Amateur Form

The NHL All Star shoot out was pretty boring with the most creative moves saved for the after game party. Everyone was saying the moves would pick up next year and that’s no surprise Montreal women have heard them all.

Seeing the difficulty NHL players had with the creative moves maybe next year they should have 12 year old kids doing the breakaway shootout.

The NHL is considering adding 2 games to the schedule, the only sticking point being all of the GM’s want to play the Leafs 2 more times.

Hank Steinbrenner is telling NY Yankee fans to be patient saying he won’t trade his prospects for overpaid veterans until after spring training officially begins.

The Toronto Argonauts have offered a contract to former B.C Lions quarterback Dave Dickenson proving players aren’t the only ones with head trauma. The deal is for 4 years or 6 games whichever comes first.

Jason Kidd of the NY Knicks wants out and if his request for a trade isn’t granted he will go ahead with his sexual harassment suit. Kidd says he feels he has done all he can to keep the Knicks from becoming a laughing stock and now wants to dump his.

Former NHL player Jere Karalahti was arrested in his home country of Finland for attempting to smuggle in amphetamines. Now we know how he got the nickname the Finnish Flash.

During the Super Bowl media day a reporter dressed in a wedding dress asked New England quarterback Tom Brady to get married which answered the question “Whatever happened to Dennis Rodman”.

The Lingerie Bowl has been cancelled this year because none of the quarterbacks would let their model girlfriends compete. I guess the headline is Lingerie Bowl goes Bust.

The CBC has applied for a license to broadcast an all amateur sports channel. Great just what we need more Leaf games.

Calgary Stampeder coach George Cortez has turned down the chance to become the Head Coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Cortez cited family reason as his wife can find Regina on a map.

PGA players are livid with the new drug testing program saying they feel it was sprung on them in the off season. After hearing from officials Frank Lickliter was incensed that one of the banned products included Vicks Vapor Inhaler. Frank should check the rules, it’s not the products that contain a dripping nose it’s the ones that cause it.

PGA players are now looking at forming a union and hope to have it in place in time for high tea.

Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Kerry Joseph is going to take a shot at the NFL. After winning the Grey Cup Joseph feels he should be given a contract that reflects his status as one of the CFL’s best. Hus biggest concern was a clause that had him being paid in US dollars.

Loved watching the Red Bull Crashed Ice demolition derby as it reminded me the last time I went to a Lulu Lemon warehouse sale.

The Calgary Flames are said to be close to signing restricted free agent Dion Phaneuf to a long term deal. They are stuck on a few small details including the contract length, bonuses and an out that allows him to pursue his dream of becoming a catwalk model.
