Euroverdyingit...

The Vancouver Canucks are said to be interested in trading the Sedin twins but so far the best offer is straight up for the Hanson brothers.

Sean Avery has decided to test the free agency market and so far his agent has received offers from Cosmopolitan, Woman’s Wear Daily and Tiger Beat Magazine.

Top 3 Signs the CFL Season has begun

3 Toronto is busy hosting NFL Fantasy Draft parties

2 Each teams designated coupon clipper is fighting to get under the salary cap

1 Saskatchewan farmers switching from wheat to watermelons



How bad a dye job did Vic Rauter get for Euro 2008?

...The colour job was so bad TSN cried foul and will only shoot his spot from the penalty area...

...TSN viewers are asking if he might be sick or... dead even...

...The other two announcers sitting at the table (the un-dyed?) get a nice shot up close when they are putting in their .0136 Euro's worth, but when the camera switches to Vic they use a wide angle lens covered in vasoline...

...When the background noise is not the crowd singing but the producers yelling BACK to the cameramen....


...poor Vic must be dying of embarrassment...

Calls to the station over the loss of reception during the Turkey/German game are 50-50 split between complaining about the game cutting out and having to look at Vic...

I thought it was tacky when Donal Trump called it a rug...

I guess that's what happens when you lose a bet to Jimmy the Greek...


...Vick should have paid more attention to Miss Clairol than to the Swiss Miss...


Thought I was watching an interview show on TSN and it turned out to be the Saskatchewan/Edmonton CFL game.

I guess TSN has to show more commercials during CFL games because they need time to warm up for the onslaught required for the Grey Cup.



Someone should let soccor announcers know if they spend ten minutes yelling goallllll, Eurovercompensating....

Marriage is a Turkey Shoot

With Cliff Fletcher running the Maple Leafs and Cito Gaston now in charge of the Blue Jays Toronto is partying like it’s 1993.

According to Pierre McGuire of The Toronto Sports Network everyone made a perfect pick in the 1st round of the NHL draft except for Phoenix who chose a loser Pierre said shouldn't have been picked until the 3rd round.

TSN reporter Jennifer Hedger asked Kyle Beach if his bad attitude was the reason he wasn’t selected by Vancouver at the NHL Draft to which Kyle replied “nice rack”.

After seeing my long shot picks come in this year including Turkey at Euro, the Roughriders at the Grey Cup , the Giants for the Super Bowl and Tampa Bay in Baseball, it may be time to get married again.

Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch now says he was driving the car that hit a woman but in his defense when you run over people for a living it’s hard to keep track.

Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin has been offered $12.5 million tax free to play in the new Continental Hockey League or as Premier Ed Stelmach of Alberta calls it chump change.

The Ottawa Senators are buying out the contract of goalie Ray Emery once again proving crime can pay.

Emery says he still has plenty of years left and hopes to be traded for a team distraction to be named later.

It was an awkward moment when the Toronto Sports Network asked the Leafs newest draft prospect Luke Schenn what he thought of the team trading the negotiation rights to Mats Sundin.

Top 3 questions asked by the Toronto Sports Network to NHL Draft Picks

# 3 To Steve Stankos “Who should the Leafs pick next?”

# 2 To Kyle Beach “Do you think the Leafs wouldn't draft you because they have enough head cases?”

# 1 To Viktor Tikhonov “How does it feel to be picked to play in the NHL when former Leafs owner Harold Ballard hated your grandfather.”

If Rocket Richard could get 2 minutes for looking good with his Grecian Formula dye job then TSN Euro announcer Vic Rauter should be shown a red card for his.

Last week was filled with déjà vu as Cliff Fletcher was drafting for the Leafs, Cito Gaston was managing the Jays and a Liberal Leader was praising an energy policy that would cripple Alberta.

Adam Jones wants people to stop calling him “Pacman” and would prefer it if they would use Adam, Mr. Jones or just plain old defendant.

A Calgary runner died after finishing his part of a 100K road race. Officials say he was fine until he stopped at a gas station to fill up for the ride home.

The Toronto Maple Leafs made a deal to move up in Friday night’s entry draft the first time a team picked a player because the GM had a curfew.

There are no surprises when you play the same team to end the pre-season and begin CFL regular play, kind of like hiring your future wife to be the stripper at your stag.

Auto workers in Germany closed down to watch their team play in Euro 2008 whereas the plants in Oshawa Ontario closed because GM is kicking them around.

After hearing the rap “Kobe couldn’t win without me” Bryant was relieved the singer was Shaquille O’Neil and not one of the Laker cheerleaders.

New evidence has shown Triple Crown threat Big Brown was hit on the hoof by another horse in the Belmont Stakes an ironic turn after his trainer Rick Durrow enjoyed stepping on the toes of other trainers.

After pleading no contest to assaulting his girlfriend Dennis Rodman is pondering a career in soccer as he seems to have a knack as a striker.

In Euro Cup matches a player who is suspended is not allowed to play in the next game nor is the team allowed a substitution for him, a rule officials with the Philadelphia Flyers call sheer stupidity.

When asked what he thought of Euro 2008 President Bush said he was surprised the exchange rate was so high.

Watching Turkey lose to Germany was a lot like a marriage a good start, rocky patches in the middle and an eventual loss in the end.

With the success of Sidney Crosby staying with Mario Lemieux I wonder if Steve Stankos is going to live in Melrose place?

There is a video on Youtube showing a ball girl making an unbelievable catch by climbing up the wall that was done using Photoshop. I’m not sure Cito Gaston is up to date with all the new technologies because he has offered 2 pitchers and a draft choice for Photoshop.

Animal rights activists have slammed Wimbledon officials for shooting birds around the All England Club saying people paying $25.00 for 2 strawberries and a bit of cream shouldn’t be the only pigeons allowed into the Stadium.
