Write your reply.

assistant: I am not really a Bruins fan but I so sick of Harry Sinden's cheapiness.
Someone should tell the guy that this is the 90's and if you want your
team to attract more people in the stands, you should have put good
players in your lineups not some bums who are willing to play for
peanuts. I am not saying I am in favor of high salaries, it's just
that's what it is right now. How many good players will the Bruins lose
before the Bruin's owner decided to get rid of his tight wad Sinden.
In answer for your comments re: trading him, unless he will get the same
impact player Quebec Nordiques got for Lindros trade, he should, but i
doubt that will happen. I'll say "just sign the guy" and let the Bruins
fan get some life again. Remember their only superstar Ray Bourque is
aging and will be retiring in a few years.
Get rid of Sinden and sign Thornton.

but if Malone hadn't had that owee on his hand then Utah woulda kicked some
major red bulls butt.  So guess what.  I am totally thinkin that the Sonics

coulda gotten out of his little funk to kick Jordan's butt too.

assistant: Niki accepted an invitation to the Tidy Bowl by saying:
Puhleeze. If you DID watch that series, you'd have seen Malone (owee or not)
do a major disappearing act in the 4th quarter. If Malone's *owee* was so
harmful then imagine how much better Chicago would have been if Pippen hadn't
been hurt. Give the Bulls credit, they WON that series.
I think that Seattle, IF they have any intentions of winning a title, might
have to lop off Kemp. He allowed his unhappiness with his salary to affect
his play (Scottie Pippen's been unhappy with his pay as well but it hasn't
affected his performance) and if he's going to do it once, he's going to do
it again. A team can't win the championship when its players aren't focusing
on the goal.
Come on, get off this rag trip. What kind of name is Sonics (or Supersonics)
for a b-ball team? The Nuggets (or Rockets as they were originally known)
have been around as long as the Sonics AND there used to be a team that
played in 1949 called the Denver Nuggets, so the name goes back a lot further
than Sonics (or Supersonics).

assistant: *** Quoting Niki Sanders from a message to All ***
First off I totally agree with you on the basketball thing.  I used to like
the bulls but now they are just too cocky and too...ugh.  I hate them. I just
wanted to see them lose for once.
I like seattle (good music comes from there) and of course for one of the
best teams in MLB, the mariners.  Of course everybody's keeping their eye on
junior so i kinda want him to breaka a few records this year.
(joey cora is cool...have you seen that guy's biceps??? yeow!)
Anyways seeing as I am from Toronto I kinda gotta root for my home teams
here...and they are a plenty (unfortunately none are too good)  Jays kinda
suck, leaf suck royal, the raptors have hope, and the argos...are in the CFL.
Anyways..where you at exactly?
see ya!
