Joe Kapp is a CFL legend, but is now 73-years old. Angelo Mosca is also a CFL legend, and he's now 74-years old. Their rivalry continues to this day, as evidenced by this fight at the CFL Alumni Legends Luncheon in Vancouver on Friday. Before you label Kapp as the
Did you catch the game last night? Sidney Crosby returned after battling post-concussion syndrome for 11 months and played like the best player in the world. Two goals and two assists later, it was the water cooler topic of choice for millions in this country. My buddy Pete is completely
I don't care a lick about the Texas Rangers or the St. Louis Cardinals. Without a rooting interest, I've watched very little of the World Series this year. I only tuned in last night after the Leafs game because it was potentially the clinching game. I'm very glad I did.
We discussed the new Sportsnet branding last week. Part of that new branding involved renaming The FAN 590 "SPORTSNET 590 The FAN". I've also noticed they've dropped the music from their 20/20 sports updates. It's not like before when they briefly changed the music, there's no music at all.
LSU punter Brad Wing ran a fake punt into the end zone for a touchdown, only it was called back because of his "excessive celebration". His 52-yard run was erased by an unsportsmanlike conduct call after he held the ball out toward a Florida defender. You have to see this
I hate the Red Sox. Not as much as I hate the Yankees, but it's a pretty strong hate. Needless to say, I was rooting for a Red Sox loss and a Tampa Bay win last night, but with the Rays down 7-0 to the Yankees and the Red Sox
When I was a kid, I got excited when George Bell hit 26 homers in '84 and then 28 in '85. Jesse Barfield's 40 in '86 seemed unreal, and Bell's 47 in '87 felt Ruthian. When I was growing up, 40 homers meant something very, very special. At some point
The top 25 scorers in National Football League history are all placekickers. If you want to score, you better kick. Here's the top 25, if you're curious. Morten Andersen 2,544Gary Anderson 2,434John Carney 2,062Matt Stover 2,004George Blanda 2,002Jason Elam 1,983Jason Hanson 1,890John Kasay
I Google+'d this a month ago, but it's just too awesome for Google+. Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No by James Blagden belongs here. In celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale
I was glad the Canucks lost. Normally, I hate Boston, but in this series, they had my full support. It sounds like more folks are talking about the riots than the series. That's too bad. If you want to see some amazing photos of the Vancouver riots, you want to
I've been calling for a Winnipeg Jets mulligan. The Jets were an easy team to like, and I wanted the team back in Winnipeg. I closed that entry with a simple plea: Bring back the Jets. A deal has been reached to bring the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg. They'll play
I used to watch a little call-in sports show on Cable 10 called Let's Talk Sports. I wrote about Let's Talk Sports over six years ago if you want to read a little more about my memories of this cheesy local sports show from yesteryear. The hosts were Mike Wilner
This is the greatest sports montage I've ever seen. I've watched it three times now, and each time I got chills. As a commenter pointed out, to call this video epic is to under serve the visuals. It's uber-epic, and the best montage I've seen since All Heart. I warned
In the World Hockey semi-finals between Finland and Russia, Mikael Granlund just scored one of those hot dog goals everyone tries in rec hockey. You'd have to see it to believe it. Luckily for you, I have it right here: It's legal, but there's something about this goal that bugs
Playoff hockey is the best. Throw in a game seven or two, and it makes for a fantastic night of television. Last night's Canucks ~ Blackhawks game was sensational, but the call of the night belonged to Bob Cole during the Bruins ~ Habs game. Everything is happening!Perfect. The perfect call
Andrew Ference lived the fantasy shared by many a Leafs fan when he flipped the bird to the Bell Centre crowd in Montreal last night. I'd gladly pay $2500 to do that.
The Fab Five was my adopted NCAA basketball team. Ask my brothers. I lived and died by that team in the early 90s. Here's something I wrote about The Fab Five 8 years ago. I just filled in my March Madness bracket for an office pool, and I still find
Like you, my primary motivation to follow the NBA this season is my passionate desire to see the Miami Heat fail. The Heat have lost five in a row. I repeat, the Heat have lost five in a row. FIVE IN A ROW. Adding to the good news is this
I should play more tennis. I really like playing tennis and I almost never play. Does anyone want to play this summer? Speaking of tennis, in July of 2009 I wrote about Canada's male singles tennis failure. Here's a snippet. Canada's inability to produce a single excellent men's singles tennis
Wayne Rooney just scored this goal for Manchester United vs. Manchester City. Watch it below and meet me on the other side... I could do that. Just sayin'...
Today is Super Bowl XLV. It's the Steelers and Packers at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas. This Open Mike is all about the big game. I want score predictions. Let's see if anyone nails it...
There's a neat article about the origin of the Gatorade shower over on mental_floss. My favourite nugget is the premature Gatorade shower Kentucky coach Guy Morriss received. Here's footage of Morriss getting drenched and then LSU wideout Devery Henderson quickly scoring a miracle touchdown on a tipped Hail Mary
I just watched the first period of the Penguins and Capitals from Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. I realize there's a Leafs game on, but it's the Winter Classic and I'm a sucker for events, even silly made-for-TV sporting events, and the HBO 24/7 series actually had me psyched for
I don't see my brothers as often as I used to, but when we all end up in the same room, as we did yesterday for Christmas, great debates ensue. Yesterday, my brother Ryan declared confidently that if Gretzky were playing in today's NHL, Crosby would be the better player.
I hear they've got a lot of snow in Minnesota. It's raining here, but Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa are getting buried. They had to postpone the Giants-Vikings game because the Metrodome roof collapsed under the weight of all that snow. Check it out.
