What's this? Miracle on Ice. Tikhonov (the Russian head coach) pulled Tretiak (arguably the greatest goalie of all the times) after the Americans scored a bit of a soft goal near the end of the first period. Totally boneheaded move.

The Packers don't pick until 9. I can definitely see him going in the 6-8 range.

He'd be insane not to take that. It's virtually impossible for him to get any more money than that. Apparently the player option was something Boras was insisting on.

I thought of this, but I'm not sure of who they'd take that high. Maualuga? Tyson Jackson? I don't see BJ Raji getting past Green Bay unless they really like Everette Brown. If he does, Denver will be all over him, since they're going to implement a 3-4 under their new coach. I honestly don't see Raji even making it to Green Bay. I'm really hoping they'll try to trade up to get him, because he would be a perfect fit in Denver. If not, I've heard good things about Jackson. Maualuga may be slipping a bit from what I've read. I saw one article that suggested Animal Jr., but that seems like a real reach.

Wasn't it VX's pick now?

That was the other city I was seriously considering besides Detroit and Dallas.

Dallas was the other city I was considering, and I was definitely going to be based in the new Cowboys Stadium and the Sportatorium as well.

All right, my choice was between Hogan and this guy, and honestly, I was hoping Hogan would be taken. My pick is a proven draw, a guy who can bring it both in the ring and on the mic, and versatile enough to be an extremely effective face or heel. There's not a single person I can think of that couldn't have great main-event level matches with him. And, in an added bonus, he happens to be my favourite wrestler of all time. The centrepiece of my promotion: "Macho Man" Randy Savage My promotion will be based out of Detroit, using Ford Field as the base for big events, and Joe Louis Arena for smaller ones.

Well, I got half of what I wanted...Chicago was the venue I was targeting. Pick coming soon.

YES.

No chance does this happen. The Broncos are fine at RB with the guys that are coming back, last season was a complete freak occurrence. If Denver doesn't go defence in the first two rounds at least, I'm driving there and punching Brian Xanders in the face.

It was a shitty finisher, so I'm hoping the answer is no.

After Grady Little (always the first thing that comes to mind for this topic), John McNamara not taking Buckner out of Game 6 for Dave Stapleton has to rank right up there.

Hey, me too!

Because they lost the TV contract with the PGA Tour, but still had 3 years left on their contract with the R&A (expires this year). That's due to CBS' college basketball commitments.

280. Can't seem to break through.

That's funny, I was in Key West 3 weeks ago and couldn't stop thinking how incredibly overrated it was. Tacky T-shirt shops as far as the eye could see.

Good episode last night. I probably would've done the Segway over the pie throwing, that had to be pretty uncomfortable racing the rest of the leg with dried pie all over you. Victor is already working my last nerve with his sing-song ways.

Oklahoma lost AND Griffin's out with a concussion. Not a good turn of events for the Sooners. Pitt is all but assured of being #1 on Monday, especially with Carolina losing again.

Larry Miller (Utah Jazz owner) died. No one had him.

Regarding Montreal, I swear I saw this exact story play out here in Ottawa last year. Hot start, shaky goaltending, late season swoon, infighting amongst the team...next thing you know, Carbonneau will get fired and the Canadiens will get swept out in the first round by the Bruins. OK, we didn't have a mobster story here, but with Emery, I would've believed it could have happened.
