Thus ended the rhetorical equivalent of Don Cherry smacking a puppy on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.

**I this so STUPID that this is a topic. All teams would love someone like this,... who can actually put the puck in the net! I can't believe that these babies actually have an edicate on how to score a goal! BTW, did you know that it is disrecpectful if you score the first goal when playing away from home!!! There is an unwritten rule, when playing on the road, it is only polite to let the home team score first...BUNCH OF JOKERS! AL

**My kid is the goalie on his traveling team, and if I saw a kid score a goal with moves like that, I'd tell him congrats and tell my kid now you know what he can do, so work on stopping it. How is this even newsworthy???? Get over it.

**it was a great goal. There should be more like that. Biron shouldn't be mad at Hertl, he should be mad at the defence for letting him in all alone. Sorry Rangers, but you made your own bed.

**This is a little off topic, but I want to pose this question: I dont know how many goals that goalie had against him by the time that last fancy goal went past him, but here's what i think: why wasnt the goalie pulled? Also, i think if a guy is feeling off he should be able to pull himself, without major repercussion.

**Cherry's just mad cuz he was a career minor leaguer with 1 game in the NHL...he could only dream of scoring such a nifty goal....he was drummed out of Boston and Colorado becuz of his boorish behaviour...like shut up Don...

**His goal was perfectly good goal. There was nothing wrong with it. If we are talking about the same goal it looks like he went in between the legs because he already passed it and it would be hard to reach back and get it. A goal is a goal. Good for him.

**Wow, what a b!tch comment from Cherry. What if Biron was my brother, son or Daddy? Are you serious? I didn't even know who was in net for the Rangers let alone made fun of them. Does Cherry want fighting out of the game too? Did he go soft skinned panty-waste on us? Jesus Tinkerbell, here's a tissue. An 18 year old kid made a sick move. End of story.

**If Hertl had been stopped while doing that trick, everyone would have laughed at him. Even his own team would have ribbed him. It is still a game, Don.

**I like Don Cherry but I just see him being a hypocrite, we all know if its not Canadian in any part its always wrong, but if its Canadian if would be ok. Just saying

**I can't believe there is any controversy. IF YOU DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO SCORE A GOAL LIKE THAT...THEN STOP HIM!!! A kid who can score 4 goals in a game and get a beauty like that has every right to be pleased with himself. Extra points, of course, for doing it against the Rags.

**a brilliant goal by a brilliant kid good for him your're gonna tell me gretzky lemieux and crosby have done nothing less spectacular? and just remember bobby orr's iconic diving goal

**So let me get this straight...players shouldn't even try to score highlight reel goals because other players might be embarrassed to get beaten? When did the hockey playing community turn into a giant collection of female genitalia? So Biron got beat, badly...so what? Is this peewee? Is there a mercy rule? Should teams get fined because the other team hurt their feelings? For f**ks sake, what a bunch of whiny nonsense. I've seen guys play through broken legs, play after pieces of their faces have been cut off, spit out teeth and keep going, but now these guys can't handle getting beat by a non-traditional shot?

**I am pretty sure nobody gave The Great One a hard time for scoring goals both fancy and in absurd numbers. The fact is the kid scored a great goal in a great game of his young NHL career.

**Don Cherry is a fossil in the same league as Bud Selig, except thankfully he has no input in the way the game is played. Championing the outdated "code" that exist in North American hockey is a draconian philosophy. This young man brings energy, enthusiasm and charisma, which to be honest is such a novel concept considering how many players and games are a bore to watch because they lack character and personality. I do believe in abiding by a code of respect, but they are pros. This is the best of the best going at it, and if you ask me, mercy in professional sports comes back to bite you in the #$%$ it's called complacency. I have no idea why this fossil, being a former pro and coach, would make an oversight like that. Do you think Hertl cares about the feelings of the Rangers, or keeping his spot in the roster? I ask you who's the true pro, the guy who wants his job and will do anything for it, or the guy who lets up because he feels bad for the other team?

Oct 13, 2013; Arlington, TX, USA; Dallas Cowboys cheerleader performs during a time out in the game against the Washington Redskins at AT&T Stadium.

**all teams have cheerleaders and all teams have girls just as pretty and shapely but you just cant beat the dallas cowgirls team uniform....it just makes them even hotter

**The Texans fans must be the worst. They should support their team win or lose. The way some have acted lately especially towards Shaub is a downright disgrace.

**That first one (Dallas Cowboys) could make me write bad checks!

**The Cowboy squad is T&A above, I mean head and shoulders above, the rest.

**Damn! Made my day coming to view the cheerleaders of the week!

**I don't care which team you support, The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and The Houston Texan's Cheerleaders are the best by far!!

**I love that the DC Cheerleaders are one of the few, if not only, to not wear a skirt over their short shorts.

On Nov. 162013 UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre will defend his belt against Johny Hendricks.

**I just hope he knows when to stop and can retire with the dignity and record he deserves. So many of these guys end up staying past their time and its sad to see greats like BJ Penn and Dan Henderson getting pummeled by guys they would have destroyed earlier in their careers.

**Andrew: now you're talkin'! I don't want to see Hendo take any more brain trauma either, though I will sorely miss him when he's gone. I hope he steps away before he starts to sound like another of my favorites, The Iceman, who hung around for a few too many KOs, sadly.

**I think GSP deserves to retire after Hendricks. His fights may not be as exciting like Jon Jones or JDS but he destroyed his competition.As for Hendrick I would recommened that Hendrick better finish the fight within the first 10 minutes or his cardio will run out.

**GSP retiring after his fight with Hendricks would be timely considering Rory Mac's rise up the ranks. If Rory gets past Lawler in his next fight, there would be no reason to deny Rory a shot at the vacated title. Ideally, that would be against the Condit/Brown winner. I think the timing is right if George chooses to retire and the prospects of Rory/Condit rematch for the belt would be exciting!

**Where is it a given that St Pierre will even beat Hendricks?, Hendricks has just as much of a chance to beat St. Pierre as vice versa. The only thing for sure is that the fight is scheduled for Nov 16. Giving all respect to both of them(both great fighters), things have a way of working out a little differently than most of us expect, Hendricks has a fighters chance. Rory Mac may not be the next big thing, and the Cow may jump over the moon. (Puns intended)

**It's best for fighters to leave one fight early than one fight too late and in GSP's case, he owes nobody an explanation. He has alot of future options available.

**GSP is a hall of fame fighter, probably the best athelete to come out of Canada. He certainly can fight better than all of their hockey players combined. He fought some of the toughest men that ever lived - BJ, Matt Hughes, Nick Diaz and others. He fought BJ and Hughes more than once. He also avenged his loss against Serra. I will miss his class and poise. GSP even out wrestled the best UFC wrestlers. I could go on and on but it's 5:00 a.m. CST.

**This could also prove to be the final piece to making a fight with Anderson Silva happen. If GSP is serious about retiring, he could vacate the WW title as the champ, then make a permanent move up in weight to take on Silva as his final fight. Despite Silva's loss to Weidman, I still think there would be a good amount of interest in a Silva/GSP fight.

**So few fighters go out as champ with a win. If GSP gets the win, then yes, no more. Don't be like so many others. If he has managed his money well, why not? Nothing left to prove.

**No I think Georges is a smart man and knows a person cannot be at the top of his or her game forever, there comes a time to say I have done all I have wanted to do and this can certainly be said with Georges. Nothing else to prove, retire with dignity!

**If anyone that comments has not actually been in the cage, you have no frame of reference. The motivation and intensity it takes to fight at his level is hell to go through. Day in, day out, putting the fight before EVERYTHING in your life. It's not like in football or baseball where those guys can go out a few nights during the week for a few drinks at the club. It's not necessarily what you're willing to put into it, but more about what you are willing to give up. GSP built a solid career, is pulling about 4-5 million a fight now after PPV buys and has nothing left to prove. He may walk away for a bit so he does have to stay busy and defend his title, but I could see him coming back for a couple of "super fights" if he does.

**When GSP retires it will be like Jordan retiring from the NBA. It just won't be the same without GSP. He gave it 100% and like Jordan had a burning desire to be the best. So it was fun watching him rise to the top. And he was the perfect gentleman. As a GSP fan this stings. But I'd rather see an athlete go out on top than to watch him stick around too long.

**There is nothing "rush" about St-Pierre. Since Serra's knock out, St-Pierre has become a boring, predictable, and stalemate of a fighter. His retirement would bring more excitement to welterweight championships. No disrespect to the champ, but he's no longer a fighter.

**This man has been and is a great champion. A legend in UFC. Would hate to see him retire but going out on a high note much preferable to staying too long.

With the New York Rangers holding a 2-1 lead early in the third period and about to kill a penalty.

**Quick makes so many brilliant saves though.. so really it's entertaining but who cares. Get em in Soci Quickie!

** I wouldn't be surprised to see Craig Anderson playing in Sochi. If he starts this season as good as he ended the last one they'll have to consider it.

** Kings didn't bother to show up tonight period. It looked like Quick was the only one awake, until he made this mistake. One of the worse games ever by Doughty and Voynov. They were turnover machines. High expectations this year for the Kings, and while it's extremely early... man, what a let down. Wake the **** up!

** He must have watched too much of the Red Green show - "keep your stick on the ice"

** Even the best goalie in the league makes a mistake once in a while. He's won games all himself, the occasional flub can be over looked.

** That was rough, but Quick is one of the best goalies in the NHL. He'll bounce back.

** Hockey can be a weird sport sometimes.

** Quick pulled two bone head plays against the Blues in the playoffs. The Kings still won. He will be fine.
** Reminds me of a similar own-goal by Marty Brodeur in the 2003 Finals. Pretty helpless feeling to accidentally put one in on yourself like that.

** eerily similar to what Broduer did a few years ago and he is one of the all time best.. Bogosian's giveaway to Corey Perry was worse lol

** Thank god this wasnt against Jimmy Howard or else he would have been tared and feathered by some of the Howard haters. Maybe even ran out of Detroit.

** Jonathan Quick only makes $5.8 million a year. If they would just pay him more, then he could be motivated to use all his skills and play much better.

** What worries me is that Quick has been giving up flukes lately in his career,maybe that long contract has taken off the edge in his play..but not all the blame is his,this is the same bunch that couldn't score last year to save their lives and they've picked up from there.

** Awful play by Quick. So far he isn't looking like Olympic material. He got a standing ovation on his next save though. Overall, got outplayed tonight. Love my Kings, but man, get with the program!!!

** Love my Kings but what a sloppy game punctuated by this unfortunate play. Pretty classless of the Rangers to celebrate what was obviously a total fluke play, otherwise congrats to them on a great game.  At least Quick had a sense of humor about it when he made an easy stop of the puck that was flung down the ice later on. Played to the audience who gave him a sarcastic cheer.

** What an amazing game that was though. Not just team for team but goalie against goalie, that was a BANGER game. WOW, still just getting over that. Now we have to play another tough Sharks team tomorrow. It's going to be goood!!!!

As Tennessee walked off the field following its 34-31 overtime loss to Georgia, there were nothing but tears.

**The Vols played with a lot of heart and a lot of guts,,,This is something i rarely saw during the Dooley years...Butch Jones is building a team!...

**after watching the replay in slow motion a few times it looks like Danielson was right the first time when he asked to see if he was gripping the tip of the ball with his fingers upon release which happens almost simultaneously as the ball breaks the plane of the goal line. If so, all that had to had happen would be to break that line with just the other end of the ball for it to be ruled a touchdown. Unbelievable ending in a game I was certain UT would find a way. UGA will likely meet BAMA again and may be the realistic choice from the east to have a chance against them for the SEC championship.

**This Gator is fast becoming a Vol fan also. Tennessee has had a rough go for the last few years. Along with the SEC, I would like nothing better than to see their swag back.

**Goes back to the 4th quarter. Wished Tennessee could've ran another minute off the clock before they scored, Granted, you never want to squander an opportunity to score 7 points, but run 2 more plays, force UGA to use their final timeout, kick the field goal (or score the TD), and give UGA the ball back with 1 minute to play and no timeouts. Might not of needed the OT. Disappointing loss, but this team is moving in the right direction.

**That rule is the dumbest in all of football. I am no tennesee fan nor georgia. If that ball would have been fumbled out of bounds on the 1/2 yard line and tennessee was last to touch it then guess what happens? Tennessee ball on 1/2 yard line. To give the ball to other team is absolutely atrocious way of officiating. I won't even go into the horrid officiating to make sure georgia was able to score to even make it to OT, that is another matter all together. Tennessee won that game no doubt about it, it is an absolute travesty that the refs made sure the scoreboard said georgia did. To go even further ball broke the plane without being out of the range of his hands. In my mind that is a TD, I have seen MUCH MUCH worse actually be called a TD. I would not support this even if it had been my team that won based on a pathetic rule. I hate this because it takes away credibility from the game and CFB is suffering from a massive shortage of that already.
