Mighty Mailbag

Well with a little down time between sports I figured it was time to sort through ye old fan mailbag thats been sitting in my inbox, mailbox, floor for a few weeks now. So without further ado....its mailtime.


Mighty, you're an adventuresome guy. What sport do you find the most dangerous?
-I.C. Weiner

This is a toughie. Tops on the list is probably great white shark headbutting but thats more of an Australian thing. Of sports played legally in the US I have to go with hockey. Yes there's lots of dangerous thing that happen in football or mixed marshall arts but nothing seems quit as scary as having your throat slashed by a razor sharp blade as what happened to Zednik. Fortunately for him after his teammate accidently got him with an iceskate he had the ability to skate off the ice and into the ICU. Feel better buddy....

Will there be any big NBA trades that shake the landscape?
- Bjorn Liar, JD


Probably not. Jason Kidd, Ron Artest, Mike Miller , anybody on the Knicks/Portland/Redskins could be traded in the next 2 odd weeks before the NBA deadline. However given the difficulty in making the cap work, the conservative nature of most NBA GMs and the fact that most teams are unwilling to sell their stars for pennies on the dollar (ahem Memphis) trades like that rarely happen. I wouldn't be surprised though if smaller names get traded around to bolster some playoff bound teams benches.

Are there any darkhorses your willing to lay your neck out for yet for March Madness?
-Picov Andropov

My neck , no. Its an integral part of my plan for completing my dissertation. Also most nonessential organs, but thats only to pay the rent. Hmm darkhorses now is really putting my neck out but under the radar look out for Purdue, Washington State and UConn. All seem to be peaking at the right time. If they get good draws look for any of them in the Final 4 (and some bookie holding Colonel's money.

Is there any reason to pay attention to Roger Clemens on Capital Hill tomorrow?
-Erasmus B. Dragon

No. This has been another episode in simple answers for simple questions.

What's the craziest thing you've read today?
