I have been standing back reading your argument with AD with delight. It has been entertaining - thanks to both of you. However regarding your point quoted above I think I am "exteremely qualified" to answer this question because I have absolutely NO HOCKEY QUALIFICATIONS. Therefore, I am one of the people the NHL wants to recruit as a fan. Heck, I did not know all the rules until this season. LOL! So, it is with my preminant qualifications that I can say with 100% certaintly that you are dead wrong. The reason Hockey lost its fanbase over the last 10 years is because the game SUCKED ASS! It was terrible to watch leaving only die-hard fans left. The NHL stripped its fan-base to its minimal core of fans. However, what has brought the game back is not the lack of fighting. Heck, I love it when Peters rolls onto the ice! What is saving hockey are two things: first, and primarily so, the new rules (and enforcing old ones as I have come to learn) has made the game exciting to watch so people like me tune into to watch and buy tickets. Second, an infusion of exciting young talent that a new generation of fans can follow for years to come.

Are you F-ing kidding me! ACE! First, the "dude's" (i use that term in a non-litteral sense) first name is ACE! Second, I feel like I am watch a gay-er version of the backstreet boys when he "sings." Then he give that same look into the screen when he ends the song. It is agonizing to watch him every day cater to the New Kids on the Block demographic (10-14yr old girls).

I believe the new CBA has a new rule which prevents teams from doing what teh Eagles did with T.O. If a startng player is healthy and not suspended the team cannot simply deactivate them without cause.

The fact that you are hesitant as to what to do tells me that you should check out this thread

What the hell is with all the moralistic crap in this thread. I am referring to both sides: On one we have the Rev. Lovejoy "what about the children" crap. On the other we have the Rev. Don Cherry "hockey will enforce itself" crap. Why can't we all watch a rediculous incident and laugh together?

Wow, beating the dead with their own shoe is just crazy!

Ask GWB

Just got David Gilmour's CD and it is GREAT! I can't wait for the tour

What's a "toss-bag?" Edit: the post above was posted as I was reading - thank you for the education, Toss-Bag.

I was reading your post and I was thinking to myself "wow, AD is actually making a logical, well thought out, argument, rather than simply a sarcastic remark followed by " "" Then I saw the priceless comment above.

You are insane! Walker IS one of the best young WR's in the game! Moulds WAS one of the best in the game but is no longer. Walker's value is much greater than Mould's. That is just an objective fact. So if we cen get a top flight WR in our system who CNNSI calls, the anti-T.O., why the hell not! That deal looks fair and reasonable.

That is exactly what I was thinking - I was also wondering what the officials were thinking while it was going on. At some point they must have just said - "ah, F&@# it!" and let them riot until their heart's content.

I missed the throat slash sign - LOL! It looks like that guy's head was cut wide open. Earlier he was chasing guys with his stick as well.

Are you talking about the guy at the end? He looked like he pointed to his bloodied face and shirt and threw his stick at a guy. He then turned around and scated back to his team very quickly.

Romanian Hockey Riot Not sure if this was posted before so delete if necessary. I can't believe how fast the fight escalated. The dude swinging the stick at the end looked like he got F-ed up.

That was the best episode ever! I have been thinking that the Russian guy comes back and wacks someone (maybe Tony).

And I am very thankful - I can't wait for her to fail and go into porn.

That's it!

I actually looked at my wife and said "it is just not possible to be that dumb and still be able to survive from day to day." seriously, with her level of intelligence that has been displayed on the show it is a F-ing miracle that she has not been plowed down by a car while crossing the street. It has to be an act. I HOPE it is an act. It was a GREAT version. Johnny Cash is fantastic - and the version grabbed the essance of the song and was arranged very well. Reminded me of something Bruce Springsteen does to some of his own songs from time to time.

I know many protesters with nice breasts.

With the making of Dukes of Hazzard and with Dallas and Magnam PI being made into movies, it got me thinking - what shows from the 1980's should be made into a movie? Here are the ones I thought of: - A-Team - the one with the fancy helicopter with Lorne Green (can't remember the name) - Knight Rider Any others? (it was a bad era for TV)

My wife and I thought the voice was Adrianna's

And those in those pictures are representative of everyone who attends a rally. I was at the peace rally in Buffalo on Saturday - I didn't see people screaming "down with the jewish state" while walking with their flappy boobs hanging-out complete with nazi symbolism painted on them. I guess I wasn't paying attention.

I grew up in Watertown, NY - about 70 miles north of Syracuse. "Appalachia" is a good description. I have always said that if there were a redneck olympiad - the "North Country" could hold its own with the best in W.V., Kentucky, and other Appalachia states.

RUNYAN!
