Thursday!

Today in sports history... In 1875 the first recorded hockey game was played in Montreal.

Hello readers!

It's thursday and every education student knows what that means...Its our friday!  Hope each and every one of my followers is doing well. 

A few items to share my thoughts about today...

With the NFL lockout deadline looming, I wonder if we will see NFL football next year.  These money hungry owners and players need to get thier priorities straight and strike a deal.  How would you feel if you were a tax payer that has to contribute hard earned money into construction a 1 billion dollar stadium and cant even watch your favorite team play next year?  I wouldn't be too happy.

It blows my mind how Rogers Sportsnet and TSN can waste a full day of programming to show Bob Mckenzie, Darren Dreger and Doug Mclean playing with their Blackberry's only to report that the biggest trade of the day is Dustin Penner was dealt to the Kings.  Where do these guys get their inside information from?  Thier neighbor or the teams zamboni driver? What a joke!

Great trade for the Utah Jazz unloading disgruntled superstar Deron Williams for a great package of players and picks.  Devin Harris' career could be revived and Derrick Favors has tremendous upside.  The draft picks will definiately be good picks as New Jersey is awful once again this season.

How cool would it be if Winnipeg has an NHL franchise next season?!

Until next time...
