Curtis Joseph reached quite the milestone last night. He's the sixth goalie in league history to allow 2,500 goals. Congratulations, Cujo! In other news, Jason Spezza was caught cheating. Dude was using an illegal stick. The Sens have to cheat to win, spread the news. Current Record Last GamesSeason
I can understand Canada losing to Italy in soccer. In fact, I'd expect that. I'd also expect to lose to Italy in pizza dough throwing. As I type, however, Canada is losing to Italy in the World Baseball Classic at the ballpark formerly known as Skydome. That's unacceptable. It's the
I mentioned that I wanted to see The Wire. I had always heard good things, but I've read a couple of articles recently that made me realize this was my kind of show. Thanks to Andrew, who some of you may know from the comments, I have borrowed all five
I've already spilt a few beans about the 20th anniversary Humble and Fred podcast at Dominion on Queen, but now I'm able to spill another bean. Revealed for the first time, I'm going to tell you the date of this open recording you're all invited to attend. The date will
I took an economics class in high school, but all I remember from that course is the relationship between supply and demand. When it comes to personal finances, I let my wife handle it. I have many passions, but the economy and money don't make the list. I do, however,
I'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration. I'm submitting "Use Somebody" by Kings Of Leon. I'm a little behind with my SLS duties. All of Only by the Night is pretty awesome, but this is one of my favourite tracks.
YouTube user Retrontario frequently uploads fantastic retro-Toronto-centric gems. These clips never fail to bring back a ton of memories for me, so I feature them from time to time. Brian Linehan passed away almost five years ago. He hosted City Lights, a show I would watch because I found Linehan's
I was at this game, and I can tell you the Oiler fans were as loud, if not louder than the Leaf fans. It's only the second Oilers visit to the ACC since the lockout, and I think every transplanted Edmontonian in the city made it out last night. The
Last night was one of those once in a lifetime experiences you never forget. It's a story I'll be telling for some time. Last night, I was a very proud papa watching my son play on ACC ice in front of 18,000 spectators. I'm going to document everything here,
My son takes to the ice during tonight's Maple Leaf game at the ACC and I'm more nervous than he is. I don't think he fully comprehends how very cool this is. Not only will he see his first Leafs game, but he'll actually play a mini-game during the first
I'm watching the Netherlands trying to upset the Dominican Republic in World Baseball Classic action. Every time I see the World Baseball Classic logo, it reminds me of the Google Chrome logo. The World Baseball Classic started in 2006 while Chrome didn't get released until 2008. I put the logos
I want to watch The Wire. I understand there are five seasons and 60 episodes in total. From everything I've read, The Wire is right up my ally and I'm certain I'll love it. Here's a shot in the dark, but what the hell. Can anyone out there lend me
You can smell spring in the air. Today, Canada takes on the USA in WBC baseball action at the ballpark formerly known as SkyDome. The Blue Jays are playing spring training games in Florida and I'm getting excited about another season of slo-pitch. In this spirit on this fine Saturday
Remember when I told you the 20th Anniversary Humble and Fred Podcast was 99% for sure? It's now 100%. I'll tell you some of what I know, and I'll keep the rest of what I know a little closer to my chest. We'll record the podcast at Dominion on Queen,
I should just get over it and move on. It's been five years. Why do these things bother me so?. Five years ago today, I wrote about the Best of Hootie and the Blowfish. Watching this painful Leaf game, I needed a good laugh. I just got one.It seems
Colleen Howe was 73. She was the wife of hockey great Gordie Howe and one of the first female sports agents. Known as "Mrs. Hockey," Colleen Howe promoted the sport in her own right and stood outside her husband's shadow through her charitable work and success as a businesswoman and
When I returned to playing hockey after a 21-year absence, I bought myself a wooden stick for $9.99 at Canadian Tire. That stick lasted me until last Friday when it finally broke. When a wood stick lasts you almost five months, it's a good indication you don't have much
Over the past six weeks or so, I've been receiving spam calls on my Blackberry. These calls come from a number of phone numbers, all starting with 415-000. When I answer, the recording tells me the warranty on my car is about to expire. I know I'm not the only
Pete Seeger: The Power of Song: 8 out of 10. Pete Seeger: The Power of Song is one of three amazing music docs I've seen over the past six months. first there was Joy Division, then there was Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten and now there's Pete Seeger: The
I admit it. I'm wrong about a couple of things. Firstly, this is not the worst Leafs team in the history of the franchise. The Maple Leafs are 5-0-3 in their last eight, which won't get them into the playoffs, but will likely take them out of the John Tavares
It's all making sense now. I was baffled when the Toronto Maple Leafs picked up Martin Gerber, but I see now there's a method of Brian Burke's madness. Take a look at the custom crest they have Martin Gerber wearing here in Toronto.
In 1984, I played for a tee-ball team called the Sesquis. Swansea's Rennie Park created the team for that one summer only to commemorate Toronto's 150th birthday, or sesquicentennial if you will. It was March 6, 1834 that York was incorporated as the City of Toronto. That's 175 years ago

Please hold your laughter while I confess something. American Idol is appointment viewing in my household. In fact, it's the only show the entire family watches together. My kids absolutely adore this show, and it's a big deal to them that Mom and Dad watch it with them and critique
