Gatlin is handed Eight Year Ban Another one bites the dust. At least this time the athlete in question has stopped denying he was doping and agreed to help do what he can to eliminate doping in track and field, even if it does come in the form of a "plea bargain" worthy of Jack McCoy on Law and Order. I would tend to take his mea culpa seriously as this pretty much ends his career. I'm not above accepting an "I'm sorry", even if was offered after he was caught.

Double your pleasure Double your fun. For the first time in major league history, two games went 18 innings on the same day. It was the longest game in Rockies history, and the Cubs set a record by using all 25 men on their active roster.
Nothing spoke more to the Rockies' offensive absurdity than this: Jamey Carroll drove in Colorado's lone run on a double play groundout, the highlight of his 0-for-8 game that featured a combined 124 at-bats, including 61 for the Rockies. After Carroll's out, nearly 100 batters had an opportunity and came up empty. Gas prices, meanwhile, presumably rose 3 cents per gallon. posted by BullpenPro at 12:57 PM on August 16
Thats a lot of baseball. Thats like buying 2 games for the price of one. Some fans are lucky, but I can't see too many people staying that late. Imagine sitting through the Longest baseball game! 32-inning game. It was the Pawtucket Red Sox and Rochester Red Wings. IMAGINE THAT!

Philadelphia Flyers, Eric Desjardins, Retires after 17 Years Though I'm not a Flyers fan I can always appreciate the great career of another teams Captain and he was a pleasure to watch all of these years. A great defenseman and a class act. It's a shame he had to go out because of not being offered a new contract. Let's hope he renews his interest in coaching someday.

Eric was a good player I think. Even though I'm a Flyers fan, I still think he was a great player. He wasn't a Wayne Gretsky, but he didnt suck. You cant say that he was ever a horrible player even if he stats dont show it.

"I don't know if anyone will ever break our record of five straight Stanley Cup championships This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the start of the Montreal Canadians fabulous run of 5 straight cups. Jean Beliveau figures one of his records is going to stay in the book for a very long time. "I don't know if anyone will ever break our record of five straight Stanley Cup championships. I know it has been said that records are made to be broken, but with the NHL, the way it is set up today with free agency and all, it will be hard for one team to have a run at five straight Stanley Cups." Is this the hardest record in Major Professional North American Sports to break? Could be.......

I dont think it will be done again for a very looooong time. There are too many good teams out there. Back then teams were just developing and new teams were coming into the league. Now just too many players and teams are too good. Maybe it will happen! But not in our lifetime.

Steriod users are getting on my nerves. Why can't people start playing there sport without cheating. They just wont everone to think there the best, but when the cheat.... everyone starts to hate them. Sports players need to stop doping or this is how its gonna be for the rest of sporting.
