Sports Bio

I love Baseball, Hockey, Football and skydiving. Is there anything else in life? I follow the Cubs, RedWings and Bears. I would however not mind if the StLouisCardinals completely dropped off the planet. I am married happily to skydivedad.

Federation's report on limiting Euro imports has flaws.: In a controversial new report that was quickly challenged by NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly, among others, the IIHF contends leagues on this side of the ocean have been taking a haphazard approach to importing European players, bringing in too many and, more critically, often too early in their careers.

Yahoo Fantasy H2H Baseball League

It actually says in the notes above the teams.....

"Your league will not be permitted to conduct its draft if it contains an odd number of teams"

We only have 11 teams signed up so we need 1 more or 3 more if you want 14.

No it says that unless you have an even amount of teams you will not be allowed to draft. We would need at least 12 to go.

Yahoo Fantasy H2H Baseball League

Well it looks like we are going to need one more team in order to have the league go on. Please won't someone else join?

The mighty hath fallen:

This is the first time I have really watched any tennis and I am really enjoying it. I watched the Tsonga match yesterday and was impressed. Now mind you impressing me probably isn't very hard because I have never really watched. I watched Federer a little the other day and thought so this is what a great tennis player looks like. So many of you have been singing his praises on spofi over the last year. I am bummed that I will not be able to see him in the finals but will enjoy watching Tsonga again. I have not see Djokovic but I am hoping it is a good match. Wow I just watched Sharapova win it all. I think I may have a new sport I am fast becoming hooked on.

"If you're not confrontational, you're not doing your job."

I agree with apoch. I did not know about his involvement with Ben Johnson at least I am not remembering hearing about it before. It almost sounds like while he was in charge he had a personal stake in it. He led a good witch hunt but I really don't think much justice was served. What is known about John Fahey, the man who is going to take his place? Will the witch hunt continue with guilty being said and the accused must bring evidence to prove innocence or will Fahey have to show evidence to prove guilt while they are considered innocent?
