I was at the Eagles game so I missed it...but yeah, heard they were as flat as most expected. Also heard that Jody Shelley will probably be suspended, which is the only good sports news for me today. And yeah, I agree. The goaltending is interesting. Pisses me off that they are using Bob so rarely now (and probably even more rarely now with Leighton healthy). I'd rather see him play every day in the AHL than sparingly with the big club. But the AHL team is a mess this year (on pace to potentially be the worst team in AHL history), so maybe it's a good idea to keep him far away from all of that. No idea really. Best bet is probably to trade/waive Leighton, but who knows what they have planned.

Raped, and Kimmo Timonen hurt. Spectacular.

Worst sports night in recent memory. As great as last week was, that's how bad tonight is. Eagles lose. Flyers dismantled. Very disappointing. The good news is that the Dallas game is now totally meaningless. Great chance to rest some guys. And I got to share the evening with loud, homophobic, white trash Eagles fans! Yes!

Nope, the storm was in and out pretty quickly. From what I have heard, the stadium is completely cleaned out. It is supposed to be very, very cold tonight though.

I have like, six layers of clothing, hand warmers, all the works. Lets [expletive]ing go!!!

And the Canadiens get James Wisniewski for a bag of pucks. What a steal. IslanderFail

Shakeup in Calgary!

^^Chaney was awesome last week, and IMO there really isn't much of a dropoff from Allen to Coleman. At least based on what I have seen this season. My biggest concern is that Dimitri Patterson is a starter.

The good news: Elton Brand is really good again.

Annoying and predictable.

Iggy is not playing tonight due to tendonitis in his achilles. [expletive].

Nelson and Morin are hurt....that could be big.

The chances of him being anywhere close to that good again are slim to none. But it certainly can't hurt to give him a shot.

1 out of 5 ain't bad..

JC Romero coming back afterall. I would guess it's a 1 year deal, but I have no clue.

Jrue! Jodie!

USA !! Exciting opening game.

Woohoo, division champs!

Sweet. Packers will now be motivated next weekend. Good news for the Eagles!

USA USA Probably the most underrated sporting event of the year, BTW.

Rangers take a flier on Brandon Webb. Wonder if this one will work out better than Rich Harden did last year.

Gotta be rough sharing a building with a second NBA team and an NHL team. Plus all the other stuff they have going on there this year. Not surprising that something like this happens.

I'm honestly not too concerned about the short week. Would be nice to have a full week of rest but I don't think it will kill them, especially against the Cowboys. But yeah, you never know. There's a decent chance they will be playing for a first round bye.

1. When are we going to a Sixers-Knicks game??? 2. Favorite position to play when you are playing baseball? 3. Yankees World Series or Giants Super Bowl? 4. Do you plan on moving Jimmie Foxx back to 1B? 5. Who would you rather spend a year on a deserted island with, "Diesel" or DeSean Jackson? 6. Thoughts on popped collars? 7. If you were given $100 and had to buy one thing, what would it be? 8. Nomar Fachix or Oscar Charleston? 9. How would you have reacted if the Yankees gave Derek Jeter a 6 year $150 million contract? 10. Least favorite New York/North Jersey-area sports team?
