Everyone is wondering why LeBron James is not finishing out games. Look at him. The difference in the size of his arms and chest is noticeable compared to when he was in Cleveland. Maybe he misses his home cooking. Wouldn’t that be ironic that James can only become great by staying in Cleveland and eating the food and drinking the water?
I feel really bad for the NBA announcers who wanted to do a game 7 like they have been cheated somehow. I want to wear a ribbon or something. I wonder if NBA.com has a place to buy a souvenir?
Nothing is more American than a German star claiming a trophy made by Tiffany for a sport invented by a Canadian.
It has to be a bummer for LeBron as he is booed when he lost the playoff and then goes home to Cleveland and be booed for getting into the playoff.
The great thing about the NBA is that a short white guy who can’t run or jump will determine the outcome of a season, so way to go David Stearn for putting the NBA in the brink of a lockout. It’s ironic that between Stearn and Roger Goodell the two most un-athletic men in America are going to be the biggest players in the offseason.
LeBron says in a Tweet “The greater man upstairs knows when it is my time”, really? Now he’s got to hear from Pat Riley before he wins it all?
Love LeBron saying his detractors will have to go back to their life of problems and he can continue to be himself. Nothing is more special than an overpaid athlete reminding the fans he lives better than him. I would be chocked up but I think the Heat player might have a monopoly on chocking.
Bigger wiener LeBron or Democratic politician Anthony… discuss.
Reporters are saying LeBron could learn from Dirk Nowizki after Dirk was criticized in losing the 2006 NBA Finals. The difference is Dirk stayed with his team and learned to become a leader whereas LeBron quit on both his teams and leads only in petulance.
Air Canada is on strike and to those who saw Vince Carter play in the post season you could say the nickname was already grounded.
Several police officers in southern Ontario's Niagara region have been caught cheating on exams that are part of the force's promotion process. This came as a shock as the officers say they thought being given the questions and answers in advance was a part of the Thin Blue Lie.
A man was shot 4 times and killed by Calgary Police after a domestic dispute. The man had his picture in the paper with him in Saskatchewan Roughrider clothing meaning he was a die-hard fan.
The Police Chief of Calgary quickly came out in support of the killing which is like the Canucks coach defending his player after an illegal hit.
A man in Quebec has written a new “National” anthem for Quebec called Oh Quebec. The anthem is a big hit with Separatists who have decried the lack of Federal funding for the song.

Canada has a bad decade
A cloud descended on Vancouver Wednesday and then the damn Canucks had to go and lose.
First it was Calgary in ’04, Edmonton in ’06 and now Vancouver in “11. All of them lost in the Stanley Cup final in 7 games. We been primed with gas about how Vancouver is our team for the past 4 months of playoff hockey and again we Canadians miss out on the celebration. Except for the75% of the roster that is Canadian and who play for Boston, it has been a year of heartrending pain for Canadian teams and their fans.
Remember the World Juniors? Ouch enough said! As an Oilers fan it was downhill after 10 games, same for the Senators really. Calgary tanked at the start and couldn’t make the playoffs despite a valiant run and Toronto… well… the Leafs played better in the last 20 games but they were out of the playoffs as a Christmas present to their fans. Even Montreal, who had a great team and whose fans would usually provide a source of great happiness when an English Canadian team loses in the finals, even the Quebecois were not happy. The fans of les Habitants hate Bruins even more than Canucks.
The loss by the Canadian women in the World hockey championships to the American team for the gold medal was surprising. I expected the Men’s team we sent to the Worlds to get beat but I always thought Canadian women could kick any ass. It could be just the women I have married.
Winnipeg finally gets a franchise and they don’t get Phoenix who has been in the playoffs for the past couple of years and has all the great draft picks and prospects. For 3 years people in Winnipeg have been watching, in wonder, as the team they thought they would get be the recipient of some unbelievable lottery luck, incredible free agent signings and trades. But when the time comes to get a team, they get Atlanta who hasn’t made the playoffs in forever. The small consolation is for Leaf fans who are now not the Canadian standard for ineptitude.
It should be noted hands down as the worst year of hockey ever for Canadian fans. Except for the Stanley cup winning Canadian players, coaches, their families and groupies, about the only Canadian who slept well on Wednesday was Don Cherry. Ironic doesn’t even begin to cover it. The guy who would bleed maple leaf if you cut him is happy the Bruins won.
It is the worst year in the history of Canadian hockey and I can’t wait until training camp starts in August so we can win them all next year.
