With the New England Patriots close to debunking the myth that the 1972 Miami Dolphins are the greatest NFL team of all time, what are your sports myths that are firmly believed by the masses?
The one I STILL hear now and then is that the "H" on the Canadiens logo stands for "Habitants" - hence the nickname "Habs."
Actually the logo has two stylized letter Cs on either side of the H and it stands for "Le Club de Hockey Canadiens."

Pete quite the typo.
I totally resent being called Jimmy. I have no idea where you would even get that since I am #1 on his insult list. In fact everyone who goes against him he thinks is me as a different call name.

The biggest sports myth of all time is:
Jimmy knows sports, NOT!!!

10. No, I don't think the NHL is clean. Other than steroids, HGH, the gossip I hear is coke/heroin etc. (Insert your own Emery joke here.)
9,8,7,6,5. Tiger/MLB/NBA/Jeter/PGA: don't care. Too boring to watch.
4. WTA: totally unwatchable: every time they swing that big, heavy racket: UNHHH! UNHHH! UNHHH! Even if you muzzle these girls, it's still not men's tennis
3. CFL is as entertaining as the NFL.
2. Not very informed on UFC, but it seems tightly controlled.
1. The lockout fixed nothing. Short answer: contract the league. There's enough talent out there for 24 teams, tops.

I agree with Jimmy, Womens tennis is more enjoyable, mostlty becuase they wear those tiny little skirts. Too sexy.

I think womens tennis is more enjoyable, and not for the reason the article gives. Mens tennis is a powerful serve never returned most times, or a return of service for point. Pretty boring. Women actually have several hits before a point.

Besides the one that the Maple Leafs are playoff contenders would be that Jimmy the Flyers fan knows anything about sports.

Yes Patriots Cheated, TV and cameras were invented after the 1972 dolphins record was set.

The 1972 Dolphins team was a myth? No, sorry, that was no myth, they are still the greatest football team of all time even if the Pats win the superbore. I doubt the Dolphins had the benefit of camera technology to spy on other teams benches and steal their plays (they can deny it all they want! They were caught red handed! Oh, how the media conveniently forgets). Go Giants! And the biggest myth is the Yankees being the greatest sporting franchise to date. The Dallas Cowboys, Montreal Canadiens, Manchester United and Boston Celtics are all greater than a group of overpaid steriod junkies.
