A shot in the dark

With the acquittal of Jr. Hockey coach David Frost I guess players will still be able to practice 3 on 1’s after hours.

Despite not being a fan Sportsnet paid tribute to owner Ted Rogers when he passed away when one of the Connected Sports Babes pretended he was more than just a creepy old rich man.

Calgary Flames Jerome Iginla is being sued by a home builder who knows his case is flimsy but feels he needs to take a shot anyway. His lead witness is Sean Avery.

The case is expected to go before the Crown as soon as Mike Holmes can render his opinion.

The builder doesn’t believe he can receive a fair trial in Calgary because of the celebrity of Iginla and has asked the judge to move the trial to a neutral site that has no NHL roots like the United States.

NY Knicks Stephane Marbury refused to go to work against Detroit despite being paid $20 million a year. Marbury says he is showing solidarity for auto workers who refuse to take a pay cut.

Everyone complains how hard it is on Wall Street and Main Street but it appears from all the sports athletes going nuts it can’t be that good on Easy Street either.

The only group that wanted Sean Avery to play after his comments were his teammates. They felt robbed of the potential entertainment value it would have provided the road trip.

I know it’s early in the Avery era, but my money is on drugs as the disease causing most of it in the autobiographical autopsy that is sure to be released in a few years... although you can never toss out mental illness, family tragedy or syphilis.

Most Hockey fans will overlook his comments although they will never forgive him for taking the job at Vogue.

When asked if the comments were just publicity stunts Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Rick Tochett said hopefully and set the line at 2:1.

When told the words were delivered in the heart of Conservative support in Calgary a spokesperson for Quebec artists was quoted as saying “Bravo”.

Avery has hit all the right notes by not only inflaming women and inciting men but by posing as an ice skating deadman he has aroused the interest of teenage Zombie enthusiasts.

Isn’t having the fate of the Parliament of Canada in the hands of a Haitian born Governor General about the same as Gary Bettman looking out for the best interests of hockey?

The Toronto Raptors fired head coach Sam Mitchell and in an attempt to re-create other Toronto teams who have hired successful personnel from the past are trying to reincarnate James Nasmith.

There were some similarities between the shootings in Mumbai India and Plaxico Burris. The people in India mediated afterward while those in the Club medicated while it was going on.

NY is defiantly a different market because if you were receiving treatment for a hamstring injury in Canada chance are someone would have noticed the gun going off.

When I first heard a professional athlete shot off his gun in a club I naturally assumed Travis Henry was going to be a father again.
