I'm submitting a song for SLS20 consideration. I'm submitting "Graves" by Tokyo Police Club. Instead of telling you why I'm submitting "Graves" for SLS consideration, I'm going to blow your mind with an amazing fact about this Elephant Shell album by Newmarket's Tokyo Police Club.

The Bourne Ultimatum: 8 out of 10. Like most of you, I enjoyed the Jason Bourne trilogy based on Robert Ludlum's books. I really liked The Bourne Identity, didn't like The Bourne Supremacy as much, and I think The Bourne Ultimatum might just be the best of the bunch. And
It was well over a year ago that I first wrote about Let's All Hate Toronto, a documentary that pokes fun at the fact all of Canada outside the GTA seems to dislike those of us in the capital of the universe. I loved the title, and I loved the
"They spent their own dough to get here, and they came here to see us! All right, let's show 'em what we got, guys! Get out there on the ice and let 'em know you're there. Get that fuckin' stick in their side. Let 'em know you're there! Get that

Paul Newman was 83. He was the legendary film star whose brilliant blue eyes, good looks, cool style and talent made him one of Hollywood's top actors over six decades. He appeared in more than 50 movies, including "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"
The popcorn is popping and the kids are off to bed, I'm watching Obama v. McCain tonight. I'm not sure why I'm bothering, I may as well just watch the end of the Leafs game. You see, according to an ad in the online edition of the Wall Street Journal
Ralph Sazio was 86. He won three Grey Cups as a coach with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and served as Toronto Argonauts' team president from 1981 to 1990.

I'm crazy busy with a couple of web projects, but I wanted to throw down my little observation about our Toronto Blue Jays and complete games by starting pitchers. Roy Halladay won his 20th game of the season yesterday, and it was his 9th complete game. That's pretty amazing for
Leave it to David Letterman to tell it like it is. Last night, his scheduled guest bailed. Letterman let John McCain have it in typical Letterman style.
Those who Google Bill Barilko usually end up at my tribute to Bashin' Bill. Here's the summary I wrote for that page. It was April 21st, 1951, game 5 of the Stanley Cup final between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens. At the 2:53 mark of the
Let's take the pulse of Toronto's blogosphere. I'm breaking blogs into three categories: best independent blog, best professional/media blog and best Toronto Mike blog. That last one is a little biased, so we'll start with it. Here are five blogs I'd like to recognize because they're run by frequent
I realize Luke Schenn's NHL career has just entered its fifth period of preseason play, but I've seen all I need to see. Luke Schenn is Scott Stevens. And no, I'm never wrong about such things.
I'm featuring 1988 Topps Cards featuring members of my beloved Blue Jays that are featured on this blog. In an effort to preserve brain cells, here's what I once wrote about Sil Campusano when commenting on Juan Beniquez' card. Does anyone remember the rookie who was supposed to start in

Humble Howard has invited me to sit in with the new EZ Rock morning show. It should be a crowded room as I join Humble, Kim Stockwood, Colleen Rusholme and Rick Hodge. I'm going to sit in and live blog the show, assuming they can throw my laptop on the
I've always loved milk. It's pretty much been my drink of choice for as long as I can remember. Growing up, we always had plenty of 2% milk in the fridge, so as an adult I stuck with what I knew. Our house goes through 8 litres of milk a
I'm submitting a song for SLS20 consideration. I'm submitting "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. This tune has had a very interesting year. It was released on iTunes back in February, it got my attention shortly thereafter when I read about MTV's refusal to air the video with the gunshots
Vegas Geoff actually wrote me last night all exited that our AAA farm team would be playing in his backyard. I was surprised we couldn't find an affiliate closer to Toronto than the Las Vegas 51's. Forever, Syracuse has been home to our AAA team, but the Syracuse Chiefs ended
Four years ago today, I threw together a little sports wishlist. There were five items on my wishlist, and here they are. We'll revisit the five again after the flashback. The following are my current sports wishes in no particular order.I wish Vince Carter would stop being such a
Technorati is releasing their State of the Blogosphere 2008 this week. I find this very interesting, as you can imagine, especially their statement "Blogs are Profitable". The majority of bloggers we surveyed currently have advertising on their blogs. Among those with advertising, the mean annual investment in their blog is
I'm featuring 1988 Topps Cards featuring members of my beloved Blue Jays that are featured on this blog. In an effort to preserve brain cells, here's what I once wrote about Pat Borders in June of 2006. Pat Borders has finally retired at the age of 43. That means Mike
Eddie Vedder feels about the Chicago Cubs the way I feel about the Toronto Maple Leafs. It's in his blood, and he holds out hope, despite never seeing a championship in his lifetime. Eddie wrote a great song for his team called "All the Way". I've embeded it below. As
"Barracuda" is a rockin' little tune from Heart's 1977 LP Little Queen. The Republican Party has been using it as Sarah Palin's theme song of sorts. Heart is more than a little pissed about this. Heart sent a cease and desist letter to McCain's camp, but they're still playing the
