I would like to see Miroslav Satan (pronounced shuh-TAN, i think) of the New York Islanders get traded to the New Jersey Devils,that would be cool. _Beavis Laugh_ On a similar note,I thought it was neat that Pete Rose played most of his career with the Cinncinati Reds. Excluding anyone named Bill,Phil,Nick ,Brown or King,what other athletes would you like to see playing for a team that befits their name? ---

According to Miroslav Satan’s entry in Wikipedia, the proper pronunciation is SHAH-tahn. ---

But he didn’t he play for the Devils? I could’ve sworn. I know they were trying to get him for a long time. Hmmm, I guess not (checking stats). I used to giggle everytime I saw his jersey. ---

Well it would have been nice if Henley (June) and/or Walsh (Steve) had played for the Eagles… And in baseball, I keep hoping that Todd or Tyler will wind up in Arlington, so that we could have Walker, Texas Ranger…
