Unless you like great food... best Mexican and Asian food in the country, bar none.

The rest of it could slide into the San Andreas for all I care, though.

Good for you... at 21 I wanted all the Brain dead, Artificially created women I could get. Of course at 31 its not something I would be willing to put up with, but 21-27.... Yup.

I always liked "cute" girls over "hot" girls (except for my junior prom date...damn). Hot girls are annoying and spoiled, and usually lose it all around 30 or so. Cute girls are where it's at.

The Flyers have had a guy or two in the organization that are recovering alcoholics (Homer, for example), so maybe that might account for the whole "give a guy a second chance" thing.

You see it all the time with players who can offer something to the team. Tibbetts was terrible. I would have wanted him cut even if he was a standup guy who saved 14 babies and 12 puppies from a fire.

I hate most ethnic foods. Most Asian stuff (some Chinese is good), anything from South America, most African stuff.

Just give me a steak with potatoes any day and I'm set.

Who would want to live anywhere near Newark, NJ. I mean at some level living conditions, has to equal player ambitions. Not too many people choose to go to NJ in UFA, and I think there is a reason why....
- youarewrong


You don't think those players on the Devils live in Newark proper, do you?

They likely go there to practice (I think their practice rink is also at the Rock) and GTFO of dodge back to whatever nice North Jersey suburb they live in.

Thanks for clearing that up. Still begs the question as to why a moderator would revive it.

Something seriously interesting, check
Valid and pertinent, check
Humorous, check
Sarcasm, check

.....but being the first to post "First"?? Really????

Remember the Kevin Stevens experiment with the Flyers?

We didn't get "Premier Power Forward" version of Kevin Stevens.

We got the "I'm recovering from a crack and whore habit" Kevin Stevens.

Didn't work out so good.

Couldn't deal with the pressure, huh?
- jmatchett383

I detest that franchise with every fiber of my being, and I do not know exactly why. My virtual player lost his passion for hockey, and instead pursued an exciting career as an insurance actuary.

Just because you have the power to choose your initial team doesn't mean you have any real control over your destiny.

You could pick LA, for a million wonderful reasons, and then end up getting dealt to Buffalo or Ottawa the very next day.

UFA is the time for hand-picking your dream destination and get a NTC. Everything before that should be about establishing your game and cultivating your reputation.

There is something about Philadelphia where our owners like bringing in great players past their prime.

San Diego Good vacation spot. Excellent retirement spot

San Francisco Awesome place with great living conditions. Meant more for a younger/liberal crowd.

Not a lobster fan, but crab legs will do. Not big on seafood.

I was half asleep in bed yesterday after the Australian Open and one of them came on. I wanted to hurl my remote at the TV. ESPN is just horrible.

I'm sorry, but at 21...makeing 950K in a professional sport, I'm going to be more hit-it and quit-it... at least for a while... until the "hot" stupid girls get old, then I'll settle for Hot and Smart...

There are only 6 in existence. If you can obtain all 6, you get a magic power, but it's not all that cool. You just kinda have the ability to become unable to smile.

They should make every professional athlete sit down and have Derek Jeter lecture them on how to handle dating as a single athlete.
