Slam_Bradley , if you haven’t read them, try “The Horse God Built” by Lawrence Scanlan and “My Turf” by the great William Nack, who knew both boxing and horse racing. I've got Nack's book about Secretariat, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. I'll look for the other two.

Wow:
I just can’t be enthusiastic about the XFL, given I’m not sure it’ll be around forever.

Wow: I just can’t be enthusiastic about the XFL, given I’m not sure it’ll be around forever. What's the idea behind it - to have some American football during the time of year when there's no NFL? Or is it something else, different rules or something?

He wanted a more extreme, entertainment-based form of football. Vince doesn’t want to only be a wrestling promoter, he wants to conquer everything else - yet it all fails, from the WBF (World Bodybuilding Federation) to so much else. I believe you’ll learn all you need to know if you read this link: en.as.com/nfl/nfl-vs-xfl-what-rules-are-different-n

It's weird that two different professional sports teams named the Browns moved to Baltimore.

Prince HalI think it's more likely the Coyotes use Hartford as a bargaining chip to leverage a deal elsewhere (Arizona or somewhere else), but I would love to see it. -M

Look like it hit him above or just outside his right eye.

@mrp , not posting the photo from the NY Post, but the cut itself looks not quite as bad as it might have been. But who knows if internal damage might have been done.

If it's a cut and some bruising, he might miss a start or two. If there's facial fractures, he'll be out a while, especially if its tot eh orbital of the eye socket. He can't risk getting hit again until they heal. So it's going to be a wait and see thing. They should know more after they get x-rays and any other tests needed done tonight. -M
