Gretzky's one of maybe three guys on earth (Federer being the other to come to mind) more dominant at his sport than MJ... he can do whatever the fuck he wants
@apd09: You've managed to sum up in one succinct comment just how fucking douchey frat bros usually are
@BigTenObsession: Well they had lost all momentum, and were facing arguably the world's top keeper, and don't exactly have the greatest track record in PKs.... but your squad really showed Ireland who belonged in the Cup!
@Matt_T: Fuck yes- too many bro haters on here
AJ this is a pretty fucking low even for you
This was settled a few years ago. The Williams sisters said they could beat any man outside of the top 200, so Karsten Braasch ranked #203 played them both and beat Serena 6-1 and Venus 6-2 while smoking cigarettes during the changeovers

@LarryJohnsonsgirlfriend: -1 you douche. Rob Iracane is rolling over in his grave at the state of commenting on this site
@Gravy: I chose Connors for a reason- hes the closest corollary yet his run occurred in 1991 and he's two years younger than Watson... which is the entire point
@Gravy: You're proving my point- that happened in 1991, and Jimmy Connors is two years younger than Tom Watson...
So much for comparing tiger woods to roger federer. Last time I checked jimmy connors isn't getting to the finals of any tournaments that federer loses in the first round
There's a certain unspoken culpability on the part of sports blogs for this BS... if it wasn't for all the posts highlighting/over publicizing how ridiculous and fun Preakness was, no one would have cared about the BYOB policy. Its a classic example of 5% of the people ruining it for everyone else...
/RIP old school Preakness good times
+1 Rick. About time you boarded the lifeboat holding Will and Iracane that is escaping this sinking ship...
@ChilledoutEntertainer: My words carry little weight-unlike Habs legend Yvan Cournoyer who described the situation thusly: "You win with everybody and lose with everybody. They choose Kovalev to sit out, but I see a few defencemen who should be upstairs, too."
I'll end my defense of Kovy by relaying Guy Lafleur's thoughts on the issue:
"No player with his (Kovalev's) talent would accept being humiliated like that. ... I don't know what (Bob) Gainey is trying to prove in front of everybody."
@semper_ubi_sub_ubi: Its bush league. Gainey and Guy are scapegoating Alex when their problems run much deeper than his play. Yeah he hasn't been great, but even when he is playing great, he doesn't ask for the credit- so he shouldn't be taking the blame now. Their team makeup is fucked, their defensemen are slow and only Markov has played well on both ends, and every single forward except maybe A Kostitsyn has underachieved. Singling out Kovy is just trying to embarass him and buy management some time. A bullshit cowardly move.
Eddie Vedder is the coolest man alive... and if you disagree, your commenting on the internet, so you suck anyways
@BelichickSpiesOnYou: Kovalev All star game MVP- how do you like them apples
Anyone who follows hockey knows that Alex Kovalev is the most talented player in the game anyways
Cant understand why Lucas was on for so long- or why Riera was sacrificed so early. Rafa you magnificent bastard. Eh 1-1 is hard to complain about, but Liverpool have got to stop leaving points out there for the other boys to pick up
@WanderingBear: You stay classy Philadelphia
I hope Smiley is giving the book away for free as an apology for "Yes, Dear"
This is sort of like the Phillie Phanatic getting voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame before Ted Williams
