Quick Shots: If You Are An Out Of Market Blackhawk Fan, The NHL Says "Screw You"
- The NHL is the only major sport which does not televise each and every playoff game on free TV. Although Versus showed the first period of the Hawks game as "bonus coverage", the second and third periods were unavailable. This sucks if you live out of market like I do. At least they are winning at this point and playing a lot more discipline than Calgary is right now. But come on, Gary Bettman. No one should be denied watching their team in the playoffs. This is why people still laugh at your sport and at you.
- After what must have been his worst night ever in a Sox uniform, The Cuban Missile shakes it off and launches a bags packed Cuban Rocket.
- The White Sox pitching hopes now come right down Broadway. Jack Egbert threw a ton of ground balls Friday night. They either found holes or teammates who dropped them. He'll be back eventually. I'm sure there are people calling the Score postgame show demanding the White Sox bring up Gordon Beckham to pitch in relief.
- Our thoughts and prayers go out for a speedy recovery for the father of the triangle offense.
- What exactly were the Raiders thinking in the first round of the draft today? Speed is good, but speed and skills are better. That was always Davewood Bumstedt's problem. He'd get a crapload of speed guys, but none of them could play. No word on whether Al Davis has declared "all the pieces are in place."
- For the first time since 1978, the Bears pick no one in the first two rounds. They did try to acquire Anquan Bouldin, but all of the Bears draft capital was spent on Jay Cutler. Jerry Angelo is left shopping in the $.99 record bin for a wide receiver, a defensive back and some interior line help. All of the other teams in the division got better with some solid picks. I'm not sold on Matthew Stafford as a number one pick. He wasn't even the best quarterback in the SEC. And, Minnesota picking Percy Harvin will be a good pick if they can keep Percy out of trouble. In a place like Minneapolis, that's a lot easier said than done.
- It never fails that when anything happens, even something by accident, some fringe group will go nuts. Let me get this straight: There's a cat loose on the field who could bite, scratch or injure multi million dollar ballplayers and people are worried about the cat. Please get a life, please.
- Here's why Cub fans are whining crybabies: Before Dusty Baker became manager of the Cubs, Cub fans were begging for the Cubs to hire him.. When the Cubs did, they rejoiced/ Four years later, they ran him out of town and begged for Lou Piniella . Lou took the job and they rejoiced again. Three years later, they are starting to grease the skids again. No wonder this team can't win. Bad karma starts with the fans.
- Another great broadcaster hangs it up.
- Here's debate among a bunch of Internet Geeks on what's the greatest baseball movie ever. The only correct answer is "Field of Dreams." Sorry, fellas, Bull Durham is a "chick flick." disguised as a baseball movie.
- If the rumors are true, the end of the world is near.
