Wow. Dick Pound of the IOC is a real prick judging by this article about women’s ski jumping. They have been blocked from being an olympic sport for some time for various reasons that all appear to be falling apart. So now, Dick Pound is basically threatening them, saying “embarrass us and you’ll have to …

An Open Letter To Vesa Toskala
Down Goes Brownhas written a fabulously entertaining response to Vesa Toskala’s comment that he couldn’t wait to wash the blue and white out of his gear. Dear Vesa, Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’ll pause for a moment while you configure your screen reading software. It’s now been ten days since you were traded. …
Oh The Good Old Hockey Game, It Was Quite The Rotten Shame
I can’t remember the last time I was so excited about watching the Leafs. It might have been when I was there live at the ACC, or maybe it was during the last playoff run yes kids, believe it or not there used to be hockey around here after the beginning of April. But who …

Hockey, Wrestling And Food
This probably won’t be much of a post, but here goes. I didn’t get a chance to comment on the big Leafs trades that went down over the weekend, so I’ll do that now. We gave up quite a bit to get what we got and I’m not totally sold on losing Hagman and White …
Remember When Watching The Leafs Was Still Kind Of Fun?
The Leafs are playing (or at least what hpasses for playing nowadays) this evening and it’s probably going to go the way pretty much everything has gone this season, which means a lot of us are going to need a good cry at the end of the night. So to try to soften the blow …

Eh! O! This Cheer Can Go!
I should have written this post yesterday. It seems a little late now. Oh well. I’ve been seeing stupid commercials similar to this one where Pepsi was telling everyone to “learn” this new cheer “written” by a Canadian. The cheer is, as everyone in Canada well knows and wants to forget, “Eh! O! Canada go!” …

Wait, what’s that you say? They weren’t playing? They’ve both been suspended indefinitely? Why would that be? Goodness, they got into …
Share The Dream And Part With Some Money
Until today, I had never seen this give us 10 bucks and we’ll give you a piece of the SkyDome Roof commercial from 1989. I know I’ve never seen it because if I had, there’s no way I would have ever forgotten it. Yes,the Dome and its retractable roof were a pretty big deal 20 …
Good Morning. Can I Go Back To Bed Now?
I have no idea what I’m writing about here, I’m just writing for the sake of writing. I guess we’ll see how this turns out…wonder if any of you will bother to read it to the end. I hate my body. Yeah, let’s start there. My body can go to hell. Since Carin has to …
We’ve Got Ourselves A Winning Streak
Leafs 5, Wings 1. I can’t comment much on how the game was since for the second time in less than a week I was dropped by a headache and ended up sleeping through most of it. I think it’s a sports hating headache because last time this happened it took me out for most …
