Sports - 30 October 2007

not in the Hall of Fame. Both should be, and I will state my case, starting with the late-great Roger Maris. Maris played in 12 seasons from 1957-1968. He had 1,325 hits, 195 DB, 42 3B, 275 HR, 851 RBI's, .260 BA, .345 OBP and a nice slugging % of .476. Maris won the AL MVP in 1960 and 1961. Roger was a 4 time all-star and one time gold glove winner and broke Babe Ruth's HR record with 61 in 1961. Roger had a relatively short but productive career and retired at the age of 34. I make the case for Maris to be inducted because not only did he break the coveted HR record, but he had a pretty solid career for the amount of time that he played. Also, I have to use the Phil Rizzuto analogy, because Phil was elected to the HOF in 1994, and his lifetime stats were, 13 seasons - 1,588 hits, .273 BA and one MVP.

Roger had 25 or more HR's 5 seasons, which was a lot for those days, and over 100 RBI's 3 times, with 142 RBI's in 1961, which was a ton for those days, non juiced era.

Do you think Kobe Bryant should be traded to the Chicago Bulls??? I think not. I don't care how good he is. His reputation for himself, and the Bulls team is something to worry about.

The Broncos have two of the best cover corners in the NFL. However, they have been playing poorly this year. Now, I know some of you are going to say the Broncos are beat up this year.

But does anyone think it could be because they are trying to hard to win game w/ defense? Jay Cut-soon is stinking it up. Are the DBs trying too hard?

I'm not a Pats fan, but I'm curious if people think it's the O-line, D-line, secondary, Moss, Brady or other? Which part of the team would cause the most impact on the team if one of these elements was weak? Would Brady be as successful if he had a weak line? Would another QB be as successful with a weak line? Would teams be able to score if they LB were weak? Would their offense be as strong if Moss wasn't on the team?

What is the deal with Yahoo being the only to keep making it sound like USC is on the verge of NCAA sanctions? They have been harping on this for over a year now and I still see little to no coverage from other news sources. Is Yahoo trying to create a story by blowing things out of proportion, or are other news outlets either not interested in tearing down what has been one of the top teams of the decade or perhaps waiting to see the NCAA actually do something? I ask this question as an SC fan because the disparity between the amount of reporting from all other news outlets compared to Yahoo really has me puzzled.

After attempting to steal the spotlight from a team (Boston) that played together as such in another classic world series, Alex Rodriguez decided he is worth much more than the team he played for, and opted to seek more money than a human being possibly needs to make sure he can escape from reality-that being that he is a selfish, arrogant waste of talent who will never wear a champion's ring. I have heard he will make $146,000 a day when the unfortunate team that does sign him finally buys into the sucker punch that has been Alex's career. Isn't a soldier worth much more though? I for one hope he is boycotted this year, since he obviously has no regard for character or appreciation for the team he had the best chance to win with. I being a Red Sox fan hope beyond all else that ownership keeps loyalty alive with a resigning of the best team player in the game-Mike Lowell, and tells A Rod and his braggart agent to shove it. We won it all without him-we don't need him or want him.

If you found yourself in an elevator for 3 minutes with your favorite CURRENT player, what would you say to them?

Gush like a schoolgirl? Rip on them for their lackluster plays? Recite their entire background? Babble incoherently???

So much for the slow start- a 4 point night vaults him up to 4th in scoring with games in hand on the top 3. Hearing footsteps Zetterberg? Crosby is just getting started.

Would it default to OU? Who got murdered in the game..

Don't want to make this an Auburn/OU debate. I am an OU fan but will admit Auburn was probably better...

Anyway, just curious if USC gets stripped of its title, would it go to OU by default?

That would be some SWEEET justice, considering that OU turned in their own players, and kicked them off the team for getting a few grand 'extra'. And the NCAA took away all the wins for OU for a year! This was nothing compared to Reggie Bush's 300 grand in 'alleged' benefits.
