Bend it like Curler

David Beckham says he will play out his contract with the LA Galaxy and hopes his stay with the team didn’t totally upset what was important, him getting a chance to play for England in 2019.

It’s a telling sign that the only highlights we remember from the David Beckham stay in LA were hair related

Mark McGuire says he will return to the St. Louis Cardinals despite an unproductive 1st year being a hitting coach. McGuire says he will try giving it a bigger shot next time.

Jim Armstrong of Richmond, B.C. Canada’s representative the Paralympics curling pleaded guilty to selling and dispensing counterfeit Viagra drugs with intent to mislead or defraud. Armstrong says he felt pressured into pleading guilty and when the judge asked what his plea was he had to hurry... hurry... hard!

There is a possibility the rest of his team may have to forfeit the medals they won during the games. Asked for comment the team says they felt stiffed.

Toronto has elected a drunken overweight red necked far right conservative for Mayor while Calgary has elected a Muslim, Harvard educated, gay, person of colour to represent their city. Next thing you know the Leafs will be ahead of the Flames in the standings.

It now makes sense when Leafs GM Brian Burke says his team needs a gut check.

After being sent down by the Edmonton Oilers defenseman Sheldon Souray suffered a hand injury in a fight but being the team player he is Sheldon was quick to show Oilers management what finger was broken

A new book called Discrimination in the NHL says French Canadian players are overlooked for English speaking players. Asked to comment Don Cherry said “Non”.

I agree completely with the premise and would suggest the bias goes further as French Canadian rioters never get the publicity or rewards they deserve.

The Alberta Government is coming under fire for the increased wait times in hospital emergency rooms. A spokesman agrees the times have gone up but say they expect them to decrease once teams visiting the Edmonton Oilers stop picking fights with Steve MacIntyre

A wind warning was issued for Toronto which came the same week Leafs GM Brian Burke says he is exploring trade possibilities... coincidence?

France is rioting over an increase in the retirement age which has confused Quebecers as they didn’t know the retirement age had a hockey team

Canada is lobbying the makers of the new Lord of the Rings prequel saying they could use members of the Montreal Canadians as extra Hobbits
