At least he's finally figured out that Lewis wrote Moneyball and not Billy Beane.

I'm not so sure about that. Without saying it explicitly, Meltzer really made it seem like they've buried themselves completely and politics will keep them held down.

It's like Joe Morgan has taken over the Smart Marks. A-Rod hating Yankees fans make me smile. Spoiled brats.

For one thing the Yankees would have missed the playoffs last year for the first time since 1995.

Meltz alluded to Nitro and Melina pissing off the locker room really badly. Both suspended legit, apparently.

What's the story behind your sig, vampiro69?

Sounds like a nice gesture, but I'm not sure that Rickey smokes anymore.

I read a week or two ago that Onterrio Smith DID sign with a CFL team.

I didn't see the game, but didn't Springer throw at him repeatedly until he finally plunked him, even after being warned?

What do you mean by "historically owned"? If you are referring to last year, Phoenix was a little better and Dallas was a little worse... you can't really compare the two. If Dallas makes it to the next round, they probably won't get pushed passed 6 games by either team.

But there was no way that Owen was going to be able to sustain that heat. He was okay for a holdover feud, but Owen just wasn't main event level material. Things turned out fine the way they were.

Not really... Magic was a key component on a very good team. That was Kareem's team and Magic just happened to be a very talented point guard that exceled in a good situation. He's remembered for the Game 6 performance (the best of his career), but it wasn't as if he had done a whole lot to that point (or at least nothing on the scale that Lebron has done individually). He wasn't even the Rookie of the Year. Also, the 1980-81 season (which I think was Magics age 21 season) was one of the more disappointing Lakers seasons ever. They didn't even make it out of the first round of the playoffs.

As a sidenote to this discussion, does anyone prefer Game 6s to Game 7s? That element of one team fighting to stay alive against a team trying to close out and not lose their momentum is so much more interesting to me than one and done. Dallas and Cleveland have a lot to prove tomorrow. If they really want to step up to that next level, the time is now.

Bullshit. Kid Rock has a lot of talent and gets shit on for no real reason.

I'm not really advocating the guy either way, but that's a damn fine resume if you want to make the case. If you're going to bother calling it a pro football hall of fame and not the NFL hall of fame, you should probably have the best CFLer of all time in there.

It's been a big story, but I've just sort of been glossing over it lately because I don't think there's a case. I think the DA blew this one bad.

Actually, British law gives the woman 1/4th, but you're point stands nonetheless. I believe I hear that this will be the biggest divorce settlement ever.

If it isn't the new ECW is in a lot of trouble.

I feel stupid coming in late and reiterating the same points that have been made, but winning a closeout game on your home floor against the best team in the league with absolutely no bigtime playoff experience is the definition of pressure. They have the Pistons on the rope and if they don't finish them off now, they are D-O-N-E in Game 7. I can't believe this is even being argued. Games 3 and 4 are meaningless compared to what the Cavs are facing now.

If you are going to call it the PRO football HOF and not have the best player ever from the Canadian Football League, then what's the point? Not that he will make it, but I would say Flutie is a no-brainer. This was a fairly big topic the other day on the Sportsbash. The host, Eric Kuselias, tried to start an argument that Flutie belonged in. The only problem was almost no one called or wrote in with a dissenting opinion. Most of the audience generally supported the idea.

$375 million.... Paul is an idiot for not having a pre-nup. Besides, shouldn't she get some sort of prorated share. After all, she's only about half a person. Yeah I went there.

I just heard on ESPN radio this morning that the Saints sold 55,000 season tickets this year (a club record), most of which came after they drafted Reggie Bush. Good for the team and good for the city. Poor Texans.

We are going to get a chance to see what Lebron is made of in Game 6. The Cavs have to close out at home of they are finished with a capital F going to Detroit for the final game. I have to say, Lebron is amazing. I even underestimated how one great player can carry a squad on his back. This would be the first series that I didn't see the outcome coming from in a mile away in as many years as I can remember. All hail the '06 playoffs!

Um, did you look at their numbers? Its not like this was Malik Rose getting first place votes. Those guys both put up incredible numbers this year. I could give a shit less about numbers. If you vote Marion over Dirk or Lebron, you have no business voting on these things. It's as simple as that. Allen Iverson didn't make the playoffs. Let me say that again... didn't make the playoffs... in the NBA... everyone makes the playoffs in the NBA. He doesn't deserve first team, especially over guys like Nash, Kobe, Chauncey and D-Wade, who were all MVP candidates.

It makes as much sense as Battlebots on Comedy Central or Cartoon Network showing live action movies. Par for the course, I guess. Or Saved by the Bell on Adult Swim. Sci-Fi seems kind of a dark corner of Cable though, where all the freaks get sent. Not really a wrestling base. Seems like a match made in heaven to me.
