We know the story by now: the New Jersey Devils and Pittsburgh Penguins were neck-and-neck for the first overall pick in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft. The prize: one Mario Lemieux. Legend has it that the Pens tanked games at the stretch to secure the right to pick first. Let's just say that the Pens chose very wisely.

Think back for a moment. What if Pittsburgh didn't "struggle" to finish out 1983-84? New Jersey would have been gifted with the talents of Lemieux (and in those days, not even the then-"Mickey Mouse" franchise would have screwed that one up). On top of that, they were beginning to secure the future foundations of their team, adding Patrik Sunstrom, Sean Burke, Ken Daneyko, Bruce Driver, John MacLean, and others into the mix. Would a Lemieux have made the Devils a contender sooner? What would have become of the Penguins? Would they even be in Pittsburgh today if history was changed?

Can S.Florida pull the upset? Will they? I think they can, but Auburn has their OWN refs to call their home games.(SEE:2006 VS. LSU and 2006 VS. Florida)

Back in 1995-96, the Detroit Red Wings were well on their way towards a record setting campaign. The previous off season, Jim Devallano and company entertained the idea of trading...Steve Yzerman. There were whispers around Detroit that Yzerman couldn't lead the team to the promised land, the Stanley Cup. The Wings were by all accounts embarrassed by New Jersey in the 1995 Finals. The rumor as I remember it had Yzerman going to the Ottawa Senators for Alexei Yashin and draft picks. Then as it the story goes, Keith Primeau would have been named captain and the one-two punch of Yashin and Sergei Fedorov would have made the Wings the team to beat. Something funny happened along the way: Kris Draper was pummelled by Claude Lemieux in the 1996 Western Finals. On top of that, Primeau decided to hold out for more money. Ken Holland took over, and the rest is history.
The question here is this: what if Devallano pulled the trigger on the Yzerman trade? How would history have been altered?

I would like to become stronger so that I can ride my bike further. But I seem to run out of stamina really quickly. It's really irritating; I get out of breath and develop stitch really quickly. It's only a problem when going up hills, but still - I want to be able to cycle from South Hampsted to Finchley.

Who was it that George Stienbrenner (Yankee Owner) hired and fired in a public news conference in front of all the media?

I remember seeing a clip of it once on TV. Basically George introduced someone as manager and the that person took the stage said how "I am gonna make all these changes" then George ran back up on stage and started yelling saying "I'm in charge here not you." then they argued and George let out his infamous "You're fired" in fron of the press.

I thiink it was like back in the 80s.

Who, if anybody, will beat USC this year during the season or a bowl game? Give your reasons if you want best answer.

I don't think so. Lost Dwayne Jarrett, Steve Smith, lendale White, Reggie Bush and Matt Leinert. John David Booty is a Seinior and this will obviously be his last year. He's...O.K. So no offense. The defense is great. So i guess i don't get it. USC#1?

do you think pro wrestling's future could change for the health of the performers? I mean if Benoit had brain damage that bad, Mick Foley has got to be about dying after that match with The Rock at the Royal Rumble '99.

Who win between LSU vs. VT, they both have a great defense, but LSU is at home, so the advantage goes to LSU but VT defense is stellar. And Oregon vs. Michigan in the Big House, the Ducks use a spread offense and Michigan couldn't stop the Spread offense last week, i think this is a redemption game for the Wolverines, so i pick Michigan to win this game.

Personally, as a Nth Melb supporter, I hope they bring out their handbags on Sunday. But then the only other teams I can stand are Hawthorn and Sydney, so I hope after that they can knock out the others.

When you say you hate a team, Like I hate the Chiefs,Broncos and Chargers, do you think hate is another word for respect? I mean it's like When the Raiders are winning and one of those other three teams I mentioned are having a losing season,I know that when it's time to play that team, throw the records out the window because that team is bringing it's A game no matter what the records are. I think hate just sounds better to us then respect. What do you think?
