First off kick back on the numbers he picked up on sub par American League East pitching staffs alright. Jeff Kent threw up tremendous fantasy numbers for years helped the Giants get to the world series and then the team fell apart in game 6 behind his awesome leadership, oh yeah with Bonds'...

A Rod will get my respect when he does it when it matters. If he reverts back to what he was last year, if and when the Yankees can get close to contention, then this hot start of his wont mean a thing. If the team finishes under 500 or third in the east, then he's no different then Miguel...

Federer's gotta beat Nadal at the French eventually. If not I don't care how many Grand Slams he wins, people will always say he couldn't beat Nadal, and thus Never be accepted as the greatest ever. Which is why I'm picking Federer. I still don't think he's quite as good as Sampras was in his...

As a Red Sox fan, I have to say you both suck. No no I don't mean that, like the other cat said all teams have their idiots. Just look at the dodger fans here in so cal, they invade angels stadium during freeway series, petco every series, and God forbid I go to the revine wearing a Jake Peavy...

So I guess shooting a puck at an opposing player isn't cheap? Whatever, if Colin Campbell says the hit wasn't all that bad, then I'll side with him. Go Ducks, end this on Wednesday, and leave no doubt.

I know its after the fact, but after being outplayed in 5 straight games, why would you think that Detroit was gonna mount a comeback? Not trying to be an ***** here, but they were sleepwalking through the playoffs you had to figure it would catch up with them eventually.

Aint it funny how people have such different taste. I can't think of anybody I know or at the bars I go to that would ever ask for Absolut, and yet here it is winning this poll.

anybody ever see that episode of "The Simpsons" where the springfield Isotopes were playing really good baseball and were in the championship. Homer jumps on the bandwagon, then someone mentions they might lose, Homer goes "They lost!!! Those losers!!!" and throws his hat away. But then they win...
