Not to say that NMS would have come down the court and won or tied the game if the call wouldn't have been made. But it changed the last few seconds of the game for sure. It's like looking forward to eating a great looking apple that you slaved over picking from a tree yourself. You take the time to find the apple, pick the apple, carry it back to the house; then you bite into it and it tastes terrible. That call leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

]]> Comment on Repeat Offender, Reckless Ovechkin Needs to Stop Playing Dirty by Brad in DC http://larrybrownsports.com/hockey/impact-alex-ovechkins-hit-brian-campbell-nhl/14376/comment-page-1#comment-839640 Brad in DC Fri, 19 Mar 2010 20:21:53 +0000 http://larrybrownsports.com/?p=14376#comment-839640 I was reading you comments and was like, why they hating on Ov. So i went and watched the hit over and over again. Ov did not hit him dirty. Before you say anything go analyze it yourself. Ov tried to just board him but Campbells cut away from the puck left him in an awkward position at a high speed for the boards. This was a simple but hard shove from Ov which is performed multiple times a game by lots of players. The NHL should of never suspended him for this. If they are going to suspend for it then it needs to be done even when the defender skates away from the same type of push. Shut your mouth haters. We finally have a Star in DC and now you want to take it away. He is the Best player in the league at his position. I was reading you comments and was like, why they hating on Ov.

A British man has won £2.3 million ($3.8 million) on the lottery, just one day after finalising his divorce to his wife, British media reports say.

Kevin Halstead, 50, spent last Friday with his friends after the divorce was completed before buying a lottery ticket the next day, the Daily Express reported.

“Kevin’s divorce dragged on for a couple of years,” the Express quoted his friend as saying.

“Everything was settled on Friday so he went out and got drunk. On Saturday, he decided to spend his last quid on a lottery ticket.

“He checked the papers next morning and saw he’d won half the jackpot.”

If one school wins both, that extra bid goes into a pool. However many bids in that pool are at large bid and the networks select them. This would spread out the talent. Right now the networks have created large conferences that get good ratings. In the long run that is bad. Parity is good. Parity produces close, exciting games. This won't happen until the NCAA is forced to do it. That won't be long. The courts are about to go rummaging through the NCAA records. Considering how dirty the NCAA is, don't be surprised by what they find. It has been 3 decades since the NCAA paid Tark 2.5 million to keep their records out of court. It will cost them a LOT more this time. Memphis is full of Lawyers waiting to get their bit of flesh off the NCAA. D. Rose has the same rights as every other American. That includes the right to trial and the presumption of innocence. The NCAA has violated those rights. They will have to prove in court that D. Rose didn't take his test. Since he did, they can't. Derrick should ask for 100 million. The NCAA has deep pockets. For now. They will get a lot lighter by next fall. If the NCAA was smart, they would split into 3 divisions. Football, Basketball and the other sports. That way they could keep some of their revenue stream intact through the upcoming blizzard of law suits.

Looking good in a bikini, now that is a whole different arena. Florida and Cali girls and maybe some Texas girls can really do that. Once again, if theres a beach theres a way. lol She looks good until you see her boney body in a bikini, there is nothing fun to look at.

He wont be a Peyton Manning or a Dan Marino but then who is? He is big enough and can even play tight end, he's obviously a bright kid who's work ethic aint no Jamarcus Russell. Gawd, this is difficult to come to terms with. I think he goes in the second round if the Jags don't get over excited. With any sort of success, he will be marketing platinum.
