Even though she dating New York Islanders tough guy, Matt Martin, she’ll always be Boomer Esiason’s daughter. The Boston College junior is kinda hot. Thanks to a tip from a friend of mine and the internet, we found a few photos of this week’s Total Sports Babe. Check out some pictures of Sydney, who seems to be your typical coed (except for having an NFL legend for a father and a professional hockey player for a fiancée):
No way Garth! Yes way Wayne! Hockey is back. Stan Makita’s donuts would be hopping on Saturday night if it was a real place.

It took 119 days but the NHL and the NHLPA have come to an agreement to the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The agreement came last Sunday morning at 5am Eastern time. While most of us were all sleeping the two parties hashed out a deal after talking for over 16 hours. This deal will allow all NHL to be played for a long time without interruption.
While looking around on Twitter Wednesday, one of my Mets Twitter compadres, (@metsfanmurph) had posted his 5 worst sports losses as a fan. I knew I had read a column somewhere like this before, and then I saw he made a Bill Simmons reference. Light bulb goes on.

With the buzz of a possible new arena on the horizon, Garth Snow gave the residents of Nassau County another reason to vote “YES” on Aug. 1st for that arena. The Islanders General Manager inked his Calder Trophy Finalist, Michael Grabner, to a brand new 5 year deal. The NHL’s fastest skater will earn $15 million over those 5 years, for an annual salary cap hit of only $3 million untill the 2015-2016 season.
Snow gladly plucked the former first round pick up off of waivers just before the season started. For some reason, the Florida Panthers made the decision that Michael did not fit into their system. What that “system” is, nobody knows. But what we do know now is that Jack Capuano’s system fits “Grabs”, “The Gremlin”, or @Grabs40 as he’s known to his 18,000 + Twitter followers.
Grabner started off the season relatively slow with only 8 goals up untill December 31st. But once the calender turned over to 2011, Grabner caught fire. In January he scored 6 goals, in February he scored 10 goals (including a 6 game goal-scoring streak), and in March/April he scored 9 goals. He would wind up leading all rookies with 34.
