:thumbs_up to the Hall of Fame career of Steve Yzerman, one of the greatest and most respected players in the history of hockey. 6th on the all-time scoring list, this career Detroit Red Wing captained 3 Stanley Cup champions and was a member of the Canadian Olympic gold medal winning team in 2002. For all his personal accomplishments, he will always be known for his humility and is a Canadian treasure.
:thumbs_do to Evander Holyfield for fighting again. I believe once you have started to lose your power of speech, it is time to stop boxing.
:thumbs_do to the Hockey Hall of Fame for having the weakest standards of any HOF. Dick Duff was a good player and seems like a hell of a nice guy but this is a clear case of crony-ism. A bunch of old boys elected their buddy. Herb Brooks had his big moment but not a HOF career. He was inducted out of sentimentality. A couple years ago Clark Gillies was the good but ultimately undeserving player being enshrined. It happens too often. A Hall of Fame should not be about niceness; it should be about high standards.
:thumbs_do to people second-guessing penalty kicks as a way to break ties in the World Cup without offering a better solution. I have a distaste for second-guessing in general and besides, I really enjoy the PK's.
