    NLCS Giants Vs Cardinals Game Thread

    With the Pats playing tonight I didn't watch the game so could someone tell me if Fox interviewed Michael Wacha's family tonight?

    Dish network vs Directv

    You are correct, Directv will certainly offer to reduce your bill when you call to cancel and you can get some pretty good offers once you get to the retention department. It may be a better option than switching. I was in a similar situation last year when I called to complain. I was around...

    End of Game (hoop) fiasco: Rule questions

    Honestly, I don't know what else you can do in that situation other than have to call a timeout that you don't have. You're right if you do nothing, the clock expires and the game ends. At that point you'd be left to pleading your case to the officials after the fact and I'm sure they do...

    End of Game (hoop) fiasco: Rule questions

    Bleedred your interpretation of the backcourt rule is correct and it should have been a violation because the player caught the ball midair after he was in the frontcourt. Catching the ball midair is the key is this scenario. The player's last legal status was in the frontcourt and upon catching...

    As poorly handled as this entire process has been, from the delay in firing Whitehead to losing Montgomery as a potential replacement, it would be a major win for Maine if Abbott can lure Capuano from the Islanders. Otherwise it's a very meh group of finalists.   I really felt going into this...

    Big announcement coming Tuesday in Orono....UMaine will be announcing the committee that will conduct the search for Tim Whitehead's replacement.   So it has taken the administration and AD Steve Abbott a week to form a search committee following a three-week evaluation of the entire hockey...

    I think it's safe to say Montgomery was the name most of the fans were hoping for. He's a great hire for Denver and will do a good job there. I was really looking forward to seeing him behind the bench at the Alfond. With that said, you have to wonder if this might have worked out differently...

    You're one season early on the HE playoff format. Only the first round is best of three with the four QF series winners advancing to the Garden for single elimination semis and then the Championship game. Next year when Notre Dame arrives and all 11 teams make the playoffs there are best of 3...

      BU is in a tough, tough position going into the QF series against Merrimack. Right now Merrimack is the 32nd and final Team Under Consideration in the Pairwise ratings with an RPI of .5019. If their RPI drops below .5000 Merrimack is no longer a TUC. The issue for BU is they have a 3-0-0...

    As crazy as this entire thing has been, I wouldn't bet against anything happening, but you have to think that any ACC school jumping ship is less likely than it was a couple of days ago. Even if their landing target was the SEC. With all 12 schools voting to raise the buyout to $20 million and...
