Me too. I had a 3-1 lead at one point today, but my match-up this week comes down to Cincy not losing by more than 3.5 tomorrow. Your win over my division leader, however, gives me a little hope.

You've got your wish. Frank D'Angelo, head of SteelBack Beer has submitted a bid. Phil Esposito has been a spokesperson for them for a while now, and has been kinda acting as a middle man. This on the heels of D'Angelo's failed bid to buy the Ottawa Renegades about two weeks ago. He mentioned this in his press release, the great marketability of SteelBack in the Steel City. Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal win, Buffalo loses. That's a good night of hockey. Star Ocean, at least you actually previewed a game this time.

Wrestling announcers need not be characters, but should absolutely have a face or heel distinction. As such, JBL is the second best announcer in wrestling (behind JR. Stale and bad aren't neccessarily the same thing). The reasoning behind this? Face announcers can put over faces and vice versa. How can I get behind a guy like Sylvan or Hussan when both announcers are putting him down? Jerry Lawler is the most guilty of this crime....anyone remember him getting behind long-time enemy Bret Hart in 1997?

Huh? You mean like try to get over as faces after being heel? Those lyrics are awesome..."From Montreal to Memphis, parlez-vous francais?" is now my msn name.

How does that go, lyrics-wise? All American Boys for two guys from Quebec?

All three of us except for Verne are at 5-8....If Verne wins, loser of your game is out, and I'm in the same boat. If you two could tie, that would be ideal, I think.

Anyone vote for All-Stars? More specifically, anyone vote for Rory Fitzpatrick?

San Francisco Dallas Baltimore Green Bay Houston Jacksonville Buffalo) N.Y. Jets N.Y. Giants Pittsburgh Chicago Washington Denver San Diego Oakland Cincinnati I'm worried I went to the well too often on "They'll win but not cover", especially with games with a 3.5 spread. We'll see. St. Louis scores 19. Good luck, all.

I did too...although, I think subconsicously, a lot of it had to do with seeing Michaels lose the strap.

Orr-Harvey Park-Bourque Coffey-Chelios Niedermayer Edit: Give me Potvin instead of Chelios, and send Big Bird a condolence card for coming in at #8.

You fuckin left out Lemieux and Howe! Sid the Kid has taken the lead with a six (!) point night. I still think my favourite player Iggy will take the Ross, but if Crosby can add five assists on a team that can score eight goals but will stil miss the playoffs...wow.

On a similar note to the last line, I just re-watched the last ten minutes of the last Raw before Wrestlemania 13, the cage match between Sid and Bret, in which Taker slams the door on Bret's head, allowing Sid to escape. What followed was Bret knocking Vince down, droppping a few "bullshit" and "god damn"....What I always forget about that 15 minutes was that Bret called out Austin, citing "everybody in that god damned dressing room knows Im the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be"....Sid then came to the ring yelling "I DON'T KNOW SHIT!" Thought that warranted a mention.

^ They certainly can. My grandfather has been blind since he was eighteen, and he's now sixty. He's worked at the St. Catharines General Hospital for over 40 years now, the last ten of that running the general store. He's had very very few dishonest customers ( I can only remember one), and a computerized machine to feel the weight of change and announce what it is...that he doesn't need to use very often. There's an exceptionally big difference between blind and stupid. What's so hard about braille?

I'M a jinx. Boston pulls with 90 seconds and scores with 53 to play...I think York got it, but I'm not positive. 4-3. EDIT: Time expires, and the Habs hang on 4-3. The guy doing the English broadcast in Montreal said, and I quote: "Patience pays off and the Habs get the win. What more could Habs friends and family ask for?"

Savard has two goals. Both on the PP. Tied in La Belle Province at deuce with fifteen to go. Buffalo's up late, Toronto and Tampa are tied to start the third, and Ottawa's up 3-2 with fifteen to play.

Watch the top one, the "reverse tombstone" as it's labelled. You'll mark.

From a mark standoint, fuccccccccccccccccccccccck yes!

I've been hanging out in your loft since 2002, and this is the first I've heard about it. Meagan gets the floor next time. Bastard. Jorts = Jean Shorts. Does anyone here ever make their bed, ever? I can honestly say I don't.

When was that announced? Every link I'd seen since Friday had said "unknown"...What a god damned shame for both the Kessel and Gainey families. I'm not expecting an very exciting game tonight between the B's and Habs with heavy hearts afoot.

My roomate wanted to go to the laundromat and to get beer earlier, and she doesn't drive. I NEVER wear pants around the house, always track shorts or jorts. Today's pair was about three sizes too small, so I fit in them, but the zipper on them wasn't going anywhere. I went into the beer store with my jorts wide open because I was too lazy to change into pants.

Conan had a great joke about him a few years ago in his monologue: Lionel Ritchie was helped security break up a fight earlier this week in a London night club. The fight likely would not have broken out had Ritchie got everyone's orders right in the first place.

Washington squanders a FOUR goal lead and loses in a shootout to Pittsburgh. Ovechkin, Crosby and Malkin all with two points. Since it'll be best appreciated here, Cindy Klassen wins the '06 Lou Marsh.

Alright, Baron - The door is wide open for you to blatantly rip off that book I loaned you in parts of 2004 and 2005 and make a joke about Greater/Metro Toronto. And as long as we're picking Ocean's post apart, why the fuck does Portland need a team? Without getting into it for the umpteenth time, Winnipeg, Hartford and Quebec City could handle a team again, I'd argue Atlantic Canada could support one, Cleveland doesn't seem like a ridiculous option, and most of all, the team that would most likely wind up in Portland, Pittsbugh, has some legs growing under it. The NHL should focus on getting ownership for them, like they did with Buffalo and Ottawa, then worrying about Portland.

Do you mean LAX? I don't remember Los Boricuas having any kind of special entrance. I meant Los Boricuas.It wasn't anything insanely unique, but they would often sing (or convincingly lip-sync) their entrance with mics on the way to the ring.It's not like it'd had never been done before, but it fit the characters well, and was far less annoying than ICP doing the Oddities....and the less said of Men on a Mission, the better. My bad, but, and I don't mean to sound like a dick, UTSU, but I think you overlooked what I just requoted when you replied.
