Catching Up

It was in keeping with his faith when Tim Tebow lost on Sunday. Christians have never fared well against Lions.


The good news I was offered a position at a major US University…bad news it was ball boy for Penn State.

Michigan State and North Carolina played the 1st ever College game on an Aircraft Carrier, the USS Carl Vinson. The game was relatively free of problems although it made the tailgate party a little wetter than usual.

Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos was kidnapped from his home in Venezuela which has MLB officials in a dilemma. Do they join the investigation or use Venezuela as a place to send players like Adam Dunn?

Being a Roughrider fan this year is tough because people want to know who you are cheering for now that breaking the QB’s foot is complete. Winnipeg? Screw them they got the Jets and a cool logo, Calgary has the Flames and Cowboys so forget them and Edmonton has Ft. McMurray. Guess I’ll have to go with a true western team Hamilton.


Ken Miller has stepped down as Coach and VP of Operations for the Sask. Roughriders. Ken said he would like to stay but he is getting to an age where he is not so much interested in what players do on the field as keeping punks off his lawn.


Kim Kardashian is cancelling her marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries which was a surprise to Kris as he felt he was giving her sufficient backcourt pressure. No word on how it will affect her show but we ET in an exclusive worldwide interview with Kim, says she will try to keep the divorce private


Phoenix Coyotes forward Raffi Torres is being criticized for wearing blackface while dressed as rapper Jay-Z at a Halloween party. Torres begged forgiveness saying he was Canadian and didn’t know there were any white rappers.
