You know you want to. I figure maybe this will get things jumping for the better.

[Wheeljack35]

Theres nothing for me

I'm a baseball fan and have to wait till Srping training

[hamsterboy]

Then talk about what you think about the current off-season trades.

[Wheeljack35]

Nah...Too fustrated seeing that Roy Halliday going to the Phillies and they in turn send Cliff Lee to Seattle

[hoganvibe]

I'm a Cubs fan... so I don't want to talk about baseball. Except that Ryne Sandberg has been named manager of the AAA Iowa Cubs who play right here in Des Moines, IA!

For those who didn't see, Chris Henry (law-abiding impaired receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals) died today after falling out of a pickup truck on Wednesday during a dispute with his fiancee. He was 26.

[Wheeljack35]

What did he do ?

Fall on his head? or Fall on something that peirced him?

[hoganvibe]

Well, the vehicle was moving so I'm guessing that the fall damaged his head in some way. It's a shame because he has been behaving himself for the last few years. I'm not going to say that he was going to be a Hall of Fame receiver, but he still had a lot of career ahead of him.

And the Saints unbeaten season is over. Only the Colts remain.

[Capt.S.G.Wiseman]

I'm hoping for a Texas win over Alabama for the National Championship.

That sucked too!

I was hoping to see a Super Bowl between two undefeated teams, which would have been a first. I thought a COLTS vs SAINTS Super Bowl would be a good anyway, and still COULD be, but how awesome would it be if both were undefeated? A TRUE champion deciding game?

Oh well, maybe I'll have to root for an OHIO team now and hope the Bengals can work a miracle here?

I see this becoming a football thread until spring training starts

I hate the Cowgirls almost as much as I hate the Tittsburgh Squealers.

[madman1366]

Bears suck, Bulls suck, Blackhawks are ROLLING!

Good thing for me I'm probably a bigger Blackhawks fan than Bears and most definitely over the Bulls.

I don't know how much people outside of Chicago can appreciate all that has happened with this team in recent years but it's gotta be one of the greatest stories in sports over the last 5 years.

If you want,we can talk about Tiger Woods and his problem with women. Or maybe how Danica Patrick will be racing part time with NASCAR.

Vikings.....UUUGHHH!!! Hoping to go to the Super Bowl but can't beat a team like Carolina? Not gonna happen

I had two scenarios picked out for the Super Bowl this year...

A Vikings vs Bengals match up, because I liked how well Farve was doing this year and I'm a browns fan but with their record I'm shifting over to the next best OHIO team and there ya have it.

OR..

like I mentioned earlier, a match up between two undefeated teams, for a first in the history of the super bowl, but that was ruined thursady night.

My luck, it will end up being the Cowboys and the Chargers or something.

Funny how people think that both of these two "sports"have athletes

[Jack]

I came back here after a long layoff and wondered where the sports threads went. I guess nobody was using them and JayC deleted them to save some room. I remember we used to run Fantasy Football and Pick em leagues. Those were fun.
Football talk- I think the Colts go unbeaten. They may have what it takes to do what the Patriots failed on. Shocked to see the Cowboys beat the Saints. The Vikings played like crap last night and I am not shocked as a lifelong fan. All they do is cause heartbreak, much like the Cubs and Red Sox from about the 1920's up until a few years ago. They will not win the Superbowl this year. Most likely they get bounced in the NFC championship.

Baseball- the Twins need to sign Joe Mauer to a long term deal or there will be a torches and pitchforks march against the management and owners. The citizens of Minneapolis and Hennepin County just built them a new ballpark and they better put some money into the team. Target Field looks incredible, BTW. Can't wait to see a major league game outdoors again. It's been far too long since we've had that here.

[Wheeljack35]

When I heard it was going to be called Target Feild I had to laugh.....I work for Target

[hoganvibe]

Blech! Cowboys and Chargers would just be awful! I'd want Bengals vs. 49ers since Joe Montana isn't around to deny Cinci a Super Bowl win.

[hamsterboy]

George Michael passed away today. No not that one,the one that was the host of George Michael's Sports Machine.

[Wheeljack35]

Oh ...what of?

[Viper Hunter]

Cancer.
