or it could have been the fact that he tried to gouge Ruutu's eye out beforehand. Not that I care what happens to that piece of shit anyway after he tried to beat up our goalie 2 years ago. He should get penalties for just stepping onto the ice. Well that was Ruutu's story. The league disagreed and suspended him for 2 games. I'm not saying he didn't bite him. I'm saying Peters certainly wasn't the innocent bystander there.

Well, see, the top of the board is normally that folder, so I always just skip down a section or two. At least I made it in time for the first round this year!

I need to pay more attention, I had no idea this was even happening. Clearly I need to board harder. No time for long explanations.

At least if it falls on 71, there can't be a tie in the second tiebreaker as well. That'd be a little messy.

Hardly play at all right now, but I still keep up with what's happening. When I do play, I'm at PokerStars. Tom "durrrr" Dwan

There's one vote for me!

There's no rule that says each team has to be represented at the All-Star Game anymore.

I could do with those games never seeing the light of day again.

Time to start bringing out the heavy artillery...best Phil in the world besides Ivey imo: Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond

That was the biggest chokejob I've ever seen. Hansen had that tournament locked down.

I think the only way Ohio State can win this game is to hold Texas under 20, since they have absolutely no shot at beating them in a shootout, but I just can't see any defence being able to do that.

Just once I'd like a team to get even halfway to an undefeated season (or a 72-win season in the NBA or what have you) before the media starts to seriously speculate about it. I know they're just trying to give themselves something to talk about, but all it does is make them look stupid when something like this happens.
