How will San Diego do in the playoffs

There is no doubt about it this team has under achieved. Maybe it's because of last years expectations. 14-2 will do that. So these guys had a terrible start to the year but lately have turned things around.

Not only did they win their division but they got a home playoff game against some good opponents. They have beat some good teams this year like the Colts but it was a fluke. BUT a win is a win and it doesn't matter how.

So here's the question...HOW WILL SAN DIEGO do in the NFL Playoffs?

I know they aren't New England but on any given Sunday anything can happen.

In the 1st round they will be playing either the Jaguars, Titans or least likely the Browns. If they win that game then we are going they will face either the Colts or the Patriots.

Speak it out as these teams battle it out for the AFC Championship and go to the Super bowl in Arizona.

How long will Luongo be a Canuck?

What kind of question is that? It's a legitimate one. Luongo is hands down a top 3 goalie in the NHL right now. In a survey of NHL GM's the question was asked what player would you build your team around other than Sydney Crosby? The obvious and overwhelming answer: Roberto Luongo. He's fantastic. He keeps Vancouver in the games every night. He plays most of the games like Brodeur does.
The reason for this question is how long before Roberto realizes he is in another dead end situation just like Florida. He worked his butt off for that franchise that went NO WHERE. What was there main problem? Lack of scoring (and bad defense). Hey that's exactly what Vancouver has. I give credit to Dave Nonis for pulling the trigger on the deal to get this great goalie but his signing of hopeful free agents makes me wonder. Why didn't he go get a scoring free agent? I know because he doesn't want to pay the ludicrous money the other teams are dishing out. I totally understand but he's got to do something a little better than he is. Our scouts have not done a good enough job to get scoring out of our system. Detroit on the other hand has terrible draft positions because they have made the playoffs for the last 16-19 yrs in a row and keep drafting guys like Lidstrom, Yzerman, Zetterburg and Datsyuk.
Don't get me wrong I think the Canucks will make the playoffs. That's not the question. We can beat enough teams to make it. The problem is what happens when we meet another great goalie and a team that can score in the playoffs? Early exit again. We have not won more than one playoff round in over a decade.
Since the draft is over, what we need to make is a trade to get scoring but I wonder, “With who?” Be careful of the rumours that sit around for months. This thing will be done in a month or less start to finish. Last spring people started a rumour Elias for Ohlund if it was for real we would have done that. Now there are rumours surfacing about us moving goalie Cory Schneider and defenseman Luc Bourdon for either LA Kings forwards Mike Cammalleri or Alexander Frolov. I could only hope that would happen but why would Crawford and the Kings do that? I don't think anyone wants Cooke and we can't move Naslund with his massive salary. I just hope it's someone that can help us NOW not in 2 years because Roberto might be GONZO!
You might be thinking he will stay for the $. Yeah he is making $6 mil a season. Let me tell you there are MANY teams who would love to pay Luongo even more $ than he is making to bring them a top end goalie. Don't be surprised if Nonis has a meeting scheduled by Luongo and while sitting in his office he hears the horrible news, “I am done here…trade me or I will resign somewhere else. By the way send me to a team that has scoring or I will not waive my no trade clause and I will cause problems here.” Sounds unlike our favourite goalie right? This guy knows he’s good and makes NO bones about it. Hard not to when you’re the best goalie we have ever had and one of the top in the NHL according to everyone in the league.
Before one of you goes off and tells me I am not a true fan should be picking them to win the Cup…think this argument through. Take off the Canucks biased homer glasses and look at it objectively. I cheer for these guys and want them to win. But there is a reason why I love 2 teams because when Vancouver gets knocked out of the playoffs you need someone else to cheer for. By the way my Flyers made great moves in the off-season. Not only did they get Briere, Timonen, and Hartnell (T&H both OVER paid) they got the former Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jason Smith. It didn’t hurt to get Biron out of Buffalo either. And they have drafted well getting Carter and Richards. Last year they were dead last. After trading well, drafting well and signing key free agents they are going to make some noise in the playoffs. See Nonis that’s how you do it.

This comment is for free: I changed my mind I like the Canucks new uniforms. To me the white ones are the best of the bunch. It’s not perfect but it’s still nice and I would love to have one. I would even put Luongo on the back of it because I could be wrong……..but I highly doubt it.

What do you think?

CFL or NFL

The NFL has officially begun and the CFL is in week 11. This debate has been going on for years. After reading the first few lines of my post you will know where I stand but the question I want answered is where YOU stand on the issue. Bring all the advice you got because I want to hear YOUR opinion.

Which is better, the CFL or the NFL?

Of course I could be wrong but I highly doubt it…

Let’s face it, the CFL sucks compared to the NFL. In the CFL there is lots of punting, they have the stupid goalposts at the beginning of the end zone, and lame rules regarding having a certain # of Canadians on each team. It’s a sub par league with sub par players.

For example:
Casey Printers who was the league MVP went down to the NFL and held a clip board in Kansas City for 2 years and got released last wk. Now he’s one of the highest paid players in the CFL with the worst team the Tiger-cats or a better name would be “pussy cats” as they have been a great pet.

Jesse Lumsden a major success in the Canadian college ranks went down to the NFL and couldn’t do anything. Now he’s ripping it up in the great Canadian Football League and is currently 3^rd in rushing.

The NFL players are bigger, faster and more talented.

“What about Flutie and Garcia?” You might ask. Both born in American. Needed the “minor league” of the CFL to gain confidence and get some recognition.

Remember Rocket Ismail? If you are a CFL fan boy do you ever. If you are a NFL fan he is a hazed memory (some guy who made a roster for a couple years in California I think).

The best example for the CFL is Ricky Williams. Sure let’s talk about Ricky. Kids, this is exactly what happens if you live a life of drugs your life and career go down the drain. Ricky was declining at the time of this whole thing anyways and he’s “back” and eligible for the NFL and he’s not even on a roster. The sad part is he doesn’t care and is probably puffing up somewhere in la la land. And about Williams playing in Canada when he’s been suspended by the NFL for the year is bush league. What’s next Michael Vick playing in Toronto and operating his dog fighting ring in St. Catherines, ONT?

Imagine Peyton Manning calling audibles at the line of scrimmage and with a bigger field and end zone. Wayne and Harrison would be ripping it up even more.

All you Saskatchewan Roughrider fans, you are all jacked because you think your going to win the Grey Cup. Well I guess it is because you haven’t won since 1989 which is not bad if you are in the world cup of soccer but this league ONLY has 8 teams! (That’s only 2 divisions in the NFL) And everyone loves the fan support in Saskatchewan and I got to agree it’s cool to see the provincial support and the Rider green. BUT there are stadiums in the NFL that have better support and atmospheres that the Roughriders. Like the Packers, Eagles, Steelers, and Bears. These stadiums that sit 65,000+ are sold out for the next 5 plus years. Rumour has it people in Green Bay put their season tickets in their wills to their kids!

I know what you are going to say…the CFL game is more exciting and higher scoring. They don’t just pound the ball for 2-3 downs they actually throw the ball. The Colts last night put up 34 pts vs. the Saints and Peyton threw the ball 30 times and the RB’s of Indy ran it 29 times. In tonight’s CFL game the Stampeders QB Burris attempted 31 passes and the RB’s carried the rock 23 times.

There are a few things I do like about the CFL:

- Overtime format is exciting and fun to watch and be apart of.

- If I do have a favourite CFL team it’s got to be the Lions.

- They show all the games nowadays not just Toronto.

- Their slogan years ago, “Our balls are bigger.”

- In the last two minutes of the game your team can possibly get the ball back twice.

Notice I have not talked about the hype or media coverage (or the poor job of filming the CFL from TSN) or the tailgate parties as any reasons for or against. I want to focus on the game and the players.

Make sure in your comments...you BRING IT! Don’t leave reason off the table.

Spurs 2007 NBA Champs

In one of the worst NBA Finals emerged one of the greatest teams in NBA history. The San Antonio Spurs dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers by sweeping them in 4 straight.

The Cavs were definitely inexperienced, unprepared and sub-par. LeBron was not his dominating self, his supporting cast didn’t step up, and they ran into a dynasty.

Now let’s talk about the Spurs. Many people don’t like them because they seem boring as they run a half court offense. But this is far from the truth. Parker and Ginobili are incredibly exciting. I love the supporting cast they assembled around them too. BUT the key is they win. They have been dominating for years; one of the greatest teams in history.

Tim Duncan: Simply amazing. Solid in all areas. Usually a 25 pt 10 + reb guy. 4 championships and he’s only 31. Will go down as one of the best in NBA history. Looked so happy tonight with that trophy.

Manu Ginobili: I think this guy doesn’t get enough credit. His ability to penetrate and finish every night against the best defenders in the league. I would love to see Bowen match up against him.

Bruce Bowen: Played great in game three and was a thorn in LeBron’s side all series. He’s underrated but extremely valuable. Great defender and can bomb 3’s.

Robert Horry: This guy is something else. He’s running out of fingers for his NBA rings. Big Shot Bob has 7 rings 10 fingers. Wow. Not as big of a force now he’s still clutch with this 3’s, great big man defender and can rebound. I am not impressed with his body check on Nash. Not necessary. For all you fans out there who think Horry’s move knocked out the Suns think about this. Game 6 Horry didn’t play and the Suns had Amare and Boris back and got smoked by the Spurs. You got to overcome adversity in order to win a championship.

Michael Finley: Great move signing with SA. He fit there perfectly and they needed his experience and added scoring. Nice to see all the guys playing for him to win his 1st championship.

Tony Parker: Totally deserved to be the Finals MVP. This guy is clutch and his speed is a huge asset.


With titles in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007 this team must be the odds on favourite to win next year. Dallas and Phoenix will be better and who knows what the East will hold. If a guy like Garnett gets traded then maybe it could swing differently in the predictions.

Unfortunately when the NBA Finals are over we are subject to the worst sports programming of the year. Baseball, golf and the CFL don’t cut it. The NFL will take me out of my sports depression in September. Can’t wait for best, fastest, strongest, most talented football players knock each other out in the NFL.

Ducks are Stanley Cup Champs!!!

I am happy and sad tonight. Happy that I not only predicted the Ducks to win it all at the beginning of the playoffs but that before the series started I said they would win in 5. Love the group photos.

Sad for a few reasons. One that Vancouver didn't win the Cup again. Two, that 3 Canadian teams made the finals in the last 3 years but NONE of them brought back Lord Stanley to the place it belongs. Will Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver be next?

On my other post I was saying that I was cheering for Ottawa but thought Anaheim would win. I found myself cheering for the Ducks the whole series. This has baffled me. I think I was cheering for Anaheim for a few key reasons:
1. I think I wanted to be right. I think everyone really wants to be right but few of us are not only in sports but in life.
2. I am really happy for Brian Burke. Why did Vancouver let him go? He changed the face of Canuck hockey to be exciting again. I like Nonis for pulling the best Canuck trade in our history (Bert for Luongo). Burke signed FA's Selanne and S.Niedermayer. Pulled the trigger to get Pronger for Lupul/Smid/picks and Beauchemin/Wright for Fedorov. His 1st yr they went to the Western Final and his 2nd yr he won the Cup.
3. I wanted Selanne to win a cup. Why would Winnipeg trade a guy who scored 76 goals in his rookie season? I think he's going to retire so I was hoping he would win it. Teemu's career stats are 506 goals, 595 assists, and 1135 total pts. A future hall of famer for sure. By the way he was 3rd in the league in scoring this yr.
4. Really wanted those young guns to win a Cup. Love Perry, MacDonald and Penner. Getlaf and Kunitz rock too.
5. I wanted Giguere to win it this time around. He's an elite goalie (right Red Wing fans - beat you twice to go far in the playoffs).

For all you people out there who think I am not a true Canadian because I wasn't cheering for the Senators, think about this > most of the key Duck guys are Canadian:
Giguere, MacDonald, Getlaf, Perry, Penner, Moen, Kunitz, Beauchemin, Scott & Rob Niedermayer, Pronger, and Brad May. So Canadian team is relative.

This picture of the Niedermayer brothers is an awesome one. Good choice picking Scott as the Conn Smythe winner. Think about this Canuck fans, I think the real reason Scott went to Anaheim instead of Vancouver was he wanted to play with his brother Rob. We would have paid him similar $ and Van had an up and coming team.

Congrats to the Anaheim Ducks showing us some great hockey. You showed the world you are the best this season. I wonder who is leaving for more $ instead of trying to repeat as Cup champs? If Teemu retires I don't think they will have a hard time finding a suitable Free Agent for the same price ($3.7 mil).

King James vs Dominate Duncan

Here we have it...Cavs vs Spurs in the NBA finals. Now everyone knows (since most ppl read this blog religiously ...lol) I picked the finals to be Suns vs Cavs. Man I was close in my prediction. As I do wish Nash would have been able to pull off the come back vs SA, I am so excited LeBron took out the Pistons.

Game 5 vs the Pistons could go down as one of the greatest games as an individual in NBA history. It would have meant nothing if the Cavs lost the series. LeBron simply just took over. The commentator said he was playing, "Jordanesk". I understand what he's saying but he's the KING. The only guy who might have a shot to be like Michael Jordan would be L.James not Kobe (rumour has it Kobe has asked for a trade but the Lakers are promising him some help...Kobe get out of there! Or maybe you are the problem. If you were just a little nicer to Shaq you would have one 1 or 2 more championships). LeBron scored a total of 48 pts. It took double ovetime but he carried the Cavs on his back scoring 29 of their last 30 pts. Didn't Detroit call a timeout and say, "Maybe get the ball out of LeBron's hands and make someone else try to beat us."? I can guarantee you they did. You just couldn't stop this 22 yr old phenom. At 22 I was at college thinking about eating a pizza and playing a little hockey never mind leading a team to the NBA finals. WOW! is a great word to describe this kid. He is the real deal. What I loved about LJ is he didn't try to come out in Game 6 with a repeat performance but he did something else. Giving the ball up they beat the Pistons by 16. Gibson had a career high of 31 pts as they defeated a great team who had made the Eastern Conference finals FIVE YEARS straight. This is no little victory. The Pistons are so strong can cause match-up problems for every time in the L. But one guy beat 7 really good team players (hey T.Prince step down because the King is here!). Now you can see why I wrote a post about this.
As good as LeBron is the Spurs are better. What I you mean? Spurs have been dominating for yrs. Unlike Detroit, SA has a superstar. Tim "I love fundamentals" Duncan has been causing teams BIG time problems for over a decade. He has NBA rings to prove it. And the pressure to win is not all on his back either as they have surrounded Timmy with an incredible supporting cast. Parker and Ginobilli are absolutely amazing. To take out the Suns you got to be great. So who wins the 2007 NBA final? If I was wanting to write an incredible story with an incredible ending I would have LeBron hitting the game winning shot in game 6 or 7 with no time left on the clock. But reality says that the Spurs are different than the Pistons. I don't know who could guard Duncan and Parker. I think SA has a way better team than the Cavs but I hope that King James shows off his mad skills and dominates.

SA in 6.

By the way Duncan and James are my two favourite players. So to have them both in the finals is awesome for me. I look forward to watch this series. Hopefully the Cavs show up to play.

Stanley Cup Finals

After a major lay off the NHL has decided to start the Stanley Cup final. Why didn’t they start it last weekend? No idea but I guess they love playing hockey in June.

Ottawa and Anaheim are the real contenders and everyone else is a pretender. This is what you play your season for a shot at the final. Is it going to go the distance and be a hard fought series or is it going to be short and sweet? We all want it to go 6-7 like the Ed-Car series but what if it’s like the Det-Phil series that was over in 4?

Anaheim Ducks playoff recap:
Beat the Wild in 5
Beat the Canucks in 5
Beat the Red Wings in 6

Ottawa Senators playoff recap:
Beat the Penguins in 5
Beat the Devils in 5
Beat the Sabres in 5

Both these teams have been dominant and have beat great teams. It should be a great, hard-hitting series and hopefully a bunch of overtimes.

Let’s break it down further: Strengths and concerns.

Strengths > Ottawa
1. Obviously it’s the Spezza, Heatley, Alfredsson line. That Hossa – Heatley deal is really paying off. These guys seem to be unstoppable. They have to be the best line in hockey.
2. Mike Fisher is a hard working, get dirty, talented hockey player. Every team needs a guy like that.
3. Goaltending. I hate when goalies get the shaft. I have no idea why the Sens went out this summer and got Gerber and started him. You drafted Ray in the 4th rd #99 overall and he has become a gem by working his butt off for you. Goalies take time to develop. I think Ray Emery deserves to be a #1 wherever he plays. I hope Ottawa wins the cup for Emery’s sake.

Strengths > Anaheim
1. Giguere has to be their best strength. This guy is amazing. He proved it once and he’s back again showing the world that he’s the real deal with a better offensive team in front of him. Didn’t the Ducks start Bryzgalov to start the playoffs? Many said Giggy is the reason they beat the Wings.
2. Selanne, McDonald and Kunitz are an incredible line. Plus they have amazing young talent. I love Corry Perry I think the Ana GM got a steal getting Perry #28 overall in the 2003 draft. What was everyone else thinking the London Knights were incredible???
3. Maybe the best moves Brian Burke did was getting Scott Niedermayer and Chris Pronger. Both these guys are up for the Norris trophy THIS year. Both have won it in the past. If there is anyone who could stop or slow down Ottawa’s top line it’s Pronger and Niedermayer. Oh yeah, don’t forget about Beauchemin either…this guy is solid.
Concerns > Ottawa
1. Ottawa’s other forward lines are decent but can they contribute in the most difficult series yet? I am a Comrie fan but these guy needs to chip in to help his team win.
2. As much as I love Emery is he better than Giguere?
3. Can the defense play together for these series? Buffalo had super speed but Emery bailed out the D.

Concerns > Anahiem
1. Scoring? Can the Ducks not rely on their goaltending to win them the cup? If the D can add scoring on the PP then they got a great shot. If not, it might be a quick series unless the forwards can get it going.
2. Can the young guns produce under the greatest pressure?
3. If they can’t stop the Spezza line they are D O N E.


My prediction:

Ducks in 5 – I think Anaheim has better goaltending, dominant defenseman who will slow down the big guns and their young talent will produce. Plus I picked them to win it all from the beginning. Unlike all you guys who pick the popular teams like Buf and Det. Or are so biased because you are a Canucks fan thinking Luongo will win us the Cup in his 1st year without scoring (Next yr with changes maybe – I hope).

I know this is an unpopular pick because we are ALL cheering for our last available Canadian team. I think many of us will be blinded by the true facts of the match-ups with our Canada 1st lenses.

By the way I am cheering for Ottawa but if I was a betting man or the choice was whether I was wrong or right I got to pick the Ducks. Leave your heart out of it and you will turn to the dark side of the Ducks.

Of course I could be wrong but I HIGHLY doubt it.

NBA Western and Eastern Conference FINALS

So here we are win and you got to the NBA Finals lose and you are forgotten.

I think most people will be predicting a Detroit victory because of experience and right fully so. But they are against a smarter and more experienced King. What stands in the way of the Pistons going to the finals again is LeBron James and his supporting cast. The Cavs are better with Hughes, Ilgauskas, and the 3 pt bomber Marshall.

The problem is Detroit is STACKED and experienced. Their top 7 are as good or better than anyone in the game. They know their roles and keep to them. Any given night any one of them can score 20+. They are hard to guard, hard to prepare for and hard to score on. So your thinking I have changed my mind and I am picking the Pistons...no I am just giving them the respect they deserve.

I think the will to win for Lebron will be greater than the whole strategy of the Pistons. I think King James has the best shot of having a career similar to Michael Jordan. Not Kobe, not Nash, not Norwitzki. James will pull all his tricks out of his hat to overcome D-town.

Cavs over Pistons in 7

The other series that is a joke is the Spurs vs the Jazz. Now everyone is hating the Spurs because of what they did to Nash. But basketball is a tough game. I don't agree with what they did to the 2 time MVP but it happened and they won. Horry should have got 2 games and the boys jumping off the bench is stupid on their part...why didn't all the bench jump off and not just Stoudimare and Diaw? These guys got to use their brains. And if you jump off the bench DO SOMETHING! Go get Piatkowski to give Horry a shot in the mouth but don't jump off the bench and pretend to be subbing in. Stoudimare that was the worst acting and lying I have ever seen.

Here's the easiest way to show that the Spurs are going to sweep the Jazz.

PG: Parker vs D.Willams > Parker hands down
SG: Ginobilli vs Giricek > Ginobilli
SF: Bowen vs Kirilenko > AK 47 slightly
PF: Duncan vs Boozer > Duncan
C: Oberto vs Okur > Okur
Bench: Finley, Horry, B.Barry vs ???

2 things the Jazz have going for them:
Boozer and the sweet baby blue uniforms that look like North Carolina's.

Conference Finals

Here we are the NHL Conference finals. The 4 best teams of 2007 are going head to head to compete for the Stanley Cup finals.

Here are the match-ups:
vs

This series will be awesome. I love the line brawl they had earlier in the year. These teams are going to battle starting in game 1. This might be the only time hatred is good.

Both have a ton of scorers but I don't think the games will be high scoring. I feel it's going to go 6 or 7. They way to stop Ottawa is to shut down their top line. Easier said than done. Spezza, Heatley and Alfredsson have combined for 37 pts. Lines 2 and 3 have earned 11 pts each and their 4th line has produced 4 pts.

Buffalo is stacked with amazing talent (Briere, Drury, etc)Miller is great in net but I feel the Sabres are lacking on the defensive end.

Ottawa in 7.

vs
This series is a tough one to call. There are things I could argue for both sides.

Ducks might have the best line in hockey right now (exception Heatley, Spezza, Alfredsson) with the Selanne line. 2 Norris trophy candidates on the blue line. Great goaltending with Giggy.

Detroit on the other hand has some great young talent. Datsyuk and Zetterberg are awesome. Lidstrom is probably the best defenseman in our era. Chelios who won't ever die or retire. Bertuzzi (who knows he might actually try now that he's in the conf finals). Plus one of the greatest goalies to play the game in Hasek.

Ducks in 6.

Ducks - Sens FINAL!

Round TWO > NBA Playoffs

Here we go...half the teams have been eliminated. This is the NBA playoffs where anything can happen but the best teams survive and the others go home.

1st round recap:
SO PUMPED Dallas lost to Golden State. Don't like the Mavs much (except when Nash was there). I was wrong in my prediction but this time I was happy I was wrong.
REALLY TICKED Houston lost game 7 to the Utah Jazz. Come on McGrady get in the game...take it over, dominate. You should have stayed in Toronto with your cousin Vince you might have won a championship or at least been in the finals. But no you had to spread your wings and fly by yourself. Another guy tried that his name is Kobe...since Shaq left he has ZERO titles.
GLAD my boys the Suns destroyed the Lakers. Showtime is no more. Suns WAY too strong. Kobe you need a stud to play with, Lamar Odom isn't the guy.
THOUGHT the Heat would have been better. I am a Bulls fan I just didn't think they could stop Wade. Bulls have tons of weapons.
THE KING is still in the building. LeBron is amazing...enough said.
SPURS KEEP winning. These guys has been here before and will be for a long while.
WHOEVER PICKED the Magic to beat the Pistons is crazy. Pistons showed their magic tricks are too many for Orlando.
SAD the Raptors season end but I knew Carter, Jefferson, and Kidd would be too much for the dinos. Coach Mitchell you did a great job...congrats on coach of the year! The Raps will be back next year in the playoffs winning round 1.

NOW, let's break down these round TWO 4 series.
This should be a good match-up...both teams can score from a variety of players and they can play some tough defense.

As much as I love the Bulls I can't see them beating the mighty Pistons. You see Detroit has as many weapons as Chicago but they are more experienced and better weapons. I am cheering for the Bulls but I can't see them winning.

Detroit in 5

The King is here! Yes Vince and Jason you beat the Raptors but now you face a real superstar in King James. This phenomena is going to show you that the Cavs are the real deal.

Basically LeBron is going to do like this picture tells you, "Get this crap out of here! This is MY kingdom."

Cavs in 5
THIS WILL BE THE BEST 2nd RD SERIES BY A MILE (or where I live a kilometer).

The battle of the big boys...
The Suns who are ready to win a title. The Spurs who have already won a title. Nash vs Parker. Barbosa vs Ginobilli. Duncan vs Stoudimare.

This series is going the distance and home court might not mean as much as both teams can win on the road.

Suns in 7

I am jumping all over the Golden State bandwagon for this series. These guys are amazing. They are quick, can shoot the lights out, and they got tons of talent.

I might be feeling this way because I really don't like Utah but who cares. I believe in Golden State (until next round when they face a great team like Phoenix or San Antonio)

Utah isn't going to know what hit them as J Rich and Baron Davis fly by them for the posterizational plays.

Golden State in 6
Of course I could be wrong but I highly doubt it...leave a comment and prove to the world if you are correct.
