Merry Dickmas

The Washington Redskins started with 10 men on defence instead of 11 in tribute to recently slain teammate Sean Taylor. After running a play right at the empty spot Denver Broncos coach Dick Jauron lived up to his name...Dick.

Baseball Veterans Committee elected 4 new members including 3 owners and a former commissioner. Asked why former union leader Marvin Miller was again excluded the Veterans said he didn’t meet the criteria of reducing costs, making obscene amounts of money for the owners or being in the pockets of an owner.

Scott Suggs became the first angler to cash a $1,000,000 cheque when he landed 7 bass for a total of 17 lbs. in a recent tournament. Second prize went to a fisherman from Newfoundland who landed 780 lbs. of cod and took home $39.99.

The New Jersey Devils are on a 7 game winning streak which coincided with Coach Brent Sutter using some of his junior tactics namely bed checks, curfews and weapons checks.

The Calgary Hitmen set a new record when over 26,000 teddy bears were thrown at a recent game. This eclipsed the record of 29,000 towels thrown in by Calgary Flames fans on Saturday. There hasn’t been so much fur flying in Calgary since the Stampeders lost to the Roughriders.

The Toronto Blue Jays showed off new powder blue uniforms to keep in synch with their powder puff line-up.

Canada begins its journey for another Jr. Hockey Gold medal and to help the players deal with the pressure they Hockey Canada has signed a promotional deal with Tums.

The Calgary Stampeders signed John Huffnagel to coach the team and in his first speech said he wants to eliminate bad football. John says he hopes to make Calgary a tougher place to play by taking less penalties, creating more turnovers and finding a place for the new Cowboys Nightclub to open.

A new game making the rounds is the Philadelphia Flyers bingo. Once all the Flyers have been suspended opponents get a blackout.
