    DirecTV dropping Versus network

    I called today and explained my frustration of being caught in the middle of two corporate giants. Dude looked at my account and offered free Center Ice since I already had it ordered. He then asked if there was anything else he could do. When I mentioned the price discrepancies between them and Dish, he looked up my account and dropped the HD fee for a year. So, I got free CI (which I pay for every year anyway) and $120 credit. I would still love to see the 10 or so games I'm gonna miss, but saving money will help me get over it. I advise anyone with Dtv to call. You don't even have to get mad or ask for a supervisor. They seem simpathetic to the issue and will comp you pretty handily.

    Stanley Cup signed jerseys

    I found this on ebay tonight.. Quite the collection. ebay SC Jersey collection Opening bid is $10,000. I wouldn't have an idea how to place a value on this, but I have a feeling 10K is the opening bid and not even close to the reserve price. I also found a guy that wants $1,000 for a Chelios game worn. I just don't see that price happening. It's the 05/06 playoffs, not even a Cup winning year.

    a few baby items for sale

    OK, I've got 3 things I'll try and sell here before they hit ebay. 1) Red Wings car seat cover. Great condition. Very clean. $20 + shipping/OBO. I can probably put this in an envelope and ship it in the U.S. for about $3. Carseat not included. 2) Red Wings/NHL onesey. Size 6 - 9 mos. Used. Good condition. Make an offer. 3) Red Wings NIKE sweatsuit. Includes sweatpants and snap front hoodie. size 6 - 9 months. Average condition. Definitely used. No holes or damage, but some fabric pilling. Make an offer.

    Poor Mike Danton

    I'm sure somebody's already looked up his parole date and tried to figure out if STL still has his rights and what the salary cap implications would be.

    Yahoo! Power Rankings

    Really?? THAT'S the most significant departure? Not the trade of a certain gap toothed D-bag? I certainly think the loss of Pronger trumps a goalie coach who's advice appears to be "Wear BIG pads".

    Nickname sweaters

    I see what you did there and it's very smart.

    Yzerman GM in Chicago soon?

    Yeah, Heaven forbid that we refuse to participate in the dumbing down of America and the World by worrying about such trivialities as grammar and spelling. I keep forgetting that there are no language rules in the text message culture of today's society.

    Yzerman GM in Chicago soon?

    If you're going to correct someone, at least try to be right. The OP was using "english" as a reference to the English language. Therefore, it needs to be capitalized. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/english http://wiki.answers.com/Q/When_do_you_capi...he_word_english http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization (notice every reference to English is capitalized) The link you provided didn't even address the subject at hand, it referred to the use of "the". This isn't smart-assed either, just factual.

    Yzerman GM in Chicago soon?

    Google - it's your friend. link Also, English should be capitalized.

    Holland "Not Optimistic" about re-signing Hossa

    More from the article. Say what you will, but it seems that Winter "gets it". reason for edit: for some reason I want to make his name WINTERS, not Winter.

    Wings Trade thier first round pick to Tampa

    This mostly pissed me off because I spent 3 f-ing hours watching the draft waiting for the payoff and instead - BUPKIS.

    Future of The Joe uncertain...

    $475K IS a helluva bargain. However, the Joe is VERY outdated by today's standards. I actually missed almost 1/2 of the 2nd period of the game I was at standing in line to pee in a trough. Time has not been kind to the JLA. Imagine how bad it will be in 20 more years. Build a new home and bulldoze the Joe.
