If you watch the video closely it looks like Johnny Oduya slew footed Joey Crabb, hence the reason you hear Joey Crabb tell Oduya ef you. Then, there is fight, albeit not a very good one. I’ve got give Crabb credit for at least taking a poke at Oduya who is one tough S.O.B.

<p> Subban vs. Wheeler<br></p>

Far be it from me, to stick up for Blake Wheeler because I think he is a big bodied player that plays like he is 5’9″ but P.K. Subban was trying to elbow Wheeler in the head. I am surprised that the Canadian’s fraud Subban didn’t turtle from this fight as well. I guess he saw Wheeler as not being much of a threat.

Now compare and contrast, former Gopher and current New York Rangers defenseman Stu Bickel is making quite a name for himself with the Rangers.

Apparently, the other night the former Gopher defenseman got in two fights in a game against Philadelphia Flyers. One of his fellow combatants Flyers cement head Tom Sestito got into three fights. I got to give Bickel credit, and he is a much better fighter than former fellow Gopher team Blake Wheeler. Unlike some of the fighters around the league and Bickel respects the hockey code and doesn’t hit an opponent once he hits the ice. I have to respect that.

Mike Matheny moved into his new office this weekend. It’s had only one occupant, but from the looks of the video footage, all TLR holes have been patched and a fresh coat of paint has been slapped up on the walls.

First, let’s note Matheny’s casual headgear. Those look like blood soaked stakes. Awesome! We’ve got ourselves a metal fan. Move over Bobby Knight, Tommy Iommi is in the HOUSE!

Oh. Those are the stakes that were driven through Jesus when he was nailed to a cross to atone for our sins? Who else thinks this year is going to be really, really Christian? I mean like REALLY Christian.

The Secret. I searched long and hard on Amazon for 4 minutes and couldn’t find out what this Secret was. Doesn’t seem to look like the cult classic. Good news, though, Mike doesn’t like reading much. He’s already courting his base.

The New York Giants celebrated their Super Bowl 46 victory this morning with a parade and ceremony as fans have clamored to find Super Bowl swag.

I just finished watching the Miami and Michigan game on my DVR and wow what a game. Also, if you think WCHA officials are bad, you should go back and watch game if you have it at your disposal, the officials Keith Sergott and Brian Hill were brutal in this game, but they did appear to get this call right. Check out the video at the 02:00 minute mark. That was close.

Redskin Warriors — There are two things you’ll notice after the 2:00 minute mark of the highlight video posted above. First of all, take a look at the goal/no-goal that Rico was rather furious about. From just about every vantage point I’ve seen – on the replays in the arena (I’m amazed the arena staff kept replaying it on the video boards) and afterwards on the DVR – the puck doesn’t appear to cross the line.

New York Giants tight end Jake Ballard suffered a torn ACL in Superbowl XLVI along with Travis Beckum.

Image via WikipediaThis is today’s shocking revelation in the NHL. During the present time, when the NHL is concerned about players with concussions, we have a player that is suffering form a concussion for 14 games and doesn’t take himself out of the line up.

Tim Campbell, WINNIPEG Free Press – Evander Kane is ready to try to help the Winnipeg Jets out of their offensive funk.

The 20-year-old left-winger will return to the lineup tonight when the Jets meet the Toronto Maple Leafs at the MTS Centre (7:30 p.m., TSN Jets, TSN 1290).

Kane has missed the last seven games because of a concussion and admitted this morning he may have played with concussion-like symptoms since taking a hit against the New York Islanders on Dec. 20. He played the rest of that game and 14 more before the symptoms became more acute.

Check out this hit by Ducks defenseman Luca Sbisa on Calgary Flames forward Tim Jackman. While Sbisa does hit Jackman in the head, I definitely think the hit in question looks accidental and not malicious.

For the hit in question, Sbisa was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for headbutting Jackman. After the hit, Jackman left the game and didn’t return. I don’t think the league will give Sbisa any more supplemental discipline.

The Bears have hired a quarterbacks coach that had a lot of success with quarterback Jay Cutler in the past.

Jeremy Bates, who spent three seasons in Denver with Cutler (2006-2008) helped Jay perform at a high level.

In 2008, Cutler was voted to the Pro Bowl with his, then career high 25 touchdown passes and 4,526 passing yards.

Most importantly, Cutler was only sacked 11 times during that season.

Cutler has been sacked 110 times in three seasons Chicago compared to only 51 times in three seasons in Denver.

Bates left Denver in 2009 to be the quarterbacks coach at the University of Southern California. Then, the following season he went to the Seattle Seahawks to be the offensive coordinator.

He spent last season out of football, but the Bears were happy to bring him back to Jay’s side.
