scottie bowman is gonna get canned

[IMetTrentGreen]

look for the red wings to announce they are letting him go soon. got word from a decent source about this. they have someone else in mind, was all i was told. couldn't tell me whom even though he knew

odd move, at least for someone who doesn't follow hockey all that closely

[henry296]

Bowman isn't the coach anymore... They let go of Dave Lewis and are probably hiring Mike Babcock.

[sovereignstar]

Who the fuck is your "source"? Honolulu_Blue (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/forums/showpost.php?p=830682&postcount=883)?

[Ksyrup]

I hear the Tigers are sick of this rebuilding shit year after year and are letting Sparky Anderson go.

[ice4277]

for someone who doesn't follow hockey all that closely
NOOOOOOO...really?

[Pyser]

i think his source is espn.com.

"dave, we're firing you."
"why?"
"you didnt win one game last year!"

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Just as long as Chuck Daly stays with the Pissed-ons...

I don't know what is funnier - the "decent source" part or the "doesn't follow hockey all that closely" part

[Ksyrup]

The Red Wings follow hockey about as closely as a team can, I would imagine.

[Philliesfan980]

I really don't know how Wayne Fontes has managed to keep his job this long.

[Subby]

I hear Oklahoma has a pretty good recruit named Tommy Harris...kid is going to be an awesome pro one day...

[BigJohn&TheLions]

I really don't know how Wayne Fontes has managed to keep his job this long.

I think the new coordinators this year will really fit in with the team and push it over the hump. The new coordinators last year just didn't fit. The new offense and defense will be more like the previous offense and defense which should help with the confusion. The offense and defense lastr year were just too different from the previous year's offense and defense which took a while to adjust to after the previous years coordinator's were fired just when the team started to adjust from the previous year's coordinators.

One thing you can always count on Wayne to do is fire them coordinators!

Yeah I heard this new Silver Stretch offense they are bringing in is really the bee's knees.

[Swaggs]

Mark my words, the Lions are going to regret drafting Barry Sanders while Tim Worley was on the board.

[JeffR]

They'll be fine as long as Ty Cobb is still leading off.

[Greyroofoo]

I'm sure glad the chargers picked Ryan Leaf with the 2nd overall pick

[BigJohn&TheLions]

I thinkm the Drive will win the Arenabowl again this year.

[timmynausea]

Rick Mirer just had an awesome rookie season. I have a source that says he'll be much better than Bledsoe.

[sachmo71]

man, this is funny

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Damn I wish Hebert was the QB for the Lions, but I bet the Panthers win several titles in the next few years.

[klayman]

As long as Johnny Ogrodnick is back, the Wings will be fine. He's the heart of the team anyway.

[JeffNights]

Yes, that Bob Probert is such a great guy off the ice, he's a role model for all the young fans.

[Philliesfan980]

Lance Parrish is a hall of fame catcher!

[sterlingice]

I feel good about another Penn State RB for the Bears. That first one just had to be a fluke.

SI

[TLK]

With an outfield stacked with Lemon, Gibson, Herndon and Grubb..... how can the Tigers not repeat in 85'?

[Suicane75]

Woot! I heard on the radio earlier that we traded for Lenny Dykstra, let the rebuilding begin.

[TLK]

I can't believe the Pistons left Rick Mahorn unprotected in the expansion draft.... after everything he has done for this city.... that is bull-shit.

Dude, can you imagine he and Barkley on the same team?

[sovereignstar]

Earlier today my Uncle Tony walked to the store to pick up a pack of cigarettes and stopped on the way to watch a little streetball. He kept on rambling on about this one kid. Lopez or something. Felipe Lopez, that's it. I guess he's gonna be a star.

THE TIGERS JUST GOT DOYLE ALEXANDER FROM ATLANTA!!!

All they had to give up was a minor leaguer too! This is totally awesome!!!

In all seriousness..

Alexander pitched like a motherfucker after we acquired him. That was a decent trade for the Tigers, and I wouldn't have it any other way....

[JeeberD]

How dare the Astros trade away Larry Andersen for some light hitting third baseman?!?! We've already got the great Camo on third...where is this Bagwell kid gonna go?

[BigJohn&TheLions]

In all seriousness..

I know, I know... But it still was a trade that 10 years later you shook your head and said "Damn, did they have to give up Smoltz?" Hell, in the postseason you started saying it.

[Ksyrup]

The Dodgers stole Delino Deshields from the Expos for nothing more than a middle reliever!

[Pumpy Tudors]

I'm already getting my celebration started! My Cardinals are up 3-1 on the Royals. We're going to have our second World Series title in four years! Woohoo!

[bbor]

I think this Gordie Howe kid is gonna be a player.

[Philliesfan980]

This is seriously one of the greatest threads of all time

I'm glad that the Red Sox have traded away Clemens, I think his best days are behind him.

[Pumpy Tudors]

With stars like Jim Kelly, Steve Young, Herschel Walker, and Sam Mills, this USFL can go for a long time. Arena Football doesn't stand a chance!

[Draft Dodger]

can't give you that one.
a lot of Dodger fans (myself included) were pretty down on this trade when it happened.

[duckman]

I heard the Dallas Cowboys hired Jimmy Johnson. I bet they win a couple of Super Bowls.

[sovereignstar]

Guys, I don't know about this whole free agency thing.

[Easy Mac]

THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!

Oh, yeah. You too. Fuck the 1985 Royals. :(

[Honolulu_Blue]

I love this thread!!! Why do these things happen while I'm on vacation?

[timmynausea]

Sure, Bowman may be gone, but will Wayne Fontes be back? My source says he is out. What does this mean for Scott Mitchell?

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

I'm sure glad the chargers picked Ryan Leaf with the 2nd overall pick
He'll be much better than Peyton IMHO.

[Pumpy Tudors]

It doesn't have to end yet. Didn't you hear that Bam Morris is the future for the Steelers?

[cthomer5000]

J.J. Stokes is the next Jerry Rice - outstanding move by the 49ers. bravo!

[DeToxRox]

The XFL is starting up ... Finally, some real competition for the NFL.

[Izulde]

Tommy Maddox was a suprise pick, but man is he gonna be the next Elway or what?

[Swaggs]

Once this Herschel Walker deal gets approved, the Vikings are going to be unstoppable. Stupid Cowboys, I can't believe they'd give him up for freakin' picks.

[Greyroofoo]

I did not have sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Damn it. This Len Bias kid is going to be the foundation for the Celtics to dominate the league for the next decade. Now the Pistons will never win it all... :(

[BigJohn&TheLions]

...and watch out for Tampa Bay. With Steve Young and Bo Jackson they could be potent on offense. I don't know why, but for some reason I see Tampa as sort of a combination of San Fransisco's passing game and the Raiders' running. Sure, Bo said he won't play for the Bucs, but once that money is put in front of him I think he'll get hip.

And mark my words: the defense is in fine hands with this hot-shot assistant Fontes in charge. He could be head coach material very soon.

[JeeberD]

Emmit Smith? Are you kidding me? The kid has no speed at all and he ain't big enough to run people over. We should have traded up for Blair Thomas. I can see that kid breaking Sweetness' all time rushing record.

It all goes to the trading of Hershell Walker. Worst trade ever. And don't even get me started on Jimmy Johnson. He'll never adjust to the pros. I mean, Tom Landry should be in Dallas for eternity. I suppose Johnson thinks that he'll win a few Super Bowls in Dallas and then go back to Miami and push Shula out of a job next.

Oh, and as for UM. The'll be fine. Erickson is a damn good coach. I think he'll be an even better pro coach than Johnson one day, and even after he wins national championships in Miami and leaves UM will just continue to win!

[Draft Dodger]

I think that SkyDog fella is going to make a GREAT moderator.

I see wedding bells for Ron and Nicole Brown!

Rich Kotite got a bum deal in Philly. He's exactly what the Jets need to turn this thing around. I smell Super Bowl.

You had a very small window to make this comment, unfortunately.

[Ksyrup]

Rich
Do you really think he deserves the respect of having his name remembered correctly?

[JAG]

I think the Cowboys made a big mistake with their recent trade of Steve Walsh. He's a born winner and will be much better than that Aikman guy. I can't believe they only got a first, second, and third round pick for him.

[Subby]

I just got off the phone with Nate Newton. He has a business proposition he wants to run by me that he calls "totally low risk."

I guess being retired has made him antsy and all...

[Ksyrup]

I really think Tim Johnson is the perfect guy to replace Cito Glaston. This team is in need of serious motivation, and his life experiences will provide the perfect motivational stories those players need.

[Karlifornia]

Sorry, Magic...I don't have a condom...not to worry, though. This one looks kosher, buddy!
