    Desert Island Draft: Movie Edition

    The Matrix (Wachowski, 1999) The most visually stimulating movie I've ever watched. And the story is really good, too. Rocky (Avildsen, 1976) If it's not the greatest sports movie ever made, it's certainly near the beginning of the conversation.

    DAMMIT! I KNEW I should've taken this last round.

    You bastard. Now I don't know what my second pick will be. For that matter, now I'm not sure what I want my first pick to be.

    The NHL all-time draft

    Don't feel bad, I had Chara picked last round (also in a Sens jersey) until I changed my mind at the last minute.

    2008 NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Celtics

    I'm amazed the Celtics aren't up by 20 or more, what with them having three extra guys on the court at all times.

    RIP Jim McKay

    This is a sad day, indeed. McKay was one of the first sports voices I can remember, on Wide World of Sports. From ESPN.com:

    I think that's probably why the first match was the best. They didn't hate each other at the time, and they were able to have a really nice back-and-forth match. Whereas with the ironman match, neither guy seemed to want to give anything to the other, and the last, well, you know.

    Star Trek: The Next Generation The best of the Treks, IMO.

    Oh, very good. I always thought that was the best match of the three.

    Desert Island Draft

    You know, I hadn't thought of late night talk shows, but since we're on the subject... Late Night with David Letterman I taped this every single night when I was a teenager. Absolute genius.

    The NHL all-time draft

    All right, I'll start by taking one of the greatest defensive forwards of all time, winner of the first four Selke Trophies, a Conn Smythe winner, a seven-time Cup winner as player and GM, and a Hall of Famer: Bob Gainey, LW And the greatest mustache in NHL history: Lanny McDonald, RW

    Damn, Roger was my sleeper coach, too. And I was hoping Serge Savard would slip to me. Need to do some research...back in a few.

    I want a really long match, and a Rock match. This qualifies on both counts: Iron Man match for the WWF Championship: The Rock [c] vs. Triple H, Judgment Day, May 21, 2000 The video package for this was just fantastic, too.

    The NFL All-Time Draft.

    I've started building the D-line, now it's time to start building the O-line. No, this is NOT the head coach. Art Shell, OT 8x Pro Bowl selection (1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980) 7x All-Pro selection (1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978) 2-time Super Bowl winner (XI, XV) NFL 1970s All-Decade Team Played in 207 of 212 games from 1968 to 1982 (156 consecutive, then 51 consecutive) Elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989

    I was saving it for the same reason, but that was just the kind of match that Al's liable to take.

    Desert Island Draft Thread

    All right, it's probably too early to take this match, but I'd be mad at myself if I didn't get it. So, I'll grab the greatest match in this show's history... Randy Savage vs. Bret Hart, airdate November 28, 1987

    I can't tell you how many matches are running through my head right now.

    Al actually had Austin/Dude as his backup pick last time around, in case I picked one of the matches he ended up choosing. So it was on a few people's minds.

    2008 Stanley Cup Finals

    If I had to pick one final that didn't involve a Canadian team at the outset, I think this would be the one I'd pick. Should be a very interesting series. I don't really have a rooting interest -- you have the quitter Hasek on one side, and Gary Fucking Roberts on the other. The two teams did not play each other during the regular season. Game 1, May 24 -- Pittsburgh at Detroit, 8 p.m. Game 2, May 26 -- Pittsburgh at Detroit, 8 p.m. Game 3, May 28 -- Detroit at Pittsburgh, 8 p.m. Game 4, May 31 -- Detroit at Pittsburgh, 8 p.m. *-Game 5, June 2 -- Pittsburgh at Detroit, 8 p.m. *-Game 6, June 4 -- Detroit at Pittsburgh, 8 p.m. *-Game 7, June 7 -- Pittsburgh at Detroit, 8 p.m.

    NFL Offseason Thread

    The steroid dealer who cooperated with the feds about his suppliers, and with the NFL about his customers, was just found shot dead in his home, as well as his girlfriend: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3427526 That's pretty chilling stuff. I'd like to think this could sober up some of the players about what they're getting themselves into, but I'm not that naive.
