It's probably unfair to limit the number to 3, but give it a try. Name the top 3 all time best players, in your opinion, to ever wear the pinstripes for long enuf to make an impact w/ the team. Mine would be: Babe Ruth Lou Gehrig Joe DiMaggio (I'd probably put Mantle in as tied w/...

Give me your opinion of who the top 3 best players to ever don the Indians uniform long enough to make an impact w/ the team. Mine would be: Bob Feller Bob Lemon Early Wynn

Alright Reds fans (or in IE's case, Stoney), give your top 3 all time Reds. Not your favorite but who you think the top 3 players of all time to wear a Cincy uni were. Mine would be: Johnny Bench Pete Rose Frank Robinson

Alright Tiger fans (or just baseball fans in general, like me). Give me your top 3 all time Tigers. Mine would be: Ty Cobb Hank Greenberg Al Kaline Before I forget, NOT your top 3 favorite Tigers but the 3 best players to wear a Tiger uniform long enuf to make an impact on...

Call me bored b/c there's no ND football to discuss, but I thought this would be better than nothing so here goes: For you Cubbie fans, give me your top 3 all-time players (not your favorite, but the best players in your opinion). I'm no Cub fan, but my top 3 would be: Ernie Banks...

Guys & Gals of Irish Envy, On a serious note, I would like to ask for your thoughts & prayers to include my mother tomorrow as she will be undergoing double bypass surgery in the morning. Although, bypasses are commonplace nowadays, there is always a risk & she is not in the best physical...

Joey T. was discussing Brady Quinn on Mike & Mike in the Morning earlier this week when he pointed out his one criticism of Quinn. He started criticizing his appearance. He noted that Quinn was chewing gum, that it looked like it was the 1st time he'd try to tie a tie & that his hair looked...

I heard some interesting facts today about our neighbors to the south, Mexico. If an American immigrates to Mexico they are not allowed to vote or receive retirement benefits (whatever their SS is called) even though they still must pay into their system. Also, they are REQUIRED to learn...

The stories continue to swirl as to who will be the prized #1 pick this Saturday. In the meantime, some of these players are coming w/ some excess baggage: Adrian Peterson reportedly needs surgery on his collarbone after re-injuring it in their bowl game. Marshawn Lynch has been accused...

Where you at BoSox fans? I can't believe nobody has brought the subject of the day up yet. According to Orioles (& sometimes ESPN) announcer, Gary Thorne, Curt Schilling painted his sock red to appear bloody in the '04 WS for PR purposes. He cited catcher, Doug Mirabelli, as the source. I...

I was thumbing thru the ESPN draft guide at a bookstore & read a suprising opinion by Todd McShay. It had Mel Kiper's 1st round mock draft & then McShay added any changes that he disagreed with. He didn't make many, but did believe that Cleveland would be nuts not to take Brady Quinn over...

Just an FYI, 2007 gameday tees for every ND game are now available on www.und.com.

John Clayton reported on ESPN that Trent Green is rumored to be traded & the Raiders & Dolphins are both interested. Should the Dolphins lose out on Green, Clayton suggested that they may trade up from #9 to snag Quinn. The Raiders are a true wild card as there are many a scenario that they...

Did anyone check out Mike Coffey's blog on NDNation? He reports that 2nd yr. Badger coach, Bret Bielema, is still pissed off that Wisconsin didn't get a BCS bid. And who do you think he blames for this travesty of justice? Notre Dame. Did he blame the fact that his conference agreed w/ the...

It's safe to say that, as Irish fans, Lou Holtz is one of our favorite coaches, but t's hard to ignore the fact that he's left most of his former schools (ND incl) under controversey as to whether he was forced out, quit, fired or retired. Don't know about NC State, but w/ Arkansas, Minnesota...

Looking over this year's schedule, I started considering each school's football tradition. Granted, most of the schools have a long history, but thought it would be interesting to name which player/coach instantly (or eventually) comes to mind when you hear that team's name. For example, when...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dianne_FeinsteinDid anyone hear why California senator, Dianne Feinstein, resigned from the Military Construction Appropriations committee (MILCON)? Of course not. WHy? Because the mainstream media is mostly liberal & anti-war. Were this Dick Cheney or any other...

If you need to purge the contents of your stomach, I suggest that you log on to petecarroll.com. Not that any Irish fan would be suprised, but the Poodle will never be accused of being modest nor humble. :puke:

I thought I'd shift the topic of discussion from the 1st round loss to see who everyone's favorite ND b'ball player is. I think I'm torn between David Rivers & Troy Murphy. Hopefully, there'll be another upset to shift the focus from ND's loss. Damn, 1st the Sugar Bowl embarrasment & then a...

Alright, it all starts tomorrow. Have you all been making sure that you're boss & co-worker(s) notice that you're not feeling so well? That way when you call in sick tomorrow, you'll be believable! I was curious how you are all going to break away from work or school to watch the games. Will...
