Ilya Kovalchuk has announced his retirement.

What.

The.

Fuck.

Unreal. I'm in absolute shock. We don't even have our pick for next season.

Gonna be a long year at the Prudential Center.

If what I'm reading is correct...

Northern Illinois jumped from #21 to #15! They're off to the Orange Bowl against Florida State!

This game is on sale for $8.99 on GamersGate, so if you're looking to get it cheap, go nuts. Just bought it myself.

10 Deuces later, Federer breaks Murray. I think that will be the point that breaks Murray's spirit. That's why Federer's the greatest of all time.

I'm hoping Fish and Brian Baker win their matches today to set up an interesting all-American quarterfinal. I'd be torn as to who to root for.

As for Federer/Malisse, the Belgian's holding his own. Just broke Federer to start the 4th set.

EDIT: So much for that. Federer has double break point at 3-2 against Malisse's serve.

This Marin Cilic - Sam Querrey match is going on forever. Into the 5th hour of play, 14-all in the 5th set.

EDIT: Cilic takes it! 17-15 in the 5th set. Querrey killed himself with a pair of double faults which led to Cilic breaking him to go up 16-15.

70 minutes later...Sharapova cruises past Rodionova 6-2, 6-3.

THANK YOU JOHAN!!!!!

Not gonna lie, I teared up while they celebrated. I've been waiting a long time for this moment.

CITY HAVE IMPLODED! QPR TAKE THE LEAD!

First the F1 race, now this? WHAT THE HELL ELSE IS GONNA HAPPEN TODAY?

Joey Barton has gone insane! QPR down to 10 men for the 9th time this season.

New Year's Eve won't be the same this year.

RIP Dick Clark, thank you for all the memories.

For now, Dick Clark...So Long

I usually start this thread around Masters time anyway, so let's get this kickstarted for today's practice round and Par 3 championship.

Who you got winning the Masters? Personally I'd like to see a player from the US (preferably Tiger, Jim Furyk, or Keegan Bradley) win it, but I wouldn't be opposed to Westwood breaking his duck in the majors.

I just heard what happened with Muamba. I share all the sentiments of everyone here and hope that he'll be okay. I can't imagine what his family must be going through right now

I was going to do that too, but I didn't get to my bracket in time after I made it.

Oh well, it's not like I'm gonna win the ESPN tournament challenge anyway.

The fix was painfully in. It was an 8 on 5 game against UNC-Asheville today. They were screwed out of a legitimate chance to pull off the greatest upset in NCAA Tournament history.

The chalk junkies got what they wanted today, and even though I have 'Cuse going to the Final Four, I'm sick to my stomach about it.

This time, it really does look like we're gonna have a new champion. I had Henderson winning 4 rounds to 1.

What an upkick in round 2 by Henderson! I smell title change tonight with the way Henderson's fighting so far.

As a Mets fan, I am extremely saddened by this news.

RIP Gary Carter, thank you for 1986 and all your contributions to the game of baseball.

At the rate the top teams are dropping, they probably will. Houston too, since I think it'll be hard not to send them to a BCS game if they go 12-0.

Another monkey wrench thrown into the Big East title race. Rutgers knocks off Cincinnati 20-3, jumps to 4-2 in the division and (for now) in the lead. Louisville and West Virginia hold tiebreakers over the Scarlet Knights, so RU will need each of them to lose in their finales.

Never forget the Thrilla' in Manilla. Epic fight, and Smokin' Joe was an epic fighter. Never backed down in the ring.

RIP Smokin' Joe

It's time for Rutgers to fire Greg Schiano. NOW. Still can't beat West Virginia (0-11 against them), and has this horrible hard-on for freshmen QB's who end up being absolute garbage. The program needs a new philosophy and a new direction, which almost always means a new coach.

Get out, Schiano. Take that Gary Nova trash with you too. Only reason he went 24-0 at Don Bosco Prep is because nobody can compete with them in New Jersey.

Utterly tragic. They should not have been racing that hard that early.

RIP Dan Wheldon

1978-2011

I will definitely get this down the line. Just don't have anymore money right now. Spent the last of it getting NHL '12. First thing I'm doing though is trying to unlock the classic teams (if they're locked) so I can put Patrick Ewing & John Starks on the modern-day Knicks

2007 Mets = Off the Hook for All-Time Biggest Chokejob (Mets led by 7 games with 17 to go, Braves led the Wildcard by 10.5 over St. Louis on August 25th)

Happyface.
