Really? What's the scoop?

Well, Republicans can't all be fine upstanding citizens like Teddy Kennedy, John Edwards, Bill Clinton, or Al Gore, can they?

I've read that Detroit is going to go after Niskanen hard.

Rochester MN has a Junior A team with the same name too...

Actually, he's a former UMD Bulldog...and hopefully future Detroit Red Wing.

You too, Blackheart? I always knew you were a Communist spy!

I kinda like it...but I think the argument to be made against it will be that it pertains primarily to the ice hockey teams of the university as opposed to encompassing all athletics.

The Canadiens had the good fortune of playing a Tampa Bay team that was devastated by the loss of Ben Bishop in goal - easy two games there in Tampa for the Habs. If the Kings weren't 6-4 on the road, they would have been eliminated by now because they went 7 with San Jose and Anaheim. 2010 Stanley Cup Champions...2013 Stanley Cup Champions...time to fire the coach and trade Patrick Kane if there is no third Stanley Cup in five seasons? Yikes.

Burn the heretic!

Sheesh...some of Wilbur's luck is rubbing off on me I guess...

The Hawks? As opposed to RedHawks? Or River Hawks? I threw out Mustangs a while back but not the horse kind, the plane kind...

Jaroslav Halak signs with the Islanders...interesting choice. The sooner Wang sells that team, the better. It's a shame they're leaving Long Island.

love Love LOVE The Italian Moon! Never miss it when I am in town.

Wow...the Blackhawks are 3 wins away from the Stanley Cup Finals, right?

It's the Wild...the land of 10,000 former Gophers. I guarantee you that they'll make a run at Thomas Vanek. Book it.

http://tracking.si.com/2014/05/22/prince-fielder-seriously-considering-season-ending-surgery-rangers/ Did I mention how much I liked the Fielder for Kinsler trade? It's like deja-vu around here...it's like deja-vu around here.

Should Charles Barkley be reprimanded by the NBA or TNT for his recent comments about San Antonio too?

I meant that with respect to some back-woods New Orleans Voodoo...but I see what you did with my thought there...well-played. I loved Robert Byrd...only a Dem could say what he did and get off scott-free.

I agree...funny how they gloss over the white guy with face tatts...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2636533/Mark-Cuban-comes-fire-claiming-hed-cross-street-saw-black-kid-hoodie.html Now what will the NBA do with Mark Cuban?

Point 1 - totally agree. There's ZERO reason to be wearing a T-Wolves jersey or Vikings jersey to a Sioux game. Ever. Point 2 - totally agree again. I've never seen someone with a name on the back of a jersey but no number. Absolute foul. Point 3 - numbers only are fine if they're era-specific and names on the back didn't exist then. But if you're buying a 2014 Sioux, er, UND jersey and are just going to put a number on it, in my humble opinion, it just looks like something's missing.

The whole realignment of college football has made me lose some interest in watching...college basketball is bad too.

Plus it's offensive to some folks in Louisiana...

Technically correct, which is why I don't buy or wear US flag swimming trunks or shirts covered in the flag. I think this is something the WWII generation had drilled into them but has fallen on the wayside with generations after...

That shouldn't be a big surprise at all...build a stadium, get an All-Star game or Super Bowl...that's how the game is played.
