JQK

I thought they were super bowl champions.

Why is it not called the world championship then ?

It is the NFC-AFC World Championship Of Professional Football

Super Bowl is just a much more marketable name...

Rings don't have to be "OMG!!!111!! HUGE!!!"

That Seahawks ring is the perfect size for a championship ring. It's wearable. If you want something you're just going to display on your mantle, get a replica trophy (which alot of players do anyway)

That is one nice ring. A bit understated (size and design wise) but still flashy and classy.

I don't mind buying a replica so long as they're replica prices. To see people trying to show these items off as genuine is a little disconcerting, as thousands of dollars are being spent on something that isn't close to being that valuable...

Hate the Sox... like the ring...

I have found plenty of worthy knockoffs... and honestly, if some jerk-off comes up to me, out of nowhere, just to tell me "Ha-Ha! You didn't spend $300 on your jersey! Loser!"... i'm decking the guy...

What i miss.... ;-)

Well... this sucks...

This is not a pretty ring...

The latest Giants ring i think is the nicest... they learned from the last one, added the blue... plus i like round rings...

There's a legitimate realignment discussion for the NHL, though... so this meme does not apply...

I think the 4 division "pod" set up is the only way to have a decent realignment with the current number of teams and taking the geography/rivalries into consideration. Also, Phoenix...

If Phoenix stays or movies to Seattle:

Patrick Division: NJ, NYI, NYR, PHI, PIT, WAS, CBJ

Adams Division: BOS, OTT, MTL, TOR, BUF, FLA, TB, CAR

Norris Division: DET, CHI, STL, NSH, MIN, WPG, DAL

Smythe Division: SJ, ANA, LA, COL, VAN, EDM, CGY, PHX/SEA

If Phoenix movies to Quebec:

Patrick Division: NJ, NYI, NYR, PHI, PIT, WAS, CAR

Adams Division: BOS, OTT, MTL, QUE, TOR, BUF, FLA, TB

Norris Division: DET, CHI, STL, NSH, MIN, WPG, CBJ

Smythe Division: SJ, ANA, LA, COL, VAN, EDM, CGY, DAL

I hope Notre Dame abandons this ACC folly...

"I want Notre Dame to play by the same rules as everyone else!"

Like playing 1-AA teams and teams from the Sun Belt, MAC, etc...

Notre Dame always puts one of the toughest schedules together, and the reason they've struggled so much is because they don't play cupcakes or weak in-conference opponents. Every week for the Irish is a test.

I don't get the hate for a program that does it right...

Good move for Notre Dame football... Keeps the schedule full without having to resort playing lesser conferences or FCS schools, and still allows enough space for their traditional matchups. PLUS, gives them a foothold in the southern recruiting market.

Overall, this is the best option for ND.

Barclays Center owner hopeful of more hockey

Only in his mind will that arena host hockey.

I think you're underestimating just how awful Nassau Coliseum is...

Lowest capacity in the league an questionable-at-best sightlines is an improvement of truly astronomical proportions...

Monday, during an eight-hour budget session, the Glendale City Council voted to budget another payout for next season.

During the same meeting, the Council also voted to raise property taxes and the sales tax. Council members said the Coyotes fund is not directly related to the tax hike, but another city official called it a "contributing factor."

Hmm, complete 180, the saga continues

I reiterate...

Businesses? Doing all they can to turn a profit? SHOCK!

Still like Nashville, and the sleazy lawyer crap didn't put people in the seats. The hockey did.

Glendale was short $5 million, right?

Considering that they aren't paying the players in the playoffs, and that they're playing a team that's got a lot of road fans.....the NHL can milk this series to go the full 7 games, let Phoenix win, then have Phoenix be able to host at least two more home games in the West semis.....

...that's how you can generate $5 million to cover what Glendale can't come up with.

I was in Quebec yesterday, reading the local newspaper. Apparently there's a hunting and fishing expo going on this weekend. They're having the typical door crashers and raffle. One of the prizes is a pair of Season Tickets for the Quebec Nordiques. It's like Hamilton all over again.

How do you say "Make it Eight" en francais?

Le Make it Eight

Lovin' it...

My favorite feature of Citizens Bank Park is the 360 concourse with full view of the action from anywhere. I never even thought about something like that being built into an indoor arena like that. That's f'ing fantastic

The Rock is built like that... Open concourse with a direct view of the ice from anywhere...

I buy knockoffs, but i make sure the quality is at least decent, and i NEVER buy over the internet.

NEVER buy over the internet.

Well, when it comes to TCR and RedSox, thought isn't a HUGE concern...

I remember people talking about how NVMC was falling apart, decrepit, and in need to be replaced back when they were in the Wales Conference Finals against Montreal...

...that was 20 seasons ago
