Well the Hawks are playing Philly tonight......then tomorrow they have St Louis. Whom they need to beat.

Any Big Ten teams left in that Tourney? Be about the extent of my looking into it.
 
Hawks lost to Philly.....and tonight they see St Louis. Who they have had trouble with all year. Just like with Colorado. Looks like all the Party time and the High-life has all caught up to them.
 
Heya TG.....Did you see the hawks and Blues Game. 4-0 Hawks.....but I heard Kane may be out for the rest of the regular season. Lower Body injury. But they are saying he should be back for the play-offs.
 
Yo .....Yourstar......aren't you a Atlanta Falcons Fan? What do you think about Atlanta picking up Hester from Da Bears and signing him to 3 years?

Booze is legal. Driving on it isn't. Therefore, even if the pain meds were legal (which I don't think they are, since he had no surgeries recently that I'm aware of) it wouldn't absolve him from driving on them.

And yeah, overall DP isn't very sports-inclined. Lots of pasty-faces here, and some people here who think soccer is a sport.

When did soccer become a sport?? That's like calling synchronized swimming a sport.

My bracket looks ugly, but I'm guessing that it's not as ugly as others. I only had Duke going to the Sweet 16, where they lose to Michigan.

Yeah, I pick up bits of it when listening to the news on the way to work and back. I didn't know if they were down to that point.


Did you hear that bit on Hester signing 3 years with Atlanta?

Yeah but it's no big deal. Return specialists are obsolete, thanks to the new kickoff rules. He's barely a serviceable wide out. Barely made a splash in free market.

Well that's true......but you do have to take into effect who he had as a QB. He might shine some place else as a go to guy, 3rd receiver. I did notice Lovey didn't pick him up tho.
 
WAHOOWA!

First time in my memory that I honestly think UVA has a legitimate chance of going deep in the tourny. They looked real good last night. After that rough first half in the first game they've been pretty solid

Sports suck this time of year.

Unless I really am in a bar, I'm not much into watching March Madness tournament basketball. In fact, I've grown to hate watching basketball altogether. The pros are full of spoiled brats who don't even try until the month of May. And, college, with the one and done nonsense, is just not worth the trouble to follow except when Cinderella teams like Dayton or Stanford manage to knock off one of the the one-and-done squads.

Baseball starts now, but with 162 games to fill out a season, who can get excited about spring training? Even when the real games begin, no one cares who's winning in April. I guess a star reliever getting his skull cracked in a March exhibition game is a worthy mention, since something like that will effect the team for rest of the season. But, that's the kind of thing you can read about. No need to watch any games or bother listening to them on the radio until mid-August.

There's racing....yeah--there's racing. Sorry, my IQ is a bit too high to get off on watching cars that look like the Hot Wheels from my priest-bait years going around in circles. Why exactly is that the sport with like a 40-week season? Someone out there must have a wicked sense of humor.

Golf? Meh, Tiger sucks already this year. With his bad back, chances of him winning any of the last four majors he needs to catch Jack this year are probably on par with me winning a couple of them. I probably won't even bother reading about golf until he comes back healthy.

When's football start again?

Hockey is still going on and soon will be heading into the Play-offs. Plus Boxing is still around. Course I am sure there is some other sporting events taking place too.

Not to mention can always talk about whatever comes up with some athletes. Always something happening with them.

I actually forgot about hockey. Which is easy to do considering the radio talk guys I listen to while driving into work every morning never mention it.

Local hockey here would be minor leagues. The closest NHL team is the Blue Jackets, but most folks follow the Red Wings---I work with a lot of Detroit transplants, not to mention run up to Mi on business at least once every few months. I'm a Hawks fan though from way back. No way I could cheer for Red Wings.

I don't know. I've got Michigan State winning that part of the bracket.

Hawks had a chance to catch St Louis last night and blew it. Lost to Nashville for a second time in a week. Plus now with Kane down until the Play-Off. They might want to jockey themselves out of the 2-3 seats.
 
The NFL Proves Yet Again It's The No Fun League With Dunk Celebration Ban.....

The NFL Proves Yet Again It's The No Fun League With Dunk Celebration Ban



Refs will penalize players who dunk over the goal post

The goal post dunk, a favored post-touchdown celebration of many NFL players, is going the way of the Ickey Shuffle, the cell phone call, the Sharpie in the sock and all of the other celebrations banned by the No Fun League

350x-144.jpg


NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino told the Dan Patrick Show that starting this season, dunks will be a penalty. Dan Patrick Show producer Paul Pabst ‏tweets that the NFL has a rule against using the ball as a prop, and apparently that’s the rule that will be used to ban dunks. So it’s not a new rule, it’s a new interpretation of an existing rule.....snip~

Penalty.....Dunking Unsportsmanlike. :roll:
 
Any soccer fans here? Seems that Arsenal's title chances are now looking unimaginable; United's season's now cemented as laughable (if it wasn't already); and Messi is still the king of kings.
