35% of professional Rugby player are currently on the injured reserve list and supporters are demanding answers as to why the remaining 65% are such pussies.
Fun fact... there were more players on the Riders Taxi Squad than actual Taxis in Calgary for the Grey Cup.
I thought it was an Atlanta Braves thing but it looks like the Florida Panthers are using the Tomahawk Chop

Fore... play!
You know it was a Canadian University Championship football game when the host is Quebec featuring teams from Alberta and Ontario and yet most of the people in the crowd were wearing green.
Traffic was snarled in Calgary for Grey Cup weekend with a sudden snowfall. Vehicles moved much quicker once fans of the Riders took the watermelons off their heads and used them for traction on the icy roads.
So a story in the tabloids linking Tiger Woods to an affair lands in the newsstand the same week he has a car accident running into a tree on his property and his wife just happens to have a golf club to free him from the vehicle. Wow what luck!
The club Tigers wife used to get him out of the car? A free Woods.
Tiger Woods wife is like most new golfers... once she hits the dimples it goes a few yards then ends up in the trees...
Police became suspicious when a Tweet from Tigers wife told her friends she was going out clubbing
LFL star Krystal Gray was in Saskatoon for a Grey Cup appearance and challenged men to a throwing contest after seeing all of the passes made to her fall short
After being an asset all year who would have thought the Riders 13th man would cost them the Grey Cup.
A huge traffic jam on the #1 Highway leading into Calgary resulted when Winnebago’s clogged up the roads leading to McMahon Stadium after hearing Snowbirds were to do a pass over
At the end of the Game none of the players would name the culprit and so sales of the Rider Jersey “I am the 13th man” quickly sold out... and the line was used often on LFL star Krystal Gray at the after game party...
Children in Saskatchewan learning the basics of football now have a new competition the Punt/Pass/Kick and Count.
Top 5 signs you have too many men on the field
# 5 The down lineman has a Pilsner hat on
# 4 You have to take off both shoes to count them all
# 3 One players is wearing number .08
# 2 There is a fight to see who will snap the ball
# 1 You manage to disappoint both the Rider Nation and your elementary school math teacher
I told my GF I wouldn’t wash my Rider shirt again until they won the Grey Cup and she was surprised I had ever washed it

Party Pooper
A report from Health Canada concludes teenage girls actively seek out situations where they suffer angst. This report is being studied by officials with the Toronto Maple Leafs who plan to unveil a 3rd pink jersey.
Montreal has been hit with a series of bombings with Police saying it could be mob related or fans are preparing for a Grey Cup victory.
Top 5 signs your Grey Cup party is a bust
# 5 Half time lingerie football game features contestants from the Biggest Loser
# 4 The food is green and you’re cheering for the Alouettes
# 3 The beer supply has more imports than non imports
# 2 Matt Dunigan shows up to do the play by play
# 1 Nobody touches the special “Horsemeat Hash” tribute to Calgary
You have to wonder why any fan from Saskatoon would be coming to Calgary when LFL star Krystal Grey is there.
New Brunswick has said no to sponsor the Olympic torch relay for a cost of $1.5 million saying they can’t justify the expense. Olympic official were livid noting this may result in IOC members having to eat local caviar.
I guess Brian Burkes straight talk only works on the players.
It looks like Jesse Lumsden might be the most valuable addition to a sled since Rudolph.

Grrreeeaaattt!
Andre Agassi says he used crystal meth in his tennis career. And I thought they survived on Crystal Lite like their commercials said.
With both starting pitchers in the World Series former Cleveland Indians shouldn’t the City get some bragging rights?
A major goalie controversy has erupted in Montreal with Halak now having to carry Price.
Rogers Communication, owners of the Toronto Blue Jays, extended the contract of Paul Beason the 1st step in a rebuilding project scheduled to take minutes.
Rogers was denying rumours of an impending sale saying they receive almost 26% of their mobile communication divisions’ revenues from people texting “Jays Suck”.
A major breakthrough in limb replacement surgery has NFL officials excited about increasing the number of regular season games.
Not sure which story is getting the most coverage the H1N1 or the Leafs won, Leafs won!
It was 50 years ago the 1st goalie dared to wear a mask in a NHL contest changing the game forever as the object now was to knock off the mask.
Dr.’s are saying marijuana can be successful in removing hemorrhoids and was confirmed by every pro athlete that has spent serious time on the bench.
In the grand scheme of promotion how sad is it when the NHL is in a legal battle against one of the greatest players ever over money?
How can we thank Gary Betman for turning the simple pleasure of remembering Wayne Gretzky as the great one replace with him having to hire a great lawyer to save his reputation and money?

I be Leaf
It was a tough week for sports broadcasting networks with TSN getting flack for blacking out the Calgary/Saskatchewan game in Calgary and CBC being lambasted because they aired the Leaf game.
Because of the blackout I had to listen to the Stampeder radio coverage which had a few stutters in their play by play.
At 1st TSN said the blackout was a mistake but later they said it was an elections rule because it was felt Roughrider Chris Czarka, who is running for Alderman in Regina, would get an unfair advantage with the voters partying in Calgary.
A battle for the slums of Rio de Janerio, which resulted in cars and building being set alight, has Olympic officials questioning the Countries security. A spokesman for the Rio games was unconcerned saying the incident was just an Olympic torch rehearsal.
An autopsy is underway to discover the cause of death after an acrobat with the Cirque de Soleil fell to his death. Opinions vary as to whether it was the fall or the sudden stop at the bottom.
After taking a 30% pay raise last year the Alberta Conservatives reduced their salary by 5% and called it even. This is the type of accounting that Gary Bettman wants to see from potential owners of the Coyotes.
Calgary Transit refused to run posters for an art show featuring pictures of a giant baby on their train and bus lines which explains why advertisements for the TO Show were nixed as well.
An exhibit featuring parts of the Dead Sea Scrolls arrived in Canada and officials with the exhibit hope to have Chris Chelios supply some of the missing words.
I’m undecided if I should invest in Canada Savings Bonds, Alberta Savings Bonds or a Barry Bonds autograph.
Wouldn’t you know it? Just when watching the Leafs is fun HNIC says they may pull some of their games because they are not competitive. The only person who can remember when they were competitive was Foster Hewitt.
If the umpires keep making mistakes in the baseball playoffs they will soon be eligible for a bailout.
Will Leaf fans be given the H1N1 flu shot 1st as they seem to be getting sick almost dally?
My girlfriend says she would watch a lot more hockey if they would adopt the strip shoot out for each game.
The US Government is reducing bonuses paid to companies that almost destroyed the economy but a spokesman for the Leafs say Brian Burke will still get his.

Lights...camera...
Montreal Canadians George Laroque says he is ashamed after starring in a commercial featuring lingerie clad women playing street hockey. Laroque says he donated the money to animal awareness and I guess buying the women furs made them aware.
Isn’t giving the Nobel Prize to President Obama like giving Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke this year’s award for best executive in the NHL?
There is a precedent for giving President Obama the Nobel based on potential it’s called being the 1st round pick in the NFL draft.
The NFL had some objections to Rush Limbaugh as an owner, things like racism, polarization of political views and past drug abuse. The only reason he was considered at all is the NFL originally thought he wanted to be a player.
Limbaugh says he is the victim of a vast left wing conspiracy so maybe he knows enough about hockey to buy the Coyotes.
I hope they get the new building in Quebec City built before Gary Bettman figures out the city is still in Canada.
A startling report says the Arctic may be free of ice in 20 years. This prompted Gary Bettman to say if there is no ice and they build a rink they could have a shot at an NHL franchise.
As an investor I’m torn as to what will appreciate more... stocks that are rising despite the dismal job numbers or an autographed Vessa Toscula jersey?
The Toronto Argonauts want to play a home game in Moncton, the Buffalo Bills are playing home games in Toronto which has cause tourism officials in Toronto to unveil a new slogan... “Toronto a place to call someone else’s home”
More abused... Theo Fleury or Maple Leaf fans... discuss.
Canada received yet another slight from our American neighbours this week with the release of Theo Fleurys’ book. Where are all the Hollywood actors lining up to defend Graham James? I’m sure if you search his stuff there will be a film.
