NBA free agents are being given far less than in previous years with some going so far as to use condoms rather than pay more child support.
The CFL game between Toronto and Hamilton featured tributes to Michael Jackson with the Argos Arland Bruce imitating him in death after scoring a touchdown and the Tiger Cats copying his moon walk while on offense.
I think I have it straight, a Burka is a religious construct made of cotton used to protect the wearers’ modesty and a Brian Burka is a hockey contract made of money used to camouflage the players mediocrity.
A report says Canadians will have to work longer or have more kids to remain internationally competitive. The report was issued by a group including Brett Favre, Chris Chelios and Travis Henry.

Hole in Marketing
The coverage of the US Open was slightly tilted in praise of the US players. While Mike Weir held the early lead commentators attributed his lead to luck while beautiful swings from Michelson and Woods just had bad luck when the shot caught the bunkers, went out of bounds by a fraction or merely wounded spectators.
The biggest decisions facing the US Open were the rain delays, ticket refunds and what to do with all the video they pre-shot for Tiger Woods 1st Fathers Day win.
This just in: The Calgary Flames have announced the signing of Brent Sutter as their new head coach. Included in the deal was Brent’s ownership to the Red Deer Rebels which were then sent to New Jersey for the right to offer Brent the job.
New Jersey was originally holding out for the Flames stake in the Calgary Hitmen instead of the Rebels saying they felt a certain kinship.
Saturday was Soccer Day in Canada and the Moms taking the kids to the games agreed it was timed beautifully to precede Fathers Day.
The economy has really put the squeeze financially on this year’s US Open and I know it’s a Public Course and all but I think they have to stop taking tee times in between the players’ shots.
There was an awkward moment during the meeting between Gary Bettman and the NHL players when it was suggested the NHL was not on ESPN because they felt like a little fish in a big pond.
# 1 Twitter update from NFL players on Father’s Day... “Who’s your Daddy?”
NBC was so morose about the rain and Tiger not being in contention you almost expected them to close out coverage each day with Taps.
Why not re-name the course Beth Page Bath?
Maybe they won’t break any viewer records at this year’s US Open but it should get good numbers once it goes into rotation on the new Obituary Channel.
You would think the announcers have somewhere better to be on Monday instead of commenting on Golf.
With all the talk about hybrid clubs you would have thought the organizers could have gotten a sponsorship from Prius.
There is specualation the Molson bid for the Montreal Canadians is being funded by the Quebec Pension fund. This would explain the seemingly drunk decisions the agency took to lose 20% last year.
I wonder if they toasted the deal?
If they knew how much it would influence Russian boxing, I think the US might have nixed Rocky.
Brian Burke of the Toronto Maple Leafs is conditioning himself for his 1st draft with the team by jumping to conclusions, running off at the mouth and leaping to speculation.
With the Raptors draft on Thurs. and the Leafs on Fri. It might be possible to blacken 2 days with one stroke of the pen.
Top 5 Fathers Day gifts for the Sutter Brothers

Is it only a coincidence the Iranian revolution is wearing the same colours as the favourite team from Little Mosque on the Prairie?
The owner of Apple Stephen Jobs has been given a new liver in a transplant. Asked how he was able to keep the operation secret Jobs credited following the NHL injury disclosure policy.
A German equestrian rider was suspended after her horse tested positive for banned drugs. The horse was shocked blaming the test on a fertility drug commonly used by baseball players.
The suspension will be confirmed once they find a 5-gallon pail to get a B sample.
With President Obama throwing out the 1st pitch at the All-star game I hope he throws a change.
The USA beating Spain in soccer is being called the miracle on grass to which Michael Phelps replied try undressing a stripper after a few bong hits.
Alberta has outlawed armoured vehicles directly impacting gang members, drug dealers and payday deposits for the Flames.
South Carolina Gov. Sanford spent his Fathers Day having an affair with a woman in Argentina. Former NFL player Travis Henry says he was also out of the country for the day but did so to avoid the endless stream of pancakes from his kids.
ESPN viewed a pre draft special before their coverage of the NBA draft and not to be outdone Verses began their NHL draft coverage with a fly fishing special called the biggest catch.
