There are some things you take for granted or forget about while watching the two most offensively skilled teams throw blows at each other for 2 weeks. Some of them center around the marquee players, the Crosbys, the Malkins, but there are 20 players on the roster. This series brought out everyone's game again at the right time

Ulduar: A Week In Review

Posted 04/21/09 at 4:21 PM by sovelis41
After several sports related entries, I feel it's time to actually put something in the WoW folder for once. Ulduar was released this week and it was an event that has been highly anticipated since most raid groups finished up with Naxx around November 15th and Sarth 3D November 17th. A slight exaggeration there, but it would be an understatement.

My picks for the '08-'09 NHL awards, Michigan State gets pounded in their "home" stadium, The Masters is this week, and some thoughts on the NHL changing the standings scoring system. If they started handing out 3 points for a regulation win or stopped giving out overtime loss points, would your favorite team be any closer (or further away) from late Spring hockey?

Eastbound & Down - As American As Apple Pie

Kevin Costner got it wrong.

The 1989 Oscar nominated hit reminded the country why it loves baseball. This story of self-discovery and passion is one that touched fans across the nation (and world).

This was before the Steroid Era.
