Is there something more scary than an Ovechkin breakaway, Jim Balsillie lurking in the shadows of a failing team, or the New Jersey Devils trap? You be the judge in this edition of Hockey Halloween.
What about the Camrose Wild Rose Arena in Alberta Canada? Truthful stories or a dying arena and small town in Alberta trying [...]

San Francisco Giants Re-sign 2nd Baseman Freddy Sanchez
Written by Eze | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Frisco Fastball (Giants)
Well, in all fairness, this was a move they pretty much had to make considering the amount they gave up, only to watch Freddy limp through the final two months of the season only playing in a handful of games.
The Giants signed Sanchez to a two year deal worth $12 million dollars this afternoon, which [...]
That’s What Happens
Written by Bobby Zijiac | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | SenShot (Senators)
That’s what happens when your top centre, top defenseman, and top goalie are out of the game—you lose. In this case the Sens lost mightily to the Bolts. After an inspiring win in Sunrise Ottawa was found napping all night long and Tampa took advantage of that. There are still things Clouston needs to work [...]
Sabres Gamenight: Toronto Maple Leafs
Written by Tim Redinger | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | NHL, Sabre Noise (Sabres)
Tonight is Beggar’s night, where kids across the country are bouncing from house to house seeking treats from their neighbors.
Brian Burke will be in town doing the same thing, except he will be begging for Ryan Miller to give him a win. I wouldn’t count on it.
If the Sabres can jump out to a fast [...]

Lucas Oil Stadium
10:00 AM (PST)
….
On a two game losing streak the struggling 49ers travel to Indianapolis to take one the undefeated Colts this Sunday. The 49ers and new starting quarterback Alex Smith showed promise in the second-half of last week’s loss against the Texans that the 49ers offense [...]
Notes for Tonight’s Game
Written by Omar Zaman | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Ducks Daily Blog (Ducks)
A few notes about tonight’s game:
- You can watch the free, live-stream of tonight’s game here. The link will not work until game time.
- Erik Christensen will be out of the lineup, thank goodness. He’s done nothing but take up a valuable spot on the ice in recent games. Ryan Carter will replace him.
- Jonas [...]
The best of times, no the worst of times
Written by wingnut5013 | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Octopus Thrower (Red Wings)
I know I have been supportive and tried to keep a positive outlook on the season over the last couple of weeks, but after allowing a struggling Oilers team to dominate for two periods like they did last night was almost too much to bear.
Look, bottom line is that the defense needs to toughen up [...]
Mike Leach Blames Players’ “Fat Little Girlfriends” (Video)
Written by Adam Best | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Blog, The Best View
The Texas Tech Red Raiders football team isn’t living up to the new standard set by coach Mike Leach. Leach made this clear when he blamed the Raiders’ loss to Texas A&M on the players’ “fat little girlfriends.” He uses the phrase four times in 12 seconds, so obviously he thinks his guys are running [...]
Linkin’ Center 10/30

News From Around The League:
Pacman Jonesin’ pictures Brian Scalabrine as l’il orphan Annie. Also, due to the “massive” controversy of their Top 25 TV Characters In History, it’s been expanded to the Top 100. Here is part II and III. It seems like every character from Arrested Development, The Wire & Seinfeld will be on [...]
Bitterness Running High, and Silly, in Green Bay
Written by Dan Zinski | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)
It’s no secret that Packer fans harbor a ton of bitterness in their hearts over the way Brett Favre turned his back on them (after the Packers organization turned their backs on him in favor of the unproven Aaron Rodgers). It would be hard for them to insist otherwise, given the open demonstrations of scorn [...]
Michael Jackson and Hockey?
Written by Omar Zaman | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Ducks Daily Blog (Ducks)
I must give kudos to Mr. Curtis Zupke at the Orange County Register for posting an article that is short, effective, and actually made me laugh when I read it. It’s not so much what he said, but what he wrote about that was so hilarious. The Bakersfield Condors, the Ducks’ ECHL affiliate, will put [...]
The Onion Mercifully Kills Off The Clippers
Written by Short White Boy | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Fully Clips (Clippers)
I thought I was at the Clippers’ opening game & what I saw showed promise, but I guess I must’ve dreamed it in my desperate hope for something good to happen. It turns out the Onion has the story as to what truly happened. And as my great-grandpappy used to say: “If it’s in the [...]
An Experiment: Challenging Conventional Baseball Wisdom
Written by Taylor | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | SoDo Mojo (Mariners)
This summer, Major League Baseball revealed its newest statistical plaything, hit f/x, which records the speed of batted balls. This technological toy may not exactly revolutionize the way the game is played, but it does add a critical variable to a hitter’s value – how hard he can hit. Now teams can determine which batters [...]
The Tentative Maniac Schedule
Written by Michael Jong | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Marlin Maniac (Marlins)
With the season over, I’d had to introduce a lot of series that would be of interest to fans as we move into the offseason. With my other writing workload, it’s become fairly difficult to sit in one day and write something Marlins related off the top of my head. So I decided what I’ll [...]
49er Flags
Written by Eric Melendez | October 30, 2009 | Comments Off | NFL, Niner Noise (49ers)
Hello Niner Nation. I was checking out some web sites for 49er flags and I came across are really cool company that not only has 49er flags but flags for all the NFL teams. I received the Niners flag within a week of ordering and as soon as I got it I hung it out [...]
