I have yet to hear a single person - analyst or otherwise - suggest the Dallas Cowboys (+9) have even a hope of even being in the game Sunday. When that happens, almost invariably the masses are in for a shocker. You've all been served notice...four years of Daniel Alfreddson for $21.6 million seems like a pretty fair deal on its own, but the Sens have a lot of money tied up in him, Jason Spezza and Dany Heatley, leaving scant room for other areas of need in the coming years like, you know, a second or third liner perhaps, a defenceman or mayhaps a goalie who can play the position well...Washington Capital Alexander Semin had this to say about NHL golden boy Sidney Crosby: "what's so special about [Crosby]? I don't see anything special there. Yes, he does skate well, has a good head, good pass. But there's nothing else." Very interesting stuff...even Don Matthews, widely regarded as the best coach in Canadian Football League history, couldn't conjure this Toronto Argos squad into a win. Wisely, he jumped ship and went back into retirement...word is AJ Burnett will declare his free agency no later than Monday, and his agent was saying as far back as a year from now that if Burnett was healthy this year, he would definitely be opting out, or so says Keith Law in talking to Prime Time Sports...who would you trust to walk a mile and not get hurt: Greg Oden, or Alex Zanardi?...surprise of the early season Hull City host Manchester United in what should be a great day of English Premier League matches. First place - for now - Liverpool travel to London to face Tottenham...recall Shaquille O'Neal complaining a few weeks back about the San Antonio Spurs employing the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy in the playoffs last season? Well, guess what the Spurs did to Shaq all of five seconds in to their season opener a couple nights back? Yep, they hacked him again. And the reactions of Shaq and Spurs coach Greg Popovich were priceless...after two spectacular games and two wins for the Toronto Raptors, Chris Bosh is looking like he might be ready for the next level: super stardom...have a great Saturday.

Oh, there's plenty of special when it comes to Crosby...

Chris Bosh was 5th on the MVP list after the first game. I have a feeling we'll see his name on that list a lot this year.
AFAIC, Chris Bosh should be no lower than 4th on that list right now. He's owning games right now and bringing his teammates alongside him. Fools are still calling him out for not being clutch enough or what have you, but Chris Bosh is the best big man in the league right now for playing so well on both ends of the floor.
It's amazing: the Raptors have played two games, and the only story worth telling in both of them is "We have Chris Bosh, and you don't - so we win."
Agreed, another game like the two first ones and I expect him to be 3rd or 4th next week.
Last game you might add a few anecdotes about Bargnani and Parker as well.
Welcome to Premier League Hull... Impressed by the fight the Tigers put up, but lucky they didn't end up with 7 or 8 goals against. Rarely seen such an offensive force as Man U today.
Hard not to appreciate what Hull are doing this year in the EPL - they're utterly fearless against the biggest teams and play to win. Gotta like that.
Man U could've had at least three more, but a totally entertaining game to watch.
Wouldn't mind seeing them finish 5th in the league this year, as long as Villa finish 4th, knocking Arsenal down to 6th :P
Gonna take a guess it might have something to do with John Carew?
Carew is my favourite Norwegian player, true, but Villa has been my team before he moved there. For me him going there was a match made in heaven. Even more happy now when Carew finally is starting to show the league how good and important for the team he really is.
