The Idiots Have Taken Over: ESPN Screws it up AGAIN

I can't even tell now. This ESPN (ESPNNewYork) craziness is now getting to me & I don't even know whether or not someone is out there trolling the internet (which would be awesome) or truly not doing their job at ESPN. Total Sports Blog put up this article yesterday that blew my mind.

It's about how ESPN is still mucking up the details with NHL players. Katie Strang may have written the article (which is a to-the-point, good article) on how the Boston Bruins have traded goaltender Tim Thomas to the New York Islanders, but whoever put that picture of NBA's Tim Thomas is, for lack of a better word, an idiot. Here's a screen shot from the article who they gave credit to @FlyersNation:




Normally I love this kind of stuff but this one's too much. They get the coverage right on some 17 year-old signing a piece of paper that claims he's going to this geographical location for 4 years to develop alcoholism & contract various sexual diseases, but they can't get a professional, two time Vezina winning, Con Smythe & Stanley Cup Champion's picture right. It's called Google, & here he is ESPN: Tim Thomas.

Whewww.....End Rant.

Shanahan laying down the law

The new enforcer for player's safety in the league, Brendan Shanahan, has laid down a 4 game suspension to Buffalo Sabres winger Patrick Kaleta after delivering an intentional headbutt to Philadelphia Flyers winger Jakub Voracek. See for yourself and judge whether or not he deserves it:



He's a repeat offender and for shots like that you need to serve time.

Incredible night!

Though my Panthers lost in the last 2.5 seconds tonight, we had an incredibly wild match-up between the new Jets franchise and the feisty Flyers:
