Thanks Mats

Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae.

Two simple words that are on the lips of almost every member of Leaf Nation - be it heartfelt or full of sarcasm, everyone is saying Thanks Mats after news broke that the Leafs former Captain had agreed to a one year deal with the Vancouver Canucks.

Many in the media have been critical of Sundin's decision to join an NHL 30+ games into the season, when his reason for refusing to be traded last year was because he didn't want to be a "rental player". Sundin has been accused of many things in his career - selfish was never one of them. To call a guy that gave his heart to an organization "selfish" because he didn't want to give up on his team and bail on them is inexcusable.

Thank you Mats, good luck in Vancouver and we'll see you back in Leaf Nation next summer.

Leafs slap Crosby and the Pens around last night - good.

Cowboys lose to the Ravens - I want to puke in my mouth right now.


SUNDAY THREE PLAY
Tough week last week - total stands are + $800 (or so). The winning starts early this afternoon.

Cincinnati +2.5 over CLEVELAND - no way the Browns should be favoured today, the Bengals have been playing better of late...just ask the Redskins. Lay $100 on the Bengals plus the points.

San Diego +3.5 over TAMPA BAY - ya, the Chargers don't travel well when they head east, but with their season on the line AND Brian Griese in charge of the Bucs offense - Chargers keep this one close...actually, I think they pull off the upset. Lay $100 on the Chargers.

Leaving it at two games for this afternoon - page will be update throughout afternoon with picks. Thanks for taking the time to check in - good luck if you play them.

Hazel, here's hoping things are groovy in your world - enjoy your NFL Sunday.

I'm Out!
