Brendan Shanahan retiring after 21 seasons in NHL - ESPN

One of the best power forwards ever to lace up and hit the ice.

He was integral to the Red Wings being the team that they are today. He was also integral to the NHL being what it is today with his work after the lockout.

:cheers

Yes or no?

Gimp might be the only one who says right!! :D

His exact condition isn't being disclosed, but apparently he has to go to the Mayo Clinic for treatment of this illness...Considering that's one of the best treatment facilitites you will find anywhere, I don't think it's just the flu...

They're talking about him being done with fighting :2eek

So, we're nearly done with Week 10. Which means that every team out there has gotten into the downhill part of the season.

So, with just a little more than half of the season over with, what are your biggest surprises so far in the NFL this year??

Players, teams, records, coaches...anything.

55-21? at Home!

Okay... this better be the Sunday!!!

Before I even try to post anything about them, does anyone else even know who they are?

This is a pretty bad video copy of it, but the guy lands HARD.

You should be able to see it here, too. You just have to wait through the ad.
It occurs about 30 seconds into the video.

California RB Jahvid Best leaves game after scary fall - ESPN

Did you guys SEE that punch?? Holy fuck. That was absolutely amazing.

Chiefs at Jaguars - Jax
Texans at Colts - Indy
Dolphins at Patriots - Miami
Redskins at Falcons - Atlanta
Panthers at Saints - New Orleans
Lions at Seahawks - Seattle
Titans at 49ers - San Fran
Chargers at Giants - NY
Cowboys at Eagles - Dallas

Monday Night's Game
Steelers at Broncos - Pitt

Shows back on... and I'm thinking this will be a defining week for a few teams!!!

I expect to see NE play their best game of the season so far... I don't think the score will be as lopsided as the last two games, but they're playing at home, rested, and with renewed confidence.

I think the winner of the Eagles/Dallas game will roll right into the playoffs...

If the Giants lose this week, the wheels will start to fall off...

The Bengals/Raves game could turn out to be the best one this weekend!!!

I don't see any big surprises this weekend... unless the Skins beat the Falcons!!!:eatpop

I went into a betting pool this weekend!!!

The deal is, I bet 5.00, and guess the winner of every game today... and the point total and winner for tomorrow's game in the event of a necessary tie breaker!!!

No real shocker picks except these...
Ravens over Broncos
Lions over Rams
Titans over Jags

The winner usually ends up with 150.00, so it should keep the weekend interesting enough to watch!!!:eatpop

So, Oregon is really handing it to the Trojans right now. Wow. What an ass whipping!!!!

It's 41-20 right now, but I think USC just threw an incomplete pass on third down...so Oregon will get the ball right back.

On a side note...is Oregon in a competition with, well nobody really, to have the ugliest uniforms in the NCAA?? This year it's wings...last year it was some metal looking pattern...what will it be next year??

Here is the AP Poll

I did NOT expect Kentucky to be #4 (with 3 first place votes!)
