The outcry from fans was emotional and completely against Blake. What we all forget is that each side has their own business objectives and Mr. Logan presents this complex part of sports very succinctly.

Sorry and thanks for reading Thu, 7 Feb 2008 16:17:15 GMT http://greasy.com/prouddaddy/ryans_official_hockey.html Hi all, this is a little corner of the web that is devoted to Canada's rising hockey hero, Ryan Downey. The fact that hew is only 6 years old and actually plays pre-novice in Thetford Mines Quebec is no obstacle to his dream of being a professional hockey player! This place is for fun and to show him that his outstanding efforts are noticed by all (well, mostly by Dad). Ryan began the season, with brand new skates and equipment with a little hesitation. Add to that the fact that he had a h ... Wed, 16 Jan 2008 20:20:01 GMT http://greasy.com/kansas/sid_kid.html Quick, name the best Crosby in sports right now. The young shortstop for Oakland might come to mind, who by the way Peter Gammons picked as his AL MVP this year (good pick buddy), or perhaps you might be a Yankees fan and think of Bubba. Well neither of those are good options because you aren’t thinking in the right sport. Try the National Hockey League. Yea, that game on the pond is back and a man named Sidney Crosby is one of the brightest shinning stars in it. As we have seen more and ...

I am new to this, so it might take me some time to get the hang of writing articles. This is going to be a place where I'll be primarily giving my two cents about issues in the world of sports. I'm a big fan of most sports, although I have a passionate hatred for NASCAR and any other auto "sports". I just don't see what is so entertaining about watching cars drive in circles for hours.
