Speaking of the Hockey Hall of Fame, this year's crop of inductees is pretty awesome.  Entering the hall on Monday are: Mark MessierAl MacInnisScott StevensRon FrancisAll four could suit up for the Leafs on Saturday night in the Hall of Fame game against the New York Rangers.  I'll be at

Eric Lindros is announcing his retirement today.  This begins the debate as to whether The Big E is Hall of Fame worthy.  Damien Cox says he is, I say he isn't. I was always a big Lindros fan.  During a mid-90s draft of our annual playoff pool, I had quite

First there was anger.  I blame Wade Phillips.  The Music City Miracle was only made possible because Rob Johnson started instead of Doug Flutie.  Hurt by the NFL, I found comfort in the organic beauty of the CFL and fully embraced the Argos. Last season I didn't watch a single

On Saturday there was a little NCAA Division III game between Trinity and Millsap in Mississippi. I just have three letters to add to this video.  W.O.W.

A couple of goals this past week really got my attention.  These goals are both drenched in skill and quite creative, and neither were scored by Leafs. Rick Nash Between The LegsJonathan Toews' Dekerama

I love baseball.  I always have.  There's something so damn romantic about this timeless game, the thrill of the grass, the crack of the bat, young Mike sending his vibes to Exhibition Stadium in the hopes that George Bell would get a hit.  It's a beautiful sport to play and

Lenny Kravitz will perform during the halftime show at the Grey Cup in Toronto next month.  The 95th annual Grey Cup is November 25 at the domed stadium formerly known as Skydome. I think Kravitz is an ideal headliner.  People of all ages like the guy, and he attracts interest

We're down to four teams in the chase for the World Series, and I know who I'm rooting for.  I'm backing the Colorado Rockies. When the Blue Jays are eliminated, picking a team usually forces me to examine three factors.  Do the Jays have a history with the team, are

The 2007/2008 regular season is underway and the Leafs play their first game on Wednesday night against our good buddies from Ottawa Kanata.  Since I was waxing nostalgic about the old Blue Jays logo yesterday, I thought I'd kick off this NHL season by ranking the current NHL team

They said he wouldn't walk again, but Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett has made amazing progress if I'm to believe this footage. Seeing is believing.  It's nothing short of a miracle.

One of my favourite blogs is Stat of the Day which today has a nice little write up about John Paciorek.  44 years ago today, John Paciorek played his one and only major league baseball game for the Houston Colt .45's. He got to the plate 5 times that day,

I just read that Canada failed to win a match at the Rugby World Cup for the first time.  We got walloped 37-6 by Australia earlier today and I don't care.  Rugby is in my C bucket of sports which means I really don't care how Canada fares unless we

Check out this magic moment from the Mets ~ Braves game.  I've never seen this happen and I doubt we'll see it again.

The following entry was presented to me by Easton and I agreed to post it in exchange for some sweet Easton gear.  It actually is some good information for those of you loading up on hockey equipment, and in this city, that's just about everybody. Choosing the right hockey stick

The Waterloo Warriors beat the University of Toronto Varsity Blues 42-17 yesterday.  That was the University of Toronto's 42nd loss in a row, only five away from York's CIAU record for consecutive losses. You're not going to believe this, but this team used to be good.  In fact, I was

I haven't caught any Toronto FC action yet, but I'm always proud when a Toronto-based professional sports franchise sets a league record.  In their inaugural season, Toronto FC has already set a new standard for Major League Soccer. Our 1-0 loss to D.C. United last night gives us the

When you compare and contrast the way we view our national basketball team with the way we view our national hockey teams, it's more than a little shocking.  The FIBA Americas Olympic Qualification tournament starts today for our men's basketball team as we try and qualify for the 2008 Olympics

Barry Bonds sent a 3-and-2 pitch from Washington Nationals left-hander Mike Bacsik last night 435 feet for homerun #756 passing Hank Aaron and becoming the new Major League Baseball home run king. Hank Aaron's video congratulations was drenched in class.

I'm not fanatical about my disinterest in soccer.  Some who dislike the sport are passionate about their hatred and exert a great deal of energy ripping into devotees.  That's not me, I never played the sport and therefore never developed an interest.  Now, I think it's just too late for

Off a 91 mph fastball from San Diego Padre pitcher Clay Hensley in the 2nd inning last night at Petco Park.

Barry Bonds hasn't even caught Hank Aaron yet but baseball fans are already wondering if Alex Rodriquez will be the next home run king.  A-Rod just hit his 500th earlier today and he just turned 32.  That means he needs 255 to reach Aaron's mark and who knows how many

Any day now, Barry Bonds will catch Hank Aaron and become the all-time home run king.  Everybody knows that Hank Aaron caught Babe Ruth, but not many people know who held the record before The Babe. It was Roger Connor who hit 138 home runs during his 18-year career.  Think

I'm fascinated by the career of Julio Franco.  The Atlanta Braves released the 48 year old yesterday, but I'm hopeful he'll be back in the big leagues.  This guy's longevity is astounding. Thanks to my new favourite blog I can tell you that Julio Franco has faced 1167 different pitchers
