Daft Draft

The NBA has hit a winner with their “NBA Cares” promotions showing players in a garden because if there is anything they know about it’s planting seeds

A Muslim cleric in Iran says scantily dressed women are causing earthquakes. I guess the outfits and actions of cheerleaders at the NBA playoffs are behind the eruption of the Icelandic volcano.

Paralympics curler Jim Armstrong was arrested at the Canada/US border and charged with trafficking in Viagra. Officials say they became suspicious when he didn’t have to hurry to be hard

Goldman Sacs is charged with creating an investment that they knew would fail and then promoting it to buyers as having a chance to be the best buy ever. They called the investment a “Maple Leaf” in honour of how the Toronto Maple Leafs put together their team each year and sell premium tickets knowing the product has no chance of winning

I now have to apologize to every guy who was unable to throw a ball well when I said they threw like a girl. I should have said they threw like a Danny boy.

A new nickname for Montreal Canadians goalie Jaroslav Halak after seeing more rubber than a racetrack... Shellak

The GM of the Miami Dolphins asked a college student before the draft if his mom was a prostitute during interviews. This was not a violation of policy but maybe he shouldn’t have followed up by asking how much for an around the world.

Research from a University in England has found the brain is hardwired to expect certain conditions. Taxi drivers anticipate traffic, sanitation engineers expect unpleasant odours and Leaf fans exopect to win the Stanley Cup.

The FIFA World Cup Trophy made a visit to Toronto ahead of this summer’s event. Organizers said they chose Toronto as the only Canadian stop as they have teams that scores less than most soccer games

i-sorry Tiki Tiger and Ben edition

In addition to not playing for the past 5 months Tiger was breaking in a new set of clubs and weaning himself off of being in clubs

The US Military is trying to repeal the `Don`t ask, don`t tell policy” so it was strange to see Daryl Sutter use it during his year end press conference

The Tampa Bay Lightning have fired their coach and GM an almost annual rite that is causing scientists to revise their earlier beliefs that lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice

Former NFL player Tiki Barber showed his ability to run behind blocking by announcing he will leave his 8 months pregnant wife for a 23 year old at the same time Tiger Woods was having a press conference. The success of the play will forever be copied by cheating, lying, and responsibility dodging athletes and will be known as the “Tiki Sneak”

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger held a press conference saying he would not talk about his allegations of sexual assault. The Police dropped the case after the accuser suddenly decided against pressing charges. Unlike Tiki Barber it seems Ben used the old “Buck stops her” method

You know you are a bit slow when Terry Bradshaw says you are acting like an idiot

The World are you Serious?

Dion Phaneuf has been named the most overrated player by his peers. The voting was restricted to players making $6.5 million for scoring 10 goals and being a minus player

The NCAA is trying to figure out what killed the TV ratings for the final game and it turns out like any good murder mystery the Butler did it.

Tiger Woods started his press conference saying the gallery for a practice round blew him away and no one asked if that was figurative or literal

Tiger said he did everything according to the letter of the law especially the XXX letters

Tiger says he has never took any illegal drugs not HGH, steroids, roofies, ganja, scag, chronic, diddlies and especially not disco biscuits.

Washington Wizards forward Gilbert Arenas will have to spend 2 days in jail as part of his 30 day sentence for gun possession. The 2 days are sort of a law enforcement version of the NBA shoot around warm-up

Loved hearing Jason Spezza break into the giggles which reminded us it is a game for men played by boys

QB Donovan McNabb has been traded from Philadelphia to Washington but won’t be forgotten by the team. Eagles chairman Jeffrey Lurie hopes Donovan will come back to be honoured as a Hall of Fame QB and does so while still being able to walk

Watching the Raptors makes you wonder if they are a sleeper playoff team or just a sleeper.

India has enacted sweeping reforms to their education system making it illegal to skip school for those under 12. This will be a blow to their families, the economy and more important to the release of the new Nike Air Rashid shoe

Lamb was in short supply this Easter weekend although a few sacrificial ones were being offered up by the Calgary Flames and Toronto Raptors

After nearly bouncing one to one catcher in the All Star game and tossing it over the head of another on opening day we can assume Little League wasn’t a pre-existing condition for President Obama

March Mattress

Showing how different East and West are? The Quebec Government is banning burkas from public offices and after getting shelled by the Boston Bruins Flames fans are asking to be allowed to wear them

Tiger Woods is having a “press conference” timed for the same day as the final in March Madness and to capitalize on the event he is calling it March of the Mattress

A Florida man was accidentally credited with $88 billion in his account. The error was discovered when the NHL did a credit check for another expansion team in Ft. Lauderdale

Statistics show Calgary had a slight increase in fuel consumption during Earth Hour but it was just the result of Flames fans smouldering over their pasting

President Obama may have failed in predicting his March Madness bracket but wealthy Americans lost more when he won the Health Care battle that increased their tax brackets

I wonder if the CD the NHL sent to teams to show the players what an illegal hit is has a soundtrack by the Talking Heads?

Russian to Blame

The Russian paper Pravda is accusing Team Canada of doping saying “Were they on drugs the day they beat Russia?” A spokesman for Team Canada was not surprised by the allegations as they have so much experience doping athletes they can’t help but be suspicious.

A report for the Saskatchewan Roughriders say a domed stadium will cost $380 million but they are waiting for someone to add up the numbers again just to be safe.

Top 5 signs Russia is unhappy with their Olympic results
# 5 Athletes get a 4 month layover in Siberia on the way to Moscow
# 4 Biathletes new training schedule involves coaches with guns
# 3 Water bottles now filled with water instead of vodka
# 2 New ski jump ramp ends at a cliff

Devoting a full day of your network to the NHL trade deadline...tens of thousands of dollars, make-up, hair dye and teeth whitener for the experts..... thousands of dollars... coffee and donuts hundreds of dollars... watching pundits spend hours debating if a 7th defenseman is worth a 4th or 5th round pick... priceless

Chad Ochocinco is defending his latest video of him running through a park naked saying it’s part of his application for Dangling with the Stars

Final Column

Korean skater Yuna Kim is a pop star in her country which is only fitting as their flag looks like the Pepsi logo

Competitors are calling Kevin Martin the Michael Jordan of curling except he doesn’t rock the rim he rolls it up

Having all the women figure skaters do a move that requires them to grab their leg, hold it over their head and glide around the ice surface seems inappropriate. I guess the IOC is concerned about gender identity and have incorporated the Chick Check as a way of verifying.

The Canadian women hockey players are being ripped after drinking and smoking a cigar following their gold medal win. Officials with the IOC were livid as it showed disrespect, set a bad example and used up party supplies reserved for them.

The scene is being hailed by the Taliban as an example of why women should not be allowed to play sports or be out in public and by adult film companies as the beginning of a really good movie.

The IOC is especially upset because after all the effort they went to prevent the little ladies from hurting themselves in ski jumping they go and do something that could have broke a nail.

The IOC might have to remove the women from Olympic hockey because there isn’t enough competition. Asked to explain why Nordic skiing, which has been consistently dominated by Countries such as Norway, Sweden and Finland, should not also be removed an official was indignant saying the men clearly had better genetics and when they win they share the cigars and liquor.

If women are not allowed to play then I just know Gary Bettman will refuse on the grounds of equal rights.

Top 5 signs your Winter Olympic sport may be cancelled
# 5 Uniforms have less than 50% sequins
# 4 No judges to influence the outcome
# 3 Relies on Gatorade instead of gunpowder
# 2 North Americans love it
# 1 You don’t need an interpreter to understand the rules

Blind Canadian Olympic skier Brian McKeever was denied a chance to become the 1st athlete to compete in both the Olympics and Paralympics when he was not included on the men’s 50 km relay race. Asked to comment McKeever says he never saw it coming

It took until overtime but finally Canada... it’s Miller Time!

Not sure where there was more elbowing at the Canada-US game or Jack Layton trying to get his face on TV at Gretzkys Bar in Toronto...

The PM has such massive powers so how come he couldn’t prorogue Nickleback from the closing ceremony?
