Center Ice will show games from the first and second round of the play-offs.

I am flipping between the Sabres and the Norwood thing

How close to the Hurricanes arena is this place? It sounds like a good place to go after the Sabres game.

Are the garbage plates any good?

It was reported yesterday on ESPN Radio that the pics are from after the Indy win. Big Ben was at a Miami of Ohio party. He is surrounded by some beautiful Baby Dolls though.

Steve Smith just threw Nate under the bus. He said that Nate isnt as good as Nate thinks he is. His basis was that alot of corners think they are good but they always have safety help. He implied that Nate was one of those guys. Smith also listed some of the top corners. He had Champ, Dre Bly, Delta O'Neil. Smith also called Fred Smoot overrated. Sounds like players in the league think "The Playmaker" is overrated.

Thank you. I am tired of everyone praising McNally as a genius on the o-line. What has he done in the two years he has been here? Our o-line has been below average during his tenure. I realize the talent hasnt been very good either but McNally was hailed with being able to fix any line.

The Food Network is doing a show about Garbage Plates tonight. It is a re-air but I missed it the first time around. I haven't had a garbage plate since I graduated college. The memories of going to Tahoes at 3 am or the much less crowded Henrietta Hots after a stop at the Kat never go away. mmmmm Garbage Plates

I bought 4 tickets last week through ticketmaster, Section 302. There are gonna be about 15 other people in that section rooting for the Sabres. I hope it is a good game. The Sabres have a home game the night before so hopefully they wont be flat for the Hurricanes game. I have no idea about the scalping option. I agree with you on the B-more scalping scene. I scalped some Yankee tickets there and I thought I was buying some crack or something with the way the scalpers acted.

Souray also threw an elbow in the fight along with his fists.

Yes.

Atta boy Timmer. Your cousin is crying himself to sleep and holding a Brady doll. The Brass Bonanza!!!!!

ESPN Radio is reporting that Kubiak is going to be the head coach in Houston

Ralph: "The questions are getting tougher .... I'm leaving" Ralph reminds me of that crazy old uncle who just cracks jokes out of no where that kind of dont make sense but do.

I like some of the things he is saying. It seems like his entire role hasnt been outlined yet.

Ralph should be a stand up comedian

Great Post Also, I kind of see this as the off season move that will bring excitement to fans. Bring in Marv Levy and it gets people talking and their hopes up. It seems after every dissappointing year they do something in the off season (New GM and HC, Bledsoe, New HC, releasing Bledsoe and playing JP, and now this). Maybe I am just very skeptical about this.

All Sullivan is doing is his job. He is a sportswriter. Sportswriters tend to write about sports and most of the time they take the bad guy role to sell papers. Some of the points he raises in the article are valid points. What really changed? The same head coach is in place. Modrak is still in place. Levy will be coming in but how much say will he have? How much of the roster did Modrak have a role in this year? Modrak is still the personel guy. Who is going to be the OC? If Mularkey calls the plays again, it is another year of sketchy play calling. It all comes down to how much say does Marv have. If he is a figure head, then nothing has changed. If he has final say, I hope he brings in the talent to help this team succeed. There are alot of question marks still out there. How will the draft room function with four heads (Marv, Mularkey, Ralph, and Modrak) trying to make decisions? Who will have final say?

hahahaha Tom Brady is a joke. "We don't get respect." Vegas has there odds at number 2 behind Indy to win the Super Bowl. I am tired of players playing the "No Respect" card. If anything, Jacksonville should be the one screaming no respect. I hope NE loses in the playoffs cause I dont know if I could handle another Super Bowl with NE in it.

Texas would have waxed PSU. Penn State struggled against Florida State. PSU is not on the same level as Texas or USC. I dont even think PSU could beat Ohio State if they suited up this weekend. With your reasoning, PSU should have lost to Northwestern. They got lucky there. The two best teams played in the Rose Bowl. I just wish the game didnt last till 12:30 ... going to be a long day at work.

Congrats to Texas. Vince Young was amazing. Unstoppable. That was a great game that lived up to hype. I was rooting for USC but damn Vince Young could not be stopped. Will Vince leave or stay?

Did anyone catch the game on OLN last night? The game was in Nashville. The main camera was really tight on the action. It was horrible. The camera had a tough time keeping up with the puck. I watched the first period and had to turn it off.

A lot of my friends thought that the 49ers were the best team in the game. I always thought it was the Bills. Jamie Mueller up the middle was always sneaky sneaky. The Bills, 49ers, and Giants (LT was unstoppable at blocking FG and XP) were the best teams in the game. Tecmo brings back some good memories.

Ohio State got an automatic bid because they were 4th in the BCS which was previously stated in the initial post.

If Texas or USC loses, why should Penn State move up instead of LSU? If LSU wins the SEC championship, they will have beaten 4 Top 25 teams while PSU will have only 2 wins over top 25 teams. Everyone loves the Joe Pa Story .... blah blah blah. LSU is a better team than PSU, and plays in a tougher conference. Give LSU some love instead just conceding that PSU will get into the National Championship game if the top dogs lose.
