    • Yeah I notice no threads on Apolyton for it at all. Nobody here likes basketball?

      Asher, I'll admit basketball is questionable as a spectator sport but you got to admit it's probably the most popular sport to play for fun.

      • It's a sport for pussies.

        The only tough basketball player is a Canadian, Steve Nash. When he played with the broken nose (or whatever), his coach made a crack about Hockey Night in Canada in the locker room.

          The Chicago contingent always turns it into a Bulls thread.

          He was even trying to get it back into place before taking his free throws.

            Hawks fans are the smartest because they put two people in the top 3, as opposed to only 0 for Flames fans.

            I was originally going to say Oilers fans, but I've changed my mind.
            Actually Flames fans are 1 of the top 3 and 3 of the top 6.

            Congrats Flubber!

                      and I guess Ming is a Flyers fan and you are pro-abortion too




                      The sad thing Ben is "Flubber as an OIlers fan" is about as true/accurate as most of your assertions

                        Garth I confess I did not know you are a Flames fan either

                        OH well-- we could be in for another tough year. management is saying they plan to pretty much stay the course as they expect the team they ended the seaon with, to play better. Its possible I guess since there were a few folks that were disappointing and simply avoiding that crushing slump wopuld have been enough to sneak into the playoffs.

                        But GV -- haven't you heard?? I'm an Oilers fan

                          Thank you -- and thanks for running the pool--

                          I do have a question. While it didn't come into play for me, you mention tiebreaks etc . What is the tiebreak method in a pool like this? Its probably posted in the thread somewhere or commonly known but I confess I wouldn't know what it would be

                          • I go by the seat of my pants, as I have to recall each year.

                            I used correct prediction for SC winner pre 1st round; most correct conference champions pre 1st round; most exact results of series winner and number of games; most series winners... in that order. I didn't have to use whoever I like best as a final resolution.

                              Makes sense

                                Stanley Cup Ratings Best Since 1974

                                First Posted: 06-10-10

                                The Chicago Blackhawks won game 6 of their Stanley Cup Finals series Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. And the nail-biting overtime win not only gave Chicago its first hockey championship since 1961, it gave NBC the best overnight ratings for any Stanley Cup Final since the Flyers beat the Boston Bruins in 1974.

                                Even with ice hockey having its hottest night in 36 years, Fox still won the night in key adult demos, thanks to the performance of a two-hour "So You Think You Can Dance."

                                Here's a look at Wednesday night's ratings highlights:

                                The Cup Is Up: Game 6 registered a 5.8 rating/12 share, up 41 percent from the 4.1/7 overnight for game 6 of last year's Cup. Ratings peaked at 8.1/14 during the final 15 minutes of the game. The ratings spike likely was provoked by the presence of the Blackhawks, a large-market team with a dedicated fan base who suffered through nearly 50 years without a championship. In the Windy City, the game scored a 32.8/50 rating.
