Last night we played our first game since my precious declaration. I feared the raw numbers had begun to consume us and the only way I was going to play ball again was if I manually removed the focus on these figures. For what it's worth, I went 3-4 with

Marc has won the pool, taking home all of our hard earned money. Well, he doesn't get it all, Ryan gets to keep his for finishing a strong second. It's worth noting that Marc won in 2004 when he actually accumulated 22 less points. It's the new NHL, baby! We'll
I'm a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. I always have been and I always will be. I last watched my team play on April 18 when we beat the Penguins 5-3. That was over two months ago. The next night, eleven of us got together to draft our annual playoff pool.
Music Videos From the 80's :: Over 1,400 Videos - This is a pretty cool collection. The more I revisit the 80s the more I fear it was a solid decade of crap. At least 99% of it was crap. "So Alive" from Love and Rockets was pretty good though,
Extortr - This is an amazing idea. Unfortunately, the most efficient way to blackmail in the world is only a joke... so far.
Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in iTunes and list the first ten songs that play. Here are the ten tunes I heard today with a personal story about one of them. Ton of Joy - Otis ReddingI Stand Alone - GodsmackCrying - Roy OrbisonNew York Town -
Friday Night Lights: 9 out of 10. I attended several high school football games, usually my Michael Power Trojans taking on our arch rivals, the St. Michael's College Kerry Blues. What I saw then and what you see in "Friday Night Lights" are two completely different animals. In Texas, high
During the 1941-42 NHL regular season, the Toronto Maple Leafs went 27-18-3, finishing second to the New York Rangers. Because things were done quite a bit differently back then, we actually faced the Rangers in the semi-finals, beating them 4 games to 2. That put is in the finals against

As a teen, I was too dumb and too ignorant to appreciate The Velvet Underground and subsequent work by Lou Reed. In 1996 I watched "Trainspotting", one of the few movies that ever made it into my DVD collection, and based on a single viewing of this great flick, I

Father's Day is completely redundant and unnecessary in my house. As corny as this is going to sound, every day is Father's Day. James and Michelle make me feel like a billion dollars each and every day with a big hug and kiss and the sincerest "I love you Daddy"
Watching that first pre-season game, Damon Allen looked like our only hope for success and Spergon Wynn looked horrible. Apparently, Wynn's got some win in him because he threw two touchdown passes in a big Argonaut win when it matters. When it didn't matter in the pre-season, Hamilton beat us
Fifty-eight days later, it all comes down to one game. Tomorrow night, an entire nation will tune in CBC and root for the Oil to come all the way back from a 3-1 game deficit. Edmonton scored four goals last night, but Pronger didn't get a single point. That's bad

Remember a few weeks ago when we all read and heard about the Bryan McCabe signing? I interpreted it as a done deal as it was widely reported as a done deal. There may have been a gentleman's agreement between McCabe and Feguson, but nothing has been signed. In today's

Pat Borders has finally retired at the age of 43. That means Mike Timlin is the only active player to have played in a World Series game for the Toronto Blue Jays. Timlin is 40 years old and 3-0 for the Boston Red Sox thus far in 2006. Borders was
