Welcome Back NFL!
Ten touchdowns, 876 yards of total offence and a goal line stand in the final seconds.
What a start to the 2011 NFL season…and to think, we almost missed out on it because of a silly little contract dispute! If you missed Thursday night’s opener between the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints, a 42-34 win for the reigning Super Bowl champs, I hope you at least saw the highlights.
There were four touchdowns in the first quarter alone, a punt returned 72 yards for a touchdown in the second, a 108-yard kickoff return for a TD in the third and on a night of all-out offence, it came down to a huge defensive play to close it out right at the end.
What a game! (After the Jump: Pacqueoke & the Worst Penalty Kick EVER!) (more…)
Do or Die for NBA?
As the NBA lockout nears its second full month, we’re getting word now that the “big wigs” from both sides will be meeting sometime next week.
That’s noteworthy for two reasons: For one, it’ll be only the second time they’ve all been face-to-face since the lockout began on July 1st. As well, if no progress is made at the meeting, it could be a sign that games will be missed as a result of this work stoppage.
NBA commissioner David Stern has said that no progress by Labor Day weekend would be bad news for the league and its players. Let’s face it – there won’t be much, if any progress at this meeting. The two sides haven’t been talking and when they do talk, it hasn’t been positive.
One thing the players (some of them, anyway) have in their favor at the moment is the fact that they can continue to make money during the lockout, whether it’s signing deals in Europe or starring in movies. Owners around the league might be in some trouble though, especially if they also own the arena their team plays in… (more…)
Weber Money?
While most of the focus around the NHL this summer has been on the Unrestricted Free Agents, as it normally is, it has been a very interesting journey so far on the RFA side of things.
Nashville Predators captain Shea Weber won his arbitration battle with the team this week, putting pen to paper on a one year, $7.5-million contract. It’s the biggest award ever in an arbitration hearing and it also represents a $3-million raise for the burly d-man. Weber had 16 goals and 48 points in 82 games last season and was nominated for the Norris Trophy as the league’s top defenceman, but the Preds were trying to get an arbitrator to agree that a $250,000 raise was fair…Nice try!
With Weber signed, the focus now shifts to LA Kings defenceman Drew Doughty, who is still without a contract.
Doughty is a few years younger than Weber, but his numbers are similar and his credentials are pretty much spot on – Fox Sports’ Dan Rosen points out that both players have won an Olympic gold medal, both have been nominated for a Norris Trophy and both have put up at least 90 points over the past two seasons (99 for Doughty, 91 for Weber). So, does Drew Doughty deserve Shea Weber money? (After the Jump: Will the NY Islanders move? Plus: Two crazy goals from the world of soccer!) (more…)
