illegal stick to the throat
i\’d like to get opinions on this by the simpleprop hockey wonks. (i encourage you to watch the video if you haven\’t seen it already.) my take, if you\’re interested: sports, particularly football and hockey, can be violent at times. delmon young notwithstanding, hockey is the only one where players carry potential weapons throughout the…

The NHL Trade Deadline and You
I\’ll be honest – not even I knew that the NHL trade deadline came and went on Tuesday. That won\’t deter me from offering up my own two cents on the transactions that piqued my interest. I\’ll have a lot to choose from – 25 trades went down in the last six hours before the…

dwane casey was fired as the head coach of the timberwolves yesterday, after starting the season 20-20. casey handled the situation as expected: with dignity and class. long-time mchale crony randy wittman takes over the team, at least on an interim basis. but i\’m just wondering: was casey the right person to jettison?

i don\’t pretend to be a better writer than anyone. really. i see simpleprop as a fun outlet for the creative energies that i have– the few that aren\’t tapped by my anklebiters. i don\’t pretend that anyone will walk away from my posts and look for an online pulitzer nomination form. if i make…

Note to Hollywood
Here is a fun little article to warm your heart on a very cold December day. Maybe it\’s just me, but doesn\’t this have the makings of a sappy movie? Here\’s how I would write it: Washed up forgotten major league baseball player loses his wife and begins packing up his home to downsize (single…

Talkin\’ Hockey
Item of interest number one: On Versus tonight they unveiled something called \’rail cam\’. Frankly, it\’s brilliant. You\’ve perhaps seen the camera at football games that floats over the field? Well this is similar. They mounted a moving camera on the glass, and it can move back and forth with the action. Give the truck…

\”They look like an angry goat.\”
So naturally I was watching the opening night tilt between the Leafs and the Sens. (Yes, I did say naturally.) And I\’ll be honest, it\’s 3-1 Ottawa in the 2nd period, and the game\’s been somewhat boring, so I wasn\’t watching too closely. But I did hear the following exchange: \”Speaking of the Sabres, what…

The Curse of Billy Penn
It just wouldn\’t be a baseball post-season if we didn\’t have a curse to talk about. Well, I\’m here to help. I was talking to my friend Roach last night. She\’s from Philly, and so we were talkin\’ Phillies, and she mentioned that even if they make the playoffs (they\’re a game out of the…

i hate espn.com. they stash good content under the pay-to-read insider section, the ads are too big and too plentiful, and they (like ESPN the network and, well, tara reid) can\’t seem to get tom brady\’s c*ck out of their collective mouth. that said, they\’ve got the best sports website out there.Â
