Sports Talk!! Part 2 - Picthers and Catchers Next Week!

He probably was doing it in utero.

He only kicked in his mother's belly when he felt like it, which wasn't very often.

And mentioned a possible move to someone else's.

or not coming out at all

Sheesh! Just heard on NBC news that there is actually a petition circulating to have pole dancing as an Olympic sport...

We were talking about that on another thread. Have you ever seen a competition? Way more strenuous and athletic than many sports in the games! Just google it.

Where do I sign?!!!!

You signin' up for tryouts Victor? ^_^

That has got to be the dumbest thing I've heard.

Judging.

If they are going to do pole dancing it better be for the summer olympics.

North Pole??

God bless Joe Torre . . . and any manager that can smile when talking about Manny Ramirez. Now Manny is saying he'll stick around for another 3 years in LA and then play 2 more in Japan. I guess we should just push the mute button on this guy once and for all. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-dodgers-ramirez&prov=ap&type=lgns

Yes, he should really be ignored.

How do those Poles dance? Didn't know they had their own steps.

I got a kick out of all the in utero Manny talk. Funny. (I didn't L.O.L. but it was darn close)

Robin, Our Husky men have potential but no consistency. It would be nice to believe they have it all worked out now for tournament time.....but ...
At least we know they could beat anyone.

I was resisting the Polish pole dancer lines. ^_^

Is the coach back full time now, Dave/David?

Yes. Calhoun is back & his absence never explained beyond not cancer & not heart. It appears to be stress related.
What he has done at UConn is largely unprecedented, but I find him to be an embarrassment lately. Very publicly in the kids faces, recruited a few kids he should not have recruited, and this recruitment violation being investigated, nasty with press.

Ugh - sounds nasty.

That ski cross is CRAZY. How did I miss the men's??? I'll have to watch that on line.

Yes it is. I like it a lot. And how about freestyle?!! How do they keep their wits about them??

Is that with the ariels?

Yes.

Wow, the Korean woman was fantastic. The Japanese one was very good as well.

what about the nordic combined relay - US silver!!

Cool! Hadn't heard that.

they were there for the gold and the austrians caught them on the last lap and back and forth from there - pretty exciting

Alpine team has been simply amazing.

It was nice to see the alpine relay team do so well. Most of them have been at it a long time. The skating was also nice to watch.

It was a good day, but disappointed the women's curling team was eliminated---DH was happy---said it was like watching paint dry--tsk---I agree about Calhoun, Dave---Trice& Smith seem worthless recruits, especially when you look at what Kentucky recruited for freshmen. The Waterbury paper quoted some HS student that UCONN recruited as saying Calhoun told him he had high blood pressure---def. stress related for him.

he is an hot headed irishmen from boston (braintree i believe) who can get fired up! wish he had stayed with NU

Looks like Vonn and Mancuso are not even hiding their icy relationship now. Cat fight!!

Too bad about Mancuso's 2nd run after Vonn fell---I don't blame her for being mad---saw that the Mets picked up Baraha for a catcher---not much of an ave., but 71RBIs.

that is a media made cat fight - they aren't friends and certainly not enemies, only competitors since they were teenagers

Yes, that was not right. They should not even have let them ski with that fog!

Yes, Baraha might help. Schneider was horrible.

This year WILL be better----hope the team gets my vibes!

looks like the canadien womens hockey team got in a bit of trouble for drinking beer and smoking cigars on the ice after their win last night over the US - hey - they are hockey players!

as long as they don't trash a hotel room

Smoking cigars?!!

Much ado about nothing, I think. Let 'em celebrate! Except for that one under-aged woman on the team. She shouldn't be drinking just yet.

media likes to stir up trouble

let's hope the US men get better consideration when they win :)

Only if they drink US beer!

(I almost said "American" beer, but my BIL, a Canadian, likes to remind me that Canadians are "Americans" too since we all live in North America.)
