some people just dont get the beauty of it. Like watching golf most dont understand how truely hard it is to have pin point accuracy.

A "long ball" to the foot of a guy on the run is spectacular or a nice free kick, just like Bubba in the Masters is a wow move.

It's not that I don't appreciate the difficulty it is to put the right spin on the ball and such, its the boringness of a 1-NIL game that I don't enjoy. How a ball could pass mid-field 5 times with there being a change of possession each time. To me it would be like if there was running clock in hockey and there was a no icing rule. It's bloody boring

I think their posts should be kept more in a professional setting. If they want to rant and rave they should create their own personal accounts and not have TBN be part of their handle

Id rather have news than their opinions. Because honestly their opinions are so extreme it puts me off from reading their stuff.

I agree. To me their entire sports section has been turned into an opinion column.

And I think having that makes the reader less educated on what's going with our sports teams. Your not learning anything by reading it. I don't know why tbn continues to publish their stuff.

Think the GM announcement happens today? Or do you think they wait until tomorrow late morning or early afternoon?
- Stripes77


I bet they wait a few more days an do it in an official press conference manner with all the pomp and circumstance. 2-1 odds Pegula cries.

I agree. It's a "news" paper. It's a place where people go to get actual news. Not someone's opinion especially a reporter who has a person feud with a sports team because an owner didn't speak at the end of the season, or that team didn't honor a former player.

Only if Perreault is there. I don't think there will be as much pomp and circumstance. There will be a formal presser but I don't think it would take more than an hour or so to set up for

When Matt Ellis decides to stop playing hockey(MFE doesn't retire) he will have a statue outside of the arena next to the French Connecion.

When the time comes and we have morned the loss of MFE we will build an expansion to the harbor center with a large rink where the building is shaped in the mold of MFE.

This is ofcourse after the area becomes know as Matt Freaking Ellisville

But have they really announced the press conference for tomorrow? Worst kept secret ones they announce it
