This day in sports history... In 2004 Janet Jackson's breast was exposed during the half-time show of Super Bowl XXXVIII, resulting in US broadcasters adopting a stronger adherence to FCC censorship guidelines.
Hello sweet world! This is my first post on this blog where I will share my thoughts and interests with my followers. Feel free to share your thoughts with me. Not a whole lot to report today so I will just share some thoughts. The weekend in the sports world was horrendous with the NHL All-Star game and the Pro Bowl stinking up television...thank God for college basketball and golf. All -Star games are awful! My disgust with TSN is growing more and more every day with their adding of That's Hockey 2Nite with ultimate puckhead Steve Kouleas. Their ridiculous over analyzing and coverage of meaningless hockey games in unbelievable. I understand analyzing important games but breaking down the all-star game for hours is a bit much. I am a fan of hockey but TSN really annoys me. I have become even more of a fan of Kevin Durant after this weekend as he outplayed and outclassed the most overrated player in the NBA...Chris Bosh. Not much else to share today other than I will be taking on my 402 classmate, Tavis in a game of NHL 11. He is in for a challenge!

Good insightful comments Nate. I always find the All-Stars Skills Competition far more interesting than the game itself. This year's live draft did increase some interest in the game because the players' personalities, for example Marc Staal guilt tripping Eric for not drafting him first, Henrik Sedin claiming that Lidstrom drafted the better twin or Ovechkin taking a photo of Kessel amongst the sea of empty chairs. As for the actual All-Star game itself, it's lost a great deal of luster. I think just leave it at the skills competition and the draft and be done with it. If fans want to see real intense, skilled hockey games, they can tune into a NHL play-off game. I did like Kessel's donation to cancer research though. I think if there's going to be a game, all gate proceeds should go to a worthy cause, very much in the spirit of the first All-Star where the money went to injured Maple Leaf star Ace Bailey.
