I didn't have a better answer. You must be the second funniest poster on the site.

A kid I know who wrestled in high school used to listen to that song on a 45 minute loop before any match to pump him up....or at least make him crazy enough to want to kill someone.

Good call.

Fair enough I just find it odd that you perhaps make your living off of something that cost a friend of your his freedom.

Granted I'm not old enough to fully understand but from all I can tell the Mean Joe Greene Ad was just phenominal. I actually shed a tean when watching that commercial and I wasn't even old enough to see the true context. doesn't hurt that I'm a diehard Steelers fan possibly.

Sweet, mine doesn't work anymore so if anybody would be so kind it'd be awesome if someone would make me a new one.

What weight is that? 112 lbs? Good job, I was the first ever high school gold medalist at my school.

Lieberman is one don't worry.

Leagal to dring in Ontario and B.C. now.

I don't think any positional help is coming from the free agant wire, or pitching help for that matter.

I don't care much just thought I'd put it out there. Steve Passmore actually looked decent in the third, but he's always faltered when given a starting chance.

It's windy as f*** where supernuke is, tabletop flat, probably crazy cold. Here I'm looking at about 2+ ft of snow...skiing time!

I know he did but it was an anomoly on an otherwise very washed up player's career.

I watched them beat Calgary, Calgary is done.

Jay bell's last big year was in the early 90's. He's done!

Something that hasn't been mentioned is two-fold, heroes and opportunity. We know there aren't a lot of black hockey players and tennis players and golfers, skiiers, ect... but there wasn't many heroes for these new kids growing up, using hockey again as an example, it's almost impossible to find a black hockey player in the NHL today who doesn't credit a Grant Fuhr or the like as his hero. Tiger Woods is doing the like. The second is opportunity, since these sports are only now reaching more kids, the kids are participating in sports that their parents never were introduced too, as a result these parents aren't part of the all too prevalent politics of youth sport that deny so many gifetd athelete's the chance they deserve to really excell at their sport. For example I coached hockey on the Native reserve 45 minutes out of town and those kids were excellent atheletes and great skaters. They were more creative as a result of not being over coached on systems(designed to prevent scoring as opposed to create it), and had skated on ponds and with friends more then travel to games and go to organized practice. However their major downfall was a real lack of opportunity, where to take that game further? The could hope to move off the reserve to join a team(same wicked politics apply), or they could hope to develop at home with other kids of varying degrees of ability stunting their progress. We played a team that wouldn't shake our hands after the game(putting their hands inside their jerseys) the coach was eventually banned from youth hockey after I complained, but the kids often used their situation as a crutch, when we were playing poorly, blaming "The White Ref" when it was their own poor play no racism involved. In summary to this already long post, the thing I hoped to instill in all of those kids is that there are opportunities available and they needed to stop at nothing to realize them. Certainly easier said then done.

We're a little over 2% black, I do believe, I heard the U.S. is 15% but I don't know, but another factor discourages blacks in Canada and is a problem country wide. There are about 4000 indoor rinks in Canada, with the vast majority being rural, community hubs, the cities (where the largers concentrations of minorities tend to be found, have far less facilities per capita and therefore way less icetime/opportunity. If you check the kids playing Jr. hockey, you notice a surprizing rural representation.

I think the only difference is that I had, runners up Sharpton, kerry, Clark,Dean... but me thinks I detect a social conscience, slanting these results.

Kucinich 100% Bush 3% Yikes.

It warmed up here yesterday, warmed up emough to snow a foot and counting.

I think it's about 60 Canada 15 U.S 25 Euro, but I'm just guessing

Canada's world Jr. team this year had three black guys which has to be the most in history.

What makes you think that? I think North America is finally moving forward after a long period of moving sideways. Furthermore with the emergence of roller hockey in California and the game reaching audiences it hasn't ever tapped in the U.S. I think the gap of Whites to others will bridge, a hell of a lot more.

Teand to agree with that statement.
