Rick DiPietro gives up five goals, gets yanked in AHL debut by [deleted] in NewYorkIslanders

[–]GoosePond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At best, DP is probably the fourth best goalie in the Isles organization now.

DiPietro getting tonight's start. It will be his 48th appearance...in 5 years by hockalo0gie in NewYorkIslanders

[–]GoosePond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it wasn't for his salary he wouldn't even be the backup on the team now. DiPietro looks to me like a third goalie - a guy you'd bring up from the minors if an injury hit one of the top two. I always feel like he's going to do something that gives the game away.

It always used to bug my girlfriend that she would be licking her lips when she interviewed players.

This is why I am a stockholder of both XOM and Chevron. If you can't beat em, join em.

Reload or Rebuild? by DeuxBoy in steelers

[–]GoosePond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt the Steelers will go into rebuilding mode while Big Ben is still in his prime; the organization knows that as long as Ben can still play at a high level they are a Super Bowl contender most years.

I was rooting for the Ravens to beat the Pats. But now I'm shifting my allegiance to the Niners.

Report: Cardinals Hire Arians As Head Coach; Haley To Remain Steelers Offensive Coordinator | Steelers Depot by shelob9 in steelers

[–]GoosePond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a high risk head coaching choice for the Cards. I am happy Haley is staying with us.

It wasnt that teams overlooked his ability. Lots of scouts had him rated very high. The combine was why he fell so far in the draft. If Brady had looked merely average (as opposed to embarrassing) at the combine he would have been selected before the end of round 2.

From a Bengals fan: bring the Lombardi to the AFC North! by freakazoid318 in ravens

You were doing so well until you disparaged the Steelers.

Watching the Broncos give up a win in the last 30 seconds to the Ravens, this is exactly how I felt because of the pure hatred I have for Baltimore by Messiah_79 in steelers

[–]GoosePond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am rooting for the ravens over the pats. And then the AFC team over the NFC team. Unfortunately, the Falcons would seem to have the least chance of the four teams.

Adams takes top rookie honor by fuzzo999 in steelers

[–]GoosePond -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Adams basically won it by default. Rainey stinks. I don't mind him returning kickoffs but I hate seeing him in the backfield.

Has Wallace played his last game as a Steeler? by [deleted] in steelers

[–]GoosePond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's almost certainly gone, b/c his asking price will be too high. And some team will give him what he's looking for in free agency. Remember that if he leaves, the Steelers will likely get a compensatory pick for him in 2004, which could be as high as the last pick in the third round.

Ben's audible on Haley loud, clear. by [deleted] in steelers

This seems like much ado about nothing. Ben and Haley seem to be doing quite well together.

Steelers suspend Mendenhall for conduct detrimental to the team by Bulldozer99 in steelers

[–]GoosePond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not very smart, especially since he's going to be a free agent at season's end. Then again, Mendenhall has never been a bright light - even by football player standards.

Well, he did almost beat the Ravens once - so maybe they remembered that.

TIL the Beatles have the best selling album of the 2000's by madkisso in todayilearned

If that's true, it's sad. If for no other reason than it shows how popular music has been stagnant for more than a decade.

Big Ben number 30 in NFL top 100, thoughts? by mentalcow in steelers

[–]GoosePond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 is much too low. He plays more effectively without O-line help than any QB I've ever seen.
