The preseason hype is starting already.
So it could be the Big 10 versus the SEC for the third year in a row. Power and speed versus just speed. The good guys versus the bad. 73-16 Tressel versus 72-19 Richt. The Stiff Arm of Justice and Tackling FailTM versus Knowshon Moreno. ...

Now that BCS conference commissioners have universally shot down a playoff system, the internets are full of bloggers offering their two Abe's worth on the matter.
Some, of course, argue for some type, any type, of playoff. Plus one, four team, six team, eight team - it doesn't matter as long ...

Michigan's proudest WR, Mario Manningham, managed to score a 6 on the NFL's Wonderlic intelligence test.
6.
An average score on the Wonderlic is 21, right were OSU's Vernon Gholston landed. That's supposed to represent an average IQ. But how bad is 6?
"Charlie Wonderlic Jr., president of Wonderlic Inc., says, 'A score ...

As expected, 23-year-old Rick Nash has been chosen as team captain for your Columbus Blue Jackets.
Rick is the fifth captain for the franchise, which has never seen a captain last more than three seasons.
It's another in a string of 'good long-term decisions that may not pay off right away,' (something ...

So Howson frees up a couple of million this year, some fans go nuts, and some fans are cautiously optimistic.
I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm sure the Jackets could not have done much better with regards to Fedorov. With the possibility of him bolting this summer, at least they got ...

Captain Adam Foote.
Foote was traded to the Avs for a 2009 first-round and conditional fourth-round pick.

It isn't that three of those losses were at home.
It's not even that Pazzy - once again - won't be able to pull off ...

End of an era.
I can't say it was a surprise, especially with how well some of the new guys (like Jared Boll) have worked out, but it's still sad to see Shelly go. Old-school, tough-but-fair enforcers are hard to come by in the "new NHL," and Jody was the classiest. ...
