#4 is McGwire breaking Maris' record.

The Razor pose I expected, mostly because he has the same equipment as Giguere, and that's the same pose that Giguere had in the series that he was released in (Series 6, I believe.) I like the pose, personally, because it fits Andrew's style.

I might get the Marty, but that's not for sure.

Reagan and Gourbachev would have done exactly what they did in the 80s regardless of who won an olympic hockey game.. And that's your opinion.

Boourns. Soriano "tags" Dave Roberts and throws to first to end the game. Only problem, he missed Roberts by at least a foot. Boourns.

Just a quick photoshop...

Officially, 2. I think he was included in a Maple Leafs three pack that, ironically, wasn't released in Canada.

Meh. I still think it transcends all lines of sports and goes directly into the political world.

It castrated them where it counted though. It might not be a solid link, but it's not a myth made up by the sports media.

That's total nonsense, and a myth perpetuated by the sports media to make it sound like an event that transcends sports and into world history. How so? It basically castrated the Soviets where it counted...in their domination of the Americans. It spread confidence throughout the country, which made the Americans confident elsewhere in the world.

http://tsn.ca/world_cup_hockey/news_story.asp?id=97378 Hull gets scratched, along with Conroy and Rolston. Langenbrunner, Smolinski and Halpern will get starts in their places. Rick DiPietro will start against Slovakia. Well, looks like it's Canada in the elimination round for the USA.

Remember how mad you get at the Yankees sometimes? Imagine that times five for me, plus all of the fans that will feel dicked over if it's not in the top 3. Not only is it the most important moment of the last 25 years in the sports world, it's one of the key events that led to the Cold War ending.

No particular order. I realize that four of them are based on characters from books, but hey, what can you do? Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck, To Kill A Mockingbird) Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin, LOTR series) Grimm (Bill Murray, Quick Change) Brad Hamilton (Judge Reinhold, Fast Times at Ridgemont High) Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins, Shawshank Redemption)

I bring into question the motives of the Cubs players. I think they're looking to blame somebody for the fact that they've been underachieving all season. I don't tend to watch many Cubs games, but from what I remember of Stone/Caray, they're both good announcers with no hidden agenda. I think Alou takes himself WAY too seriously, Remlinger needs to take his head out of his ass, and Baker needs to tell his players "Look, who fucking CARES what the announcers are saying?! WE SHOULD BE IN CONTENTION FOR THE DIVISION!" Look at other teams and their relationship with the announcers. I watch mostly NESN and their main announce team is Orsello/Remy. They praise opposing players for good plays, good performances, as well as poke a little bit of fun at Red Sox players. For instance, Remy brought up Manny hitting well in the month of August and Orsillo chimed in "Do you think Manny even knows what month it is? Or if Nomar's gone?" When last I checked, Manny didn't have a hissy fit and call into the booth to rip the announcers. He went out and did his job. Alou is being paid 9.5 million dollars this season and he's acting like a fucking two year old. The Cubs would be smart to rid themselves of him in the off-season, which will likely be sooner for them, because I don't think a team this unfocused on baseball will be successful come stretch time.

I hate Crapplebees, but enjoy restaurants like it, like Chilis and Ruby Tuesday. If it were up to me to pick a place to eat though, I'd pick the 99. I wish we had a 99 down here.

US is fucked if they lose to Slovakia, which I see happening. Slovakia has two of the elite wingers in the NHL with combinations of speed and unbelievable ability. Who on the US team is going to cover Hossa and Gaborik? Tkachuk?! BWAHAHAHAHAHA I agree about Esche. He's the only reason that these games are even competitive. If DiPietro starts, US will lose and lose badly. Playing Canada in Canada, might as well pencil the US in for at least a four goal loss. Agreed about Gonchar. It's been a horrendous off-season for the Bruins and had it been effected by a fucking loser like Tkachuk, I don't think I could be held responsible for my actions.

Well, at least we don't have to worry about Gretzky being outranked by a girl playing in a men's golf event.

Cubs v. Marlins will likely be cancelled this weekend. Franny is a pretty big storm, and will likely be here all weekend. I'm confident going into the Rangers v. Red Sox tonight. Pedro gets the ball tonight, he's done well in recent starts. Wakefield has me a tad worried because he got shelled last time against Texas. Schilling is coming off an excellent start against Anaheim. The offense has found itself recently, although Papi missed last night's game with a shoulder injury caused by flopping into home. I'm anticipating 2/3 from Texas, and going strong into Oakland with Arroyo/Lowe/Pedro.

Part of me is getting a sneaking suspicion that the Miracle on Ice is not going to be on this list... I swear, if it's another useless moment from the NFL...killing spree

Yanks problem is that no longer do they have the starter to put out there that can get them that win that they NEED. I trust Hernandez in that situation. Interesting...

They sell better because ESPN's game last year was simular price, but nobody knew what it was about, so nobody bought it.

Because they're trying to attract business by not only being the first game released, but with the 18-24 demographic (like me) being poor and unable to shell out 50 bones for a video game.

I wonder how many times these offers are going to be posted before all of the mods snap and go on killing sprees...
