No LIE!

The Calgary Flames have decided to give fans a mini video player during games because nothing is more exciting than a fan watching replays on a 4” screen.

The new 4” screens combine the excitement of watching a live NHL game with the fun of reading e-mails.

Golfer Ernie Els won a tournament this week by having his psychologist walk the course with him. This is now being copied by other athletes with Roger Clemens bringing along his Pharmacist, Chris Simon his Parole Officer and Travis Henry working with Dr. Ruth.

Don Cherry says Mats Sundin is prolonging his career by not playing for a playoff team and if anyone knows how to get longevity out of not winning the Stanley Cup it’s Don.

Prince Fielder was assigned a contract of $675,000 for the coming season or as his dad Cecil calls it a pretty good ante.

When the NHL owners stripped the players of everything in their last contract negotiations who would have thought a no-trade clause could cause them so much grief. It’s like the Americans sacking Iraq and finding out the only oil in the ground refuses to work in their cars.

Former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Chad Kilger has been suspended for not reporting to the Florida Panthers. A spokesperson for Kilger says he is just trying to prolong his career and wants a trade to a team further out of the playoffs.

Kerry Joseph the quarterback who led the Saskatchewan Roughriders to the Grey Cup has been traded to the Toronto Argonauts for a player to leave later.

If the Roughriders are unable to sign players to the team they will have to re-name Regina to Edmonton.

An amputee sprinter who has been ruled ineligible to run in the Olympics lost another appeal with the Olympic Committee saying the artificial legs give him an unfair advantage over the drugged competitors.

Toronto has lost its Grand Prix race for this year but a spokesman for the Leafs say they will pick up the slack by spinning their wheels and going in circles.

With Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds and Guy Lafleur all in legal trouble for lying you wonder if athletes really do give 110 %.

After hauling in all of 4 passes last year NY Giants receiver David Tyree has signed a book deal and quickly called it his greatest catch ever.
