I've never heard of this being used before, but at some press conference, someone w/the Bucs said they'd tried all they could but that he didn't want to be there anymore. Source: WCBS-880AM.

What are you thinking about this team? could then go to Playoffs? I think Packs defense is the worst in the League. but we have a good offense with an unbeliveable OL. Good Bye. :NY:

Getting deep into the playoffs, the Yanks team has saved my sanity because the Giants are killing me. Thank you Yankees. You don't know how you've saved my life the last couple of weeks.

Panthers Fire Mike Keenan The Florida Panthers have fired head coach Mike Keenan just 15 games into the season, ESPN has learned. Keenan led all active coaches in games coached and wins. No replacement has been named. The Panthers are 5-8-2-0 this year. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/index No article yet, just breaking news off the ESPN hockey page...

So now the picture clears up a little bit more. Oklahoma...well, I'm not sure ANYBODY can beat this Oklahoma team, considering the whooping that Texas A&M got today, whoa...but now with three of the teams with one loss just took themselves out of the running...FSU... Miami :D ...Virginia Tech...only LSU, OSU, and USC are left with one loss. So who's got the best chance? I have no clue what's happening with LSU, so I can't comment on that, but we play OSU (of course) two weeks from now, and...

This appeared in my mailbox the other day. Swear to God. Scary part is, I think it's legit.:eek: PRESS RELEASE November 5, 2003 “IRON MIKE: THE BOXING MUSICAL” The first ever boxing musical highlights the life and career of Mike Tyson. It is staged entirely in the ring. For 12 powerful rounds it delivers knockout punches of boxing, dancing and music, blending hip-hop, pop, rock and classic Broadway.

How awesome is Mark Messier. Not only a great game by him, but an awesome awesome game by Jussi Markkanen posting a shut out :gulp: :gulp: http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=1654326 NEW YORK -- Mark Messier tied and then passed Gordie Howe for second place on the NHL's career points list when he scored a goal early in the second period and then an open-net goal late in the third period of Tuesday night's game between the New York Rangers and the Dallas Stars. Messier...

OK hockey fans, I've got a serious pet peve. I've always thought that hockey players wore "sweaters" but more often than not, you hear them referred to as jerseys. Is a sweater more old school or is there actually a difference?

Entertaining game tonight. 129 penalty minutes handed out. Lindros hurt his shoulder which pretty much sucks. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=231020013 NEW YORK (AP) -- The Rangers' recipe for victory was simple and unorthodox. Most of all, it was effective. Eric Lindros scored with a knuckling shot before being injured and Tom Poti added a goal with New York played short-handed when it didn't have to in a 3-1 victory Monday night over the slumping Florida Panthers.

You know who I am talking about, the 14 year old in the Nike commercial telling us who he can beat. This has to be the worst ad campaign and Nike has sunk to a new low promoting some little turd that know one has heard, seen playing or remotely care about.

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Kobe Bryant, welcomed by a thunderous roar when he was introduced, played last night for the first time since being charged in July with sexual assault. Bryant joined Shaquille O'Neal and two celebrated new teammates - Karl Malone and Gary Payton - for the Los Angeles Lakers' exhibition game against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Pond. To chants of "Ko-be! Ko-be!" Bryant pulled up and made a jumper a minute and a half after the opening tipoff. ...

Is it just me or do these fans go a tad overboard with the booing? These fans are completely boo crazy. I watched a lot of the Eagles/Jets game yesterday and the fans were booing after almost every single play. It got so bad that Phil Simms even had to comment how inappropriate it was for fans to be booing that much in a game where the Eagles were only trailing by a field goal. I know it can be frustrating but I highly doubt that's the kind of support the team's looking for.

Are there any self-proclaimed BCS experts out there? I'm curious how the USC Trojans ended up at #7??? I'm sitting here looking at the numbers in the USA Today and it just doesn't make sense to me. It seems like a couple of the lower polls really scew the numbers. And what is the "Schedule rank" number equate to??? :enraged:

This is a really, really hard time to be a Broncos fan. Another quaterback is sick/hurt. They say Jackson thinks he may be coming down with a cold too. Broncos Turn to No. 4 Quarterback

ESPN Radio just announced that Pat Riley has resigned as Miami Heat head coach. Assistant Stan Van Gundy takes over the team.

Alright...for all you college football fans..who do you think was the best college football coach ever? I'm tempted to say JoePa...but I'd rather go with former Aggie coach Bear Bryant, who had extreme commitment with the organization.

http://muredhawks.ocsn.com/sports/m-hockey/recaps/101003aaa.html GO RedHawks!!!!!

...they are done. What a joke this game was. They dominated the Eagles and still lost. I think it's time for a new sheriff in Giants -town and the old sheriff is about to get run out of town. The Yanks better blow out the fish tonite as I can't take these close games anymore!

0 and 2. Nice work. This could be another LONG season... I'm kind of glad tonights loss was blacked out here upstate (we're only allowed to recieve a certain number of games up here - around 50 - due to NHL blackout laws)

Anybody catch any of the stuff that came out of Bryant's preliminary hearing yesterday? Not good. Several points made by the lead investigator. Allegations include: 1. Accuser wanted to meet Kobe. 2. Gave him a tour of the hotel/grounds 3. Went to his room at his request 4. Got into some flirting/kissing. 5. When Kobe wanted more she told him no. 6. Asked to see some tattoos she had on her back 7. When she turned he lifted up her skirt 8. Put his hands around her throat and...
