that's a good call, but eastwood's too old. 20 years ago, maybe.

Just heard a bit on Howard 101 where they were playing Mutombo sound bites with Cookie Monster... I was howling.

I'll say this much: Going to the game is about 20,000x better than watching it on TV, for like 5 minutes. Then, yeah, it's like watching it on TV.

When I was kid, I enjoyed playing soccer, but man, watching it is like watching grass grow. Nothing like watching one team score early than playing keep away for 85 minutes. Hmm, the more I think about it, it's pretty much the same as watching the Devils in the Lemaire era.

You should have punched him out. He was a tomato can.

Was he really? I never knew much about him other than he fought Krystoff Oliwa every time he played against the Devils.

Boyle has gotten old in a hurry after his bad concussion, and the Flyers already have one 35+ defenseman under contract for next season who can run the PP but can't kill penalties.

You might say he's gone off the boil.

Lol, I like the pun.

I'd only be interested in Boyle as a short-term bridge to the kids.

It's exactly like that, actually. All of the players constantly flop around and fake injury like Claude Lemieux.

If Boyle took a one-year deal, I'm okay with it. Past that, no thanks.

i was at a fundraiser for Ice Hockey in Harlem, and he was on the rangers at the time, which probably speaks to why he was an bumhole. fighting him at the event wouldn't have gone over well.

Hey if the FDNY and the NYPD can have a bench clearing brawl during a fundraiser, anything is possible. I would have caved his face in.

Sounds like this dude:



Knowing my luck, one of you is him. But I met him once, and he gave me a look that basically implied, "I am SO MUCH more of a fan than you."

i considered this before my post, but this event was in 2000, well before hockey charity game fights were all the rage.
