Craig Conroy Ice Hockey Player

Craig Conroy (born September 4, 1971) is an American former professional ice hockey player and currently the special assistant to the general manager of the Calgary Flames. A sixth round selection of the Montreal Canadiens at the 1990 National Hockey League (NHL) Entry Draft, Conroy played 1,009 NHL games for the Canadiens, St. Louis Blues, Calgary Flames and Los Angeles Kings during a professional career that spanned from 1994 to 2011. Internationally, he twice played with the United States National Team – at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey and the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Developed as a defensive specialist through much of his career, Conroy was twice a finalist for the Selke Trophy as the league's top defensive forward and was nominated for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy as its most gentlemanly player. He played over 1,000 games in the NHL and was the second oldest player in league history to reach that milestone. Conroy, who enjoyed his greatest offensive seasons with the Flames, is a former captain of the team and was twice honored by the organization for his leadership, dedication and humanitarian efforts.
I would like to see the instigator rule thrown out. There probably would be more fights, but I don't think you would have as many of the hits from behind, the liberties on your superstars. A lot has been made of Crosby getting hit this year. You have to protect those guys. Right now, the tough guys can't protect the stars. I'd like to see what would happen without the instigator rule; who knows, I may have to fight a few more times. But after Iginla beat me up in St. Louis, I said, "I'm done w


Craig Conroy was drafted 123rd overall in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens after a solid four year career at Clarkson University of the NCAA. He was traded to the St. Louis Blues in 1996, where he finished four seasons without having a negative plus/minus rating, and was traded to the Calgary Flames for Cory Stillman in 2001. Conroy was captain of the Flames until the beginning of the 2003-04 NHL season, when he gave up the captaincy to Jarome Iginla. Conroy became an assistant captain. In July 2004, he signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Kings. After not making the American team for the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, he was named to Team USA for the 2006 Winter Olympics. He was also a member of Team USA for the 2004 World Cup of Hockey. Conroy was traded back to the Calgary Flames by the Kings in January of 2007. He is a personality player that has the ability to take charge of a game and put up good numbers. Conroy is solid in all zones and is a great leader, almost as famous for his mouth as he is for his talent.

The mere mentioning of his name is going to cause a reaction. And that reaction is always a mixed one. In arena’s around the World there are almost always as many boo’s as there are cheers. So why don’t the powers that be, finally let Cena go all the way and turn Heel?

Cena the good guy.

Early in his WWE career, Cena used the rapper gimmick. He was being used as a Heel at the time, but that quickly faded away, as his freestyle raps to cut up his opponents were a big hit. This was about the only time I can think of, when John was totally over with the crowd. Then in 2005 he won his first World Championship from JBL at Wrestlemania 21. It is about this time that the fans first started to turn on him. Over time, Cena’s character morphed into a bit of a military style patriot, and eventually to what we see today. Yet he just can’t shake that mixed crowd reaction. The announcers say that he is a “controversial” Champion, but clearly there is nothing controversial about him. Cena has a squeaky clean image, that attracts lots of young viewers, and sells tons of merchandise. He also does charity work, and is one of, if not THE most requested star for the Make A Wish Foundation. And it is for these reasons that he has not made the turn that so many people are hoping for. Why would WWE risk losing all those potential dollars, just to please the half of the fans that don’t seem to like him. Many have stated that just about every star in the business has done turns as both a Heel and a Face. But even Hulk Hogan waited until much later in his career, and that was over in WCW.

John Cena 2011 Red

WWE Monday Night Raw started off with a bang and a huge shock. Team Smackdown won a battle royal for rights to the first pick of the 2011 WWE Draft. ~ John Cena was selected to Smackdown. ~ Cena was headed to Smackdown for the first time since he came over to Raw during the 2005 Draft. ~ However, his stay would be short lived, as he wasn't even a member of Smackdown long enough to get a cup of coffee. ~ At the end of the show, Cena was selected back to Raw. ~ It seemed pretty pointless to do this, and felt like a waste to a good Raw. ~ What does Cena have left to prove on WWE's top brand? Why not head over to Smackdown? At the end of the day, what was the point in making the double switch? ~ A few of my picks were correct, Randy Orton and Sin Cara will be headed to Smackdown. ~ As far as Raw goes, I was surprised to see both Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio dawn the red and come to Monday nights. ~ Mark Henry, in another apparent heel turn, has been drafted to Smackdown

They recapped Orton punting Harris. Cole was in full on heel mode, talking about how awful this was, and how Orton was a coward. Randy said things were just getting started for Punk and Nexus. Out came Punk, who was very hated. He said he agreed with Orton for once. Or “Randall” as he called him. He said things weren’t over between them. He said the truth would set Orton free, and revealed why it was that Punk screwed Orton at the Royal Rumble.

They played the angle from Unforgiven 2008, where Orton (along with Legacy) attacked Punk (who was World Champ at the time) and laid him out with the punt. Punk later vacated the title, as the punt meant he was unable to defend it in a match. MY GOD. CONTINUITY IN MY WWE!? This made sense, and was a very nice touch for the program. Punk said he never forgot. He said he was right, and Orton was wrong. “Indefensible” he said. That’s kinda true, but the people will never boo Orton for punting people. Punk said he wasn’t waiting til Elimination Chamber.

Clinton Portis Us Player

The most important injury story of week 11 in the fantasy football season centers around one of the top candidates for Fantasy MVP thus far into the season: Clinton Portis of the Washington Redskins.

Portis has been hampered by a knee injury that has been classified as a second-degree MCL sprain. He has reportedly had trouble straightening his leg according to NFL.com, and head coach Jim Zorn says that Clinton Portis is iffy for this weekend’s game and that Ladell Betts has a better chance of getting the start.

This sounds like one of those that you will want to keep your eye on throughout the week. If Ladell Betts is available and you own Portis, you should definitely snatch him if you haven’t already. Either way, if you are a Clinton Portis owner, you want to have a backup plan in mind for your superstar in case he cannot go.

For updates on Clinton Portis, as well as news and notes regarding other injured running backs like Willie Parker and Cadillac Williams, head over to the Fantasy Sports Blog.
These rookies obviously have the most upfront value. Next, do they (rookies) have “upside”? This is a term used to describe a players potential. There are always “no-brainers”. Whether they pan out or not is a different story. Rookies have their place on your fantasy roster and are usually worth a late round selection. Here are a list of Rookies that may be this years’ Adrian Peterson.

Clinton Portis did not practice Friday, and the Washington Redskins listed the running back as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions. Coach Jim Zorn, however, said Portis will play.

“His ankles have been sore,” Zorn said. “We’ve got many [other backs] to choose from, but I expect Clinton to be out there ripping around.”

Portis, who has started every game since he finished the 2006 season on injured reserve with a broken hand, declined to comment. Zorn said Portis has been suffering from bone spurs in both ankles – a difficulty the coach had not revealed this season.

“It’s been happening, not all preseason, but he’s got a couple little spurs that are irritating,” Zorn said. “No swelling. It’s just hard for him. He needs to rest them.”


Draft day is here and you have the first pick. What do you do? Well, if you are like every other fantasy nerd you might be yelling L.T. before I am done with this sentence. Or Maybe Adrian Peterson? I am going to make a case for NEITHER.

That’s right!! I am suggesting you go a different route. There is only one choice if you look at the pick with the highest value. No other player last year was within 100 points of this individual, no matter your leagues scoring system. Do you have a guess? It is no secret, that’s right……this guy!!

Tom Brady should be your #1 pick. In 2007, he threw for 4800 yds. and 50 TD’s while only throwing 8 ints. Those are numbers L.T. or Adrian Peterson will never come close to getting you. So even if he has a average year, Brady will again lead your league in fantasy point production. Is that not what you want from the #1 pick???

Let me know what you think. Who would you take if you had the #1 pick in your fantasy draft?
If anyone hasn’t noticed, (then where the hell have you been?) Adrian Peterson, is “predicted” to be a fantasy sure thing this season. Just last year he was just an NFL rookie and probably wasn’t drafted until the later rounds in most leagues. So what value do we place on rookies? For starters, what are the teams needs? Do they need a RB/WR/QB, etc. to start right away?

Chris Evert Player

Saturday’s uneven and un-inspirational FA Cup performance versus Stoke confirms many of the fears supporters had about playing without either Carlos Tevez or Craig Bellamy. Both will be unavailable for tomorrow’s league clash with the same Potters, but cup tied Adam Johnson will be available.

Without Johnson in the lineup, City struggled for attacking link up play behind the strikers, and Stephan Ireland’s run of poor form continued despite his mouthing off about Mark Hughes during the week.





Roberto Mancini is now learning first hand about the grind of English football and fixture congestion. Often times his Inter Milan teams began to fade down the stretch of the Serie A campaign, sometimes allowing its title rivals to sense a collapse. While Mancini’s 2007 and 2008 Inter teams did win the Serie A title, their were wobbly stretches of football in February and March.

City’s recent FA Cup History has seldom if ever seen such a poor later round performance at Eastlands. While disastrous cup ties have taken place in the early rounds of both the FA and League Cups (most recently City’s embarrassing performance under Hughes versus Nottingham Forest last year), most poor Cup efforts such as the 2007 Quarterfinal rout at the hands of Blackburn have come away from home.
