Best Before Date

The Vancouver Canucks are saying Coach Marc Crawford has already paid for his involvement on the attack on Steve Moore. He’s coaching LA isn’t that punishment enough?

The performance drug question seems to be having an effect on signings for MLB players. Instead of multiyear contracts owners seem to be sticking to the drug manufacturers recommended 1 year shelf life.

Chris Simon received 30 games for trying to saw off a player’s leg but in the spirit of the season will still be invited to carve the NY Islanders Christmas turkey.

After winning 6 games in a row on a brutal road trip the Calgary Flames are trying to re-create the feeling by having their loved ones serve them room service.

Terrell Owens says Jessica Simpson is a distraction to Tony Romo and for his outburst there goes Owens chances of being named Employee of the Month. Jessica’s latest movie is so bad it is going direct to video except in Texas where the screening has been a boon to tomato sellers.

Miles Fly By

Alex Medvedev is considering starting a new professional hockey league to compete with the NHL. Sources say the league will be made up of European players who want to stay home, NHL players who want a smaller schedule and former Toronto Maple Leaf first round picks.

Top 3 Reasons to sign with the new Russian Hockey League
# 3 No Chris Simon or Sean Avery
# 2 Sounds cool to make over 20 million Rubles a year
# 1 Even marginal players can be a Czar

Dallas Cowboy safety Roy Williams was suspended for an illegal horse collar tackle which would have probably been overlooked if he hadn’t bit the players’ ear as well.

Roger Clemmons says he should be given the benefit of the doubt which is OK because no one can doubt he was the one to benefit most from using steroids. Clemmons says the only growth hormones he used came from good old chemically enhanced Texas beef.

Five Atlanta Falcons were fined for wearing T Shirts saying “Please Michael...take me with you!”

Listening to all the player explanations of how they only took steroids for medical reasons reminds me of the Steve Martin routine on using pot...”I only used it in the late mid early evenings... but never at dusk”

If steroids are so helpful at getting people better how come Doctors never tell you to take two shots in the ass and call me in the morning?

I’m not sure if NY Knicks coach Isiah Thomas learned anything from his sexual harassment trial as he has a pair of nylons hanging up for Santa to fill. Have to love how NY fans have got into the spirit of the season because it’s not easy to sing “Fire Isiah” to the tune of Jingle Bells.

Part owner Michael Jordon of the Charlotte Bobcats stepped onto the court to show the players a couple of things. He mostly concentrated on driving the lane, setting a pick and bluffing with Queen-Nine off suit.

Watching Chris Simon have another rage induced meltdown makes me glad the NHL tests so strenuously for steroid use. On the scale of what to look for in steroid use Simon makes the diagnosis simple.

Todd Bertuzzi says he broke the neck of Steve Moore because if he didn’t he would have had a pretty long week. I agree because I once didn’t break someone’s neck and the week was just hell.

Bertuzzi at first declined to repeat the words he used during the attack because being such a classy guy he was worried about the sensitive ears of the women in the room. Wow a misogynist and coward who would have guessed the two could exist in the same person?

Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton had his driver’s license suspended for a month after being caught speeding. In his defence Hamilton said he thought one of the other drivers was trying to pass him but it turned out to be an airplane.

Florida State is suspending 25 players from an upcoming Bowl game after they were caught cheating. Officials say they are upset the players didn’t just trust the teachers to adjust their marks like usual. The players said they only cheated to have a better chance of making the New England Patriots.

The Montreal Alouettes have hired a coach with no CFL experience which is being condemned by the other coaches who say they can only keep the lines pure by in-breeding.

Former Seattle Mariner Julio Mateo pleaded guilty to assaulting his wife but asked for forgiveness saying at no point did he take drugs to help his performance.

Sicko for a Decade

After breaking his wrist in 3 places Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Bryan McCabe became the first member of the team to record a hat trick.

A new survey says Canadians drink more than ever which is easily explained by the increase in the number of sports writers.

After getting into a fight and taking it out on the penalty box Philadelphia Phantoms Steve Downie is being told to take steroids to reduce his rage.

Calgary Flames coach Mike Keenan won his 600th game this week and to celebrate the team had a party in which he pulled the caterers half way through it.

NY Islanders forward Chris Simon is in trouble after he stepped on the ankle of Jarkku Ruutu. In his defence Simon says his coach asked him to step up his game.

Philadelphia Flyers forward Mike Richards signed a 12 year contract or as Rick Dipietro called it a good start.

NY Yankee Andy Pettitte admitted taking growth hormones but only because he was injured. This line of reasoning was quickly picked up by Roger Clemmons who said he had a cold from 1996 until yesterday.

With 8 teams failing to score over 10 points this weekend it appears the NFL has embraced the neutral turf trap. You know it’s been a bad week for scoring when Jerome Iginla had more points than Tom Brady.

You know Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was having a bad game when his girlfriend Jessica Simpson questioned his play calls.

Former Chicago Bears lineman Todd Burger was arrested for his role in an internet gambling site. Sources say the former guard was in charge of protecting the site and getting the quarters back.

Chris Simon is taking time off for personal reasons after he stepped on the ankle of Jarkku Ruutu and apologized to his teammates for his decision to cut and run.

Alex Rodriguez says he “turned white as a ghost” when he heard his agent say he was turning down the NY Yankees offer. Later he re-signed a contract that turned him back to his normal shade of green.

After being shut out in Cleveland the Buffalo Bills had to take a bus home as their plane like the offence was grounded.

Last year Dallas quarterback Tony Romo had singer Carrie Underwood in a luxury box, this year it is actress Jessica Simpson and next year plans are underway to have Paris Hilton fill the slot. There is word Jessica will release a new song that will put the sexy a quarter back.

Chinese Ping Pong player Ma Lin doesn’t understand why the sport is not bigger in North America. The answer is simple most sports in North America are already a racket played with small balls.

Brian Sean Griffith, a former bodyguard to figure skater Tonya Harding who admitted a role in the attack on her rival Nancy Kerrigan during Olympics tryouts, has died. Friends say Griffith was never the same after the event and up until the end couldn’t get a break.
