Sports - 23 November 2007

Recently, I overheard a radio interview where the International Ice Hockey Federation is compiling an all-time international hockey team. They plan on polling over 100 hockey writers to come up with a list that will take into account a player's international career and professional exploits. That being said, for the next few months these writers will sell us hockey fans on a team that will have the usual suspects: Wayne Gretzky, Slava Fetisov, Martin Brodeur, yada, yada, yada.

The question here is this: isn't it kind of pointless to announce an all-time team now, when it will be altered in twenty-five years? Better yet, what good is this IIHF team if it doesn't include pre-World War 2 players, any members of team USA (especially 1960, 1980, and 2002), or countries other than the former Soviet Union, Canada, Sweden, and Finland?

What are some ideas to make this team legit? Any other thoughts?

Hey all. I am looking for a name for this two year old AQHA filly. By AQHA rules, it must be 20 letters or less, including spaces. We must also use the pedigree in it somehow.

Sire: A slo slippin Story
Dam's side: Sonny Dee Bar

Please combine the major points of the names into creative name for this show mare. Example: Slip N outta Dee Bar

Her barn name is Lucy....but that can't really be used. Please only send names that will work for The American Quarter Horse Association registration. : ) THANKS A TON!!!!! Your name could be a part of history....

I've heard several people say that Matt Holliday got robbed of the MVP, I've also heard that Jimmy rightfully got the MVP Award...so i thought i'd get together the complete stats of these two players and looking at the facts, i want to know what you guys really think.......

~Jimmy Rollins-SS~
H-212
AB-716*
2B-38
3B-20
HR-30
RBI-94
SB-41**
AVG.-.296
OBP.-.344
SLG.-.531
E-11
G-162
Field- Citizens Bank Park

~Matt Holliday-LF~
H-216
AB-636
2B-50
3B-6
HR-36
SB-11
AVG-.319
OBP-.380
E-3
G-157
field- Coors Field***

*All time record
**More SB then Holliday has had in whole career combined
***most hitter friendly field in the major


So who deserved the MVP??? Keep in mind everything and not just offense but defense and how each player leads their team........Who would you have had picked for MVP??

Thanks,
~Phillies n' Rockies fan~

p.s. I personally think Jimmy deserved it.

Was hunting with my best friend this morning and before he could get himself strapped in he mis-stepped in the stand and fell 19 feet straight to the ground.

He is alive this afternoon and happy to be here!!!!!

The problem (one of many) is that his rifle was pinned in between himself and his fall (lucky for him or he would be dead!) and was snapped clean in two from the force of the fall.

This was no cheasy rifle, but a .30-40 craig Model 1898 Carbine from the Springfield Armory. It is a classic, but because it was the rifle his mother hunted with he is very distraught over the damage.

It is a single piece stock that is broken clean in two right at the trigger guard. I want to get it fixed for him, but I don't know if aesthetically I should have it repaired or if I should replace the stock entirely???

I am at a loss with how to continue and would really appreciate any input you guys and gals have....

Thanks

In the light of the Marion Jones scandal with doping. Do you think that athletes who are obviously using steroids (women who look like men, and men who look like gorillas) will come under closer scrutiny by the various athletic federations to stop the rampant cheating amongst these athletes?

Is there a way to tell in advance which goalie is starting for a particular game? I'm not talking like days in advance... but is there a way to tell on gameday which goalie for a team is starting their game that evening? I know you can look at trends and who has played recently and if they played last night... all that kind of stuff, but are lineups or anything like that posted online somewhere? just as an example, can i find out is Huet or Price is starting for the Canadiens tonight?

I Always predict @ Thanksgiving time. My Brother and Son say The New England Patriots and The Dallas Cowboys. I tend to agree with them, but, it would be cool to see the Green Bay Packers make it in there. What do you think? Who do you think will be playing in the "BIG GAME"? Thanks!

I have a problem. I have an old S2H2 Three metal that basically has all the finish stripped off of it. So right now it's polished to almost a mirror finish.

I want some solution to get rid of the mirror finish and somehow get the club back to what it used to look like.....is there any way to dull the polished finish? Does anyone have any experience working on these type of clubs?

I tried painting it....didn't work, it looked really hillbilly.

I contacted the factory and to send it back and get it fixed would cost about $70.00, this is too much, I'll throw the club in the trash before I pay that much to repair it.

What I'm after is a solution I can do myself for not a lot of money so I can dull the finish and I don't have to look at my own reflection when I'm swinging!!!

Thanks for your responses...and don't bother to tell me about Golfworks or Golfsmith...I already know about them, remember I'm looking for something I can do myself....thanks!

on Thansgiving day feel like the annoucers where pulled from a highschool game? The quality of their work versus ESPN or any of the networks was very subpar in my opinion. I really pray that the Pats-Giants game is done on a network that can present it better.
