Sadly they stopped that segment a year ago I think. Now they just do 'come on man'. ESPN: We were for violence before we were against it. Now NFL Films needs to go back and edit all the times it glorified monster hits in a cinematically breathtaking manner. Instead of Butkus crushing somebody's spleen, they can show him leading a prayer. In related news, Butkus is now football's greatest monster for the jarring number of big hits that defined his career.

Updates to Right Field Construction?

Do you mean the Target ad? I think the Target logo is where the Under Armor logo used to be. -
Just FYI, but supposedly the reports from the other day that he decided to enter the draft were debunked by Belein. I'm not naive enough to think that the reports don't have some level of truth to them, but it's not considered official yet.
-
I havent followed the last few pages of the 11-12 thread, but has anyone seen any "early top 25"s for next year?
-
yes but one less round of Foley. I dont know I go both ways. On one hand its nice to listen to the home guys you've heard all year. But on the other hand, the national broadcasts just seem bigger, and more like playoff games IMO.
-
Agreed about Nashville, but their chances are much higher than 0% to beat some of those other teams.

04/07 Nationals (1-0) vs. Cubs (0-1) 12:05 CT CSN

Wait, why wasn't Garza the opening day starter? Not that it matters much, just wondering. -
Thought this was an interesting schedule quirk: In the Bulls last 14 games, their opponent was on the 2nd night of a back to back 11 times. In that same span, the Bulls have played just 2 back to backs.
-
Are you eager to get the season over with since you're already certain the Hawks are losing in the 1st round?
-
Who the hell is Shawn Camp? Granted I didnt pay much attention to spring training, but I usually have at least heard of people who are on the active roster.

Here's how Saturday shakes out: -Hawks win in regulation: Hawks 101 points, 39 regulation wins, 10 points vs. Wings Wings 101 points, 39 regulation wins, 4 points vs. Wings Result: 4 Nashville vs. 5 Chicago -Hawks win in OT or shootout Wings 102 points Hawks 101 points Result: 3 Pacific winner vs. 6 Chicago -Hawks lose in regulation, OT or shootout: Wings 103 points Hawks 99 or 100 points Result: 3 Pacific winner vs. 6 Chicago
-
Giving up 1 goal in the game is typical hocks? :)
-
Hawks lose again in the shootout. Stuck on 99 points. Would be nice to get a point in Detroit because 99 sounds much worse than 100 4 of the last 5 Hawks games have ended in a shootout. The Hawks are 1-3 in those shootouts.
-
Nashville loses...the best the Hawks can do is the 5 seed. No thanks. Dallas is officially eliminated, meaning the 6 seed will be playing either LA, SJ or Phoenix.
-
Also, as far as Nashville goes, the Predators are up 2-0 right now, if they do in fact win, the Hawks chance of getting home ice is over I believe. The Hawks would be 2 points down with 1 to play, and they would lose all tiebreakers as Nashville clinched the regulation/OT wins already and dominated the Hawks in H2H
-
If the Hawks can win before the shoot out, the last game against Detroit will be interesting. The Hawks would be 1 point behind Detroit and tied in regulation/OT wins, meaning that any type of Blackhawks win would push them ahead of Detroit to end the season (the 2nd tiebreaker is non-shootout wins, the 3rd is number of points in H2H games which the Hawks would win). If the Hawks win in a shootout, they would need a non-shootout win over Detroit to pass the Wings. If the Hawks only take 1 point tonight, they would need a win in regulation (detroit cant get a point).
-
3 minutes from a shutout win. Stupid penalty to take with so little time left Bickell. Grrr
-
Well the Texans wouldn't exist if the county told the NFL that a new expansion team would be playing in the Astrodome. Around 1996 the Astros threatened to move without a new stadium. So unless Houston wanted to risk being a 1 team town, they pretty much had to build those stadiums.
-
Meh, not as interested in W/L this year than I am about individual results. I'll have to take a look at the boxscore and see if there's anything worth salvaging from this game. At least the new video board looks nice :)
-
Yay for our 8th and 9th inning relievers. Bulls and Hawks on tonight!
-
So the Cubs don't play tomorrow? When is the last time the Cubs had a Friday off day not including rainouts?
-
Bill Murray is trying too hard to be funny here.
-
14 pages? Probably would have been the largest game thread of the last 161 games last year. Remember when random games in May would sometimes go over 100 pages. How does Strasbourg look?
-
This is how we get treated for rescuing him off the scrap heap?
-
I hate that I am not more excited about this. I keep forgetting that tomorrow is opening day. I don't know why but I'm just not in baseball mode yet. I'm more excited about this years team than the last 2 but just not yet. This will be the first year since 2004 that I won't be going to the home opener which is rather disappointing. Hopefully by tuning into the game tomorrow, I will quickly build my excitement for the season.
