All-Star breaks
As I am following the MLB home run derby online right now (following it online because some worthless undergrads are seeing Friends instead on TV!), I am wondering what the equivalent of this is in the NHL and the NFL. All-star breaks exist in all 4 sports - baseball, basketball, football and hockey - wherein they have a game with the best players in each division facing off against each other. In addition, the NBA has the skills challenge, the 3-point shootout and dunk contest on the night before the All-star game. The equivalent of this in MLB is the currently ongoing home run derby. But, I don't see how any such similar event can be held in either football or hockey. It basically boils down to the fact that in both these sports, there is no way to test out individual skill levels (for that matter, there is no way you can have a competition involving just the pitchers in baseball as well). The only possible event I can think of in football is to see how far quarterbacks can throw the ball; but that would be one real lousy contest :) I can't come up with anything at all for hockey! Do any of you have any ideas? Or, are there already such events and I'm one poor ignorant soul?!
Cheers,
Harsha

In terms of quarterbacks throwing the farthest....penn state might be number one..(though for college football!!)..we have the best quarterback!!!
Totti pls dont show ur ignorance of Football, by commenting about it....Penn State football sux big time, Joe Paterno has to go....Zack Mills, Maurice Robinson all QBs r stinkers...
On the other hand USC (LA), the Trojans, were crowned the best college football team last year :)
Wow! I certainly don't know names of any players in college football. But, I did know that USC dominates big time ... no clue about how good PSU is though
0.5 bitch! You change loyalties quicker than a catwalk model changes clothes (for want of a better analogy).
BTW Harsha, this is Mudit, your wallmate in first year. :-)
Hey Mudit, great to hear from you.
This is fast turning out to be a reunion of the 2003 batch out of IITM!

Vyas, I do see IP addresses. But, your identity is anyway more than ob from your blogspot page (I don't think I can call it a blog!).
