Great night for sports!
Wings go to double OT and take the seires in a great game.
Golden State and Denver pull huge upsets.
The Yankees and the Red Sox play a hell of a baseball game.
Gresat night for rabid sports fans, and proof that those who spend three months a year living and dying with football and ignoring the rest are missing out on some great stuff.
Great win by the tigers, BTW.

maybe its because of the lions, but i dont think football has the extreme highs that you get from other sports. like for example, march 26 avs game will probably go down as my alltime favorite sport moment. and that was a more or less meaningless hockey game. with football, every game is big, which is cool in its own way, but it seems like its hard to differentiate the lvl of importance from one game to the next. this indeed is a great time of the year, maybe the best. too bad all week the only thing people will talk about is the draft and how millen will f it up somehow.

I agree diddy. But football has become a 365 day 24/7 industry. I've always felt, though, that nothing beats playoff hockey. It's the one playoff season I watch even if there are no Detroit teams involved.

Watched 3 basketball games and a hockey game yesterday. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Finger,

Are you going to write a review of "Go Diego Go"?

Maybe we need an "Official WTF Live Theater for Children Reviews" thread?

I think with hockey, it's at least somewhat due to the uncertainty of when a goal can be scored. I was thinking about this alot last year. In basketball, there's scoring on almost half the possessions. In football, there are occasional big plays, but generally, you know when a score is likely to happen, when a team's driving and they get closer and closer to the 20. In baseball, a homer by a scrub can sometimes be a huge surprise, but in general, you know when the runs are going to come. If it's first and third, nobody out, there's a pretty good chance a couple are going to cross the plate. If Pujols is up and the starter is tiring, there's a pretty good chance it's leaving the yard.

In hockey on the other hand, you never know when that moment is going to come. You can watch 40 minutes of a 0-0 game with great action, exciting plays, breakaways, big time saves, the whole while the tension and uncertainty steadily building. If and when your team finally scores or gets scored upon, there's just a huge release, whether in euphoria or disappointment, and it comes out of nowhere, because 17 seconds earlier the puck was down at the other end nowhere near the net it just went into.
