I will vote for Gossage, Ripken, Gwynn & Morris. I am torn on McGwire, and don't know which way I am going to vote on him. Until baseball came up with a serious steroids policy a couple of years ago, I'm not sure if guys who I believe are Hall-of-Famers should be penalized. (I'm not talking...

When that show aired on UPN, its first episode was the lowest rated prime time debut in American television history. As for the story at the top of the thread, the cynic in me is tempted to believe the Maple Leafs and the NHL supported this not out of any kind of social conscience, but because...

Sean Taylor may be an A-1 goofball, but he just made a heck of an open-field tackle to stop Carolina on fourth down.

Rod Barajas to sign with Toronto.... http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20061124.wspt-jays-24/GSStory/GlobeSportsBaseball/home

Verne Lundquist is perfect for these kinds of wild games.

I'm with DyePack on this one. Don't give Shanahan a chance to leave. Obviously, no one wants 50 questions blurted out at once or queries ruining the end of the answers, but it's not exactly as if he leaves the Broncos' reporters a choice here. And, if no one wanted to be the one asking "The...

I had a great relationship with the (since-fired) general manager of the NBA team in my market. (We still keep in contact even though he is with another organization.) I will never forget when the team won its first playoff series under his stewardship. We're sitting there waiting for the room...

I got 95. Missed question 14, about the orange triangle.

No offence to Bob, but if I was sports editor, my question would be "Why are we wasting space on this guy?"

Re: the DVD. Heading into their final season of Seinfeld, Alexander/Richards/Dreyfus were offered less salary in exchange for a percentage of the DVD sales. They went for the upfront money. When they realized what a stupid decision that was, they fought to get a better cut. Apparently, there...

Harley Race was a legit bad-ass. You did not want to get on his bad side or blow a move so badly that it hurt him.

Dave, you answered my one major question: How did you remember all of those people Scott discussed at the bar before you picked up the napkin to record notes? Great story. Nice work. I wish it were mine.

On my AP ballot, I will keep Ohio State and Michigan as one and two. I will also hope for a rematch. At the end of the year, the two best teams are supposed to meet for the national championship. These are the two best teams in college football. Not Notre Dame, which was crushed by one of them...

Not a Canadian, but know some guys involved in the game and the business. Big rumour up there is that a TV network has bought the league's television and sponsorship rights. (Sorry, I don't know which one.) The station will control the Grey Cup, and one way to recoup that figure is with Grey...

The AWA was so bad, just embarrassing. No original ideas, no intelligent thought. My sister -- who hated wrestling -- once walked into the den when I was watching some Greg Gagne/Jim Brunzell vs. Ken Patera/Crusher Blackwell tag match. I was a teenager at the time, just a big geek. She took one...
