Tortorella down in Tampa seems to be the most recent person to have met the wrath of Colin Campbell and the NHL for criticizing the officiating in a game against Atlanta last week. His comments are rumored to have cost him $10,000. I've seen some bad calls in my years of watching hockey, and it seems like saying something at a press conference is probably the most effective, albeit costly way to catch the league's attention. If I were a coach, I'd have a tough time biting my tongue with some of the poor calls that are made, especially if it cost me the game.

I mean, they barely win against the Eagles and all the media outlets still talk about how great they are. They had a bad game, yet the media will have you believe they just won the Super Bowl by squeeking by the Eagles.

They lose their number one draft pick for cheating (although they really didn't cheat, they tried to cheat). And as it turns out, they will get a higher number one pick than anyone. Hell, if Miami wins a couple, they could end up with the overall number one!!! Un-fricken-believeable!

I am not a hater...I am just sick and tired of everyone blowing smoke up Tom Brady's butt.

Just a hypothetical question, of course, but a Honda NASCAR team is almost inevitable, and Rick Hendrick is a Honda dealer.

So I was suppose to be participating in the relay portion of a marathon, bringing my contribution of only a 10K. Well, all three team members I was running with have backed out, and now I have been asked to complete a half marathon with another runner.

So I have one week to get myself prepared to complete double the anticipated milage, 13.1 miles. I have until December 2nd. Is there anyone who can give me advice as to how I can get in the training that will help me the most by then?

I have access to a gym and running outdoors, as well as endless hours to dedicate to training this week. Also, I was thinking of juicing this whole week with adding fish and egg white protein portions for my meals.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm really looking for a whole workout breakdown. Thanks!

I have great respect for all that Bill Russell did, but there were nowhere near the number of teams when he played nor was it as difficult to stockpile great players for a long period (cousy, havlicek, heinson, s.jones, k.c. jones etc.). Also if winning is the only criteria to base greatness of a player on, Steve Kerr and Robert Horry shall also go down in history ahead of Jordan...Again I have tremendous respect for Russell as a bball player, but I can't see how the argument can be made against MJ... But I encourage you to try ;) Please don't tell me about 11 vs. 6, I get it.

trail riding will be about 20km
and sometimes night road cycling with it
i dont have a roadies.
nevegal is really good for muddy off-road to me
but being riding so much on road
will it wear out very fast? nevegal is not cheap
cant possibly change every month
i know its hard to say how long it can last
just tell me around how much faster it will wear out compared to other knobby tires.

Gun must be concealable beneath a tee shirt on a hip holster, or fit in a small fanny pack (3 - 3.5" barrel). Would .45 ACP, .45 GAP, .40 S&W, or .357 SIG be adequate for up close and personal confrontation out of a short-barreled Glock, Kahr or Colt clone? Suggestions please.

You should, you've come closer to beating the Pats than anyone else this year. Think about it all you non-Pats fans, your team wins, and it's a bummer for you because they didn't destroy their opponent.

It's great being a Pats fan!

I'm sure Belichick will lay into them. Look out Ravens!

I have done a lot of martial arts and now train and fight mma. This boxing coach says he won't teach mma fighters. My style is sprawl and brawl so I think a good boxing coach would help tremendously along with the mma gym. what do you think would be a good supplament for good boxing training? and do you think that is fair of him?

I am talking in terms of the # of pro bowler types they have, and or blue chip top prospects. How was it put together?

Do you agree that a dominant offensive line is a must to have a good offense?

Okay so Mayorga has announced that he wants to move down in weight, my question is (read carefully) Who would win the pre-fight trash talking between Ricardo Mayorga and Floyd Mayweather? this is assuming they eventually meet, i personally wanna see someone talk as much crap back to Mayweather.

I am sick and tierd of hearing how great of a coach he is, have these analyst not been watching these games?...LSU by far has the best talent this year, and they could easily be 7-5!!!

-He got extremely lucky on all those 4th down calls against FLA
-He got lucky on the last play of the game against Auburn, if they didnt catch that pass they would of lossed
-They had to drop 17 in the 4th to beat Bama

They were dominating teams early in the season, until teams started watching film and out coaching him, he has won off of pure talent..and if Tennesse beats them, and they get into some crap bowl, wow!! he should be fired!

He should go to Michigan, before he gets exposed! Michigan will be an easier schedule, and I believe they just had a bad year, this is the same team, that was an hair away from playing for the championship last year

I was hunting in Oregon this year for elk. I startled what I thought was a black bear, but I soon relized it was a big foot. I had the animal in my rifle sights, but I was too afraid to shoot it.Then it walked off and disapeared. I think maybe I should have shot it.

I've herd a couple people say after watching the Eagles game tonight, that its obvious Tom Brady is bad under pressure. To me, that was the total oposite. He proved he can move if nessassarry, rushing for 16 yards, on 3 carries, and one was a big first down. Also, even under the pressure, he threw 0 INT, and managed 380 passing yards. I just don't understand what made people thing he was bad under pressure after this game.
