Newbie with great seats observes the game.: Curt Schilling gets great court-side seats and shares his observations as a sports star, but basketball novice (after some comments about the Red Sox).

18 straight regular season wins: breaking the 70 year old record held by the Chicago Bears spanning 1933-1934 (link to a 2MB PDF). 21 straight wins including the playoffs and Super Bowl. A great accomplishment, but can they top Miami's perfect season? Is there anyone on the schedule who can break the streak?

Aloha, Hawaii:

Best suggestion I've read on the Pro Bowl is to name the teams and skip actually having the game.

Olympic Traitor?

I believe there's a US women's basketball player who now plays Russia in the Olympics under such a move (which was discussed a while back on SpoFi, though I can't find search so I can't find the link).

I have no problem with someone born in one country playing for another, but it does seem counter to the spirit of the games to allow these fast-track citizenships.

Shouldn't there be a minimum time of citizenship and residence requirement?

Phelps also stands to shatter the record for Olympic gold medals (and that's just in this Olympics - imagine if he picks up more in 2012)

Sonics are Oklahoma City-bound

If they're not named the Oklahoma Surreys, I'm not watching (okay, I'm not watching anyways, but just think of the floor show!)

Newbie with great seats observes the game.

this is also pretty classic "What? Dude, your [sic] an NBA official, not the stinking Pope. Not one person in the arena paid 1 cent of their ticket to see you, ref the game and shut your pie hole."

Rushin' to the Olympics:

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the only country in the world that could generate that kind of opinion is the U.S, this "you're either with us or against us" kind of nationalism. Try visiting some other countries sometime - the US has no lock on nationalist fervor.

Rushin' to the Olympics:

I'd be pretty pissed off if I were a Russian player who didn't make the team so they could bring a ringer with no connection to the country.
