Your turn

Sporting News, The, May 5, 2003

* No Wings. No Avs. No excuses. If the Stars don't make it to the Stanley Cup finals, they've got no one to blame but themselves.

Brad Ennett
Green Bay

* The Lakers' dilemma: Is it correct etiquette to wear four rings on one hand, or should they be dispersed evenly on both hands?

Branden Willcut
Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.

* Kudos to Kara Yorio. Her prediction about rooting for the underdog Lightning and Ducks (TSN, March 24) for first-round upsets was right on the mark.

Charlie Russo
Dayton, Ohio

* The acquisitions of Ricky Williams and Junior Seau in the past two offseasons show me that Dolphins management is serious about winning. The coaching staff has no excuse now for not reaching the AFC championship game.

Christian
DeGobbi
Hackensack, N.J.

* If owner Mike Ilitch can spend millions on the Red Wings, why can't he do the same for the Tigers? He is killing one of the most storied teams in sports.

Kevin Campagna
LaSalle, Ontario

* Bill Self is the best choice Kansas could have made. He has integrity, honesty and great skill. He's like Roy Williams, only younger. Sorry, Illini.

Dave Logue
Ellington, Mo.

* The only way the Twins will get to the World Series is if they buy tickets. All this bunch has shown me is complacency, along with a complete lack of intensity, urgency, desire and determination. If Ron Gardenhire doesn't come down hard on this team, it will lose 94 games.
