Last week I wrote about the fact my brother Steve scored two tickets to see Conan O'Brien tape his Late Night talk show here in Toronto. Guess who's getting the second ticket? Yours truly. I think this will be a very cool experience. I'm going to Thursday's taping and I'll
High protein/low carb diets are all the rage these days. Dr. Robert C. Atkin's praised such a diet back in 1972 and recently his theories have been validated by some credible studies. Every week we're reading about another chain restaurant introducing low or no carb menu items to satisfy

Do any of you drive on the 400 series highways around Toronto? Driving along the 401 Westbound past the Allen Expressway these days I encounter a series of pot holes that better resemble giant craters. These suckers are awfully deep and awfully wide. I've also been encountering a series of
World heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has announced his retirement from professional boxing. Lewis leaves with a 41-1-2 record, and is the first reigning world heavyweight champion to quit since Rocky Marciano in 1956. Lennox Lewis dominated heavyweight boxing waving the Union Jack for his native Britain. Canadians will be quick
Holy shit! Down 4-0 to the Sens last night at the Corel Centre there was no chance the Maple Leafs were taking home two points. Not a prayer. Chalk the loss on the board and stick a fork in this puppy it's done like dinner. But wait...something awesome happened.

I'm a hoser, eh! SCTV gave us Bob and Doug McKenzie and The Great White North. Hosers were liberated once and for all. I've never felt so free thanks to these trail blazers. As a true hoser, I never leave home without my hoser ID tucked away safely in my
The Blackhawks have a horrible road record and hadn't beaten a team from the Northeast division this season. The Maple Leafs outshot them last night by a 44-15 margin. All of the above suggest the Leafs should have won handily last night, but they didn't. We'll file this one in
Jamaal Magloire was named to the Eastern Conference all-star team this afternoon. The Toronto native is now the second Canadian ever selected to play in the NBA all-star game following Steve Nash who was selected twice. He's averaging a career-high 11.7 points and 9.4 rebounds a game this

RE: Your "Boobies" Blog I think the issue here is the appropriateness of Janet Jackson's breast exposure considering the fact that the Superbowl has a wide audience that includes children. Nudity

As we all know by now, Justin Timberlake had the audacity to rip Janet Jackson's dress during the Super Bowl half-time show yesterday, exposing her right breast. Everyone is claiming this was an unplanned accident, but we know better. I just read the Federal Communications Commission has released a statement
Super Bowl Commercials - This link will be most appreciated by my fellow Canadians who missed out on all the good Super Bowl commercials Americans were watching on CBS. Instead, we enjoyed some fine promos for Mike Bullard and Train 48 on Global TV. Be sure to watch the very
If there's a more useless day than Groundhog Day, I've yet to hear about it. Every year on this day we hear whether some special groundhog saw his shadow or not as if this information will tell us how many weeks of winter we can expect. As silly as it
