Slow day in the media tent? They are interviewing Ryan Moore ... extensively.

My "beach" home is in Arizona on a golf course and has a pool/spa. Have yet to see any sharks.

Bishop looks to be less than 100%, but he was the better goalie tonight. We've discussed Chicago's lack of depth on defense, and now Johnny Oduya might be injured. That would be a big loss. Funny that Toews, Kane and Stamkos have all been kept off the scoresheet in the first three games. Tampa look...

The old generation in me will be rooting for Lefty to get his career Grand Slam. Go Phil!

Also interested to see how Fox fucks up the broadcast. Greg Norman ... really?

Waiting for the guest cameo by Tim McCarver, too.

i should probably know this, having followed college hockey a bunch in the past (...although i could give a shit about NCAA rules etc), but this just occurred to me: how is Jack Eichel and/or BU not violating NCAA rules when he goes to the Scouting Combine in Buffalo (as well as every other NCAA pr...

So, Phil Kessel on the trading block.

Who wants a 30 goal scorer who still has managed to be a minus player for 8 of his 9 NHL seasons, including a -34 this season? He also has a cap hit of $8M for the next 7 years. Any takers?

Enrique Iglesias is probably out for the finals, too. hand injury.

With all the Lebron vs. Michael talk, I was thinking who would be on the All Time NBA Teams. I'll go first. 5 positions only. Point Guard. Shooting Guard. Shooting Forward. Power Forward. Center. First and Second Teams allowed. First Team: PG: Oscar Robertson SG: Michael Jordan SF: Lebron James PF: ...

Will root for Hawks because of Toews connection. Really like the Bolts, though. Should be entertaining and I won't be disappointed if Bolts win in a good series. Wonder if St. Louis wishes he hadn't forced his way out of Tampa? Glad to see Anaheim lose. For all his skill, Perry is a weasel, and I pr...

Duncan Keith with an unbelievable amount of minutes and yet still the best D-man in the Playoffs by far this year. Extra day off before Game 7's will be most valuable to Chicago, playing 4 D. Anaheim would rather play tomorrow, I'm sure. Nothing, as far as results go, will surprise me in these Confe...

But the guy could make a tie!

If Babcock can get Kessel to go into a corner or play defense he deserves anything they are paying him and more. My guess, Kessel is a healthy scratch before (U.S.) Thanksgiving, or else traded.

As a Chicago fan, they were outplayed last night, again. Anaheim is the class of the NHL this year, but I will continue to hope Chicago can win this series. Either way, I think the West winner will win the Cup. Anaheim is a perfect blend of physicality and Star power, sometimes in the same body (Get...

I'm so old I remember when he had a Mid-morning talk show on NBC before he went late night. Always cutting edge, always funny. I felt NBC made a mistake when he did not get the Post-Johnny Carson gig. Even though Jay Leno was excellent, Letterman would have been better. Always assumed it was because...

I, for one, enjoyed how last night's game was officiated. Instead of swallowing their whistles, the officials called the game like it was a regular season game. The result was more offensive opportunities and a very entertaining game. It also allowed a small, skilled forward like Tyler Johnson to sh...

Sooo ... that's not quite Mike Babcock, huh Flyers fans? I've heard Hakstol actually turned down Hextall twice before taking the job. This is definitely an "outside the box" move by Philly. No question Hakstol is a great hockey coach, but, he has no NHL pedigree. College programs practice...

So the Bills will get the Pats coming off a 10 day rest and with Brady starting for the first time. If I was a betting man, I'd be all over that one. If Brady gets suspended (which certainly looks likely), he's looking at something more like 4 games. Maybe even 8. No fucking way. 2 games Max.

Eichel is very good, but he's not McDavid. In Buffalo's best interest: after drafting him #2, send Eichel back to BU next year. Finish last again. Try better to get #1 next year. Auston Matthews at US NTDP in Ann Arbor broke all of Patrick Kane's records this year. He seems a possible #1 next year. ...

He's on the gravy train now! Recruiting: Assistants will do most of it. He'll make the occasional appearance or phone call to close the deal on a 4 or 5 Star player, that's about it.

I think, if FSU wins and tOSU wins and Oregon wins and Bama wins, they will be the final 4. I also think FSU would most likely move up to #3. OSU is NOT in the playoff in the scenario you describe above. They're just not. That home loss to Va Tech screwed them (and rightly so). Also, the B1G was cr...

I think, if FSU wins and tOSU wins and Oregon wins and Bama wins, they will be the final 4. I also think FSU would most likely move up to #3. Having said that, I can see either or both FSU and tOSU losing Saturday, which would really put things in a tizzy. I still don't think both Baylor and TCU wou...

As I understand it though, Ebola isn't really contagious until symptoms begin to show. That's a huge difference from HIV.

Howard obviously will know more, but is this not transmitted by any bodily fluids, and not through the air, per se (though a cough or sneeze aerosol could transmit it also by way of saliva)?

I think the backlash for the shortness of the Ray Rice suspension will also work in Gordon's favor.
