Shanny calls it a career: The lone member of the NHL's 600 goal/2000 PIM club, Brendan Shanahan, announces his retirement after 21 seasons. Could head of the NHLPA be in his future?

The best player from EA Sports' NHLPA '93 calls it quits: I couldn't be happier. In fact, I'm going to hook up my Genesis, and hit him till he bleeds all over the ice, for old times sake...

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...

I think it's more of an homage to wear the number of your hero, a la Steve Yzerman wearing 19 in honor of Brian Trottier. If the almighty Stern deems Jordan worthy of a league-wide retirement, so be it. But I don't think it's up to LBJ to make that call...

I was reading this article while I was...well, let's just say I read this article in yesterday's Detroit Free Press. It struck me as some of the worst writing I've ever seen in a newspaper. Hell, this is worse than a lot of columns I see on sports blogs. Have newspapers sunk so low that they need to hire writers that can't even keep a coherent thought from paragraph to paragraph?

Care to elaborate, geekguy?

Note to Stafford: The bad guys are wearing purple this week. Try not to throw at or near the color purple on Sunday, and just maybe the Lions will cover the spread. Not win, just not lose so badly I can't make money off you.
You could light the pilot in your furnace with a $100 bill. At least you'd have a warm feeling afterward...

I believe the NHL actually retired 99 league-wide.
maybe, can you provide a link? I saw it a lot even after Gretzky retired.
and Gretzky was the last to wear 99.

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...

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?

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.

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...
