Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big East fan, but the SEC to me is as good as it gets top to bottom each year in football; you can say the same about the Big East in basketball

I'm back on hockey!

Please take a look at my latest article documenting Tim Thomas' rise from nothing to become one of the NHL's premier goaltenders when you get a free moment.

Thanks,
Patrick

levinakl, do you remember the last great Baseball movie to come out? It feels like awhile huh? I just saw the next great one last night. It's called 'Sugar', it comes out on DVD Tuesday and here is my review of it- http://bleacherreport.com/articles/243227-sugar-small-but-sweet-an-excellent-non-traditional-baseball-movie

Hey levinakl,

Mark Buerhle's superhuman performance on Thursday brought back great memories for me of the last American League pitcher prior to pitch a perfect game. On July 18th, 1999, I watched my favorite player David Cone add his name to a hallowed list. Only nine years old, it was a mesmerizing moment much like my first time at Disney World. And in this article, I relived it!

Hey,

The biggest week of games to date this season begins for the Mets with Six games against the Phillies and the Yankees, its a real test for a team that has dealt with quite a bit during this early part of the season. With this I'm presenting another version of my Top Five with the subject centering around how the Mets can be successful this week against the Phils and Yanks. I hope you enjoy and thanks in advance.

Its time to finally come clean, Im not a Yankee fan, I only play one on TV and in reality Im a Die Hard Mets fan who is very frustrated with everything surrounding this franchise right now. Then again, its ok cause they're BATTLING every night, right? Wrong and below is my article on the reasons why. Thanks in advance.

Hey man! Well, guess what. You were right, and I was wrong. The cap is going to go down in the NHL... so that sparked my interest on a new idea. So, I re-did my thoughts... check it out! Now tell me what's wrong ;) !!

Hey,

Hockey Hall of Famer Scott Stevens' career ended kind of awkwardly. In January of 2004 he missed a few games with the flu and then was diagonsed with Post-Concussion-Syndrome and missed the rest of the season. He would never play again as a lockout wiped out the following season and then his official retirement in September of 2005. Truly one of the greats and my favorite athlete of all-time, I don't feel I have ever honored him the way he earned and I really hope I did it with this article- http://bleacherreport.com/articles/172153-scott-stevens-forever-beloved-forever-hated-and-forever-remembered

Hi, did you see the NY page? i think we should make it better and take the page under are wing, its time to for us to represent NY and show the world what this great place is all about. Are you in ?

Now that we got the NY page under way we need a Community leader so you can vote on this page.

Hey,

I was thinking of writing a humourous "report card" article for the Leafs. Then I saw your article and began to think it might be seen as playgarism? Well, you seem to have gotten to it first, so would you mind if I make one that is slighty similar?

It would be out of the team, and mark them on goaltending, offense, defense etc.

Cheers,
--Andrew
