Preemptive Maneuvers

A special shout-out to Cheezer and Romiezzo who take time every day to not only read the cookie, but edit the unobvious, somewhat "accidental" accidents. Thanks guys...

It is as if Romi and the Cheddar already read today's Cookie before it was published. They both sent me gifts and Romi left a message about the next section and the Homer of the Day articles. Thanks for the support guys...

Homer of the Day

Romiezzo is slacking with his Homer of the Day article series. I'm not sure if he needs any help, but if anyone wants to offer their services then let him know your services are available...

Recruiting

Let's get AGM flowing some more. Write more people and invite friends to read your stuff. Maybe they'll see something that interests them from someone else, as well. The talent is here, let's build on it. Get those opinions flowing!!!

Post-emptive Maneuvers

Alley-Hoop

Ray Allen pulled out another game-winning shot from his bag, as the Celtics buried the Bulls in a crucial game two in the Garden. Falling behind two games to none going back to Chicago was a non-option for the Celtics. With only two-thirds of the Big Three, they Celts are even now even in the first round series. The Spurs also evened their series with the Dallas Mavericks...

Hot Ice

The Boston Bruins are on fire. They continue to flat out own Montreal. The blow-out continued north of the border. Boston rolled to its third win in as many games. It wasn't all bad for the neighbors of the north. Calgary grabbed its first win of the series against the Blackhawks. The Capitals finally won a game against the Rangers. Simeon Varlamov held a shut-out and Alexander the Great's under-study added two goals of his own in the four score lockdown in the Bigg Apple...

Unsportsrelated Havoc

I hope everyone else enjoyed four-twenty as much as I did...

Ever Wonder?

Do professional athletes get the traditional "Mondays" or do their "notfeelinglikeworking" days come at a different point of the week?

Tossing Pennies

Is LeBron James better at basketball than Alexander Ovechkin is at hockey? Is Albert Pujols better at baseball than Larry Fitzgerald is at football? Who is the best at their sport?

Personally, I'm torn between naming Wayne Gretzky or Jerry Rice the top honors. I limit myself to only the four major sports. Basketball is judgmental and baseball has always had its debates on "the greatest player ever." Rice is (in the eyes of most fans) the best football player of all-time, but nobody has ever come close to dominating a hockey game like the Great One. Gretzky gets my vote here...

in an odd coincidence

A) only 2 of those 10 teams (who play in said stadiums) have ever won the SB

B) only 1 has won it in the last 30 years...

How do you get to the end of the game and have your best offensive player on the bench and no ability to call a time-out? Great coaching.

Y'know, I watched the last quarter and I agree...I wish I knew more about basketball to be able to explain (or understand) but from my casual perspective, I agree...

Boo on the Habs fans for booing the American national anthem, great sportsmanship frenchies. I thought it would be curious to see how the B's would handle the hostile Bell centre but it was fine, not even an issue and man was that place rocking.

Calgary avoided the sweep and showed some fight. This series just got interesting. So much so that I change my prediction from Hawks in 5 to Hawks in 7, I love playoff smash em up hockey.

Caps win, oh course they did. When Avery self destructs the Rangers lose, 18 minutes in penalty's and a pretty lame attempt to rattle the goalie. The guys a rookie Avery and he didnt even move his arms or really look at you. Good job douchebag.

Well the Blues apparently did the same thing against the Canucks. We're great neighbors!

Varlamov, youngest goalie to record a shutout in Stanley Cup history.

It didn't seem like all the Habs fans were booing our anthem. But it was sweet justice that Phil Kessel (Madison, WS) scored a goal and Tim Thomas (Davison, Michigan) got a win. Oh and Les Habitantes booed their own players at the end of the game more than they booed our anthem.

Did you hear jack edwards at the end of the game...

"234 years ago yesterday, a bunch of rag-tag farmers stood up against the greatest fighting force in the world"

I couldn't stop laughing...The Philly announcers (Jim jackson, looking at you) are nothing to write home about, but Jack Edwards is like Tommy Heinsohn but less entertaining, more vicious, just as much of a homer and a douchebag to top it off...

Ryder scoring the winner, have fun with that Les Habitants.It was just a few fans booing the anthem but then they booed their own players, nice hockey town. Those fans just suck the life out of everything.They just don't understand why Vincent Lecavalier wouldn't want to leave Florida and come home.

Capitals meet your new starting goalie-Varlamov.JT meet the door.

I don't mind the St.Louis fans booing, at least there are fans in the seats what they do in that seat I don't care.Vancouver looks great don't they? What a difference a new attitude makes, last year they were cream puffs with accountability. This year looking at Bobby Lou wrong earns you a face wash.

Continuing with the playoff hockey theme here,I am having a blast watching the Habs get their butts handed to them by the B's and seeing Ocho kept off the scoreboard by King Henry.

I too am enjoying what has happened to the Habs.

I have mixed emotions about the Washington/Rangers series. On one hand, Washington getting eliminated makes the Bruins' playoff road much more manageable. On the other hand, a 2nd round date with Lundqvist and the Rangers isn't too appealing. NYR matches up really well against us, and all 4 games played this year were close, very close. Plus, they're New York. On the other hand, it'd be nice if all the Ovechkin noise died down and I could hear myself think.
