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...

Problem posting with Google Chrome: I've noticed that I cannot post comments in Google Chrome. The live preview doesn't work, and the "post comment" button is grayed out, even after typing a comment in the comment box. Posting new threads apparently still works, though. I'm using version 20.0.1132.57, if that helps...

Brandon Jacobs repays 6-year-old fan...and then some: This offseason, the Giants released Jacobs and he signed with the 49ers. It was a development that six-year-old Giants fan Joseph Armento wanted to avoid, and it explains why he sent Jacobs $3.36 so the team could afford to keep him in New York.

holden, that was a nice trip down memory lane. Can you dig up clips of the Wings losing to San Jose in 94, too? Oh, and fuck you, by the way... =D

grum, get over it. It was game 6. The Leafs still had game 7, at home. It didn't cost them the series any more than Buckner cost the Red Sox...

2013 SpoFi Stanley Cup Pickem - first round edition

Ok, it's simple: pick the winner of each playoff matchup, and how many games each series will go. You'll get 2 points for picking the winner, and 1 point for the number of games (you do not have to get both right to get the three points, they are mutually exclusive). Here are the matchups, higher seed to the left...

Pittsburgh vs NY Islanders
Montreal vs Ottawa
Washington vs NY Rangers
Boston Vs Toronto

Chicago vs Minnesota
Anaheim vs Detroit
Vancouver vs San Jose
St Louis vs Los Angeles

So get those picks in. I'll be lax on cutoff, because games start tomorrow night, but not *too* lax. Good luck...

Boston Bruins announcer Jack Edwards equates Matt Cooke with Sirhan Sirhan

but without players like him we would have had a full year of Eric Karlsson

Karlsson's injury was an accident, plain and simple. While it's unfortunate that it was Cooke that caused it, and not, say, Evgeni Malkin, you can't say it's because of "players like [Cooke]". Sometimes, bad things just happen...
