the veteran has shown hisclass at Juventusthisseason and earned a place in the squad it would be foolish to count him off.The French have been a team that is under some rebuilding state. “That’s something I think we’ll be doing a lot more of.”Bruce is receiving his share of media attention, but how many actually know his story?This historic success may not last, but it sure is fun for now.. After four games, I find myself kinda bored.Sure, it was the Stanley Cup Final the league fantasized about It was the matchup fans were excited to see. It was the series the broadcasters desperately wanted with the exception of, perhaps, the CBC which has seen a drop in ratings in Canada.Still, you had Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin the future of the NHL squaring off against thewily veterans like Nicklas Lidstrom and theiron-man Chris Chelios. What's not to love?It's a hard question to answer but I find there's just something missing and it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a Montreal Canadiens fan.

I like both of these teams, I really do.  I think the problem, though, is the Penguins.They were the anointed, the team to pull the NHL out of the doldrums it fell into in the days following the return from the strike. It seems they lost the passion, or the drive or whatever you want to call it. The bottom line: the Penguins just aren't living up to the hype.Detroit, on the other hand, is and kudos to them. The only other team to win the final three to snatch the Cup from the jaws of defeat is the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs.So, if the series comes to end after five games, I won't be disappointed.  If the Red Wings hoist the Stanley Cup and flood their eyes and stomachs with champagne, it's well-deserved.I may, however, see what else is on.. The Lakers triangle offense is finally back to the form that the fans have been waiting for. Kobe and Pau have been dominating the entire playoffs.  There isn't any stopping the Lakers any time soon...all i got to say is it's gonna be one heck of a NBA Finals.And one more thing, the Lakers are gonna win in seven games.. After seeing Cleveland-Browns-Are-the-NFL-s-Best-Franchise--010608">this article on the NFL page here at Bleacher Report, it was almost too easy for me to refute that argument. Sorry, Jim, but let’s go over the five even simpler reasons why the Cleve Brownies are the NFL’s worst franchise. 1.

Lack of a Super Bowl AppearanceLet’s not even discuss the Browns winning a Super Bowl They would have to get there first. The “Mistake by the Lake” joins Detroit, NewOrleans, and Houston as the only cities that had a team for Super Bowl I but still have not reached the big game. It’s hard for a fan of a team who hasn’t won the Super Bowl to argue the “best franchise” tag, but the Browns haven’t even been there to lose it. 2. The Drive and the FumbleWant a couple of reasons why the Browns haven’t been there to have the chance to lose? January 1987: 98 yards and a trip to the Super Bowl on the line Enter John Elway Broncos 23, Browns 20. Forever known as: The Drive. January 1988: Three yards away from the end zone and a trip to the Super Bowl on the line Enter Ernest Byner Broncos 38, Browns 33.

Forever known as: The Fumble. The Browns made it a three-peat with another AFC Championship loss to the Broncos two seasons later. 3. Team MovedI’m sorry, but no team can claim to be the greatest franchise in a league when the original team isn’t even there. And how fitting is it that team moves to Baltimore and promptly win a Super Bowl? Sure, you have the Browns’ back, but is that really something you should be excited about? 4. UniformsThe Browns’ uniforms are plain, ugly, and really don’t even make any sense The helmet needs to be renovated First, please find a logo for it. Then again, a logo-less helmet would make sense if the team’s helmets were brown Instead, they’re orange. Maybe the organization should change its name to the Cleveland Citrus. And I’m glad the Browns have introduced an orange alternate jersey to match the nonsensical helmet.
