Take THAT, LA!

How about those last two overtime wins! Incredible. Almost eliminated 3-1, this three-year old team comes back to take the series.

And how about those T-wolves? Spanked the Lakers last night. Choked in the 4th, but hey, they still won. Take THAT, LA!

Let's hope the Twins have good luck this year like last. It'll turn out to be a great year for Minnesota sports.

:D

Too Bad...

Bertuzzi and the Canucks are going to pound the Wild into oblivion. Go Canucks!!!!

sports...

dude even in Mn. wins you still have to live in Mn...Ha.




oh and Mn. Baseball? 2 Words:

Kirby Puckett

I agree

Our company has had so much return of inventory due to crashes and other problems that we'd like Apple to return our investment.

And geesh, you people and your hockey. The playoffs are boring until the semi-finals. That's when I'll watch. Can't wait for the annual Red Wings vs. Avalanche series this year! Go wings!

NHL, pleeeeeze

Boring. Give me good ol' NBA action, where over the same amount of time, you'll see twice as many fights and up to three times the scoring than your average NHL game. Plus, they conveniently put in lots of commercial breaks to race to the kitchen to refresh your drinks or snack dish.

And sudden-death overtime? ooooorrrrrriiiiinnnnnnggggg. h***, you can't even get up to use the restroom while in OT because you may miss the winning score. Give me great NBA basketball action. In the last minutes of a game, there's so much action. Not just on the court. There's also the strategy games of the coaches. Who should we foul? Who should we send in during defensive situations, and then replace when we go on offense. Let's call a time out to set up our play, then call another one when we see their defensive setup to our offensive setup so we can then change our offensive setup to match their defensive setup (which they might change!).

And, as opposed to hockey, in basketball, you can miss the first half (h*** the first three quarters!), and if its a good game, its still within a couple of points and you haven't really missed anything. You flip over to hockey in the middle, and you might've missed all the scoring...

American Sport

All American sport is rubbish!

Baseball: Rubbish (bunch of fat guys running in circles)

Yank Football: Rubbish (bunch of fat guys in crash gear)

Basketball: Rubbish (bunch of mutants)

Ice Hockey: Rubbish (retards in crash gear on skates)

yadda yadda yadda


 

Hockey Woooot!

About that Red Wings and Avs matchup, shows your knowledge buddy both those theams are ousted! Hockey is the best sport, period, and the playoffs make life a grand thing for 2 months :). The Wild fans are gonna get some awesome replays of Bertuzzi flattening gaborik on their powerbooks!

PS. I love how the americans have been booing the canadian national anthem, the hating never stops with you guys hey? Just hate on some more people, pile up your money, wrap yourself in the american flag and you can never go wrong. h*** don't even give the sensible people in your country a chance to speak, just call them 'unpatriotic' that'll shut them up.

Nasty Nasty

Jaques Lemaire has patched together yet another pretty good team from table scraps. Look what he did witht the Devils and we may just see history repeat. The Wild are smart to be using Macs!

Sudden death OT is intense! The Ducks and Dallas went to 5 OT periods!


As for American sport...

Hockey is CANADIAN, by the way! A lot of us Northeasterners and Midwesties play it, too! Not to mention players from all over Europe...

NBA basketball is a game for 7 foot tall freaks, I just can't relate to it. Plus, with all the silly time-outs and clock stopping bull, it takes 1/2 hour or more to play the last 2 minutes.
Do like they do in hockey... PLAY... win or lose!

Baseball: A bunch of overpaid fat guys standing around working on their tans, investment portfolios and jock itch...

Go DEVILS!

NBA

Its TENNIS WITHOUT THE CHICKS

up one side of the court: score
run up the other side of the court: score
Back up to the other side: score
back up to the .. well you get the picture.

BasketBall sucks. Not the biggest hocky fan but at least the guys have some balls and have to be able to skate.

Baseball: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

How about a Mac discussio

Did I miss something? I thought this was MaccNN not ESPN. How about a discussion of Xserves? Like, has anyone else experienced excellent ROI or has, as one previous annonymous poster stated, the Xserve been a flop?

ok.

I went over to a friend to see his xserve.
It was great.
he started talking about hockey.
so i left.

re:NBA

if you think all there is to basketball is to run up a court and score then the reason sports bore you is because you can't see anything past the obvious. Basketball has the best athletes on the planet period... and what's funny is basketball is more mental then physical.

I have nothing against hockey..BTW.. and it was said to see the Wings lose!

Hahahahahaha. That's funny. First off, I'll take soccor players over NBA players, and give me cyclists over them both (don't tell me about athletes, Lance Armstrong has to pedal for 8 freakin' hours. Uphill!)

As for basketball being mental, that's really funny. There's a lot more mental in baseball then in basketball. All the pro players care about is slamdunking. All the fans care about? The same. Ever wonder why all the highlight tapes of the games are of 'exciting' slam dunks (although they all look the same, boring, to me). What thinking is there during the average NBA game? Should we foul now that we're down by 10? Hey, should we call a timeout? The substitutions are as bad as football (american style), which indicates to me there's too many players in the game who don't have a complete game, and there's too much 'thinking' by the coaches.

All Brits...

Have bad teeth

On TOPIC people!!

I really wish all you sports fanatics would shut up and keep this thread on topic! Wanna know what I think about sports!? They all suck! Why? Here's the sad reality- Sports athletes, who essentially play GAMES, get paid MILLIONS of dollars every year to run around on a field, or court, or whatever, to either hit, throw, kick or shoot a ball, or maybe whack a rubber puck with their sticks, and all the while people like teachers, who work hard to educate our youth, our very FUTURE generations of leaders, get paid barely enough to keep a decent apartment or house and support themselves. And this all happens because people like all of you continue to spend your hard earned money on these athletes and the games they play, so it rakes in tons of money. And to make it worse, many of these game-players are freakin' greedy, and want more and more money every year, just so they can buy a few more mansions, or boats, planes, cars, etc. and oh, let's not forget so they can support their DRUG HABITS! Wake up people! Stop supporting this kind of behaviour! I have nothing against the actual sports themselves, but the sad fact is that it's so totally blown out of proportion that is truly sickening to me!

i have no respect...

for any sport that requires a club, stick, racket, pole, cesta, broom (curling... ha!), bat, or other such equipment.

person, ball (or object to show team in possession), opposing person, goal, score -- that's what i watch and enjoy. football, basketball, hockey, rugby. done and done.

and to keep it slightly on topic, i wish more people were investing in xserves like this, but it requires forethought that a lot of execs these days don't have. they only see the cost of operating per quarter. too high, they get mad. regardless of how much it will save next year same quarter, or next several years.

You Americans

You Americans make me sick with the amount of attention tou pay to irrelevant things like sport. Go find an oil-rich country and slaughter their citizens, and then occupy rheir land and steal their oil.

They use a stick in hocke

Just so you know, I was recently watching a hockey game and noticed them using sticks. Of course I might be confused.

But yes, let's get this back on topic. The XServe is a nice machine, I hope to put together a compute cluster of them, but methinks I will wait till July.

haa haaaaaa

best atheletes? give me a break. they play for what 12 minutes for a millionare dollars a game?!!

best athletes:
soccor players

best athlete:
cyclists meaning the beest athlete in the world is lance armstrong

go lance!!

re:nba

BEST ATHLETE's.. ball control, hand eye coordination, power, strength, speed, quick decision making, and the ability to fly!

Soccer has a lot of these as well... I always forget about soccer probably because I'm american. I do like indoor soccer...but considering basketball players are behemouths compared to soccer players I think basketball players have the edge. Most shorter guys have a lower center of gravity and have better coordination but a guy Kobe's size with that kind of ability.. think about it.

Cycling?? Umm ok he guy has stamina and strength... let's not go overboard.

Let's not forget that SHAQ said to all the Lakers.. no one get's on this bus without an iPod, we are winners we don't want any loser technology here!

Shaq wins..!

ummm cycling?

the soccer boys play a game a day of how many hours?

tour de france is 8+ hours for like 3 weeks.

oops

i was the one who wrote about no respect for games with sticks, rackets, etc., and then firmly put my foot in my mouth by saying that i like hocky. i don't. i typed that completely without being aware of it. i think i have now lived in canada TOO LONG. ugh.

tour de france

didn't they rename that "tour de freedom"?

OK

Well, if you insist.

Re: tour de france

Quote: " didn't they rename that "tour de freedom"?"

Nope! We're just going to replace the "de" with "of"

So now, just call it the "Tour of France". That will make them really mad! :)

You Americans

" You Americans make me sick with the amount of attention tou pay to irrelevant things like sport."

Damn the Greeks for Inventing the Olympics!!!

"Can't wait for the annual Red Wings vs. Avalanche series this year! Go wings!"

Erm, I hope you're being sarcastic, because the Dead Wings got SWEPT in the first round by Anaheim. If it's not sarcasm, you must be getting your sports news from the Iraqi Information Minister (do a search in the gallery at SpyMac.com using keywords "hockey" and "iraq," and you'll see what I'm talking about).

PS- Go Flyers!
