Poll question: Which major event would you rather attend?!
I was thinking about how it would be fun to go the convention and see what that's all about.

But if one of my teams was in a championship game, I think I'm leaning sports.

And since I've already seen my 49ers win a Super Bowl in person, I'm going World Series.

How bout you?

3. Easy. Vikings in the Super Bowl.
Edited on Tue Feb-12-08 06:32 PM by RL3AO
Hard not to laugh after reading that right?

Second would be Stanley Cup.

8. God that's a tough one.
I'd have to choose between the Superbowl and my Seahawks losing because of bad calls by corrupt refs vs. the convention and seeing my candidate lose because of bad calls by corrupt superdelegates.

you have to come to Minnesota sometime for the High School State Tournament in the middle of March. 18000 people watching High School hockey is amazing.

42. That was scary. I'm amazed that hasn't happened far more often.
Reminded me of Clint Malarchuk getting his jugular sliced open years ago. Clint got 300 stitches, spent one night in the hospital and was in practice four days later. I love hockey. :)

they cannot risk any hard contact until it is totally healed. A rupture of the carotid could be fatal.

62. I remember ESPN showed the clip...ONCE.
They wouldn't show it again. Too gory. Malarchuk would have died had there not been a EMT crew at the stadium that night, according to the docs who treated him. I like gory movies, but I remember getting queasy watching that. He was on his knees when the skate hit him, and before he hit the ice there was already a huge puddle of blood. I thought he was a dead man.

65. Yea, there's nothing like winning it. But just keep in
mind, if the Saints finally win one, you'll then say to yourself, "I just want them to win twice in my lifetime."

lol

Of course I know it's easy talk coming from a guy whose team has won it five times.
