I kind of just thought Eager was a badass when he did that.

Oh, and tackling is nothing new to hockey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_JRcVcNVBk

If Alex Burrows fought him, he'd lose in a second! No hair to pull

You kidding? He was torn apart. It was epic.

AHHHH YOU. That signature. Toews hasn't played for us since that hit. Dude has a concussion. I don't like seeing that signature. But then I look to the right, and see dude that Ben Eager slaughtered last May, and start laughing like all hell.

All I'm saying is that the whole "Favre vs. his old team" subplot created a media frenzy, with the result that if you had watched ESPN at some point during the week, it wouldn't be unlikely that you'd have heard of it. You can expect to see it this week too. 6-1 Vikings vs. 4-2 Packers, Favre's first game back at Lambeau field. It's kind of a big deal.

They're playing the Packers tomorrow. I thought you'd know that. There has been a media frenzy about Favre playing his old team. But I know Canada has different priorities.

I'm not at all sure about my super bowl pick right now. I suppose the Giants and Colts are the easiest picks at the moment, but that could change a lot in a couple of weeks.

I'm excited, but it's still too early to tell if they're any good. 3-0 is not a big deal when two of your wins came against Detroit and Cleveland. It looks like San Fransisco is much improved, so that win may end up being more impressive than I originally thought. Of course their game tomorrow is huge. If nothing else, with the best player in the NFL and the Favre storyline, they are a fun team. And from the standpoint of a fan, that is the most important thing.

I think I'm too stubborn and close-minded to root for another team. I still have preferences of course, but there's no emotion behind them. The only exception is for the Packers. I get emotional rooting against them since they're the big rivals and I have to hear about it every time they do well.

I actually dislike Manu Ginobli since he's burned the Lakers on many occasions, but his style of play reminds me of my own more than anyone else. Yao has gotten much better than I thought he would. I'd say he's the second best center in the league at this point (Dwight Howard being the first).

Once my team is eliminated (in any sport), I have a hard time bringing myself to care. It isn't as compelling without the emotional investment. Disinterested observation inevitably begets uninterested observation in my experience.

I doubt I'll be up again, but I'd play you. I'm more of a Manu Ginobli than a Kobe, though.
