On this date in WCW history: The Giant falls off the roof of the Cobo Arena and into the Detroit River
And not only does he live to tell about it, he comes back (completely dry) to defeat Hulk Hogan for the world title just minutes later in the main event of WCW's Halloween Havoc. Why was The Giant on the roof of the Cobo Arena? Because he was having a sumo monster truck match against the Hulkster,...
Bits & Some speculation on the future of John Tavares
The defeat of the arena referendum is going to sting for a while...there is no doubt about that. Throughout this week, we've seen some political/economic posturing from municipalities including Brooklyn, Queens and Suffolk (all of which are technically still a part of Long Island by the way) that...
Bits: Renderings and Electioneering
[Updated with more of the same on the arena at 07/31/11 3:02 PM EDT ] The rendering; she's a lovely beast isn't she Nassau? It looks like it's us against the world folks. If we come, they may build it. Strangely enough, there continues to be opposition in the form of semi-local sports writers who...
Nassau Coliseum Referendum: Nothing changes, if nothing changes
One of my all-time favorite quotes is from an everyday regular guy I grew up with. It's simplistic in its Yogism and complex in its philosophical underpinnings: "Nothing changes if nothing changes." I'm not going to tell you how to vote Aug. 1. I don't know what's best for you...most of the time...

Strome's Blue team lost the actual game 6-5 after a late rally came up...

Bits: Wheeling, Dealing and Drafting
It's here! IT'S HERE!!!11 Draft day has finally arrived and Islander country is excited! Another piece to the puzzle, tool for the toolbox and hopefully another bit of magic worked by Garth Snow and staff for us to ponder and explore for the next couple of seasons. Many feel the Isles are on...
Bits: Lot's O' Stuff on a Sunday Morn
Another instant classic for the Canucks and Bruins and another "fell asleep during the 3rd period due to excessive yardwork" for me. I'm beginning to feel like former Yankee's broadcaster Phil Rizzuto...I'll have to give myself a "WW" in my scorecard for this one (wasn't watching). [SCOC Recap] ...
Bits: The Conference Finals Begin (And Links)
The Eastern Conference finals began last night with the Bruins being drubbed by the Lightning who came out of the gate with furious anger. The game was essentially over mid-way through the first period as Sean Bergenheim kicked off a 3 goal in 85 second barrage that dug the Bruins a significant...
