The U.S. team had its 185-game winning streak in pre-Olympic exhibitions snapped Wednesday, when the Americans were no-hit by Virginia Tech's Angela Tincher. http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/news/story?id=3317464 Wasn't this the girl they interviewed during the Yankees vs. VT game a couple of weeks ago? Good for her and the Hokies!

I live in Chicago and I don't remember this........... http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/screen.php?c=786&m=xxsportsxx&p=3

7 straight Tour de France wins against a myriad of cyclists who have since tested positive for various PEDs. He's played the deny card all this time - but if he gets called in front of Waxman and Co. will he continue? Perjury's a bitch and I can't imagine his teammates are willing to go to prison for him.....

They established this award ten years ago, and Tiger Woods has won it every year. I would liken that to a baseball player winning the MVP ten years in a row. "Woods wins Mark H. McCormack Award for the 10th straight year - PGA.com ORLANDO, Fla. -- Tiger Woods has been named the recipient of the 2007 Mark H. McCormack Award for the 10th straight year, the Governing Board of the Official World Golf Ranking has announced. <!--startclickprintexclude--><!-- START 'inlineAd' BRANDING:...

I am looking for a forum (English or Italian) to follow this this year (unless there are enough of us here, which would be the best:D ) Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks BTW, THIS site is an absolutely fantastic news site. Steve does a truly superhuman job.

I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations. Thanks a lot:)

No link as of now but Cris Carter is replacing him.

Too funny http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/knicks/2008/02/dolan-to-fan-knicks-are-the-ne.html

looks like a done deal.... The Nets have agreed in principle to send Jason Kidd to the Mavericks, although final trade details are being worked out. The proposed swap would send Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse and other players plus cash to New Jersey. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3244102

I was listening to a hockey show on WSCR and Larry Brooks from the NY Post was on. He was talking about how the Dolan's may now be the worst owners in sports since Blackhawks owner Bill Wirtz died. Then he said that Dolan has now decided to screw the Governor and Mayor of New York by pulling out of a plan to build a new MSG over the post office and instead rebuild MSG at Penn Station. Brooks claims that the Dolan's are talking about both the Rangers and Knicks playing in NEWARK for 2...

Tonite on the CBC...... One of the greatest pleasures of my life was to have watched his entire career here........Here`s to Bob.......:gulp: :gulp: :gulp:

The Blackhawks seem to sense that the Rangers will close Yankee Stadium http://www.suntimes.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/806485,mcdonough022108.article The biggest obstacle could be the New York Rangers' desire to play a game at Yankees Stadium before it's demolished for a new park. McDonough said the Detroit Red Wings would be a desirable opponent. <!-- Start Bottom Story -->

Bulls fans dancing in The Loop :D The Ben Wallace era in Chicago has come to an end. A little more than one and a half seasons after Bulls general manager John Paxson and then-coach Scott Skiles made a splash by signing Wallace away from the Detroit Pistons for $60 million over four years, the center was traded along with Joe Smith to Cleveland for Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden. The Cavs also included Cedric Simmons to make the money work under the salary cap. ...

Anyone know a good NY Rangers sports bar :gulp: that shows the games in HD? Would prefer a location in Westchester but will consider Queens, LI, Bronx........a place that also serves good food would be a plus. Thanks!

Sad for his family, somewhat funny since he was so pompous about the 3 year $21 million deal offered to him in the recent past. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3241444

Figured Signing day was big enough to warrant its own thread. Post all news in here if you'd like. WR Roy Roundtree signs with Michigan. Wolverines having a huge morning so far.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3232862 Interesting, I guess.

A lot of people are saying this is one of, if not the best games they have ever seen. Whats everyones top ten list? It can be anything. A football game, baseball game, boxing match, poker game, MMA fight whatever. Mines in no real order. 2003 ALCS Game 7 July 1st Yankees VS Red Sox Takanori Gomi VS Nick Diaz: Pride 33 Super Bowl 42 2007 Fiesta Bowl: Boise State VS Oklahoma Knicks VS Heat 1999 Game 5

I thought this would be posted a while ago. Bobby Knight has resigned from Texas Tech.

beautiful Giants fans will love it http://www.rbk.com/us/perfectville/

Most of Chicago is rooting for the Giants tomorrow for a simple reason. To shut the Bostonians up. I don't know why so many ex-Bostonians are in Chicago but they are brutal to deal with. GO GIANTS!!!!!!!

Seton Hall beat Louisville last night by a score of 92 to 82. However, the real storyline for this game was the heart displayed by the Hall players and their wild, enthusiastic coach Bobby Gonzalez. I thought he was going to have a heart attack on the sidelines, but you can see how his players love being with him and showed in this game how heart can sometimes win over greater talent. Who knows, but the Hall could be a few good players away from being with the elite in the Big East. I...
