Pittsburgh is favored in the East, Detroit in the West.
The Winter Classic is scheduled for Wrigley Field on New Years Day, with the Stanley Cup Champions Detroit Red Wings facing both the Chicago Blackhawks and the brutal wind off of Lake Michigan.
Who else besides me is sick and tired of hearing about Brett Favre?? I know I am!!
He’s a little whiny b!tch.
Happy birthday, Sid!

Go Flyers!
LOL! Flyers?
Better luck next year!
So is someone gonna start a thread for the Steelers-Eagles pre-season game tonight ? LOL!
My My we have issues don’t we?
Happy Birthday Sid The Kid!!!! Please excuse the Flyers fans!!!
That’s tonight???
Let me look..........
Yes it’s on the NFL Network. Its about ready to start.
Found it on WLYH 21 local channel here near Harrisburg.
Thanks for the heads up!!
Just saw Willie Parker break one loose!
I think it's called Projection. I'm not the one constantly crying and complaining to the officials. He does not act sportsmanlike most of the time. They wouldn't call him "Cindy" for nothing.
Enormous talent ... and a genuine nice guy. Mature beyond his years. Head on straight.
A joy to watch, especially for Penguin fans.
Perfectly cast in his role as the marketing face of the NHL.
I read in an interview - he has been able to drink since 19 as a Canadian, but hangs out with the underage Penguins in the States. He keeps them (and himself) entertained and out of the bars.
He did say his fav is Jack Daniels & Coke.
Competing against the Rose Bowl, The Cotton bowl, The Sugar Bowl.........etc. Brilliant marketing and scheduling! (not !)
I recently found out that they had a game last year too..........go figure.
Two professional hockey teams, playing outdoors at Wrigley Field, or a slew of commercials, sprinkled with a dusting of college football.
Look. I get it. More people watch football than hockey. But football is rapidly becoming what baseball has already become. Drawn out. 3 hours and more for a 1 hour game. Commercial after commercial after commercial after commercial after....
Football fans are so rude that I wouldn't take my family to a game. Players are becoming legends in their own minds. Criminal behavior is fast becoming the norm as opposed to the exception. 30 second plays (or less) wrapped around 2 minutes (or more) between plays. Prices that are so high a family of 4 has to save up like their going on vacation.
Honestly, I'm glad that hockey isn't like football. If it was, I wouldn't be so attracted to it.

Actually it is brilliant marketing. Once upon a time those bowls were all played on New Years Day but thanks to the glorious BCS that is not true. Last year the only football game the hockey game went up against was the Citrus, Outback and Cotton Bowls which are really lesser bowls.
Brett? Who?
And you can’t even get a drink in Lynchburg where it’s made because it’s dry.
Really!
Been there. Couldn’t do that!
LOL!
