Offensive moves

The Montreal Canadians have finalized the new ownership structure for their NHL team and in a surprise move named Bernie Madoff as an advisor to comply with an NHL tradition of having a designated crook on board.

The smallest crowd in Blue Jays history watched the team lose to Minnesota. A team spokesman said the crowd was very supportive and at times it only felt like the 2nd smallest. The lack of support is being heralded by City officials as another sign Toronto is world class and knows when they are being fleeced. They are turning their attention to more important matters like getting a ticket to see TO play.

Rafael Nadal was accosted by a man at the US Open who tried to give him a kiss. Prosecutors in NY say they will charge the man with the same crime as Plaxico Burris as they believe his gun in his pocket went off in a very public place.

Terrel Owens broke the news of Brady Quinn becoming the starting QB for Cleveland in a Tweet thus making him the Twit of the week.

After a summer free of elbowing, high sticking and sucker punches Canadians are getting excited for a return of their favourite sport, another Federal Election.

Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke is considering an offer sheet for Bruins forward Phil Kessel. This is totally different from when Burke lost a player to an offer sheet because at that time it happened to him.

Top 5 signs your CFL team needs a new offensive coordinator

A shocking report from Health officials warns Canadian kids will have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. They go on to say if they cheer for the Leafs at least it will seem like an eternity.

The release of Beatles Rock Band has inspired other ‘60’s live action games including Leafs Cup where you get to pretend to be a part of a team that has won a championship. The game is currently unrated as it is a learning tool, a historical document and and a fantasy escape from the regular season.

Alberta is reeling over an infestation of rats from Saskatchewan. What has puzzled officials is the timing of the outbreak. There is no Roughrider game which is when the vermin usually appear.

The NFL season is about to start and to acknowledge the event my GF is wearing her patience at half mast.

I have Krystal Gray in my fantasy pool and I didn’t even know she plays for the LFL.

Bet on a strike

Simon Fraser University has been sanctioned by the Canada West University board after they applied to become part of the NCAA II US athletics division. A spokesman for the school was disappointed but the sanction should help give them street cred with the NCAA.

Federal prosecutors are making an argument in court to be allowed to use evidence that shows Barry Bonds knowingly used steroids. The disputed evidence includes urine samples, delivery receipts and a confidential hat size from his haberdasher.

NBA referees say there appears to be no way around a work stoppage with one group giving odds of 3:1 against a settlement.

Vancouver Olympic officials are upset with the amount of counterfeit Olympic material showing up. So far they have found imitation mascots, trinkets and a couple of Ice Dancing judges.

Supporters in Regina were outraged when vandals painted the score on a Buffalo Bills player’s lawn saying the whole incident was a load of manure.

Renault will not contest charges they had driver Nelson Piquet Jr. intentionally crash a car. Team officials say it is the same in other sports where teams regularly throw coaches under a bus, flame out of a playoff position or gas a point after.

Bob Barker was in Edmonton to bring attention to an alleged elephant cruelty case. He later swung by Toronto and asked the Toronto Sports Network (TSN) to stop torturing the rest of Canada by showing every Maple Leaf game and practice on TSN2.

Which shot was more important to Theo Fleury, the one that won the game in a shootout or the one that convinced him to stop drinking 4 years ago?

Come on who among us didn’t want the Elephant in Edmonton to smack Bob Barker with her trunk and trumpet “This place is right bitch”?

# 3 Your mailing address is a Rehab Facility
# 2 John McEnroe has your poster tacked up in his room
# 1 You vandalize your favourite players house and he scored 3 TD’s in a win

A study from health officials around the world says that men under 30 have a shorter life expectancy because of poor eating and exercise habits... Officials suggest cheering for the Toronto Maple Leafs as it will make the hockey season seem like an eternity...
