| Question 1: Will the NHL’s now annual outdoor hockey game help the league bring in more fans in the future? | |||
| This is honestly the coolest thing the NHL has ever done. But one novelty game a year isn’t going to save a sport most people in America only watch for the fights. | Yes, I think it will because outdoor events all over the country bring a new type of atmosphere when hockey games are played in untraditional stadiums that host the event. | Depends when and where the league holds it. Being born and raised in Florida, I wouldn’t sit outside that long in the cold. | The only way hockey will bring in more fans is if Vincent Lecavalier, ”the Michael Jordan of Hockey,” plays on every NHL team. |
| Question 2: Is Donavan McNabb’s passing the reason the Philadelphia Eagles were able to turn around their season, or is it just a stroke of luck? | |||
| It wasn’t so much McNabb as it was the rest of the NFC wild card contenders choking. The Buccaneers were actually a better team, but when you lose to the Raiders, you don’t deserve a playoff berth. | Luck; Donavan has become another overpaid parasite to the Eagles. Everyone knows it’s defense that wins games in the end. | Depends what he was passing. Certain “passes” are successful if directed at the enemy, if you know what I mean. | McNabb was definatly smacked with a talent stick this year and has stepped up for the Eagles. I dont think they will take advantage of being in the playoffs though. |
| Question 3: The University of Florida and the University of Oklahoma will face each other in this year’s BCS National Championship; which team do you think will win? | |||
| I think the Gators will win but I’m rooting for the Orange Bowl to somehow implode and take the fans of both teams with it in a grand rapturous finale. It’s great to be a Gator hater… | I am a Florida guy, so I will have to say the Gators. If Percy Harvin can come back and contribute for this game, they are almost a lock for their second championship in three years. |
The University of Florida. They would never admit my SAT score, and I don’t even know where Oklahoma is. | Im neither a Florida or an Oklahoma fan, but if I had to choose: Go Oklahoma. |
| Question 4: Tim Tebow seems to be one of the stongest, fastest and most versatile players in college football. With no apparent flaws, is Tebow superhuman? |
|||
| No apparent flaws? He has a slow release and all his passes are high and wobbly. | Yes, he’s an ideal mini version of Adrian Peterson, Tom Brady, and a smaller Brian Urlacher molded into one. And when he is ready for the draft, he will become the first draft pick: no, because he is that good. | Yes. | Tebow is always a sight to see on the field, but superhuman is going too far. |
