Sports - 8 July 2007

I've been thinking about this for some time but after reading something that rosbif said it really hit home.
He mentioned that Murray Walker spoke lots of the old days and when Murray dies people will forget the older drivers.
This would be awful really as with the arrival of Lewis Hamilton there seem to be hoards of new fans who don't know how entertaining F1 used to be.
What makes things worse is a lot of snobs don't want F1 cars to be restricted from a technological perspective. "It's supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsport!" they sneer.
Yes, it is, but can it be considered sport if the drivers aren't challenged as drivers and the best car is always the winner?
Surely it makes sense to try and bring the teams closer financially and technologically so as to put on a show of great driving skill.
Let's face it, F1 is pretty boring at the minute and if fans switch off F1 dies.
So, with that in mind, can the constructors be brought into line to save a once great sport?

I have been a Laker fan since the days of Elgin Baylor and Jerry West. I hate what they have become with the whiner Kobe.
Would the Bulls or Lakers accept a trade that sent Kobe and Kwame to the Bulls for Noah, Gordon and Heinfich (Or Duhon)? Or even Odam and Kobe for PJ, Deng and Heinrich and Noah?
The Lakers have some great young Big men where PJ would help. And Critendon will bw the real deal in a couple years.
Any thoughts? Other scenarios you could invision involving the Lakers and Bulls?

Do you think they are still talking to the Timberwolves about getting him? or is it over for this year with big trades

If you Shoot From the Three but you jump over the 3 point line before it hits the rim or goes in.Would it still count as a 3? If not..What would it be counted as? a 2?

I have long suspected that Greg Maddux has the worst run support of any pitcher (currently active) with over 200 wins. I know that the stat is kept but I can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions?

He proposed to ban sale and transfer of ALL semi-automatic firearms. That means grandpa's shotgun, your keepsake M1, your antique model 1900 Browning .32 pistol, even your little .22 Marlin rifle that pops small game, paper targets and tin cans.

I don't really care for Jeff Gordon myself, but I don't think that racing would be the same without him! He is a very competative driver and makes Nascar exciting to watch.

What's wrong with the yankees?

They are up 7-0, with runners on first and 2nd, and Melky Cabrera bunts. People talk about sportsmanship in baseball, but how classy is that, to kick a team when their down. Those runs mean nothing, why bunt in that situation?

it's 10-0 now actually with a-rod's homerun.
