So I was just watching the Bronze Medal Game of Wheelchair Rugby from the Paralympics on CBC and it looked to me like there may have been a difference in opinion amongs the team members of what should be considered a success for the team. Team Canada beat the team from the UK to claim …

Waste? I’d Say So.
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 …
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 …
>Running Out Of Luck
>Hopefully someone can help me out. A while back, we mentioned our friend J. Well, now he’s in Beijing, and he ran last night…er… I think that’s when he ran. He gave us this site to go watch him. The site works great if you want to watch the current event, but I can’t seem …
Paralympic Goalball Tournament
So starting this Sunday over in Beijing is the Paralympic Goalball tournament. 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 …
You’ve Got Questions, We’ll Get Hatemail
Greg Twilly, a man who is far and away everybody’s favourite commenter, just asked me some questions. “How come the mascot for the Paralympics isn’t missing a limb or something? And what the hell is that thing supposed to be? It sort of looks like a gay cow.” Tasteless yes, but the man’s got a …
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 …
