How are occupying the void last from North American sports?
What are your predictions for the Superbowl?
How will the Jays finish in 2013?
Will there be an NHL season?
How are occupying the void last from North American sports?
I have 2 very good web sites that I can watch all sports that I want. I still watch my Cowboys each week as the suck the joint out. Why Jones didn't go after Manning is beyond me. I watch Roger Federer play and even Tiger. Saw each game of the World Series, so its not that bad from that point. I actually had a harder time following the US election this year, but hey something has to give.
What are your predictions for the Superbowl?
Good question. I don't believe in the Falcons, so I believe the NFC could be anybody. I will say Green Bay or the the defending champs (I hate the Giants). AFC is a little more difficult. I believe everyone is on the Texans, but I think it will be either Manning or Brady. I think who ever get there from the AFC will probably win. I will go with Denver and Manning wins MVP and comeback player of the year.
How will the Jays finish in 2013?
I like a lot of the moves. I think setting the rotations will be huge and by that I mean Ricky is the number 4 start with Mark Buehrle being one. Brandon Morrow two, Josh Johnson three. Obviously injuries are big part of baseball and the Jays need depth. They proved they are willing to spend money, why aren't they spending it on Hamilton and Greinke? They need both these items to be filled (that being another starter and another power bat) considered a real contender. Barring no other changes, I will say 86 wins, good enough for 4th place.
Will there be an NHL season?
I don't like Fuhr and I don't like Bettman. Both these guys think they are the smartest guy in the room and that is rarely a productive thing. It could go either way, but which every way it does go we will be here again in 5 years.
I won't pretend that I know all the issues in this thing but I know money and players salaries are up for grabs. While I agree that any player who has a contract should be paid that contract, I don't understand why they choose not to sign a deal that lowers their salaries over time but are willing to play in the the KHL for half are even three quarters of what the owners are asking them to play for in a new agreement. For example Alex Ovechkin makes nearly 12 million a year in the NHL. They want to roll that back to somewhere around 8 million. I agree it is wrong but ok they asked for it. Ovechkin turns around and says "I will play in the KHL and is doing so for 4 million." While others fight the battle. Doesn't make sense to me.
