Parti On!

The Government of Myanmar has told the Canadian Government they don’t need help with their national disaster reminding them they have never said a word about the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Stephen Harper might not be forthcoming during Question Period but he did pretty well answering questions about the Russia Canada first period.

TSN wanted to have Don Cherry for the Canada Russia game but were stymied by Quebec language laws that state a public figure must know at least one of the official languages.

I thought all the whistling during the Canada Russia game was to show disapproval by European fans but it turned out to be Canadian men showing approval for the beautiful Quebec women.

The new Russian Hockey League says they will have a salary cap to avoid their dreams turning to ruble.

The Parti Québécois is claiming they have massive support for separation citing chants of “Go Canada Go” during the World Hockey Championships in Quebec City.

A documentary on Mike Tyson at the Cannes Film Festival was very well received with many heavy hitters in attendance.

It must have been a tossup after the Canada Russia game between playing Queens “We are the champions” or “Bohemian Rhapsody.

My favourite Russian right winger is a tie between Vladimir Putin and Alexander Ovechkin.

She Drives Men Crazy!

Watching Dancia Patrick at the Indy 500 qualifier I can see why her pit crew is head over heels for her.

Patrick is to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated while her pit crew is just taking cover.

After reviewing the video the NFL has determined the New England Patriots need to stop reviewing the video.

A memorabilia dealer says OJ Simpson told him he killed his wife and more disturbing he signed his name on the bodies.

85 members of the Baltimore Ravens were involved in a training camp brawl with the winners being sent to New York.

The persons responsible for the brawl were quickly punished as fortunately the New England Patriots had a video of it.

Da Da Da Da DADA...LeCharge!

A Quebec man has demanded the Federal Government force the Bell Centre in Montreal to play more French Music. I agree because nothing makes me more angry and emotional than listening to Celine Dion.

It will be tough on the fighters to get into it with "Voulez-vous vous chez avec moi" playing in the background.

Once of the difficulties is there are no French words for the song “Charge!”

Asked what he would do now that he no longer is Coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs Paul Maurice said he would spend some quality time away from the children.

Torch the Uniforms!

Not to say the new Canadian Olympic uniforms are ugly but they revealed the costumes on What Not to Wear.

After looking at the new uniforms I have a better idea for the Olympic Torch.

The clothing was mostly made with Chinese textiles because Canadian companies couldn’t meet the necessary requirement of lead.

You know the uniforms are ugly when Don Cherry called them “Classic”.

Former Olympic sprinter Tim Montgomery was arrested for trafficking in heroin a cut and dried case of drug running.

I thought Speed Racer was a cartoon but it turned out to be a career choice for Tim Montgomery.

Montgomery was denied bail with the judge saying he was concerned the sprinter might try and make a break away from the pack.

For the second year in a row the Montreal Alouettes have selected a player in the College draft that is injured and not likely to play professionally. Team officials say in hindsight they should have noticed something was wrong when the game films of the player were sent from a Hospital.

Officials with Indian cricket teams have banned scantily clad cheerleaders saying it is offensive, disrespectful and forces fans to stay awake during 36 hour games.

Dennis Rodman has denied reports he assaulted his girlfriend saying at best it was a hard foul.

Dennis was upset with his girlfriend when he found out she was secretly trying on his wedding dress.

How seriously can you take Roger Clemens when he denies using performance enhancing drugs in the same press release where he denies having affairs with 3 other women?

The website used to sell Olympic tickets in China has crashed with officials blaming the problems on protesters, subversives and poor upgrades to its Windows ’95 system.

Packman Jones has put his house up for sale and here I thought he lived at a strip mall.

Dallas Stars goaltender Marty Turco faced 61 shots in an overtime victory or as the Italian goalie called it, a slow first period.

Roger and Me and Me and Me and....

A convicted steroid dealer says NFL players use a hair loss drug to confuse drug tests called Head and Shoulders and Biceps and Abs.

Roger Clemens is denying reports he had a decade long affair with country singer Mindy McCready saying he just likes her music especially the song “You’ll never know”.

Roger says he wanted to break off the relationship with Mindy but was worried his dog wouldn’t come back and he’d lose his truck and mobile home.

Plate umpire Kerwin Danley broke his jaw after being hit with a foul ball and was reported to be unconscious but coherent a common complaint against umpires.

Alex Ovechkin required over $700,000 insuring his contract to play in the World Hockey Championship $500,000 of which was designated for dental work.

The Tennessee Titans traded Packman Jones to Dallas for a conviction to be named later.

I am confused is Grand Theft Auto a video game, the ongoing Formula 1 espionage scandal or when Dancia Patrick wins a race?

After signing a contract for $126 million Barry Zito has been assigned to the bullpen making him the most expensive set-up man since Dean Martin.

The Toronto Raptors were sent to the sidelines after losing their fifth straight playoff series or as the Maple Leafs call it an enviable record.

The owners of the Toronto Maple Leafs are said to be interested in purchasing an English Soccer club saying they feel confident they can export their losses overseas.

Soccer star Ronaldo is denying he knew the prostitutes he picked up were transvestites saying when he heard they played for a different team he thought that meant Chelsea.

The NFL Draft was a rousing success with the players selected passing every test except apparently their English exams.

The CFL Draft is like being chosen to work in fast food; you are happy to be making some money but really wanted a shot at something meaningful.

The Toronto Blue Jays have spent $7 million buying out the contract of Frank Thomas, the Raptors are thinking of releasing Coach Sam Mitchell and guard TJ Ford and the Leafs are looking to shed salaries from their team. The new recruiting slogan for Toronto teams will be “If at first you don’t succeed we will buy out, buy out again”.

Organizers of the British Open say they will wait a year to institute drug testing saying it will take the pressure off some of the golfers to hit the cup.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders and Montreal Alouettes are fighting the decision to penalize them for going over the CFL’s salary cap saying no one told them the coupons they used had an expiry date.

The NHL has formed a committee to look into goaltender equipment saying they want to keep down the rate of inflation.

Sean Avery was sent to Hospital with a lacerated spleen surprising everyone who thought he would have gall related problems.

How ironic is it that Sean Avery who skates around the ice venting his spleen at other players was hospitalized because his became lacerated?

It was reported Avery had a heart attack and passed out it turned out to be TSN “expert” Mike Millbury who now has nothing to say.

The CFL held its draft on the internet where there were surprise picks, blockbuster trades and the chance to help out a Nigerian Oil Minister move some of his assets.

Calgary Hitman Karl Alsner won the best defenseman award in Jr. Hockey despite taking only 10 minutes in penalties or less than the average shift of the old New Westminster Bruins team.

First it was Dancia Patrick winning an IRL race then Ashley Force became the first woman to win a national Funny Car Event and now Hillary Clinton is trying to rear end Barack Obama at the finish line.

It would be nice to see the Saskatchewan Roughriders have a home-grown quarterback but I have been informed by my girlfriend Teale doesn’t go with Green.

Golf swing coach Butch Harmon apologized to John Daley for quitting after hearing he had spent time drinking during a rain delay and then quit again after seeing pictures of him with his shirt off.

Albert Hofmann who discovered LSD died this week and in a final interview regretted people never appreciated what the drug could do saying “If you take enough acid, the drafting record of Mike Millbury makes perfect sense”.

The NBA chose Kevin Durant as its rookie of the year and in a surprise twist he accepted the award in Oklahoma wearing a cowboy hat.

With Seattle and Oklahoma fighting over the NBA team will next year’s players be drinking Starbucks or listening to Buck Stars?

The Kentucky Derby has 1 filly and 19 males in the race or as the NBA calls it room service.

Canadian Olympic Athletes have been given a smog filter they can use at the Games in Beijing and while waiting to catch the plane in Toronto.

Reports are surfacing that Roger Clemens has been having sex with multiple women including some who are underage. The news has been greeted with relief from Hall of Fame voters saying they can finally put up his accomplishments alongside other greats of the game.

With Roger flying around with multiple women in his plane are we sure they tested for the right performance enhancing drugs?

Father Knows Best

I saw a TV Show with a bunch of old white men in funny clothes praying for divine intervention and wasn’t sure if it was about the Pope’s visit or the Masters coverage.

The Pope used his address at Yankee Stadium to once again confront the allegations of sexual abuse apologizing to ball boys everywhere.

I thought the Pope picked an interesting place to talk about the evils of contraception, standing on the pitchers rubber.

The UFC says 21,000 fans prove the UFC should be allowed in Canada and begs the question how many tickets would we need to sell to get Gladiators back?

Dancia Patrick won a Formula 1 race when the leading drivers had to pit but who among us wouldn’t run out of gas with Dancia?

By releasing Frank Thomas and having to pay him nearly $7 million to not play I guess it’s the bottom line that gets the big hurt.

Watching the fake Gladiator open their pre-game ceremony was it really necessary for the Ottawa Senators to hire an actor to fall on the sword?

After being caught on a Nazi-Bondage tape F-1 head Max Mosley says he will retire in 2009 because he has a few loose ends to tie up.

Former Tour de France champion Jan Ullrich agreed to pay a fine of over $1 million to settle allegations of drug charges which will require him to pedal a lot of steroids.

I guess the charges against Ullrich were pumped up after all.

If the US Government would just fine the athletes who are guilty of taking illegal drugs they could probably pay off the national debt.

Mike Millbury of the Toronto Sports Network (TSN) says Alex Ovechkin is playing like a dog and if anyone knows how to spot and sign dogs it’s him.

They should call him “Mute” because it’s what we do to the TV when he comes on.

The LA Lakers will be playing the Denver Nuggets in the NBA playoffs which means Kobe Bryant can join the mile high club on the way to the mile high city.


The last time Kobe spent any time in Denver he was charged with harassment so I guess his wife is shopping for more diamonds.

Harry Sindon says his star defenseman Zdeno Chara has a rib injury and also told his daughter’s date she gets really friendly after a few drinks.
