  1. A lot of this will become clearer after next week
  2. Who started it in Boston or who started it in sports altogether?
  3. I believe the sabermetricians have added Ability to Draw Walks as the 6th tool
  4. The Rangers had a vastly better record last season when Avery was in the lineup than when he was out. I can't really understand why but I think it's a largely irrelevant statistic since the Stars went completely into the tank this season after reaching the Western Conference finals. Honestly, I just don't think Brett Hull is a very good general manager and I'll bet the organization is having second thoughts on firing Doug Armstrong. Hull let some good, solid role players go in the off-season like Miettenen and Hagman. Plus they lost Norstrom to retirement and the effects are showing.
  5. The Rangers could still want Sean Avery while determining that he isn't worth $4 million a year. I believe setting a value on a talent and sticking to that is how every successful organization does business
  6. Id be shocked if Avery played another game for Dallas. Hell, even the Stars' farm team came out today and said under no circumstances will they accept Avery on their team
  7. Well, he did play in 135 games....
  8. sup BOY
  9. im not gonna defend Harrison cause im far from being a Pats fan or a Harrison fan but in terms of Avery, what he said was more than just "verbal jabs". He embarassed the organization he plays for and like Tom Hicks said, if the NHL didn't suspend him then the Stars would have. And as far as the NHL goes, it's the same deal, those words were embarassing to the league and offensive to women, they have every right to make an example of him. BTW, you bought up that he said he was wrong and apologized, while this is true, did you see that apology? It was so contrived and obviously fed to him by his publicist. He was quick to gather TV cameras around him to say his stupid comments but he wasn't apologetic enough to gather the cameras outside the NHL offices in New York today to deliver that apology, he had to do it through a statement.
  10. Just need a healthy team and we'll be in the WS again
  11. not that it matters, but the deal is a 3-year, $4 million as opposed to the originally reported 3-years, $3 million
  12. wow, im surprised theyre following the story that closely, what with it being Pittsburgh and all
  13. 2 years, IOW a shade under what his salary was with the Sox & Braves
  14. it wouldnt surprise me. his defense is by far his strong point and Detroit has enough pop that they can hide Wilson in their lineup
  15. His defense was marginally worse last year than over his career but once again, his hitting sucked in the AL. He's going back to the NL and he'll probably thrive.
  16. yea, thats why I voted to veto it. Im tied for 2nd
  17. meh, he only hit above 25 once and he's a mediocre hitter who doesnt get on base
  18. I'm in a fantasy football league with a rather large pot. I woke up this morning to see the following trade was accepted last night: 1st place team gives: - DeSean Jackson - Jonathan Stewart 8th place team gives: - Bryan Westbrook - Roy E. Williams For all intents and purposes, the guy with the 8th place team is out of the running. The guys who own each of these teams happen to be very good friends. Am I right to think there is something shady going on here?
  19. Gom diddles himself to Miley Cyrus pictures
  20. its definitely a publicity stunt but I think the term "publicity stunt" carries an unfair negative connotation to it
  21. the one thing about this that hasnt been mentioned in this thread is that when Avery walked into the locker room, he gathered all the media around him first and waited until they set up their cameras and whatnot, THEN delivered his stupid line if he says it to Phaneuf on the ice, its a non-issue but the fact that he says it in the media to publicly embarass Phaneuf, Cuthbert, his team, the league and himself is the biggest problem I have
