A Cherry on the Case

Tiger Woods won the athlete of the decade award and his spokesman in an attempt to put a positive spin on his current troubles said Tiger has nailed the Masters and to date no reported minors.

BMO field in Toronto has been deemed too small to play football in despite pleas from Argo officials that they rarely use the end zone anyway.

A doctor linked with Tiger Woods has been charged with being in possession of performance enhancing drugs. Who knew Viagra would be the next problem for Tiger?

After seeing the deal the Toronto Blue Jays got for Doc Holiday you have to wonder if they are taking advice from ex Argos coach Bart Andrus.

A doctor has blamed Don Cherry for causing concussions a claim vehemently denied by the CBC who say you are not supposed to watch Coaches Corner if you have a head injury.

The only people banging their heads on account of Cherry are fashion designers.

A group of people called Ice Edge has offered the NHL $140 million for the Phoenix Coyotes. The deal is conditional on approval from the NHL Board of Governors and a drug test for the Ice Edge CEO.

Bettman says there are many other individuals interested in purchasing the Coyotes although the number goes down when they are properly medicated.

Rogers Communications has won a court case with Bell Canada over advertising claims that Rogers is the “most reliable” network. Bell is still hoping they will win their suit over Rogers calling the Blue Jays a “professional” baseball team.

Recent finding have shown humans were in Europe earlier than first thought. They discovered this by studding teeth that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt they were English.

The climate conference in Copenhagen has come out in support of industrialized nations paying developing nations large amounts of money for sins of the past. They got the idea of subsidising hot weather areas by those from colder climates from the NHL.

A hoax at the climate conference saying Canada will agree to ridiculous reductions in emissions were said to be by the group the Yes Men or as they are known in North America the NHL Board of Governors.

A Japanese baseball pitcher called the Knuckleball Princess has been signed to play in the Arizona league. According to Red Sox Tim Wakefield she can really bring the heat with speeds of over 50 mph.

5-A-Hole

Tough week for Tiger Woods as his wife is upset he is having affairs, black women are upset he is having affairs with white women and Adam Lambert says he owes him a kiss.

When Tiger went to Australia he received a $3 million appearance fee which he quickly paid to one of his hook-ups as a disappearance fee.

Oprah has made an offer to Tiger to clear the air on her show the 1st woman who wants him on a couch in a vertical position

After 54 years on air the Soap Opera “As the World Turns” has been cancelled. A spokesman says they just can’t compete with the story line Tiger is weaving

Mental health experts think Tiger may suffer from a rare form of sex addiction that causes men who are rich and powerful to act out. Most women say it’s just par for the course.

I asked my GF if I was a sex addict and she said I didn’t have enough money

Philadelphia Flyers goalie Ray Emery will have abdominal surgery which is weird because I thought it was Ottawa Senator fans that couldn’t stomach him

New York Islanders defenceman Brendan Witt was hit by a car just before a game in Philadelphia. The driver of the car says he was aiming for Islanders goalie Martin Biron to show his disgust at how he played for the Flyers last year but went through the 5-hole and got Brendan instead.

Hitachi has developed technology to identify people from the veins in their fingers, which is slightly different from Detroit Lions fans who are easily recognized by the veins in their forehead.

The technology is not new as most wives use the middle finger to identify when they have watched enough football

Police in Vancouver have seized a cache of ecstasy pills with the Olympic logo on them. Officials with the IOC were livid and immediately demanded a percentage from all the drugs.

The pills differ from the ones with the Toronto Maple Leaf logo on them which are called agony.

Taxi Squat!

35% of professional Rugby player are currently on the injured reserve list and supporters are demanding answers as to why the remaining 65% are such pussies.

Fun fact... there were more players on the Riders Taxi Squad than actual Taxis in Calgary for the Grey Cup.

I thought it was an Atlanta Braves thing but it looks like the Florida Panthers are using the Tomahawk Chop

Fore... play!

You know it was a Canadian University Championship football game when the host is Quebec featuring teams from Alberta and Ontario and yet most of the people in the crowd were wearing green.

Traffic was snarled in Calgary for Grey Cup weekend with a sudden snowfall. Vehicles moved much quicker once fans of the Riders took the watermelons off their heads and used them for traction on the icy roads.

So a story in the tabloids linking Tiger Woods to an affair lands in the newsstand the same week he has a car accident running into a tree on his property and his wife just happens to have a golf club to free him from the vehicle. Wow what luck!

The club Tigers wife used to get him out of the car? A free Woods.

Tiger Woods wife is like most new golfers... once she hits the dimples it goes a few yards then ends up in the trees...

Police became suspicious when a Tweet from Tigers wife told her friends she was going out clubbing

LFL star Krystal Gray was in Saskatoon for a Grey Cup appearance and challenged men to a throwing contest after seeing all of the passes made to her fall short

After being an asset all year who would have thought the Riders 13th man would cost them the Grey Cup.


A huge traffic jam on the #1 Highway leading into Calgary resulted when Winnebago’s clogged up the roads leading to McMahon Stadium after hearing Snowbirds were to do a pass over


At the end of the Game none of the players would name the culprit and so sales of the Rider Jersey “I am the 13th man” quickly sold out... and the line was used often on LFL star Krystal Gray at the after game party...

Children in Saskatchewan learning the basics of football now have a new competition the Punt/Pass/Kick and Count.

Top 5 signs you have too many men on the field
# 5 The down lineman has a Pilsner hat on
# 4 You have to take off both shoes to count them all
# 3 One players is wearing number .08
# 2 There is a fight to see who will snap the ball
# 1 You manage to disappoint both the Rider Nation and your elementary school math teacher

I told my GF I wouldn’t wash my Rider shirt again until they won the Grey Cup and she was surprised I had ever washed it

# 5 Half time lingerie football game features contestants from the Biggest Loser

# 4 The food is green and you’re cheering for the Alouettes

# 3 The beer supply has more imports than non imports

# 2 Matt Dunigan shows up to do the play by play

# 1 Nobody touches the special “Horsemeat Hash” tribute to Calgary

You have to wonder why any fan from Saskatoon would be coming to Calgary when LFL star Krystal Grey is there.

New Brunswick has said no to sponsor the Olympic torch relay for a cost of $1.5 million saying they can’t justify the expense. Olympic official were livid noting this may result in IOC members having to eat local caviar.

I guess Brian Burkes straight talk only works on the players.

It looks like Jesse Lumsden might be the most valuable addition to a sled since Rudolph.
