The problem is that there is always some optimist that thinks they can fix guys like Bradley.

Kenny Williams would be fired on the spot for making that trade.
There is no chance of Beckham being traded. I think Kenny Williams would trade his own son (who is a Sox farmhand BTW) before he'd trade "Bacon".*

I sometimes watch the skiing on Universal Sports. Slalom is not her fort?.
FYI in case you've never seen it, Universal Sports airs the stuff ESPN used to air before they put on their big boy pants. They air skiing, cycling, track and field, etc.
The 1996 US WCOH roster was a veritable Dream Team of American hockey players, with guys like Brett Hull, Chris Chelios, John LeClair, Jeremy Roenick, Mike Modano and Mike Richter all at the pinnacle of their careers.
Canada, Russia, USA.
In terms of the USA, this is the strongest team we've had since the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. The team we had in Torino in 2006 were just guys who played in the NHL and happened to be American.
