Upon fewer review

There were 300 arrests Saturday evening in Toronto as part of the Gr8 protest slightly more than the number arrested during riots following the English/American World Cup losses earlier in the day.

When told there were 300 arrested in protest to the loss of civil and environmental controls and corporate raiders a British Football supporter was quoted as saying “cute”.

A spokesperson for the riot says they hope to make a small profit from a combination of the revenue from looting, blog related advertising and better than projected prices on raw materials. This was due to surplus sticks, bricks, pucks, Molotov cocktails and kegs leftover from the Montreal Canadians short lived playoff run

Who says Harper doesn’t attend extravagant arts and culture ceremonies with wildly divergent forms of artistic expression?

They arrested and held the rioters in an old film studio; I think the previous movie filmed there was a Police Squad sequel. The processing center was a boon to the anarchists who were taking civil disobedience majors in College as they could edit their term papers on the spot.

Do you call a guy with a cell phone at a riot embedded or does he have to get bedded 1st? I am so jealous. There are really hot women in passionate debate of the issues leading today’s riots. When I was a young rioter we were lucky if we got a pretty RN in recovery

The Gr8 Riot of Toronto was so familiar. When I was a kid it was called the boys got drunk... someone hit a Cop... with a car... a fire got started... the boys were in jail and the women had to go and bail their asses out. The proper name in Saskatchewan wasn’t riot it was called a Bonspiel

Top 5 signs your riot left over from the Montreal Canadians playoff run
# 5 It is funded with a Canada Council Grant
# 4 Smoking is recommended
# 3 Invitations state dress is black tie & balaclava
# 2 Pucks are added to the traditional police car torching
# 1 The rioters making a difference are the ones wearing Jaroslav Halack masks

I was kinda creeped out by the reaction of Peter Mansbridge to all the coverage that was supplied from freelance sources. I thought he should have spent more time with the new British Prime Minister instead of constantly asking the interns if he was still relevant...

The CBC really went all out with the coverage... but with the previous network commitments I found it hard to tell what was World Cup rioting and what was Gr8 rioting.

I thought the CBC had all the right angles and bringing in Don Cherry for a special Coaches Corner was a masterstroke. Don was in fine form showing how Canadian rioters were far more aggressive in the corners than their Swedish counterparts

You know what the Gr8 security needed to help with crowd control? A few dozen hockey referees. It was a riot in Toronto. A few guys in Zebra stripes giving out penalties, it would have been over in less than 3 hours commercials included.

Most of the rioters had probably played hockey and just the sight of a referee would be enough to have them drop the puck and head to a penalty box.

I spent the weekend glued to the cover as the great minds sat around tables and plotted the future with expert assistance and commentary. The end really was a bit of a surprise with the winner being Team Taylor over Team Tyler. I smell a sequel to Twilight!

I wonder who had more hand infractions this weekend players during World Cup Games, anarchists at the Gr8 Riot or Cougars prowling the NHL teenage draft?

The Alberta Government released a report saying they are only $1 billion in debt for this year instead of the projected $4.5 billion. The announcement was timed to coincide with the Wildrose Party meeting and a way of showing fiscal conservatives they had a grip on the finances. It just feels like the Phoenix Coyotes – Jim Balsille court fight. Substitute Gary Bettman for Ed Stelmach and Jim Balsille for Danielle Smith and the game is the same as they are both fighting for power, money and are on thin ice with the rules.

Being a member of the Calgary Flames draft team had the same clout as being the Greek finance minister at the G 20 Summit.

I felt bad for Brian Burke and Daryl Sutter when the other owners made the Flames and the Leafs sit at a kiddie draft tables.

F1 was thankful a catastrophe was averted during a spectacular crash this weekend that ended up with the driver walking away. After reviewing the video it was confirmed that the poster he flew over was a licensed sponsor of the circuit.

There was over 110,000 people in Philadelphia for the 3 game Jays home stand and increase over the 100,000 fans the Jays had for the month of June

FIFA is taking calls for replay on controversial goals very seriously and hope to have an answer when they meet in a retreat in Tahiti to discuss efficiencies.

The CFL Players Association has agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement that sets a new minimum wage in line with the wages of the concession workers other pro sports teams.

When the CFLPA says they had to make concessions in this contract, it took players a while to learn how to make popcorn without burning it

The agreement also has a new drug testing policy. The players will be randomly tested. Recreational drugs are not included as any athlete making what they do need access to drugs that make you forget.

The Alberta Government has increased the number of retirement beds in the Province just in time to see the Flames and Oilers send a bunch of veterans out to pasture.

FIFA says they will revisit technology upgrades in future World Cups. They hope to have news and will issue a press release once the typesetters return from vacation

I wonder if Oilers who were released or waived felt like a Martin Luther King Jr. speech... Free from last... Free from last...

The term Free Agency as applied to millionaire athletes is like the term Corporate Oversight to Wall Street brokers

Four Russians are alleged to have been spies for Russia and were found to have forged Canadian identities. Officials became suspicious when the individuals pronounced about “aboot”, thought Ron Lancaster was a curler and cheered for Russia in the Olympic hockey tournament

A spokesman for the US border services said Canadians blend in so well because they sound American. This was followed with an angry call from Quebec for an apology and for funds to form a committee examining potential damage awards to all French Canadians.

One of the spy suspects has a racy Facebook page with pictures of her in various stages of dress which should have been a tip off as not a one of them was filmed wearing a Flames, Leafs or Canadians jersey

One of the alleged spies has disappeared and authorities are worried he may play hockey which would pretty well make him invisible to the US public

I love how the teams in pro sport agree to a salary cap and then spend millions buying out contracts, sending salary to the minors or “loaning” players to a KLH squad... in an effort to stay under the salary cap. The salary cap counts only as much as a conscious counts to a money manager from Goldman Saks

The Calgary Flames are trying to rid themselves of the contract of Ales Kotalik and will buy him out if necessary for the cost of $ 4 million or roughly the team salary of the Calgary Stampeders 32 man roster for 2010.

I don’t know what I am going to watch when the World Cup ends as the only Network that regularly broadcasts less scoring at 7:00 AM is Nickleodeon

I really hope he makes a comeback but it is beginning to look like a Cheechoo train wreck

Nigeria has pulled funding for their national football team and they will not compete with other nations for 2 years as backlash for the team not making it to the World Cup playoff. The move has been criticized as counterproductive because Nigeria can only get better by playing world class teams. NHL experts say it is like giving away 2 1st round draft picks for a proven scorer
