Pinball CFL Style

Top 3 signs your teams owner is nuts
# 3 Trades his # 1 pick for a couple of Canadian Maple bats.
# 2 Signs his 73 year old GM to a 10 year contract
# 1 Buys a US NHL team as an investment

Former Denver Bronco Travis Henry was arrested for trafficking in cocaine and immediately instructed his attorney to submit a “Babies need a few pair of shoes” defence.

Henry says he was set-up and thought he was buying baby powder in bulk.

Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis fired Coach Lane Kiffin and says he won’t pay him because he lied and said congress would pass the bailout plan.

Why is it now that the Argonauts are treating the quarterback position like a pinball game?

The Vancouver Canucks named Roberto Longo as their captain despite the fact he can’t officially wear the “C”. They also named the Sedin twins as their franchise players and decal double mocha as their official beverage.

Naming a captain who can’t talk to officials is like naming a catcher that can’t give signs to the pitcher.

With the financial crisis hitting Wall Street it may be that the Yankees will be the new sponsor of Chase Manhattan Bank.

Watching a bunch of self serving people sitting around a table discussing the national interest I was confused... is it an election debate or a Maple Leafs board meeting?

Tony Mandarich the 6’2 350 lb. 1st round draft pick for Green Bay now says he was taking steroids. In other news grass is green, the sky is blue and the sun disappears every night.

NY Mets pitcher Johan Santana had surgery on his knee and is confident he will be in the line-up in time for the annual fall collapse.

Al Davis has accused Bill Belichick of tampering saying he has secretly filmed Davis during a rare coherent phase.

The Montreal Alouttes have hired David Suzuki to help them go green while the Miami Dolphins say they will stick with advice from Rickey Williams.

The Toronto Blue Jays say they invented green and for years have recycled the same excuse for losing.

You heard it here first... the St. Louis Blues will make the playoffs and become the surprise of the NHL season.

It seems there is a trend towards having 3 days rest between big moments with MLB pitchers and the US congress leading the way.

Women ski jumpers are continuing their protest to be included in the 2010 Olympics saying if voters are allowed to take a leap into the unknown...

Lance Armstron rejected a call from the French anti-doping agency to re-test his 1999 urine sample saying... piss off.
