I Only Have Random Thoughts

It was in another lifetime when the NHL drew higher TV ratings than the NBA.
Things obviously are very different now and not about to change any time soon.
A perfect illustration of why that is can be viewed in the league's respective post season games to date.

The NHL looks nothing like the regular season.
Rules to add offense are no longer a major factor as teams play not to make mistakes.
Playoff hockey means being more responsible as it's always easier to coach stopping the other guy rather than going all out to score another goal.
The longer a tie game rolls on, the less likely you are of seeing anything truly spectacular lest you let the opposition score the go ahead goal.

Pro sports have always been built on however the last champion did it.
I'm supremely dissapointed at the way the Buffalo Sabres have gone about their playoff business, looking nothing like the team that wowed all during the regular season.

On the one hand, I hope they lose because of that.
On the other, I hope they return to form so that playoff hockey will change in the future.

It's why I'm cheering for the Phoenix Suns.
All out offense that will force the future of NBA teams to go in that direction as well.
It's not like they guys don't play defense, an unfair knock to be sure.
But they didn't change their game to try and win in the playoffs.
Good on them, good on the NBA.
Someone wake me up when the next playoff game shows us more than 5 goals.


Clearly the Yankees have fingered the proper culprit.
The reason for the terrible start, last in the AL East is....The strength and conditioning coach.
He should have brought in better and healthier pitchers in the off season.

Who is that guy in the Brodeur uni for the Devils.
Are the good times really over for good ?
Hey good on you Lou.
Fire yourself !

Jamarcus Russell !!!
Shock, isn't it that the Raiders were pathetic trying to score points.
Only NFL team not to draft a quarterback, running back, wide receiver or tight end in the first round over the last 10 years.
First 4 rounds this year...Three of the four.
Maybe Martin Brodeur has changed places with Al Davis
