Rangers pound Sabres, Olympic hero Miller behind rookie Stepan's hat trick

T'was a great day for the New York Rangers, as they broke in a new season by pulverizing Ryan Miller and the Buffalo Sabres 6-3. Miller, the savior for the U.S. Olympic hockey team last year, gave up 5 goals, and was on the bench for an empty netter. The Rangers' scoring attack was led by rookie Derek Stepan, 2nd round pick from Wisconsin 2008. Stepan, playing in his first regular season game, showed great passion and intelligence, for he was in the right places throughout the whole game. Stepan had impressed many throughout the preseason and shined playing on a line with Sean Avery and Ruslan Fedotenko. Brandon Dubinsky also scored 2 goals, including an empty netter, and Erik Christensen scored a goal as well...

Mike Singletary-We're Shaking Our Heads at You!

Who's the NFL coach that enjoys talking a lot trash but lost every game this season? That would be 49er's Head Coach Mike Singletary. I think we all remember his explosive interview on ESPN before a big game against New Orleans in Candlestick Park this season. Mike said his team WILL stop the Saints- well guess what happened. San Francisco lost! Last week at Atlanta, Mike thinks his guys will finally get a win, and like against every other team they faced- they lost. San Francisco has a lot of issues, there is inconsistent play at QB with Alex Smith as well as the defense. So Mike Singletary you can start talking when you add a 1 in the win column. Ah Singletary- you cannot work with 'em, cannot play with 'em, can't do it! Will the 49er's get their first W this sunday vs. Philadelphia, we're not sure, but as long as you keep talking, we'll keep shaking our heads at you Mr. Singletary!

Roy Halladay! What a guy, playing 13 yrs in the MLB and not one postseason start, let alone an appearance... until yesterday that is. Yeah, as you all have probably heard, Halladay threw a no-hitter yesterday, the second in postseason history... WHOOP DEE DOO, big whoop, it was only against the team that led the NL in runs, hits, and home runs! But what does this mean for the rest of the playoff teams... I'll tell you... DANGER... IMMENSE DANGER... You do NOT want to face the Phillies... Not only a guy who has thrown for 21 wins, 219 strikeouts, and maintained a 2.44 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP is on the mound as their number one guy, but they also have another no. 1 guy in Roy Oswalt who is 7-1 since becoming a Phillie... It looks as if the Phillies seek revenge for their meltdown in the World Series against the Yankees last year. And if they happen to face the Yankees in the World Series again this year, don't count on the Yankees being the favorites...
