It doesn’t seem like you understand most things.

No, if they do not get paid, they are not professionals. It’s a very simple concept.

They’re only considered amateur because they don’t get paid.

True. I think at this point, we can’t have a discussion about THE WORST, without at least mentioning Steve King.

I went to the game where W threw out the first pitch. Expect much longer than usual security lines. Usually the Home Plate and First Base entrances are the least crowded.

I’m pretty sure it has to be a skater on the ice at the time of the penalty that has to serve it initially. So if the other 4 skaters are good PK’rs, he would want to wait til the next whistle to throw someone in there from the bench. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.

When he was at Northeastern, they got their first taste of success in a long time. Finally a team so unpopular, they played their home games in the practice gym, was gonna play a televised game for the division championship. Well, they got crushed by Vermont and the only NU highlight was Barea punching someone in the…

I hate knowing that a large portion of our country will read the headlines and immediately go to that sentiment, while assuming a credentialed sports journalist would be returning home from the Super Bowl by walking through the desert.

Switzerland is essentially divided into three different segregated regions with different languages. I can’t speak for the other two regions, but German Switzerland is extremely German and not friendly to outsiders.

Had to google to appreciate.

I doubt his great, great great great great great great great granparents were in the Holocaust.

There was a Bo Jackson that played football and a Bo Jackson that played baseball. Apparently, there was one in tennis, basketball, and hockey too.

I agree with most of what you said, but personally see the conservatives as the idealistic ones. What is more idealistic than trickle-down economics and a self-regulating free market? They believe when people have money and power, they use it to make everyone’s lives better. They believe businesses won’t do bad…

The average career length is less than 3 years, because there’s a lot of players that aren’t that good, and get replaced by new players that aren’t that good. Injury plays a part in that, but you have to be good to have a long NFL career. It’s not cause players aren’t taking care of themselves.

I feel their ownership just doesn’t care if the team is doing well, it’s like a hobby to them that they look at in their spare time.

Agreed. Although the obvious fight in this list is Sakic/Yzerman, I came to voice my support and declare Leetch as the greatest American D-man of all time.

So Toews is black? Or did he make it because of his “intangibles?”
