Sports fans will be happy with this weekend.  Here's hoping the Celtics beat the Heat and Ireland wins Euro 2012. Feel free to discuss the Euro, NBA, NHL or skip right over to the Toronto council's decision to ban plastic bags from stores in 2013.  I happen to like the

I haven't seen The Avengers yet, but I'll bet you have.  I hear it's pretty good, but it can't possibly be as good as this Open Mike. It was a quieter week in the city.  Our mayor didn't mug a single reporter, the 2nd round of the NHL playoffs is

May the Fourth be with you.  On this fine Star Wars Day, let's have some good, clean fun with an Open Mike. Discuss anything you want.  And if you have a question, I'll drop by throughout the day to answer questions.

As March roars to a close and April beckons, let's talk about.... anything, so long as it's not hockey related.  Hockey comments can go here. You may, however, discuss the Blue Jays... or the budget... or the weather.  Go nuts.

It's the March Break. That likely doesn't mean anything to you unless you have kids in primary school. Here in Tank Nation all the buzz is about robo calls, Kony, Sid and Rob Ford's Cut the Waist challenge. Just kidding about that last one... What's on your mind?

Did March come in like a lion? I honestly couldn't tell. This feels like March because the Leafs are preparing for the golf course and yesterday I thought about whether I need new baseball cleats. What's on your mind?

These be the dog days of summer, yo.  Give me some of that sugar... Sugar, for your rookies, is interesting comments.  A thought, an opinion, a commentary, a response, an engagement... that's sweet, sweet sugar. Pour some sugar on me!

I could use a weekend.  Lucky for me, one is only hours away. Use the comments of this entry to discuss that, or anything you want. Or ask me anything... I'm really smart. But don't forget, Def Leppard and Heart tickets are going to someone at 4pm.  Go here to
