  1. No, because all he does is lose.Except in the Gold Cup, where we won.And the World Cup qualifying, where we went 11-2-3, finishing at the top of the hex. And the World Cup, where we advanced from a group we had no business advancing out of. So basically he just did what Bob Bradley did (except we had to get rid of him). Don't mention that last year USMNT had a losing record for first time in forever. But yeah, Klinsmann has really bought us to new heights.
  2. No, because all he does is lose. He talked this big game and doesn't deliver. Then when things go to shit he blames everyone else.
  3. Re: Klinsmann: When does someone point out the emperor has no clothes? But as long as Sunil is a mark for the guy he's got the job for as long as he wants.
  4. When Lou looks at his awful roster, then looks at an empty arena he may find it in his heart to forgive and forget (with a little nudge from ownership of course).
  5. Anyone who watched MLS this week and thinks expansion is a good idea is insane. Quality is going down, so let's add a bunch more teams!!! And the morons in the Post and News questioning Petkie being called a legend for our club are clueless. Bondy of all people should know better That he's one of the most beloved players in team history, not just the most successful coach we ever had.
  6. If you want to see how one player can make all the difference look at the Revs. Last year once they got Jones they caught fire. With him being out so far they have been total dogshit. The east is so horrible this year that it's entirety possible that one of the expansion teams could win it.
  7. Bucks-Nets goes to triple OT. This is the second time this season they've done so. Anyone know the last time two teams played a pair of triple OT games in a season?
  8. If anyone can direct me to an mp3 of the 10,9,8,76ers song from the 70's that they play at WFC it would be greatly appreciated (looking at Gregg or CM here).
  9. Do you realize the people who paid to get into this Devils-Sabres game could've used that money to get at least 5 orders of wings at Duff's and had enough left over to get a beer and a fried baloney sandwich?
  10. Am I the only one who wants to see Left Shark brought in as a celebrity and face the bunny?
  11. They did it against a D League team so it doesn't count.Was at Nets-Sixers and it was basically two bad teams playing bad. Didn't help that the officials decided to take the broken windows theory and apply it to officiating a basketball game, resulting in a parade to the free throw line.
  12. Would've said It was closer to 90% full. Atmosphere was insane, like a playoff game at the Nassau Colliseum level loud. My friend actually went down and stormed the court with the Harvard students.
  13. Ron Wilson went on the air during TSN Trade Center and openly admitted he participated in matchfixing while in the NHL. I am not making this up. He literally sat there and said he was instructed by management to do everything in his power to ensure his team lost games, and that the challenge was figuring out ways to get his players to agree to do it without actually outright telling them to throw games. This is an established, respected hockey figure. Nobody in the media said a word and the only legal action to come out of the show was Joffrey Lupul threatening to sue some guy on twitter. The NHL doesn't care. They're not going to do anything. I have to admit I find the glee some people have about their team losing to be shit. I don't want to lose. I want to win. I want to win every game. If that means the Oilers never pick first overall ever again, fucking great. The only suggestion I can make is an absolute, straight lottery system between every team that misses the playoffs. But even then, it's capped at 20% now to get first overall. And look at this shit show. It's ridiculous. I want to see the Sabres win a Stanley Cup in my lifetime. We have a shot at a guy who would all but guarantee that happenig and a consolation prize of a guy who would be a pretty big step towards that goal. Tanking is really the only way things get better because even though Pegulia will spend $$$ it's next to impossible to get a franchise player via FA in the NHL because they almost never hit the open market. And then you end up giving stupid money to Ville Leino in desperation.
  14. Oilers with at least a loser point so our lead is back up to 4 points.
  15. Congrats grizz! Goal was one for the all time blooper reel.
  16. But they are a shoe in for an at large bid!
  17. Game is godawful? Let's take out the one world class player! That should make everything better.
  18. The english commentary is about as professional as what you would find on a public access broadcast of a high school game in Bumblefuck County. Seriously they could pull two people from the stands and they would do a better job than Calligiri and that other guy.
  19. You can make a good case that Boychuck is the key reason Isles went from gong show to legit contender. Saw that the deal Is front loaded and drops to $4 mil for last 2 years so I don't think back end will be a Pronger like cap killer. Also think they still have plenty of room w/cap even if it does go down, not to mention almost all key players are locked up at reasonable prices.
  20. FWIW the people on the Islandermania board are doing backflips over the deal. People criticising the deal fail to understand how symbolic this is to the Isles fan base. Remember this is the team that traded for a retired player they weren't going to have to pay just because his cap hit would get them above the floor. But not only is the deal good for credibility, it was important because Boychuck has made an incredible impact on this team and they couldn't afford to lose him.
  21. After last night I've come to the conclusion that Lafayette are communist scum!
  22. Wasn't really carping about them, just hate the "We can't support Metro because they play in Jersey" types who are a blight on humanity. Also, I knew this was going to happen with the Yankee players and their fans bitching about sawker ruining their field (apparently they are made of less stern stuff than the Yankee teams who shared the old stadium with the old Generals in the late 60's). MLS rushed into this while ignoring just about every precondition they had for an expansion franchise because they saw $$$ and it's come back to bite them in the ass. Sad part is that even with as bad a job as the City people have done and all the mistakes they have made the initial signs have been far more positive than I expected. Actually, here's a solution I can see happening: team reaches an agreement with the Wilponzis to play at Citi Field, because they don't give a flying fuck about their team or fans so they'll gladly take the money. BTW major bonus points to you if you can screen capture my name on the STH scarf :-) . With City at this point I am almost hoping they are a great success to the point they embarass the Red Bull morons into selling the team.
  23. If you had tomorrow (and not today) in the shit hitting the fan on YSv2.0 hosting a soccer team (complete with whining from Yankee players), YOU LOSE! I can't wait to see the "we are too good to support a team who plays in Jersey" types if they end up having to groundshare with us in Harrison.
  24. A friend hooked me up for the big Ivy League showdown this Saturday. How's this for a full day: 1pm: Flyers-Wings, 4pm Yale-Harvard, 7:30pm Sixers-Nets.
  25. Mario was bigger, stronger, faster and led the league in scoring while missing half a season with cancer. Easy decision Gordie was a slightly above average NHL 'er... in his 50's. And I think you would get an argument on the strength thing from Lou Founiano (sp?), whose face Gordie famously rearranged in a fight in the 50s.
