Sports - 3 December 2007

I don't know if I should be using rifled slugs or sabots with my slug barrel. Looking down the bore there appears to be lines, but I don't see any twist to them, so maybe the bore is just scored from using the wrong type of slug. The barrel is chambered to handle 2 3/4 or 3" shells.

I just want to be sure. Answers failing, I suppose I will go shoot some sabots and see if they are accurate.

And if it is rifled, can I repair the rifling?

It is okay to shoot bird shot through it?

Thank you.

The goal scorers in the shootout don't get goals added to their total. The saves a goalie makes don't get added up in their season and career totals. So why is one goalie given a win and the other is given a loss?
The whole shootout concept bothers me because it inflates the wins total for both teams and goalies. Through the history of the NHL, the games that remained tied after OT counted as ties for goalies and their teams. First, the NHL changes the OT to 4 on 4 and guarantees the loser a point which leaves the teams with nothing to lose at all and much more open ice to score an OT winner. Then, the NHL takes that one step further and adds the shootout, which guarantees a winner every night.
The result of this is inflation of team and goalie records. Goalies are setting wins records without actually having as great a season as the old record holder did. Teams are breaking franchise points and wins records.
Brodeur is going to pass Roy for wins; are his wins the same as Roy's?

I'm a Patriot fan, have been for over 2 decades.

That being said, why do some people insist on blaming the officiating regardless of how fairly the game was called?

Tonight, for instance, if Boller hadn't thrown an awful pass and the Ravens had even kicked a field goal (forget a TD) and gone up 2 scores, they probably would've won the game.

If they hadn't called a TO and the play had stood, stopping Brady on a 4th down, they would've won the game.

If they hadn't committed a penalty on another critical 4th down, they would've won.

If it had been ruled that Gaffney didn't have possession, it still would've been first down, since there was a flag on the play. A 15 yard penalty, which would've put the call on the BAL 4.

On the last play of the game, Samuel was molested on the goal line, which was not called.

Give credit where credit is due. New England played better in the last 4 minutes of the game than Baltimore did. Baltimore only had 3 first downs in the 4th quarter.

I am not looking for a self-defense weapon as much as I am a fun gun to shoot and practice with. My FEG PA-63 is way to hard on the hand after a day on the range.

I used a .40 SW as a teenager when shoting and I recall it having nice power for takedown. And I recall desiring a Glock Model 35, but have since decided to shop around and am seeking advice. Basically, is there any reason I should not buy a well rated Hi Point? Is the SIGMA a good line? Why should I consider a Glock, if at all?

I am against calling them one cause I'm a bills fan but if they go undefeated throughout including the superbowl I would have to agree with patriots fans and conclude they are one. So would you agree or disagree? Why?

They got away with one tonight as they have many times in past 6 years but I think considering how many times they actually win close games it's fair to say that they make their luck. Think about it, there are only two times in past 5 seasons when things haven't gone their way in close encounters. One was at Denver and the other with the Colts both in play-offs.

And why?

A. Indianapolis Colts
B. Philidephia Eagles
C. Baltimore Ravens

Personally, I would have to say the Baltimore Ravens. Three times in New England's last possesion my heart was beating so hard. On 4th and 1 with 1:48 to go in the fourth quarter, the Ravens had Brady on ropes to only beat themselves by calling a silly timeout. After a five yard penalty for a false start on the Patriots, the Ravens allowed Brady to rush for 12 yards for the first down. Forcing a 4th and 5 on the Patriots with just 55 seconds to go in the game, I really thought it was over. But things did not get any better for the Ravens who would commit a holding penalty, finally giving New England the game. Brady would eventually find Jabar Gaffney, handing Baltimore a heart breaking lost.

I rooted for the New England of course because Tom Brady is the man. Brady deserves more respect than Peyton Manning since he is more of a team leader than Manning.

Well, First of all I'm a Patriots Fan...

But what does it matter if the Patriots go 16-0 or 15-1... the only thing that matters is if they can win the superbowl...

So who cares if the Steelers win next week...

Were not playing for 16-0...

Were playing for homefield advantage and then a superbowl win...

Anyone talking sh*t is just stupid and immature on both sides Patriots or any other team...

Am I Right or Am I wrong?

Hello, I want to run my first half marathon. The most I've ever run in one go is probably 10 miles. Is it ok to walk during the half marathon without having to step out in the race? If my goal is completing, how much time am I given before the race usually closes? Is it looked down upon to run/walk this for the goal of finishing?

I've done many 5k road races but this is the first time I'll ever attempt this.. do I use racing flats or run in trainers?

Thanks so much!!!

I live about 35 miles from Texas Stadium. When the Cowboys are winning, you see blue stars and banners and jerseys and hats and jackets and blankets, etc. ad infinitum, but when they lose two games in a row you can't FIND a Cowboys fan.

Tonight I watched the boards and not a Pats fan to be found until that *cough cough* incredible come from behind win. Now they're out like cockroaches drawn to a pile of dung. It's sickening. How many others agree?
