Rough Few Games

This day in sports history...in 1997 Scotty Bowman won his 1000th NHL game as a head coach.

Shout out to Greg for his comments on last weeks post!

Congrats to the Packers and their fans on a well played game in the Super Bowl.  I have a bitter taste in my mouth as I have been a Steelers fan since I began watching football as a kid, so it hurts.  Next year I look for a stellar season from the Steelers and hope that they can make it back to the big game and win it all to make it 3 championships in 7 years.

With the Packers winning you have to wonder what all of the people who were calling for the firing of Packers GM Ted Thompson after drafting Aaron Rodgers in 2005 are saying now.  The Packers seem to be one of the only teams that have done things right in finding a successor to take over after Brett Favre's career was undoubtedly on the decline back then.  Teams like the Dolphins, 49ers, and Bills are still struggling and have not found proper replacements for their past superstar quarterbacks. Rodgers has won just as many Super Bowls as Favre now and has many more years to shine in the league.  I give credit to the Packers for having the guts to make a move that many other teams would have not made.

I wonder if there will be a lockout next season in the NFL...

Last night I faced off in an online head to head battle in NHL 11 vs Tavis once again.  Lately we have been playing pretty evenly but last night was not good.  After a weekend of not playing any games, Tavis dominated me in a three game series where I could not seem to pull it together.  My skills seemed as if they have left me.  No matter what team I was it didn't seem to matter.  The Kings are usually my go to team to match up with Tavis but they couldn't cut it.  Looks like it is time for me to get some practice in and redeem myself.

Check out North Battleford on Wikipedia.  For the class assignment, I have changed the city name to N Bizzle.  So far it has not been set back.
