Seeing the original at the HHOF is really cool, and I like that you can go there and see it any time, even while the “real/current” cup is somewhere in Nova Scotia with Crosby family or in Maple Wood, Minnesota with the Guentzel’s. A lot of great traditions in hockey around winning the Cup and the Cup itself. I always Read more

I got to see the cup up close at one of those “meet and greet” type things. I too was bummed when I realized they pulled the older rings. I really wanted to see the engraving from some of the earliest winners.

But, it’s still pretty imposing to see a 3 foot tall silver trophy. It damn impressive. Read more

I was happier before I read this article. I hadn’t put much (or any) thought into it, but I thought everyone’s name was on the cup somewhere. Read more

Out of curiosity, I went to youtube and searched for “Mark of the Year” highlights and saw many incredible catches made by flying into the air via your opponent or teammate. A lot of knees to the head and other bruising forms of contact but oddly, no one got kicked in the nuts. WTF? --Draymond Green

Realistically, the NCAA DI Outdoor championships are going to put more talent on display than any other meet in the world barring the Olympics/World Championships, and you could make a decent argument more outright world class athleticism will be on display across the board than almost any other major NCAA Read more

Similar story, not personally meeting: As an old-school game-show fan, I will occasionally dabble onto the BUZZR channel in the digital channels. Read more

As a track guy I just want to point out that the NCAA track and field semis and finals will have on a percentage basis as many world-class athletes as any NCAA championship game, meet, or match will have. Read more

Reminds me of the Boulevard in Myrtle Beach. Or what it used to be. Was down there a few weeks ago and it’s a sad ghost of what it used to be (which, admittedly, wasn’t much to begin with). Still, there are plenty of these t-shirt shops around. Hell, even the coffee shop I went to had t-shirts that were plays on the Read more
