Sports - 27 March 2007

I had the 4th pick in the draft.

The first 3 picks were Pujols, A-Rod, and Soriano.
With them gone, I passed on Howard and Beltran and took Johan Santana. Howard and Beltran went picks 5 and 6. My question is should I have taken a hitter? Or would you have taken Santana too?

I like how my staff ended up:
Johan Santana
Carlos Zambrano
Jason Schmidt
Rich Harden
Barry Zito
Brad Penny

Joe Nathan
Huston Street
Joe Borowski.

Let me know what you think!...

We know how close and exciting the Europe and African continental cups can be, but spare a thought for the continents where Argentina & Brazil; Australia; USA & Mexico go through a tournament of mismatches and always win easily every time, yawn, with very little unpredictable about the whole thing.

Do you think these continental Championships would be better off if each member state or province of the dominant (named) countries were to submit its own team into the qualifying process for the continental finals (I would suggest that like in the UK each person would only be eligible to represent the province or state he has slept the most nights in)?
Imagine how suddenly there might be 12, rather than just 2 country-level teams with a good chance of winning the competition.
Do you support this idea, and if so, how would you adopt this idea into other sports, other contexts, and into football in Europe & England ?

&if not, would you support altering the boundaries between contine

it is in football we see all the diversities in humanity play on level ground with one aim.different cultures,creeds,even sexes are put behind,even if for 90 minutes just for the love of the game.think west germany vs east germany in world cup 74.or iran vs usa in france 98.even the world's most wanted man is a self confessed fanatic of the game.....

Each and every tennis event (pretty much) consists of a single-loss elimination tournament with seed seperation, ... QFs SFs, ... and games and sets - what if we instead had a season with:
only 3 months of tournaments, and with seperate brackets for the top 4, rest of top 20 & non seeds, then one of the runnersup qualifies to the Super Four through a mass single-tiebreaker loss elimination game.
Then 1 month of playing in 6 man national teams only (+ a doubles & 2 tagteam match types making them 5/9 clashes)
the 6 months of wrestling federation or boxing card inspired play where only every 7th episode is a Super Main Event and most other matches are mere big vs small challenge matches,
and then 1 month of round-robin or 3 phases with a cut and a ladder match finale for the Super 16; while 20 nations and regions of the world hold similar events for the best qualifying runners up ....
& then a rest month.
I ask would it not be better for the sport, the players and the viewers?

I have been a McMurray fan ever since he won for Sterling Marlin. Everytime I tell someone who i go for, they laugh and i catch...well you know.... from them. It doesn't bother me because I think that he is great. Just wondering if anyone shared my feelings about how great he is?

Why did he come back "to win another championship" when he could easily declared for the NBA draft the year before and would probably be drafted #1? If not #1, then at least #2? He wouldn't be drafted any later than that.

Now, his stock has fallen to guys like Oden and Durant.

What an idiot!!!

im tired of hearing this. evidentally all these cocky osu fans dont even know who jeff green is. osu has nothing like him and they have absolutely no one who can defend him. if gtown is a poor man's version then why do they have an unbelievable talent in green that you have no chance of guarding?

do you even know who he is? im not a hoyas fan, i am just desperately seeking a buckeye fan's answer to how you plan on defending him........so let's hear it

Every match in this world cup is fixed and Australia and SriLanka will be the finalists. Dont blame Indian team for this. The fixers in Indiam team are Yuvraj and Dhoni. Look at the reactions once the got out against srilanka.The behaved as if the knew it was going to happen.The betting mafia is going to gift yuvraj the captaincy for this. he will be rich from now. Like Kapil Dev etc. I feel happy for Dravid.Even though he will be dropped,atleast he can be alive unlike Bob Woolmer.

As of late, Raw, Smackdown, and ECW superstars are appearing on opposite brands. Do you think this is a sign that the brands are gonna rejoin after WM23 (which is usually when the draft is.)

Sorry this isn't a question. I just wanted to express my condolences regarding the death of the UNC student who was struck by a car while at the regional finals in NJ. My thoughts are with you.
