I be Leaf
It was a tough week for sports broadcasting networks with TSN getting flack for blacking out the Calgary/Saskatchewan game in Calgary and CBC being lambasted because they aired the Leaf game.
Because of the blackout I had to listen to the Stampeder radio coverage which had a few stutters in their play by play.
At 1st TSN said the blackout was a mistake but later they said it was an elections rule because it was felt Roughrider Chris Czarka, who is running for Alderman in Regina, would get an unfair advantage with the voters partying in Calgary.
A battle for the slums of Rio de Janerio, which resulted in cars and building being set alight, has Olympic officials questioning the Countries security. A spokesman for the Rio games was unconcerned saying the incident was just an Olympic torch rehearsal.
An autopsy is underway to discover the cause of death after an acrobat with the Cirque de Soleil fell to his death. Opinions vary as to whether it was the fall or the sudden stop at the bottom.
After taking a 30% pay raise last year the Alberta Conservatives reduced their salary by 5% and called it even. This is the type of accounting that Gary Bettman wants to see from potential owners of the Coyotes.
Calgary Transit refused to run posters for an art show featuring pictures of a giant baby on their train and bus lines which explains why advertisements for the TO Show were nixed as well.
An exhibit featuring parts of the Dead Sea Scrolls arrived in Canada and officials with the exhibit hope to have Chris Chelios supply some of the missing words.
I’m undecided if I should invest in Canada Savings Bonds, Alberta Savings Bonds or a Barry Bonds autograph.
Wouldn’t you know it? Just when watching the Leafs is fun HNIC says they may pull some of their games because they are not competitive. The only person who can remember when they were competitive was Foster Hewitt.
If the umpires keep making mistakes in the baseball playoffs they will soon be eligible for a bailout.
Will Leaf fans be given the H1N1 flu shot 1st as they seem to be getting sick almost dally?
My girlfriend says she would watch a lot more hockey if they would adopt the strip shoot out for each game.
The US Government is reducing bonuses paid to companies that almost destroyed the economy but a spokesman for the Leafs say Brian Burke will still get his.

Lights...camera...
Montreal Canadians George Laroque says he is ashamed after starring in a commercial featuring lingerie clad women playing street hockey. Laroque says he donated the money to animal awareness and I guess buying the women furs made them aware.
Isn’t giving the Nobel Prize to President Obama like giving Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke this year’s award for best executive in the NHL?
There is a precedent for giving President Obama the Nobel based on potential it’s called being the 1st round pick in the NFL draft.
The NFL had some objections to Rush Limbaugh as an owner, things like racism, polarization of political views and past drug abuse. The only reason he was considered at all is the NFL originally thought he wanted to be a player.
Limbaugh says he is the victim of a vast left wing conspiracy so maybe he knows enough about hockey to buy the Coyotes.
I hope they get the new building in Quebec City built before Gary Bettman figures out the city is still in Canada.
A startling report says the Arctic may be free of ice in 20 years. This prompted Gary Bettman to say if there is no ice and they build a rink they could have a shot at an NHL franchise.
As an investor I’m torn as to what will appreciate more... stocks that are rising despite the dismal job numbers or an autographed Vessa Toscula jersey?
The Toronto Argonauts want to play a home game in Moncton, the Buffalo Bills are playing home games in Toronto which has cause tourism officials in Toronto to unveil a new slogan... “Toronto a place to call someone else’s home”
More abused... Theo Fleury or Maple Leaf fans... discuss.
Canada received yet another slight from our American neighbours this week with the release of Theo Fleurys’ book. Where are all the Hollywood actors lining up to defend Graham James? I’m sure if you search his stuff there will be a film.

Hockey Dali
Teacher Pension the owners of the Toronto Maple Leafs have purchased the sleep company Simmons. A spokesman said the deal will accent the Leafs because when the Leafs lose customers have more mattress time.
The sideshow that is the NHL Players Association is much better suited to be a soap opera. I keep waiting for one of the honourable suits involved in knifing Union head Paul Kelly to suddenly confess he is actually Alan Eaglesons long lost sister Tootsie.
What is more honourable the NHL sticking an owner in Phoenix for millions in a market that won’t support a team or s former Chief Justice of Ontario peddling his influence to settle a score for a friend?
I’m pitching a script for a movie… in it Bonnie Lindros had an affair with Alan Eagleson and Eric is their lovechild in an elaborate plot to get rid of hockey so Hell can freeze over… can’t decide if it will be fantasy or a documentary…
Gary Bettman was furious at the decision of the Phoenix court saying the ruling would force him to spend nearly all this winter, talking with lawyers and staying in some crummy executive suite instead of enjoying the games in Nashville, New Jersey and Edmonton.
Kurtis Coombs, 19 had his hopes for victory as Mayor of Paradise NL vanish when he lost a draw after a tie with the other candidate. Coombs was furious saying the only other group that determines who gets the ball picking a name out of a hat is the Toronto Blue Jays.
Who says hockey isn’t trendy I mean they invented the fist bump.
It’s too bad Alberta is delaying their flu shots because the Flames look sick!
Calgary is wearing their original all red jerseys which make them look much bigger. Health officials say they are worried opposing teams may come down with a case of the Flames flu.
The Dali Lama was is Calgary and in an obvious pander to the city said non violence is OK but sometimes you just have to kick some Oiler ass.

Offensive moves
The Montreal Canadians have finalized the new ownership structure for their NHL team and in a surprise move named Bernie Madoff as an advisor to comply with an NHL tradition of having a designated crook on board.
The smallest crowd in Blue Jays history watched the team lose to Minnesota. A team spokesman said the crowd was very supportive and at times it only felt like the 2nd smallest. The lack of support is being heralded by City officials as another sign Toronto is world class and knows when they are being fleeced. They are turning their attention to more important matters like getting a ticket to see TO play.
Rafael Nadal was accosted by a man at the US Open who tried to give him a kiss. Prosecutors in NY say they will charge the man with the same crime as Plaxico Burris as they believe his gun in his pocket went off in a very public place.
Terrel Owens broke the news of Brady Quinn becoming the starting QB for Cleveland in a Tweet thus making him the Twit of the week.
After a summer free of elbowing, high sticking and sucker punches Canadians are getting excited for a return of their favourite sport, another Federal Election.
Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke is considering an offer sheet for Bruins forward Phil Kessel. This is totally different from when Burke lost a player to an offer sheet because at that time it happened to him.

# 4 The last time the offense had a TD it was scored as an official’s error
# 3 Team punter has a repetitive strain injury
# 2 The QB keeps hearing laughter in his headset
# 1 They score less points than a Premier League Football Club
A shocking report from Health officials warns Canadian kids will have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. They go on to say if they cheer for the Leafs at least it will seem like an eternity.
The release of Beatles Rock Band has inspired other ‘60’s live action games including Leafs Cup where you get to pretend to be a part of a team that has won a championship. The game is currently unrated as it is a learning tool, a historical document and and a fantasy escape from the regular season.
Alberta is reeling over an infestation of rats from Saskatchewan. What has puzzled officials is the timing of the outbreak. There is no Roughrider game which is when the vermin usually appear.
The NFL season is about to start and to acknowledge the event my GF is wearing her patience at half mast.
I have Krystal Gray in my fantasy pool and I didn’t even know she plays for the LFL.

Bet on a strike
Simon Fraser University has been sanctioned by the Canada West University board after they applied to become part of the NCAA II US athletics division. A spokesman for the school was disappointed but the sanction should help give them street cred with the NCAA.
Federal prosecutors are making an argument in court to be allowed to use evidence that shows Barry Bonds knowingly used steroids. The disputed evidence includes urine samples, delivery receipts and a confidential hat size from his haberdasher.
NBA referees say there appears to be no way around a work stoppage with one group giving odds of 3:1 against a settlement.
Vancouver Olympic officials are upset with the amount of counterfeit Olympic material showing up. So far they have found imitation mascots, trinkets and a couple of Ice Dancing judges.
Supporters in Regina were outraged when vandals painted the score on a Buffalo Bills player’s lawn saying the whole incident was a load of manure.
Renault will not contest charges they had driver Nelson Piquet Jr. intentionally crash a car. Team officials say it is the same in other sports where teams regularly throw coaches under a bus, flame out of a playoff position or gas a point after.
Bob Barker was in Edmonton to bring attention to an alleged elephant cruelty case. He later swung by Toronto and asked the Toronto Sports Network (TSN) to stop torturing the rest of Canada by showing every Maple Leaf game and practice on TSN2.
Which shot was more important to Theo Fleury, the one that won the game in a shootout or the one that convinced him to stop drinking 4 years ago?
Come on who among us didn’t want the Elephant in Edmonton to smack Bob Barker with her trunk and trumpet “This place is right bitch”?
