Deron and Kyle Throw Balls

2009-09-01T23:19:00.005-05:00

So the summer this year has been epically slow in terms of anything really NBA news related that didn't involve David Lee, Ricky Rubio, Ramon Sessions and Brandon Jennings thinking he is the best point guard ever.

Apparently in mormon state Utah is where all the action is going to be at come September, and it ain't basketball we will be watching, nope it will be a dodgeball tourney featuring Deron Williams and Kyle Korver. This is a charity even raising money for a worthy cause and in an attempt to drum up support Kyle and Deron have made some videos to get people to sign up. I've posted the three below, the first one is my personal favourite.

Notice the 50% Boozer jersey's on sale in the background.

Video #2

Video #3

So sign up for some dodgeball, cause well that's all I want to play now after watching the videos... and some corn. Corn, Dodgeball and a Boozer jersey, yup the good life.

Oh and if you are bored... Bill Simmons twitter feed is rather amazing to read every so often.

Video: Boston Goals

2009-08-27T00:23:00.002-05:00

Boston Goals

Sometimes I'm reminded back of the university life, and living with a roommate who is a die hard soccer fan and was brilliant at finding great little soccer videos. Anyways below you'll find the fictional team called Boston Goals who's highlights are being shown from their latest game. The two commentators remind me of university hecklers who are busy trying to out do one another and then end it with a friendship moment... do I hear KEG-GER!!!

Picturesque Shaq Style

2009-08-26T23:33:00.004-05:00

Shaquille O'Neal brings new meaning to being scared for life. Take that pink speedo... BOOMSHAQALAQUA!!!

I do hope some fan puts a sign up of him in his speedo at a game next year.

Never released book titles part 1

2009-08-25T21:35:00.002-05:00

Some guys just want a chance, and for those we salute you today with this new book title about a man who got a chance to play in the NBA and showed that even if you can't rebound you can still play for the Toronto Raptors, Utah Jazz and Philadelphia 76'ers.

Schumacher to the rescue

2007-12-12T19:35:00.000-05:00

Oh leave it to Michael Schumacher to get me out of my daze of exams and into a blogging mood. Apparently my comatose state can now be called officially over, and you ask why would this be the case. Well simple Schumacher commandeered his own taxi and drove it down the autobahn in record minivan taxi speed.

So the full story about Schumacher is as follows, apparently he went to go pick up a dog an Australian Shepherd, and once he had picked up the dog with his wife and two children he noticed that they were a little late getting back to the airfield for their flight home. Well in doing so el master driver, politely asked the cab driver if he could drive the vehicle, which the cab driver readily agreed too, and Schumacher drove down the autobahn in a minivan, clocking just about 160km per hour and according to the drive making passes that only he wished he could make and kept the peddle to the metal even around corners.

So which begs the question... with Schumacher in retirement, isn't there a bunch of jobs he could take over and save countless lives, or time for other individuals... could you see the money he could make on the autobahn driving people safely to there destination as quickly as possible, or what about these following sources of employment.

5. Firetruck Driver: A big red truck, sure he has never raced trucks before, nor has he ever entered into any NASCAR truck series, but I figure he can learn quickly and be able to put that lack of a turning radius in the truck to go use.
4. The Organ Donor Driver: Yes I know that this gets flown in and such, but sometimes it gets driven from hospital to hospital, and who better at making sure a timely delivery occurs other than Schumacher... though currently Lewis Hamilton is giving him a run for his money.
3. The Fed Ex Delivery Man: Everyone needs to get there mail, and fed-ex does like to promise next morning delivery, or same day delivery for that matter, so you can replace all those bicycle delivery boys in Boston and replace them with Schumacher, he can do the job quicker and more efficiently then anyone else on the earth.
2. Pizza Delivery Boy: The smell of pizza comes to mind, you want it hot, you want it on time and you don't want to lose money because of late pizzas, so call in Michael, who can make all the right moves so that you can have a salami and cheese pizza.
1. Ambulance Driver: This is probably the best job for him, he can save lifes, and has good reflexes and find the holes through traffic to get to the hospital, as well, since he won't have as big of a vehicle unlike that firetruck he can make more use of the lights and horns and pretend that he is racing for the championship with the crowd cheering him on.

Bitch... oh wait you're white

2007-09-30T20:17:00.000-05:00

They say a picture tells a million words, but I don't think it's just a picture that tells a million words, a video tells just as many words and gets you to wonder whether people process or not what they actually say to the camera.

Isiah has perfectly portrayed what is known as racism... go figure it's black on black, but it's still racism whether you see it or not... especially when he says it's worse for a white man compared to a black man. I don't know if both sides aren't enjoying what's being said and can't laugh about it, then well maybe you should cut it out and not say it in front of them all the time. Isiah might do better if he called a male a bitch, I just want to see the results of whether or not he gets himself looking for that special bar of soap in prison or the fact he'll be buried 10 feet underground by the Serbian mafia (Darko has to be involved with them somehow, only reason he could possibly justify those comments he made about the Italians).

I will admit I have watched this trial from afar, and to me it's almost as entertaining as the OJ murder trial (if the glove does not fit you must acquit) or the Gold Club trial... yes we can all remember Patrick Ewing's wonderful testimony on receiving a lap dance or two. But yes, trials are great, though it's only a gigantic car wreck waiting to happen in this trial, especially for the likes of Isiah Thomas, James Dolan and the Knicks. Don't worry we will remember them for their wonderful basketball managerial skills, and not the fact that they fired someone, made leud sexual advances and the fact that Stephon Marbury managed to bang an intern or two.

Not sure how this will affect Stephon's season, I suspect for the better, for once he'll be able to play semi-reliable defense, you know since he did go on trial for the defense for once. In the end Marbury may have provided exactly what this trial needed, since the jury was falling asleep, he managed to mix his skills of being a lover of sex, and a man with great taste, yes the back of the vehicle always works well. In the end we can expect no less from the great organization that the Knicks have now become. Can't wait for jury deliberations to end next week and we can all see the debauchery of this trial, because it could have all been prevented if James Dolan had just thrown money at it.

Bing Bang Stick It In, Goodnight!!

2007-05-06T23:26:00.000-05:00

**Warning, Gruesome Photo Ahead**

That's enough of a warning, by gruesome I mean a slight injury to a nose, don't worry I'm not about to post Alan Smith breaking his leg for Manchester United back a year ago. So enough of that silly topic, let's hit up the hardwood.

Yes it's basketball playoffs, and to say it's great to watch on HDTV, I've decided it's the best sport to watch on that, mind you I haven't seen curling or for that matter football, but the shiny floor is just so mesmerizing to watch. *Reminder at times I have the brain of a monkey* Anyways I have a few favourite moments of the last 2 weeks of basketball bliss... and by the way it's been bliss, not as interesting as overtime in the NHL. But the Golden State versus Dallas series did enough to keep me distracted from hockey.

Which brings me to my new favorite picture of all time. I would like to congratulate Baron Davis for choosing to wear this ridiculous outfit before a game. Anyone who is able to wear a scarf and at the same time have bullets in his hat can now be my new favorite player *This does not mean that I will draft him in the 1st round of any basketball pool, a reminder to my friends on that front*.

By the way check out that playoff beard, it's very nice as Borat would say.

Moving on, talk about round 2. Even though it has already started, oh well, let's break it down.
Detroit versus Chicago: I've decided the Eastern Conference sucks until it gets to the conference finals. Chicago is good and all, but they are too young and too inexperienced to get the job down against a team that rarely loses it's composure when Rasheed Wallace is on the bench.
New Jersey versus Cleveland: So basically Lebron versus, Kidd-Jefferson-Carter. I have no interest in this series, mostly because I hate both cities, yes I've never visited, but if Charles Barkley can hate on Oakland, I can sure hate on Cleveland and New Jersey.
Golden State versus Utah: Ah the mormons made it through, now it's a game of low post versus 3 point shooting. Something says it will all depend on what type of tempo Golden State gets to play, get Utah to run and gun and the win, if not, well they might as well be happy they made the playoffs this year.
Phoenix versus San Antonio: Okay, so apparently it's okay to make someone bleed, check the below picture, if this series doesn't go to 7 games I will feel cheated, it's the best series to watch in the 2nd round, as long as you don't mind seeing a bunch of flopping. San Antonio makes Ronaldo look tame at diving, yes I'm looking at you Parker and Ginobli.

Steve Nash is right now thinking this means war Eva, invite me to your wedding already, I'm french enough living in Canada.

**SOCCER**
Congrats to PSV and Manchester for winning their respective league titles, yes PSV with a dramatic comeback victory from 3rd to 1st in the last day of competition, it was amazing stuff to witness.

**HOCKEY**
Just get ready for the Sabres versus Sens series, I'm just hoping a brawl breaks out in the first game between these two sides, both have a lot of hatred towards one another.

Playoffs and all

2007-04-23T22:30:00.000-05:00

Well while trying to recover from the stimulation of watching a sea turtle race. (just go to colbertnation and follow the link), I've noticed that it's playoff hockey and basketball time. Which means this is the best time of year for sports bar none. Cause as well football is starting to come to a close as well over the next couple of months as well (the non american variety).

So yes, I was tempted to blog about all the teams and so forth and give my predictions, but I've decided that having maggie the monkey beat me in a competition of predictions is not only uncool but also would be quite the burst to my ego. But alas let's look at the series in the NBA first quickly.

Detroit versus Orlando (Goliath versus David)
Simple Goliath wins, Orlando is a SG/actual PG away from being dominant, and if Darko every decided to wake up... which would be a first finally, then well he's wouldn't be the worst 2nd draft pick since Len Bias (was that cocaine reference too soon).

Chicago versus Miami (Youth versus Veteran)
Well after over paying for Ben Wallace, Chicago comes in with a deep rotation and a problem with not trading for Kevin Garnett, yup that's going to hunt them for a while. Miami on the other hand has a 50% Wade and a 100% immovable object in Shaq (by the way I'm just waiting for him to go all cop on Ben Wallace and tell him that he will arrest him for having a headband on)

Toronto versus New Jersey (The ex-sanity)
Yes that's about as good of a Vince Carter reference I can come up with. And I hate to say it, but Toronto is too young, no matter how many veteran European players are playing on your team. Toronto does not have the dominating Center, sorry Rasho, and New Jersey is just too veteran of a squad these days.

Cleveland versus Washington (Overpaid, No HIBACHI)
Need I say more, this series could have been great if Gerald Wallace didn't decide to fly through the air like he was in the cirque de soleil, and land on Arenas' leg. And if Caron Butler could convince the rim and backboard to be nicer to his hand next time, maybe we would have actually had a decent series... sadly we won't.

Dallas versus Golden State (Patch Beard versus Man Beard)
Yup Baron Davis has one sweat Beard, it's more dense then his hair, and to me that's hard to find in a good beard. It will be a tough series, and maybe Dirk will grow a playoff beard as well, to attempt to match and beat Baron Davis. I seriously would love to see Davis playing hockey right about now, he would fit right in.

Phoenix versus Kobe (Team versus One man show)
Need I say anything else about this. If Kobe can somehow pull this off I'll be impressed, the man though should have just manned up to Shaq back in the day and said he needed him to be able to win championships... maybe he doesn't want too. Maybe he really just wants to beat Wilt's 100 point night record. Either way Nash and the team philosophy of the Suns is usually too hard to handle.

San Antonio versus Denver (Balding versus 3 hour hair jobs)
Yes did anyone notice the hair of AI and Carmelo, like honestly, they are looking like twins. Maybe they both bought into the team philosophy together and as well enjoy manicures and pedicures together as well. On the other hand, someone should find a black paint can and spray the bald spot in Manu's head. It's terrible to watch on HD TV to be honest.

Houston versus Utah (The world versus the mormons)
Yup, I can't stay away from a mormon reference let's be honest. But then again when Houston has all of china behind them, with both Ming and McGrady (I know McGrady isn't chinese but his jersey sales would say otherwise in China). Also not that all of china is the world, but it's a lot bigger than mormon country is in Salt Lake. Again as long as neither of two bigs get injured for Houston, then it will be one tough series. Yes you thought I was going to predict now didn't you.

Anyways there's my small run down of the NBA playoffs.

I would like to remind everyone, that the Dutch Eredivise is very exciting right now with AZ, PSV and Ajax, all tied at the top of the table, with one game remaining and AZ holding the lead in goal differential. Yes I haven't see this happen in the Dutch league ever, or maybe I just didn't pay attention, all I know is there is going to be a lot of scoreboard watching next weekend to see who will win. I hope AZ does, they need to continue to build the history they have been putting together in the last few years and deserve it for their brilliant offensive soccer they have been playing.

Why soccer is the best

2007-04-14T21:45:00.000-05:00

Well coming from a northern climate and all, and living in Canada after all, myself saying soccer is the best is quite sac religious to be perfectly honest. I do realize I live in hockey country and I will admit hockey is a great sport and invokes passion in all of us, myself included. The thing is though it's a different passion, if Canada sucked at hockey and lost the series in 72, things would be mighty different (I swear Joe I never read that anywhere). But in fact we won that series and continue to flex our muscles in the NHL with close to 50% players coming from Canada, but not winning the gold medal very much at the Olympics. Actually we are the Brazil of hockey or I might dare say the Netherlands but since they never won I can't say we are like them. Mind you tiny yet mighty, but that is for a different discussion.

This discussion is to attempt to illustrate why soccer is better in my mind, I will not say better athletes, though some could argue, but then again that is comparing apples and oranges, all athletes are great, all sports are great, yes even figure skating and synchronize swimming takes a lot of skill. So we can already discard fighting about that theory.

Now let's look at the referees in the both games.... well the only good part is that their are no judges to irrational rate you based on the country you come from, and pull out marks that make no sense (diving, figure skating). Both games have at times terrible refereeing that decide games; hockey anytime the Maple Leafs are playing and in soccer I remind myself once daily about the Dutch versus Portugal game of this past world cup campaign. Again perfectly even.

So really, what it comes down to is soccer is the best purely on two aspects, the fact that soccer players are able to get themselves in a ton of trouble all the time in the most silly of ways, and secondly the fans have more passion and more lust for their team then any redneck who watches and follows NASCAR every week.

To illustrate this fact I will go over my top 10 moments of 2007 so far.

10. Fan rushes onto the pitch after Chelsea and Tottenham play in a FA Cup game on March 19. In this attempt to fan who is a Tottenham supporter attempts to take on the Chelsea team, specifically John Terry the captain of Chelsea. Not that I condone running onto the field to punch a rival team's star player, but well it's all about the passion of cheering for the home side. (on a side note; great job Sens fans, keep up the good work on Crosby)

9. Great goal celebration... I came across this a few weeks back, wait it was posted on deadspin, thank you deadspin without you soccer would not be seen by most USA web people and Jim Rome would have won the battle against soccer. But seriously does any other league have as good as celebrations as these guys do. (I will admit the CFL celebrations are great, and sometimes the NFL).

Personal favorite celebration is when the Celtic player dives to the ground, and then two parts it by getting up and walking around like a zombie. Honorable mentions: The Snorting of the touch line and the golf swing.

8. Well sure we have seen glass fall down during a game, or a rim break, but has anyone seen the stadium billboards get torn off onto the field and whack a few players. Again on in soccer and only in South Africa does this happen. This happened in January of this year. Suffice to say no one got seriously injured thankfully.

7.

Need I really say more here, a sculptor of Ronaldihno (Brazilian superstar) was made in the shape of a horse with his face inplanted into it. Then attempted to be sold on ebay for the cool price of 25000 dollars. Yes I'm waiting for the Sidney Crosby Titanic sculptor to come so, so I can start bidding.

6. Fans support is always looked for, and sometimes that fan goes the extra mile to get the job done. Take for example this fan named Isaac Juma from Kenya, who paints his body before every match into a traditional witch doctor look. While that isn't cool enough he even goes the extra mile as he is quoted telling the BBC as follows

"After being painted I stop talking to anybody, abstain from sex and do nothing to compromise my concentration until after the match
First of all, I have to buy my own paint, then pay the person to decorate me all over my body.

That is not to mention the barber who shaves me before I go to the field."

Yes that's right folks, he gets a barber to shave him before every match, he pays for everything himself to do it, and he also has no sex after getting painted until the match is over. I will always salute fans that go the extra mile to help ones team out... that being Kenya's national team that hasn't really done much lately alas.

5. Never get in the way of drunken soccer fans... especially when they are rival soccer fans and are looking for some reason to fight. You just may lose a body part of two. Or that's what happened to a poor bartender who tried to break up a fight between Bulgarian fans throwing pro-Turkish remarks to a bunch of Greek fans.

I tried to split them up and ended up on the floor with one of the Bulgarians biting one ear and another one chewing the other ear off," Tsibibakis told state television on Wednesday from hospital. "I need to have plastic surgery. Doctors told me they cannot just stitch them back on," Tsibibakis said. "At least I still have the pieces that were bitten off.

Ah yes, the thought of Mike Tyson being there would have made this story so much more perfect, but alas maybe Dracula does live on in all of us after all.

4. Well you know what they say, always check to make sure your tattoo artist is a fan of your team before going to him to put your team's logo on your back. Maybe it would have been better if he branded himself somewhere else. You ask what happened. Well nothing like going to Argentina and attempting to get the Boca Juniors (big club in Argentina) tattooed into your back.

I'll let the news excerpt quote what happened exactly

A tattoo artist from Argentina is facing a lawsuit after drawing a penis on the back of an Argentinean football fan instead of his favorite team's official logo. Reports said the teenager approached the tattoo artist and asked him to tattoo the logo of the Boca Junior football team on his back. However, the tattooist was an avid supporter of the rival team (River Plate) and decided to play a prank on his young customer. After reaching home, the victim proudly showed his parents his new tattoo and was surprised to learn that a penis was tattooed on his back.

Ah the wonderful feeling of walking around with a tattoo of a penis in your back.

3. I've always hated the Czechs, mostly because Holland usually had to play them to qualify for the world cup, or euro, or play in the same group of them, but that doesn't mean I don't read up on the cool hip happenings. Well in this case after a loss in Euro 2008 qualifying game, Tomas Rosicky and some of his Czech teammates decided to rent a few whores... err hugging companions for the night, sadly one of them was a reporter.

Arsenal star Tomas Rosicky and five of his Czech Republic team-mates landed the whole squad a £25,000 fine from the Czech FA after spending a night in a hotel with six prostitutes. A female Czech journalist broke the story after she had visited the hotel room herself as an autograph hunter. Players 'drank and hugged prostitutes' while she spoke to Jan Polak at the room door.

Rosicky apologised for his actions at a press conference. He said: 'We have been correctly punished. We are very sorry.' However, he said he had a 'clear conscience' when asked about the presence of the prostitutes.

Nothing says having a banging good time in Prague like a bunch of whores in a hotel room, maybe it was their attempt at slump busting.

2. Ah yes, being a soccer player you would suspect you make lots of money and have an easy time buying home accessories, or so one would think. Well not in the case of Glen Thomson (English Defender) and Ben May (Millwall Striker. Who both decided that the best idea to do would be to go ahead and steal a toilet seat. Now yes I did say a toilet seat, shared between the two of them I suppose (I have no idea what two soccer players would be buying a toilet seat together) but it gets better, they attempted to steal it by placing the toilet seat that was more expensive in a cheaper ones box until a 74 year old security guard caught them. Ah well the security guard is more shifted then two fleet footed soccer players.
Alas may a poor sap one day make a public service announcement that says the following:"Don't steal toilet seats cause you are only going to go in the shitter" Ah yes youth is served!

1. Ah time for the feel good story of the year, the one that puts soccer on top for the clear fact that no where else would this story ever get spilled out into the public for why a player got suspended. Marco Borriello a pretty much unused Striker for AC Milan, got suspended for 6 months because he tested positive for a performing enhancing drug. Now this sounds pretty standard, until you find out why he failed the test. Apparently and according to his wife, Marco used his wife's cortisone cream to get rid of an STD after having sex with her. So yes wife gets infected, uses cream, Marco catches infection, has wife give cream, places cream down there, gets drug tested, tests positive, has wife tell the media what happened. Yup I think this could have gone alot better for poor Marco if he had just shut up and enjoyed the 2 year ban he would have gotten which would have alloted more time for him to bang his supermodel wife. Yes I forgot to state the part where all soccer players get young supermodel wives. Yes Mr. Yashin you can take that up your pipe and smoke it.

I figured a picture of her would suffice as well.

There you have it, the top 10 moments of this year, and it's only almost 1/3 of the way through, I can't wait for the next 2/3. And again, I don't hate hockey I just think there is more passion and more amusement in following soccer and the silly things that they seem to do. On that note, Go Sens Go.

Vote for Rory

2006-12-13T19:32:00.000-05:00

Ah yes, I'm come out of the basement to write a column, you can all start congratulating me right about now... okay kidding, school took over my life the last 3 weeks and any chance of me writing something went down the drain, go figure eh. Ah well the big exam stretch is over, got one left and well some things I need to get off my chest.

Like first off the vote for Rory Fitzpatrick idea, i'll be honest this caught me attention about 3 weeks ago and I haven't been able to really stop voting for the guy. It's all about voting for Rory, you may ask why would you do this, do you really expect a journeyman defensemen to make it, well I do, and it's simply because of the idea that people do indeed make a difference with how they vote. We are always told our vote matters, but in federal politics is never seems to count, as youngster's we become naive with the idea of voting because we know our elders will just pick their ways before our ways matter. This is a chance to show that people can make a difference and you vote matter. The vote for Rory campaign and has caught steam and he is only 100k votes short... I know that seems like a lot but just last week he was 190k votes short, so as you can see he is making progress... *I'll add here that I've voted 150 times for the poor man already*

Anyways it just grabbed my attention today that someone came up with the genius idea to put up attack ads for him. And so without furthur ado i will post them here.

So there's that, please feel free to go to the following hyperlink Vote for Rory, and it will give you instructions on how to vote for him and where to vote for him.

The weird sensation in the chest feeling

2006-11-23T00:47:00.000-05:00

That's what this song bring to me, and maybe to others who knows, and only Holland videos for me.

Just a small quick note, because I had some spare time.

On Notice Edition 1

2006-11-20T13:48:00.000-05:00

Well I found something to play with, so never the less the following are on notice according to me and the godful Stephen Colbert.

That is all for this transmission.

Economy... ain't this a sport blog.

2006-11-18T17:47:00.000-05:00

Milton Friedman, the economist, the last great economist of the 20th century you might be told died the other day, and I know that for most of you this doesn't mean a whole lot, but considering that I'm slowly developing more and more of a taste for economics it has showed me that the day is now for new big economist to pop up and give out new theories or more appealing theories to explain the human nature of wealth and how to fix issues such as poverty and what governments can do to fix these (by the way governments are a burden, they do nothing but attempt to fix chaos in which they add chaos, sorry Anthony it's true, and don't worry NATO is no better in an economist view). Though Friedman worked with alot of politicians and their campaigns and gave advice, he said this was the only view governments could contol:

"The only thing government should do to control the economy was to control the supply of money. Inflation was caused by too much money chasing too few goods. He was an absolutist on this point, holding that inflation was "always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon."

In a way though governments still don't do that, taxes definetly don't help the situation and the fact that governments protect there base rather than allowing free trade it has caused many problems between governments and the economy.

Enough about economy though, it's a sad loss for the community but he did leave a legacy for new economist to follow.

It's all about practice, or not practicing, and well to cheer the mood in the blog I'm leaving you with a bit of a classic pressconference, one that I can watch over and over again, my favourite is his ending comment to it all.

What to do about the Sens

2006-11-14T21:27:00.000-05:00

Well it's been said that life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what your going to get, but I would like to change that, to I'm a box of chocolate, you never know what mood I'm going to be in. Yes you may all agree with me, my moods are more of a swing of sports happiness, to work lonesomeness, but in the end they can revert quickly as the smallest of things.

You may ask what am I making mention to, but i think it's pretty obvious, sports is alot like that as well, when you are feeling the high you are unbeatable, when your feeling low you can't get out of a slump. Sort of what the Senators are feeling right now, and alot like the republician leaders are feeling in the US. The other day on radio I was asked by my cohost what would I do to fix the Sens, would I do the sweeping changes that Ottawa fans are asking for in firing the whole management and starting fresh? My response to that was, no, sadly I don't think this is the time to implode that organization, it doesn't need to be done, it's alot like Dutch soccer where anytime L'Oranje lose the coach is expected to be fired, but instead this time around his contract was extended. But the thing is some tinkering needs to be done, and these were my suggestions.

#1. Get rid of Alfredsson or strip him of the captain, it has come to that time where Alfredsson is not the captain of that team anymore, it's Redden, he's the leader, Alfredsson is getting lost in the locker room, and personally I think it's a fact that some star players won't listen to a guy that was drafted so low, and in the end this team was built around Redden for the next while.
#2. Admit they made a mistake with Gerber and try get rid of him, he can't play in a market where fans are on him all the time, that's why Carolina was good for him, no media pressure, maybe Tampa Bay could use him, he can get some sun, some beach, stuff they don't have in the Alps, and get him away from snow.
#3. Find a second center, to relieve the pressure off the first line, or atleast someone that can win a freaking face off, that would help.

But those are my suggestions rather than imploding a team, but in the end don't panic, I think Sens fans would much rather have a team that starts slow and ends fast with a Stanley Cup, then one that dominates every season and then comes up short.

As for everything else, that should come later in the week, my stomach is growling at me right now, ah well, hope all is well with everyone out there.

Horses.... yes horses

2006-11-01T23:52:00.000-05:00

Yes the topic is horses, those loveable beasts that prance around, and have been used many times to fight wars, hunt things, carry people around, jump over things, and basically have been our bitch for the last 500 years or so, maybe even longer, but then again the camal is a close relative of the horse, so let's just say man uses horses all the time.

Anyways this isn't a heartfelt Barbaro idea, I'm not about to spend the next 3 paragraphs talking about how Barbaro was unfortunate for breaking his leg, he was... but it still amazes me how many people think you can write to a damn horse and he will read it. Maybe that's the thing people believe in what they think can happen and not what reality tells us. Sorry for Barbaro put the only emails you'll get from me are the ones that mock anyone that is writing to you. Giving him a carrot or an apple and tell him to go find a mare and have a good romp in the park.

Moving on from that the story is about a bunch of horses in the Netherlands, that caught my attention today, and the attention of the nation of the Netherlands. Apparently a bunch of horses got trapped after a dyke got flooded over. This left the horses on an island of mud with nowhere to go. So anyways, for the few days not much was done, the hope was the water was too recede. It didn't fast enough and the horses started to starve and die. Which brought the military to come rescue them, they got about 20 of the horses, and couldn't get anymore cause there boats got stuck. So leave it to 4 woman on horses to cross the river and lead all the horses back over a spot that wasn't as deep. Yup that's right apparently the army couldn't think of the idea. Ah well, so the woman saved the day, and now everyone in the netherlands is now worried about the horses and hoping that they eat and make it out all alive. Ah well yes I thought a touching story was needed on this blog every once in a while.

**********
Moving on to some topics that were brought to my attention by one known as AN

1. Why girls smell so nice in the halls. It really makes going to class worthwhile
Girls smell nice so that they can appeal to any blood thirsty male, and to make themselves feel better that other girls don't smell as nice, therefore it's an ugly bloodbath and as Chuck Swarsky would say "She's bleeding profously from the neck area... too much perfume on that one". So yes those that win are the guys who spend there time smelling said girl in hopes to get their number.
2. The rudeness in not answering an e-mail when you know they are expecting a response
Rudeness is not answering an email, but then again it depends who you are talking too, significant other; better reply right away or your dead, friends; you have one day if you are not busy - 3 days if you have a herniated disc because of what you did to someone the night before, coworker; 5 days, take as long as you want, rudeness is expected you work with him, randomstranger; expect the unexpected, don't reply, they might want to take you somewhere.

Sports issues
1. Well Chara scored a goal against the Sens to win the game, doesn't mean I'm about to start cheering for the man... nope I'll cheer when he gets traded in 4 years time
2. Soccer, soccer, soccer, what can I say, I enjoy UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup, still the most exciting tournament to watch every year, makes league play look like a waste of time to watch... I just need another goalie injury on Chelsea so I can see Terry in net again
3. B-ball season has started, it's great, it makes for a great 6 months, if only they could get rid of the slow play for the last 5 minutes of the game, I hate the commercials then
4. Memo to Isiah Thomas your 1-0, good job, just don't blow leads like Elton John blows.... okay I won't write the rest of the comment
5. I need a new sport to watch, someone mention something, anything, something new and dynamic that I should check out

********

Okay hope everyone is doing well, the final assignment time is starting to show up, hope all our ready for it, good luck and in the end remember that school doesn't really matter, it's about the friends and people you meet that mean the most, something that even i need to remind myself about sometimes.

OUT

If your kid sweats you can get money, wonderful slogan for this new tax rebate

2006-10-26T20:35:00.000-05:00

Ah yes the title, yes it's one that makes me laugh, actually it makes me laugh alot, that society and Canada in general have gone this far to get kids to exercise to reduce the obscene rise in obesity rate that is plaguing Canada and North America for that matter. But yes the study done by a bunch of consultants to figure out how best to give away the 500 dollars a year per family for physical activity was announced today. Or atleast it was announced on how they should go about giving the money away, as alot of arts and culture people are getting angry that sports gets money. I'm sorry to tell you guys that the arts are important, but it's not going to lessen the obesity rate much, I know as much as you hate to hear that, it's the truth and you will have to live with it.

Anyways this is what the panel recommended
"
* The tax credit not be issued unless the activity includes at least one session per week for a minimum of eight weeks.
* For children under 10, eligible activities should include at least 30 minutes of sustained and vigorous activity.
* For those over 10, the time rises to 60 minutes.
* The federal government let parents claim up to $500, but give them an annual maximum of $78.50 per child.
"

What I find really funny about it all is if the kid sweats he should given money, while you could say that eating can make someone sweet and it can be a sustained and vigorous activity if you are in an eating competition. Okay yes maybe I'm going to far there, but I just find it hilarious that the government had to waste a lot of money to figure out how they are going to give 78.50 dollars a year to each kid that does something active. But in the end I guess it's good they are doing some proactive, but really they could do alot better. How about changing rules at schools that don't permit kids to play such sports as dodgeball or tag because kids can get hurt. I'm sorry I don't like seeing kids get hurt, but at the same time more damage is being done to more kids by not letting them do physical activity. Cause we all see the effects now with that wonderful obesity rate and the lack of social skills among kids these days.

Which considering I'm going down this path I should continue, kids should be allowed to explore somewhat, find out who they are by investigating the world, not everything is white and black like the world has now been painted for kids. Again you can make a case that keeping kids entertained inside the house is worse for them with video games. Sure you know they are safe, but how are they supposed to learn how to act other people then their families. There are lots of kids that don't get to explore the world and then when they get to school or even the university life they can't communicate to others, they don't know how to go about, it's just not normal to them. So maybe we should give out money to kids that explore the world as well. Just a thought anyways, probobly a wee bit far fetched, but then again that's why I write this, cause it's my idea and my hope/interest for it to happen.

*Small notes section*
-Les Habs... please trade Sergei back to Boston, we will give you Chara
-Soccer... nothing of interest, except for the nibble event last weekend, Good job Germaine Defoe

To everyone out there I hope the midterm season is treating you well and all, keep up the good work and until next time. Good night now.

Recovering Addict

2006-10-20T01:08:00.000-05:00

Yes you would wonder about that title, I know I know, it's a confusing state of mind and things, but there are alot of things that can describe a recovering addict, no it's not drugs I'm into, and no I haven't joined the smoking club Andrew (yes I do realize you are trying to quit, but it's my attention to make a silly remark as well), but no i'm trying to recover my sleeping pattern, which sadly doesn't seem to want to recover, and therefore I am an addict to bad sleeping patterns, maybe I'll fix it one day, but for now no such luck. Anyways I'm here to entertain you with a few ideas and to add a wonderful little music video and song that I can't get out of my head right now.

10 things I have to ask about sports this week.

10. Now did we really have to waste 6 games of baseball, that takes about 4 hours each to play, simple just play the 1 game between the Cardinals and Mets and stop having me to watch baseball highlights, no it's fun to play, but it's no compelling to watch unless your in the stadium (and yes I realize I'm going to take grief for that statement, that's why I said it)

9. Will the Dutch stop their disgusting display of cutting veterans and then pretending to invite old veterans back, just pick up Seedorf, move on with your life Van Basten, and fix the god damn midfielder... thank you from all Dutch Soccer Fans (L'Oranje for Life)

8. Fantasy basketball drafts are a way of life, or atleast for me, as sad as that may sound, it's even sadder how much time I spend trying to trade players because it's fun... okay so really I should not look at my team again and study, it's only the freaking preseason.

7. Congrats to the Detroit Tigers, finishing the series in 4 games was alot more compelling to me, you got it freaking done and have a close to 40 year old pitcher with the name of Kenny Rogers anchoring you, how can I now say I'm gambiling for you to win.

6. Memo to the Ottawa Senators... you can't lose all your games before the playoffs, as much as this strategy might finally pay off for you, but you can't you need to get into the playoffs... which I should take note, Boston, congrats on being pathetic, I quite enjoy seeing our defense with the big Chara look like swiss cheese.

5. Wonderful, brilliant, congrats F1, any chance you can cut down the season another 10 races would be greatly appreciated, okay I'm joking about that, while our series expands is nice to see one that contracts and can still make money doing so, go figure, wonder if baseball or hockey, or basketball could think of doing this.

4. To Dynamo Chelski (Chelsea of the EPL), I play keeper, hire me please, won't ask for much money, just want chance to prove myself to Mourinho. And don't worry I wouldn't have any pressure in regards to football... yes look at the video below

3. I would like to congratulate the Philly Flyers for giving Philidelphia something different to talk about in that town then that crap about T.0. where nothing happened. Atleast the Flyers are changing there team and throwing things around, that's more than can be said of what happened at that game a while back... it's okay Bobby you will lose your job soon enough.

2. The Buzzsaw learnt how to blow a lead better than Paris Hilton and Lance Bass combined know how to blow men... yes I went there, but that's only because Matt Leinart and Brian Urlacher have done the deed to ms. Hilton. Which begs the question, what's the over under for Paris per night... is 2.5 men, or 1.75 blow jobs or 0.5 videos... feel free to take me up on any of those odds.

1. Mike Tyson, I pray you fight a kangaroo, just so I can laugh at it later, no I'm not going to pay money to see it, but I'm more than willing to watch it... here's a better suggestion, how about fight OJ Simpson to a death match somewhere in some country that allows these sort of matches... North Korea could be an interesting sight, maybe they can drop the bomb and we can be rid of both... or then again all my entertainment value would be gone.

Anyways I hope that all you recovering addicts have some place to go and someone to take you on... I leave you with the following music video, which is my favourite 80's video I've come across yet.

Basketball draft as it happens

2006-10-12T19:38:00.000-05:00

Well, it's 8:30 at night, and because I feel like it's a good idea to for once blog an opinion on something in the real world, I've went to the fantasy instead. Yes that's right it's the 6th or 7th anunal fantasy b-ball draft... yup I know I sound like a real winner. But it our way of keeping the gang together and having some fun at the same time. So yes that's what will happen. Now to get down to a bit of business, firstly Dustin is the defending champion of this league and has decided to pick at #2. Which is probobly a good choice... hate to decided who to choose at #1. As for those that live with me, Jose is at the 4th spot, myself at #6 and Mike at #10. Now to give anyone a little background, we've been researching for the last week, not that it means anything, just something for us to be entertained with. We also have erected a podium to announce our draft picks, along with a flag, and hopefully some compadres to clap there hands... but maybe not that far. And if we can pull it off we will put some of the video online, but that will be determined later.

So round by round, I will try keep up and either mock or give props, and just try to immortilize anything silly that comes about... from Thunder Bay Ontario, I'm Benny McCarthy reporting live.

Round 1.
Well going into this draft I sort of expect it to go Lebron, Kobe, Marion, KG, Wade... but that's just me... I could be completely wrong, which I've been known to do. Just my thought to start this off. So I've been informed it won't be Lebron... well then I'll just shut up and watch the draft and see how it progresses. Marion goes #1, I like the selection, it's what you wish to do with your team. James, and then KG go... it's all good picks. Jose takes Bryant, no other choice on that one. Brand goes at #5... leaving me with choice but to take Dirk... ah well he can do everything so I can't complain. Then Wade, Arenas, and Nash go next... little early on Nash, all he does is assists in the end, no defensive presence. Allen goes to Mike at #10, followed by Paul, Duncan, Pierce, Bosh... that ends Round 1.

Round 2
Okay so after that entertainment we move on to round 2... home on the range, in reverse order for all. Amare, Dwight and AK47 go in the first 3. McGrady goes next to a fan of Ming... I guess that works, he is a rocket. Mike is up now... I have a feeling AI will go... and I was correct perfectly. Fez takes J O'Neal... no one in this room thought that would be a collect selection. Chuck picks Ming, probobly a very strong selection in the end. Diaw goes next, and I'm up... well after small deliberation I went and picked Richardson, I keep getting him in every draft... maybe I overrate the guy, ah well, it's a solid pick in my mind. Near goes and takes Josh Smith... I think you can overrate a guy, and then you go and draft him in the second round... ah well I guess he blocks your mom after all, or steals her. Well Jose is up... what does he have instore for us... And he picks Jason Kidd... surprised... will get him assists. Carlos takes Carter, I like the pick... Wallace goes next to Dustin. Billups goes last in the round to Jason.

Round 3
Jason is on the board again, got to love how the snake works... he goes and picks Lamar... well done, great pick. Dustin takes Artest, Carlos takes Joe Johnson. Jose is up and he is asking himself what is availble, other than his sister not very much. Well he takes Brad Miller, he needed a stiff pool in the room... or stabiblity, whatever you like to call it. Near is up next. Takes my pick with Carmelo, leaves me no choice but to take Rashard Lewis... didn't want him, but he was there and the best availble. Hinrich, Bibby and Redd go next in a row. Mike is up next... taking his time, doing his scouting I assume, and about to make his selection to the world... he picks Atwain Jamieson... kind of scares me... but he likes the Tarheels... so he selects him (as Jose points out he tarred and feather me). Camby goes next... he's great for an injury or two a season... I like him and all, just wish he could stay healthy for more than 30 games. Rasheed goes next, nothing to say there... yay Wallace I guess. Chris Webber goes next (Mike wonders why... so do I), up next is Cousy... wonder what he will take. Oh wait he takes Iquodala... we all love our 76'ers back to back.

Round 4
Shaq is taking, followed by Davis, and then Wallace, then Jefferson... trying to concentrate don't have as much to say. Mike is up, he takes Okafor... no surprise he has a love for UCONN players. Okur, Peja, Gasol... followed by me picking Marbury, and then the overrated Tyson Chandler. Next up is Jose who will he pick. He picks the bearded European... well done Illgauskas... two quality centers so far. Boozer goes next... for a second there is their anyplace worse than a mormon state for him... no wonder he gets injured all the time... followed by Felton and then Chris Kaman.

Round 5
Mike James gets picked, intriguing. Tony Parker representing team french goes next. Terry goes to Carlos... I like the pick. Jose on the board, MANU... getting his south american fix. Samuel goes next, followed by me picking Maggette. Then Al Harrington, and then Butler and then Ford. Up next is Mike, he picks Howard. Randolph goes next, then Cassell, then Villneuva and then Mohammed.

okay okay, 9 more rounds went by and I refuse to blog about them... mostly because well frankly things got way too insane and I had to actually concentrate on the whole matter and all. So keep in mind everyone that I did put in some effort. Anyways in the end I'll have to try give a post analysis of some sort.

Personally my favourite team at the moment is Jason's... congrats you used the first pick to your full advantage and made some times plicks when it count. After that it's a pick type league, it's all depends on what categories people decide to go for, and who makes the shrewedest acquisitions and pickups throughout the year.

As for my team, I don't mind it, I did what I wanted too, going to make a few moves and watch to see if my team pans out. The three amigos in phase 3 put forth a great effort, and the podium was brilliant.

Hopefully we will put video up soon enough of what we were up to for the first few rounds... but that will take some time, lots of video editing to happen, but it all fairness it was probobly the funniest thing we have ever concieved up here. To all who were at the draft I thank you for being there and hope you enjoyed. You were all very ballsy with your picks.

Regards

Might as well put a big Z on his shirt.

2006-10-06T16:28:00.000-05:00

Okay,

So it was announced some days ago that Zdeno Chara (that loveable big man that the Bruins overpaid to get) will be the captain of the Boston Bruins... *I think my initial reaction to that was... who and what the *A%&@@* .... why.... *

And to be perfectly honest I'm still in that boat with the idea... I just don't get it, did we really have no one else in the Bruins organization that could be the captain, someone that has actually spent enough time with the team to actually understand the team dynamic. It's like telling Chris Pronger, hey welcome to Anaheim... here's the C, now don't go cheat on your wife so that we have to ship you off somewhere (oh wait that wife part already happened allegdealy). Moving along I really can't quite figure out why he was picked as the captain, it stumbs me, i am glad they didn't give it to Bergeron yet, he's too young and the pressure in Boston is too huge to be young and a captain (reminder of the Thorton trade... bah that still angers me). But there were other candidates... 2 that I think really could have been. The first is Glen Muarry, the man has been around hockey long enough to know it all and well, he's been with the bruins alot longer than Chara has been, for goodness sakes. Oh well maybe he's too old to be a captain... well then if we seem to like European captains, why not maybe choose the penalty killing specialist PJ Axelson (by far my fav. choice to have been the next Bruins captain). He's played with the team for years, known how to deal with the personel, and has never been a cancer or anything in the dressing room, he shows with his work ethic, which if you ask me is always a positive way to go about things. But hey, the Bruins choice Chara who will be bumbiling on the blue line all day and get accolades for looking like Hal Gill (by the way not a good thing in my opinion, oh well maybe they will let him play the tough guy role as well, break his hand... be a good fight, Chara vs McGratton, be there)

Enough ranting on Chara, probobly took up more space then he should have, sort of like him in general. Well another video the post... let's just say the Colbert Report is getting up there on my fav. tv show to watch radar... anything to do with an eagle blaming Canada and so forth is a good thing. Or naming things after an eagle works just as well. So enjoy the posted video.

In other news, Holland has 2 friendlies in the next week, ummm let's see if the turmoil of that team continues. Van Bommel gets picked again (why is beyond me) and then refuses to play for the favourtism showing son of a gun Marco Van Basten (yes I said I used to like him, that was until the Portugal match). So Van Bommel won't play, Ruud doesn't trust him yet, and well we are in for an interesting week again. He better win both games... anything less than that and Co Adriense will be coach... mark my words, it's called being a coach in Holland and coaching the national team.

Everyone enjoy your turkey... I'll be heating mine in a microwave... yup you heard that one right, no stove or oven leaves me with the only other route, which is microwavable food... you stay classy Thunder Bay.

Thunked Eagle

2006-09-20T20:35:00.000-05:00

Well greetings all, another wonderful bitterly cool day in the northern part of the province, and thankfully it still smells like fresh air. Yes that's right no pollution baby, no pollution.

Anyways in news, Chuck is home safe and sound, and I'm not talking about sports this post... mostly because my life has been me in bed or me going to class, less time to worry about pity things known as sports... damn you northern sickness damn you... okay so basically I've recovered.

But the meaning of the post is the attached video. I've become quite the fan of the Colbert Report and the Daily Show, and well a few nights ago I just happened to walk downstairs in time for this fantastic report of Stephen's Eagle... and well I can't stop watching it without laughing everytime. So I hope you all enjoy.

Chuck Thunked

2006-09-15T21:43:00.000-05:00

Greetings all,

Well I want to congratulate Chuck for being the first male visitor to come up and visit me in Thunder Bay. Yes he now has that distinction, probobly for the better for him, the man last time I checked was looking for more back pills than leave it to beaver reruns... it's what happens when you travel, you get stiff body parts, sadly he is learning the lesson the hardway.

Sort of like Mr. Constantine, who sadly got suspended for one of the most creative ideas ever in terms of punishment. In hockey when you suck, and it can happen, usually the coach will make you do sucides for half an hour or so after the game, well apparently Mr. Constantine went to the university of creativity and tweaked it a bit... instead of any type of physical punishment, he went for the mental punishment. Instead of exerting oneself after a game even more he feed them dinner, instead of wasting lots of time and getting less sleep, therefore worst recovery, he drove them home right away. So you may ask, what's wrong with this picture, well it's simple, during that whole time they had to wear there hockey equipment. Yes hockey equipment stinks, and yes it's probobly slightly unsanitary to be eating food in your equipment (wonder if they went to an upscale restaurant, or maybe a Chucky Cheese, the guys could have played video games, or played in the ball pit, think of the fun it would be to play in the ball pit with hockey equipment on, diving at each other and all). But the point is, he was creative and I salute him, atleast he thought of something different, now if only we could get governments to think like that rather than the same old same old.

Anyways onto furthur business at hand, hockey starts, and sadly I don't care yet. The Tigers have almost blown up and giving up there lead, until they decided to come out and pull a Barcelona and win 17-2. But then again they might have just blown all there runs for the next year.

UEFA has started up it's round robin play in champions league, not much to report other than the fact that Real Madrid, is Real Madrid, lack of defense. Man U needs to teach Saha how to jump, apparently he doesn't know how too at all... poor guy, must be his unatheletic french ability.

Anyways just a quick update... cause Constantine is a wonder.

Watch out for Chuck, he'll be different after T-Bay

Ron Mexico Appreciation Day

2006-09-09T12:15:00.000-05:00

Yes, that's right, an appreciation day is a well deserved day for Ron Mexico. And me and the guys couldn't think of a better day to do it then today. We have designated it as Ron Mexico Appreciation Day. For those of you who don't know Ron Mexico, I'll have to fill you in, firstly the name is an alias that was used by Micheal Vick and NFL Quarterback for the Atlanta Flacons. Who allegedly used the alias down in Mexico while he was on vacation. Sadly during the visit, he ended up giving some poor girl herpes, and apparently forgot to tell her before hand that this had happened. Hence the legend of Ron Mexico.

So in appreciation of his efforts, a party has been born. A party that will include the following, tequilla (as the mexican drink of choice), mexican food (hot and spicy), and friends (minus hopefully any idea of herpes being transmitted to anyone)... yes we don't condone herpes transmission. Also there will be no Ron Mexico Jr. antics allowed either, no guns, no robbing 15 year kids, and no stomping on people's legs trying to break them. Just good clean celebrating times.

So as the Mexican's would say

OLE

Thunked in T-Bay

2006-09-06T20:08:00.000-05:00

That's Thunked,

Okay so the catch phrase hasn't caught on yet, no worries not even in my mind yet either, maybe it's a matter of time, or maybe I should just go with the classy Run you fucking dinosaur run phrase... or then again another kick at the can does just well enough.

Speaking of another kick at the can, Marco Van Basten is lucky that he gets to continue to coach the Dutch soccer team. Rumour had it, Co Adrienese, a Dutch coach that coaches the club team FC Porto was waiting on the wings if the Dutch had squeked out another 1-0 affair in there Euro 2008 qualifications. Thankfully for Van Basten and FC Porto a coaching change won't happen so soon... mind you I would have liked to see FC Porto try find another coach.

Well the US Open is getting to the grand finale, the big match up of Nadal and Federer is still on track. But no matter who wins this open it will forever be known as Agassi's swan song, and I have to say I enjoyed every minute he was on the court. He played with heart and determination, and with 23000 noisy New Yorkers behind him you would have thought you were at a soccer match. So thanks Agassi for the memories, I know my favourite will always be the time you got angry at your opponent at the US Open and decided to lob every ball he hit at you... as much as you didn't win every point it was just so funny to watch, oh and before I forget pretending to not throw the ball properly was funny as well.

Okay the pink taco, which probobly has gotten my favourite possible name for a football stadium, and leave it to my new fav. team, the Arizona Buzzsaw errr Cardinals. You'll be seeing me get my Leinart Hilton jersey shortly, or the every so popular Leinart's baby jersey, thank you USC basketball player for getting knocked up. Now if only Fred Smoot would come to the Buzzsaw that team would be complete.

In other news, I'm back in Thunder Bay, getting my life organized and setting myself up for an interesting year of classes, I'll update you more on that later, once I figure what I'm doing with my life... which sadly at this point I have no idea again. But never fear I'm signed up for a bunch of classes and we will see where the world takes me.

Back on the air hopefully this Sunday from 8 to 10pm on www.luradio.ca, I'll let you know if anything should change.

Take care all
Hup Holland Hup

Charging

2006-08-15T15:29:00.000-05:00

Greetings,

This is the briefest of messages, just had to post the video though, couldn't help myself considering I always remember it. In the following video it will show you the proper way to charge the mound, which is you need to make sure no one can tackle you from behind. So without furthur ado, for all you baseball brawlers, who just need to get out from beside the plate and hit that dirt hill so that you can take a lousy swing at the pitcher and probobly miss. Let's face it, baseball players can't fight.

Thunked Notes 1.2

2006-08-12T13:15:00.000-05:00

Just a quickie here, and no not the kind of quickie anyone is thinking about, yes I know you all thought it was an ESPN report... sorry my mind didn't go that far down the gutter like some would have hoped it would have with that word.

Firstly, off to Kingston to enjoy to solitude of a house, maybe i'll have internet connection, than again maybe not. Either or shall be an interesting night, as per the norm I'm a slave for going down with friends. I really got to stop writing everything can take on a sexual meaning today.

In other news I'm glad tight pants boy, errr Nadal lost in tennis, made me worry less about the spanish people, I would have felt better though if someone had mixed in a Portugal's Spain comment in the broadcast, or Canada's Oregon, or something along those lines, maybe even a Ottawa's Kingston... yes that's right the queen picked us, get over the fact that you didn't become the big town Kingston... just enjoy the king in your name, you swine.

Football is coming up, and every Bengal's player is trying to make the team by getting put in jail for the best reason, but never fear until Maurice Clarrett makes the team anyone has a chance to win.

Baseball, it's baseball I continue to forget about it. Now off again I go to lalaland to enjoy a little trip.

Regards
