Octopus swinging by Al Sobotka will result in $10,000 fine. "Because matter flies off the octopus and gets on the ice when he does it." :(

The Islanders have officially gone batshit. 15-year deal for DiPietro, $67.5 million. Second in length only to teammate Yashin, who's is a 10-year deal. And by batshit I mean yes, he's a good goalie, but 15 years is a loooong time in the crease (or to expect that kind of consistency).

I got your fan appreciation RIGHT HERE! Philadelphia 76ers Allen Iverson and Chris Webber show up late and don't play on Fan Appreciation Night. "S---- will be different next year," said team president Billy King, who lost his temper early and often last night.

I always, always, always hated AI, mostly stemming from the time that I lived in Philly, which was at the time of the whole throw your wife out of the house naked skip practice pull guns on people stage. What a loser.

I'm not disproving because he's a poor role model, I'm disproving because he's an asshole.

East Shakeup - What a Night Does any hockey fan out there feel jipped? I had to sit through baseball and NBA scores to even get to the great story about the Eastern Conference race, and even the Nhl Website has failed to put up their yearly playoff page yet. I think we need a hockey support group!

Chicobangs and I were at the Rangers/Sens game. Great fun, though I wish it was a closer contest.
I can't freaking WAIT for the playoffs to begin, and yeah, the coverage has been lacking, but give them a day.

Sweden captures Olympic hockey gold Finland had been unbeaten in seven Olympic games in Turin, playing near-perfect hockey, but again couldn't beat the team it wants to beat most.

Another Red Wing homer here!
What a game. During the second intermission, I had a vision of a Nick Lidstrom laser shot scoring the go ahead goal.
You can thank me any time now.

Is Detroit as deep as they used to be? For several years the Red Wings were the team that aging superstars on sub-par teams came to to get a place on the Cup. Are they, or any team for that matter, as good as before the cap? Can they, or anyone, truely put together a dynasty team any longer? Or as in football will the cap suck talent away before it can happen.
posted to Hockey at 1:07 AM CDT
Yes, the Wings are just as deep, and they have good scouting to thank for that. They've lost some of their depth, no doubt about it, but they've added a few players who have exceeded expectations (Samuelsson, Lebda), and have a great rookie in Kronwall, who's just getting back from ACL surgery.

The Malice In The Palace What's the answer? Clearly the fans were chiefly culpable, and I for one would be disappointed if this didn't result in the cancellation and forfeiture of at least one Pistons home game.

Hold up. Lying down and not getting involved in more shouting and shoving is considered "provocative"? He was actually in the middle of a radio interview at the time. It's not like he stood on the table and gave the finger to the fans, or starting jawing at someone behind the bench. He was literally doing nothing at all. In fact, Wallace tried to entice him to fight again (throwing a towel at him) and he refused to do anything. It was pretty much over until that f*cknut lobbed the bottle/cup at him...
Oh, come on. If he wanted to diffuse, he should have gone to the fucking bench. He was not exactly getting in anyone's face, but he was acting like the smug shithead that had me stop watching the NBA long ago (until last year). He wasn't an innocent bystander, and he grabbed the headset and laid down to taunt Wallace. No doubt about it.

Getting tired of hearing that Wallace started this shit. I mean, that was a pretty fucking flagrant foul.
posted at 5:55 PM CDT on November 20
Yes, it was entertaining. I can't deny it. In that car wreck sort of way.
Did Ben overreact? Possibly. But why was Artest in the game at that point at all, and why was he making fouls like that when his team was so far ahead?
Sorry. I have a soft spot for the 'fro.

It's amazing how the longer this thread gets, the more ridiculous the punishment scenarios get.
Honestly? I think that the suspensions are dead on. Except Sports Network got it wrong.

2 - I feel like some of you might be misinterpreting his *suntanning*. Look, we know Artest has trouble controling his temper. Isn't possible that the *suntanning* was the equivalent of trying to take 10 deep breaths. Isn't that what your supposed to do ... lie down, relax, picture a warm beach?
He could have gone to the bench, no? It was provocative.
3 - He didn't hit the fan he went after. The fan said Artest grabbed him and was asking "did you throw it, did you throw it?" Someone hit Artest in the head with a full beer ... I don't have a problem with him trying to apprehend the guy who did it.
Are you high? Throwing a punch or not, he fucking assaulted the guy, no doubt about it. I do have a problem with him trying to apprehend the guy who did it. That's security's job.
4 - The guy who actually threw the beer was a major jerk.
Well, duh.
5 - Artest goes back down on the floor and another fan starts squaring up with him. Artest has just been hit in the head with an unknown object and sucker punched from behind at this point. I think he's justified in protecting him.
Ok, if a fan goes on the court and postures, Artest can defend himself. Fine. But, he does throw the first punch there, too.
In summary, this was the NBA's fault. The Detroit fans were treating the Pacers like they were animals in the zoo (IMO there's nothing I more repugnant than people who taunt animals at the zoo). For the NBA to put their players in an environment like that was negligent.
What are you talking about? What kind of environment? Were the Detroit fans any different than any other fans before the incident? Have you ever been to an Eagles game? The only stadium in the country with it's own freaking courthouse?
Bottom line is that no one saw this coming, and if the security wasn't quick to react, well, fault them for that, but there wasn't an environment set up or anything. It was just another game. Until then.

Meanwhile, a champion was crowned tonight... Congratulations to the 2004 WNBA champions, who won in convincing fashion in the deciding game of the series (spoiler inside).

I must say, that was some of the finest basketball I've seen. The passing, the selflessness, the pace, all fantastic. Consider me a new WNBA fan. Congrats!

I'm Roger Clemens, bitch! Clemens ejected from his son's U-10 Triple Crown game in Colorado after arguing a call and spitting sunflower seeds at the umpire.

Sunflower seeds hurt when spat. Really.

I'm just waiting for the interview in which Shaq-fu says that as long as they bring their game, that the Pistons shouldn't be a problem.

I feel like it's going to be christmas every day until June.
And, I didn't fork over the bucks for Center Ice for the first time in 5 years.
I love my company :)
