Sports Bio

Anyone that's read my posts knows I'm a diehard Detroit homer. The most memorable sporting event I've attended was game 4 of the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals. I had already been very lucky scoring playoff tickets that year, seeing game 1 of round one vs. St. Louis, the triple-OT game in Detroit vs. Anaheim, and watching the Wings paste Colorado 6-0 on home ice. But to see my life-long dream of my Detroit Red Wings finally put an end to the 42-year curse was better than any other moment in my sports life...and yes, I cried like a five-year-old girl with a skinned knee when Stevie Y. finally got to hoist the Cup...

The Captain, the Golden Brett, 'Lucky' Luc, and , well, Brian Leetch are the 2009 HHOF inductees.: Don't think there was a doubt on any of them making it. All are first-ballot HOFers. But names like Bure, Ciccarelli, and Gartner have to wait again to be called...and it could be longer for some...

Scutaro steals second base after Base on Balls: Blue Jay Marco Scutaro catches the Phillies middle infield napping, and takes second after drawing a walk. As one of the commentators says, it reminds him of little league. Video here.

Will a Woman Ever Coach an NBA Team?

I'm not sure Pat Summit would make a good NBA coach. The successful college coach that makes the jump and is a successful NBA coach is rare. Lieberman might be the best candidate at the moment. She has pro coaching experience, and was successful as a pro coach. She can't be any worse than Michael Curry...

Giants ace Lincecum cited for marijuana possession

This is the same MLB that came down on John Rocker for things he said out of season and uniform? Don't think they might come down on Lince a bit?

Should SportsFilter Think of the Children?

I'm confused...is it still OK to say "fuck Gary Bettman"?

All kidding aside, I concur with my fellow members. As a fellow parent, the onus falls on me to show my kids right from wrong, good from bad, intelligent from asinine, etc and so forth, based on my own experiences and beliefs. We cannot expect an online community of 17000+ from all over the world to conform to any one set of ideals. Now, as noted in earlier posts, it is possible to filter out language you deem offensive with a simple Firefox addon, and the course seems more logical then expecting all of us to censor ourselves for your (or anyone else's) child's sake.

Behind The Back Pass

The game wasn't out of reach at that point, given that the coach called for a conversion. This looks less like hotdogging than it looks like a QB keeping the defense off balance. Had this happened in the 2nd half, I'd call it unsportsmanlike...

Twins, Tigers Will Decide AL Central in Playoff

Holy schnikies, Leyland heard my prayers and sat Huff, and put Raburn in left...the Tigers might actually pull this out now...

Twins, Tigers Will Decide AL Central in Playoff

That Leyland has enough confidence in Porcello to throw him to the wolves should cement his bid for ROTY. But I'm still fuming that Verlander pitched yesterday instead of tomorrow. If the Twins would've lost, he would've been ready for Game 1 against the Yankees. Now Jackson would start game 1, against that lineup. Bad call, IMO...
