While catching up on the news of the day, I just learned the 2004 Weblog Award Winners were announced today. I didn't win an award, but I did visit the blogs of those who did win. I'm less than impressed. For example, the Best Canadian Blog went to a site
I was in the car when NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman held his news conference this afternoon. His words, "the unanimous conclusion was the union's proposal does not work", pierced my heart and soul like a series of poisonous daggers. Buckle up boys and girls, this is going to be a

The Golden Globe nominations were announced earlier today. You can view the full list of nominees here. Once again, I'm in the dark. I haven't seen any of the Dramas nominated for best picture and I've only seen one of the Musical Or Comedy nominees. It's nice to see Uma
The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to announce the signing of Canadian third-baseman Corey Koskie later today. Koskie, 31, was born in Anola, Manitoba. I'm always happy when a Canadian player comes home to play, and Koskie is a pretty good hitter, but he's no Carlos Delgado and he can't

Tupac: Resurrection: 6.5 out of 10. Tupac Shakur stuffed a lot into his twenty five years of life. Of course, he's been even busier since being gunned down, releasing more albums since his death than while he was alive and narrating this pretty good documentary on his life. I'm

Jean-Sebastien Aubin made 28 saves for his first shutout in a St. John's jersey as the Maple Leafs blanked the Portland Pirates 2-0 last night. Brendan Bell's goal with 26 seconds left in the first period stood as the winner and Brad Leeb added an insurance marker for the Leafs.
