WWE for dominance. It sounded great on paper, esspecially given the enthralling nature of the real Monday Night Wars, but it

Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. This week they discuss US forward Abby Wambach, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Alumni Stadium in Guelph, Miami Heat fans, and Adam Pacman Jones at the NFLs Rookie Symposium. Cathal Kelly, Toronto Star: My thumb is up to US forward Abby Wambach. International soccers most famous out-loud counter found something else to count about his week, becoming the highest scorer in international soccer history. Lets put this into perspective: Pele scored 95 goals in his international career, Diego Maradona scored 34. Wambach has 160. The thing we have to remember about this player is shes a world champion, an Olympic champion, and now the career leader in goals; maybe one of the greatest players of all time. But lets also recall that Canadas Christine Sinclair, three years younger, is sitting at 145 career goals. Gary Lawless, Winnipeg Free Press: My thumb is up to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the University of Guelph. The Ticats played their first game at Alumni Stadium in Guelph this week. Some will tell you it is cramped, its also intimate and quaint. Its the CFL at its very best. The Tiger-Cats are making the best out of a bad situation; the University of Guelph getting $500,000 for their trouble and national exposure at least 10 times this year. The story will be fantastic if the Tiger-Cats get to host a playoff game and its played at tiny Alumni Stadium in Guelph with only 13,000 tickets; it will be the hottest ticket in Canada that weekend. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is down to the fans of the Miami Heat, who streamed out of the arena in South Florida late in Game 6. What a mistake. You had two choices: watch the San Antonio Spurs win a championship; a deserving team, or watch your own team pull off one of the great comebacks of all time, which is what they did in overtime. There are two rules in sports: You can never have enough pitching and you never leave a playoff game early. Dave Naylor, TSN Radio 1050: My thumb is down to the NFL Players Association for inviting Adam Pacman Jones to speak at this weekends Rookie Symposium about life away from football, even though hes recently been charged with assaulting a woman in a bar. Bringing former bad boys to the Symposium sounds like a great idea as long as they are truly ‘former. Now while Jones maintains his innocence in this incident, his presence sends an unsettling message to the incoming class of rookies, that its possible to demonstrate poor behavior and terrible judgment throughout your NFL career, and still have an NFL career.Roger Staubach Cowboys Jersey . Dusautoir, the former World Player of the Year, sustained a torn bicep playing for Toulouse in the Heineken Cup on Saturday. The flanker, who has played 65 times for France, is expected to be out for up to four months. Michael Gallup Jersey . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. http://www.shoptheofficialcowboys.com/Elite-Larry-Allen-Cowboys-Jersey/ . The No. 1-ranked Nadal tweaked his back warming up for the Australian Open final, which he lost almost four weeks ago in a major upset against Stanislas Wawrinka. His first stop after the layoff is the clay in Rio as he tests the back and tries to stay healthy for the French Open in three months. Trysten Hill Womens Jersey . It just didnt show when he hit the ice. Berra made 42 saves and Kris Russell scored at 1:32 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. Tony Dorsett Womens Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.Ahead of this weekends Survivor Series, were taking a look at five of the most memorable moments in Survivor Series history.Moment 3:? WWE Reigns Supreme,? 2001 Survivor Series (Nov. 18, 2001) The Monday Night Wars produced some incredibly compelling television during its nearly six-year run as Monday Night Raw and Monday Nitro went head-to-head. The two companies battled week after week to gain ratings advantages over the other. Each brand had extended periods where they would hold the top spot, creating the most tumultuous time in professional wrestling.The competition officially came to an end -- or so we thought -- when Vince McMahon bought out his adversary, purchasing WCW on March 23, 2001.In an attempt to capitalize on the popular era, the Monday Night Wars were incorporated into a storyline pitting WCW and ECW -- the Alliance -- against the WWE. The story unfolded with Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and Paul Heyman leading the Alliance to challenge Vince McMahons WWE for dominance. It sounded great on paper, esspecially given the enthralling nature of the real Monday Night Wars, but it fell a bit flat.ddddddddddddHowever, while the four month long program never really caught fire, the feuds culmination at the 2001 Survivor Series was blazing hot.The match saw Team Alliance: Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, Shane McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin take on Team WWE: The Rock, The Undertaker, Chris Jericho, Kane and the Big Show. It was everything that the entire program should have been: dramatic, intense and with a little twist at the end that allowed the WWEs real-life victory to be played out on television. Its tough to go wrong when 10 of the most talented performers on the roster go at it for 45 minutes. When you add on the highly entertaining bickering between Jim Ross and Paul Heyman on commentary, the end result was one of the more satisfying traditional Survivor Series matches in history. ' ' '
