CHAMP Car Rumble

July 31, 2006

The fight in the pits between Paul Tracy and Alex Tagliani in the CHAMP Car race in San Jose is the last straw. I need hockey season to start, and I need it now. I feel like Joel Goodsen in class right now. The clock is going backwards. There wasn’t much to the Tracy/Tagliani scrap, [...]

Speaking of Old School

July 22, 2006

The Ref’s post got me to looking around for some old school fight videos. Naturally, I went to You Tube. Any fight fan should be very familiar with this site by now. I found a dandy out there. The Grim Reaper is in there, as is Bob Probert. There is a great tilt where GB [...]

Free Agent Palooza ’06

July 2, 2006

Well, it’s been free agent signing period for a little over three hours, and the Bruins have yet to do anything stupid. We got that going for us, which is nice. I saw Tie Domi got bought out up in TO. I wonder if that is a commentary on enforcers being phased out in general, [...]
