Here’s your random thought for the day. In this age of oil shortages and skyrocketing gas prices – does the idea of NASCAR not seem absolutely retarded? I’ve always thought it was dumb to watch people turn left for 3 hours and see who could do it 400 times first but, in this context, it …

Vancouver Bound
So, we’re only about 3 weeks removed from the 2008 Summer Olympics but a quick count on the calendar tells us that we’re only about 16 months from the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games. And you know what that means. The country goes ape-shit for 2 weeks over Team Canada hockey. Yesterday Wayne Gretzky announced that …
New Facebook Means End of Humanity
Okay. So maybe that’s an exaduration – but just barely. At least if you read half the world’s Facebook Status’ on the site. Over the last week or two and even before that I’ve seen people complaining about the new look and style of Facebook. Up until today, you had the choice of keeping the …
Just Another Manic Monday
Hello Friends; So I’m back from Ottawa, only to be informed upon my return home that I had a funeral to attend. Welcome home, Matt. It’s not like I was super close to the person… but deaths are rarely something that make you feel all warm and fuzzy. Today I am back on the hunt …
Best Quote Ever
Micheal Hestand of USA Today was just on Prime Time Sports on the FAN 590 in Toronto and the subject briefly touched on politics and whether or not McCain would be like 4 more years of Bush and whether or not you even really needed to care who was president and when asked about the …

As per usual, there is no sign of any hope that the National networks will pay very much attention to the Paralympics, let alone Goalball. If you have any interest in watching the games (and both Canada’s Mens and womens teams have a …
Hockey Is On The Horizon
So we’re just a couple of weeks away from training camps opening up for the NHL and today there are reports flying around that the Montreal Canadiens would like to host an outdoor game at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium. It’s an interesting proposition for a couple of reasons. The NHL has taken to this concept and …
Paper Planes
Morning, Campers! Has anybody heard that song Paper Planes by M.I.A.? It’s kinda trippy. I may get flamed for saying I like it but it’s kind of catchy. Sure it’s poppy but at least it sounds different than anything else getting churned out right now… and I’ll give them points for that. The NFL kicks …
9 0 2 1 Oh My God I’m Gonna Get Roasted!
So. Last night I found myself sitting on the couch with my sister at around 8pm and noticed I did not have control of the remote…. and I knew exactly what she was going to flip on since she used to love the old school version and because it had been pimped for months now. …
It’s Over! Let It Go!
Look. I love the Jays – but it’s over. I’m so tired of hearing how far back they are. It doesn’t matter anymore. Everytime I watch Sportscentre or listen to a radio on the update where they recap the Jays score, they always end with “with the loss/win the Jays are now 9 games back …
