Hull of a Career: On Monday, November 9th, The Golden Brett joined his father in the NHL Hall of Fame. His career included 741 goals - only two players have more, Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe - and 1391 points over 20 NHL seasons ranking Hull 21st on the all time points list. In the early 1990's Brett Hull was one of the most feared snipers in the league tallying 86 goals in the 1990-91 season. He is one of five players on the 50-50 list, an 8 time all star and an Olympian. He has won the Hart Memorial Trophy (MVP), the Lady Byng and scored a Stanley Cup clinching goal in 1999.

Zambrano thinking retirement?: "It's been a disappointing season," he replied. "People say, 'Why can't you pitch like that all the time?' It's not all the time I feel like that."

Suicide isn't a statement - "fuck you" or otherwise - it's a tragic symptom of an unravelled mind.
Maybe not in this case JJ, but sometimes it is very much a statement.
Generalizing suicide as a loss of control of 'mental faculties' isn't accurate.
Interestingly enough, from the same wiki link is this:
German law interprets suicide as an accident and anyone present during suicide may be prosecuted for failure to render aid in an emergency. A suicide legally becomes emergency when a suicidal person loses consciousness. Failure to render aid is punishable under article 323c of the StGB, with a maximum one year jail sentence.

Yadier Molina also won a Gold Glove in the NL and he is nowhere near the top of offensive production at the catcher position, but easily deserving of the defensive award. As is every year, some GG's are spot-on and some are absolutely debatable.

or a mic button got stuck in the hold position at the wrong moment.
The clarity and differential in audio quality was very much like what comes through your headphones.
Sounds good to me.
But because I am curious, why would there need to be a button that allows some guy 'in the truck' to broadcast anything? That just seems to be an unnecessary button. I understand the truck-to-announcer's headphone idea, just not the truck-to-live audience possibility.

I find it hard to respect minor-league hockey when they allow that kind of stuff to go on for so long. Letting a player fight after he has left the penalty box, instead of immediately stopping it, makes a complete mockery of the rules.
I agree. I have tried to follow minor league hockey a few times but find myself turned off by the excessive fighting. I say that as someone who believes that fighting does have a part in the NHL, just not at the frequency I've seen in minor league hockey.
That said, my experience could be way off, so feel free to tell me how wrong I am.
But how could anyone expect someone named Robin Big Snake to not come out of the penalty box? In a long list of great hockey names, RBS is near the top for sure.

Meyer seems to have confused the attacker with the victim. Brandon Spikes does not need their "full support."
I agree. I couldn't figure out what that meant. Would Meyer have been pushing Spikes' finger further into Ealey's eye if given the chance?
On local radio in Jacksonville they're saying that Ealey took some cheap shots at Gators during the game.
I'm assuming that with all the cameras surrounding the Gators, there would be video of that too no?

I also see nothing wrong with this play considering it was in the first quarter, and the score was 13-0 at that point.
I thought it was cool. When trick plays are executed correctly, I find them some of the most exciting plays in football - at any level.

The "Professional Athlete: Broke" article is almost becoming a Mad-Lib. Just fill in the player name, team name and dollar amount. Everything else is the same.
Sooner or later, players will realize that employing a financial adviser is just as important as their agent.

Is It Time to Retire the Football Helmet?
The shoulder and elbow pads went from protection to weapon more than a decade ago.
I work in a large sporting goods store here in Montana. Each year, I am more and more surprised by the level of what seems to be bulletproof hockey armor we receive. Weedy is right. Pads are becoming weapons. Not protection.
