I found this very educational. If you're not sure exactly what the difference is between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and jolly ol' England, you must watch 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
The Tomas Kaberle era in Toronto is over. We're calling it at 878 regular-season games. He was the only Leaf remaining who actually suited up for the team in the 90s. My son still has his Tomas Kaberle bobblehead and I'll always have my Tomas Kaberle autograph. Kaberle is now
It's official. TSN RADIO 1050 will launch on Wednesday, April 13. As we discussed when Mike Richards was hired by BCE Inc., The FAN 590 will have some competition in this market when a second all-sports radio station debuts later this month. Personally, I love this move, as the 1050
Remember that blog I shared with the gif files of cool movie scenes. It was called If We Don't, Remember Me. If you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend that you do. Another photo blog that I'm loving lately is This is Not Porn. Quite simply, it's rare
Len Lesser was 88. He was best known for his recurring role as Uncle Leo on Seinfeld. I loved Uncle Leo.
I can't remember the last time I wrote about the Toronto Raptors. It's been that kind of forgettable season. We're awful. We might be awful, but tonight there's a good reason for casual fans to get excited again. Chris Bosh is back in town with his Miami Heat teammates to
As you've likely heard by now, Brian Burke has traded Kris Versteeg to the Philadelphia Flyers for first and third round draft picks in 2011. You can put a fork in Versteeg's Maple Leaf tenure at 53 games. He just arrived via trade on July 1. Back then, Versteeg cost
Late last night, Arcade Fire upset Lady Antebellum, Lady Gaga, Eminem and Katy Perry to win the most prestigious Grammy Award, for album of the year. Most people, it seems, hadn't heard of Arcade Fire. In fact, a website is collecting America's response to Arcade Fire's big win. You've got
We had a great discussion a few years ago about Consumers Distributing. Consumers Distributing is where I'd go, armed with my Consumers Distributing catalogue, with my wishlist circled. Inevitably, most of what I'd want would be out of stock, but once in a while that coveted Citizen boom box would
Go big or go home, right? I just filtered my MP3 collection for songs with love in the title. After a little de-dupage and clean up, here are my 1187 songs with love in the title. With so many songs featuring "love" in the title, there’s a tune for
Happy Valentine's Day. I choo-choo-choose you.
Howard Stern is new to Twitter, tweeting away at @HowardStern, but as with other media channels, he instantly seems to get it. Yesterday afternoon, Stern found his movie, Private Parts, playing in New York. In real-time, while Private Parts aired, he essentially added a DVD commentary via Twitter. It was
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'...
Chuck Tanner was 82. He managed four teams from 1970 to 1988, posting an overall record of 1,352-1,381 over 19 seasons. He's best known for leading the “We Are Family” Pittsburgh Pirates in 1979 to one of the greatest comebacks in World Series history.
Let's do another one, because these seems to evoke the best comments and discussions... Use the comments of this entry to discuss anything you want. Get something off your chest, start a debate, or simply rant away. P.S. I choo choo choose you.
Well, that didn't take long. A mere five months after Andrew Krystal took over the as morning host at The FAN 590, he's out. The experiment has come to an end. As tame as Landry and Stellick were, Krystal took the opposite approach, seemingly working very hard at being shocking.
Our Toronto Maple Leafs have sent defenceman Francois Beauchemin to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Joffrey Lupul, defenceman Jake Gardiner and a conditional Ducks fourth-round pick in 2012. Lupul, 27, has five goals and eight assists in 26 games with the Ducks this season. The Alberta native was

I don't own an iPhone, but I do own an iPod Touch. I enjoy several free apps, including Seesmic, Facebook, Scramble and the TD Bank app. I'm addicted to that damn Scramble game, but I digress... The Roman Catholic Church has approved an iPhone app called Confession. It's only $1.
YouTube user Retrontario frequently uploads fantastic retro-Toronto-centric gems. These clips never fail to bring back a ton of memories for me, so I feature them from time to time. I don't think a month goes by that I don't reference the Whisper 2000 at least once. These Whisper 2000 ads
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...
James Reimer has played 9 games in his NHL career. He's sporting a sweet .940 SV% and a fantastic 1.96 GAA. You may have heard he recorded his first shutout the other night over Carolina. He's 5-3 for a pretty bad team, and that's earned him the nickname King
