There was the Kansas City Royals fan who surrendered because of his frustration by selling 20 years of memorabilia on the internet and allowing the winning bidder to choose his new team.
But this is different.

This was Hall-of-Fame week for the National Hockey League. The Sabers, Ducks, and Sharks all keep their spots on the top, while the Coyotes and Flyers still bring up the rear. Where does your team finish?

Blogging the NFL Week 11
Game of the Week: San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos – First place is on the line in the AFC West. The Chargers have the top scoring offense in the NFL averaging 33 points per game and the Broncos are the top scoring defense in the conference allowing only 12.3 points per game.
I’m taking the Chargers to pull off the upset on the road.
Game Not Worth Watching: Detroit Lions at Arizona Cardinals – For the second week in a row the Lions are featured in this section and for the second week in a row they will lose to a really, really bad team.
Worst Team in the NFL
The Arizona Cardinals are 1-8 on the season and rank 29th in scoring offense and 30th in scoring defense. They will have the opportunity to let go of the title as the NFL’s worst team this weekend when the Detroit Lions come calling.

No Rematch Required
Ohio State secured a berth in the National Championship Game on Saturday, defeating Michigan, and becoming the stand alone, unquestioned leader of the pack. It was not controversial, nor disputed. By winning the game, Ohio State knocked out the second challenger from the number two position this year.
For those of you have lived under a rock since mid-September, there is a little game this week that has some significance on the National Championship picture. That little game? Ohio State takes on Michigan. Sure, it’s been covered from every angle, and no, I’m not going to waste more time on covering the game. Instead, here are a few games that you might have not heard about this week.
You know you love ’em. Somewhere deep inside yourself, in places you don’t like to talk about, there grows a strong and profound love of Duke basketball. I know, I know. There was a time when I too shared this shameful secret. I joined the groans that came with every Blue Devil win, year after year. I feigned disgust every time I saw Christian Laettner drop in that famous fade away. I cursed Coach K and made wild accusations of referee tampering and tournament committee bias with the rest of the Duke haters. Then, on one fine March evening, I realized that I liked the Dukies because of the way they focus on team basketball, the way they hustle on defense, and the way they always, always, ALWAYS win. It was that day that I stood up and embraced my inner Blue Devil, that little voice inside my head telling me what I already knew—I am a Duke fan.

10 NFL Questions: Week 11
Nine games into the season, we are finally being shown some team’s true identities. The Falcons, Bengals, Rams, Vikings, and Jags have all declined from the teams they were a month ago. Even New England is down, after back-to-back losses for the first time in years. While the NFL’s middle ground remains muddled, two things are clear: some teams are elite while many have already secured a top 10 pick in next year’s draft. This week, with the exception of a few games, it’s the haves playing to have-nots.

Michigan vs Ohio State
Usually I’ll leave other people for superlatives, but for when two unbeaten teams, ranked #1 and #2 in the nation, get together for a game which virtually decides who’s going to the National Championship game in January, then I’m the first to say that it doesn’t get bigger than this. This is the big one…Michigan vs Ohio State.
I’ve decided to make my own predictions in honor of all the sportscolumn controversy. But so as to not be accused of plagiarism, I’m only making projections that nobody else will make.
These are my five games of the week- five games you won’t see on television, but that you’d definitely wonder who would win.
Five starters return to the Virginia Tech men’s basketball team this season. These are five starters from a 14-16 team, but in a rare example of life intruding into sports, this team has an excuse and a reason to expect more.
