The NHL has at least one exciting game a night and name the last time there has been a clear favourite to win the stanley cup.

I've always found NHL games dull. Never enjoyed ice hockey on tv yet of course I like it in the flesh.
Maybe I just like British hockey. I can certainly see why most Yanks don't follow it.

Most yanks? That's slightly mis-leading.
I'd rather watch the NHL over the NFL any day of the week.

Clearly. I don't understand why the NFL and MLB are so popular. The Yanks are generally a short-minded bunch (wow, what a generalisation!), you'd think they'd lose interest after an hour or two. Still, shows that you can't class a bunch. NHL is so much better than the NFL, fact

What is staggering is hearing someone like John Madden (who is a sports fan) admitting he doesn't even understand the rules of hockey. I remember them interviewing peeps in Tampa and them admitting they were please the Lightning were doing great but they weren't watching it. The NHL may have a good game a night. I'd expect half the NFL games to be good. But hey, all a matter of opinion. BTW, my football mates who saw their first ever hockey game on Saturday were bored rigid by it. I have tried to explain it was a bad game but of course they won't be spending £15 on it in the near future again.

And I remember during USA 94 an interview by ITV journalists of a group of Americans and when asked " who do you want to win the World cup?" the group responded... " The Rangers" Doesn't say much for the universal sport of soccer does it... *edited for typos*

Soccer is way bigger now in USA and NHL is supposed to be far bigger than soccer anyway. Anywho, question for you... how does the NHL (and NBA for that matter) do their draft when it comes to foreign players? What do they offer the Euro teams and how are 25 year old Russian stars drafted with 21 year old college prospects?

Delighted Moss has gone. Not only is he a quitter but he's not the player he was.
The guy is a cancer, pure and simple.

If it doesn't work out, you think he'll be around long enough to cause any harm in the dressing room? I certainly don't. But it's another reason why you can hate the Pats though ;D This picture will make you laugh though ;D

Mandy going to the Pats doesn't affect my views on the Pats one bit. We needed to get rid and we did.
He may help the Pats win the Bowl. My guess is that he will be ok but nothing special. He's effectively been retired for two years and he's not the player he was. He doesn't have the burst anymore and a good Corner can shut him down.
Moss ain't going to be much help to the Pats problems at Linebacker or in their Secondary. And then you've got the drafting of Meriweather and all the baggage he brings!!

Titans' corner back Adam Jones is being sought by police apparently for his involvement in a shooting. LinkI loved this bit though: " Jones' suspension requires him to "have no further adverse involvement with law enforcement" and to adhere to restrictions on his activities that have been agreed to by himself and the Titans.Whether being questioned by police about a fight and shooting violates the terms of his suspension remains to be seen." ;D

So where are your guys mocks? Come on people. Maybe I'm just sad spending 10 hours watching NFL draft day on my PC. I must be. Especially I'm working on my 2008 mock already! Do you have Brohm or McFadden going 1st? McFadden is the BPA in the draft. We'll see if Brohm is as good as people suggest. Roll on the college season.

Atlanta Falcons' Michael Vick has pleaded guilty to the charge of organising dog fighting & gambling. Hope he enjoys his stretch in the clinker.
