I've spent a great deal of my life in Springfield, living precariously through my favourite tv family. I was fifteen when "The Simpsons" debuted and I was on it like Troy McClure on a trout from the beginning. I even remember them from "The Tracey Ullman Show" in the late
For 128 minutes and 11 seconds of Olympic hockey action, Team Canada was held scoreless. Then Brad Richards, Martin St. Louis and Chris Pronger found the net to put us up 3-0 early and we held on for the 3-2 victory. From what I understand, Martin Brodeur played amazingly well
Team Canada has scored a goal! In fact, they've scored three in the first period and lead the Czech Republic 3-0 in the first intermission. I was starting to fear we'd never score again. When Brad Richards scored at the 7:37 mark you may have heard a massive and

#1 Song on This Date in History - What was the #1 song in the USA on the day you were born? For me, it was "Sundown" by Gordon Lightfoot. A rare Cancon numero uno... how appropriate.

Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today. Totally disgusting. Where is the leadership on this team? NOBODY has stepped up their game. We're playing like a B or C divsion team. So what, we make the next round
The good news: I got to watch our Canadian hockey team play two games this weekend. The bad news: I watched our team get shut out twice and fall to 2-2. The loss to Switzerland shocked me while this loss to Finland merely suprised me. Unlike years past, there are
Something is definitely wrong with our mens Olympic hockey team. How can a team of this calibre fail to create any semblance of offense? It's 2-0 for Finland after one and that score is flattering to us. I don't recall seeing any crisp passes, no odd man rushes and almost

Television shows seemed better when I was a kid. After school, I could become immersed in crap like "The Facts of Life", "Who's The Boss?", "Growing Pains" or "Silver Spoons". Then, there were old-school favourites like "The Dukes of Hazzard", "WKRP in Cincinnati", "Three's Company", "Night Court" and "The A-Team"

Tracking ones favourite bands used to be a far easier practice. As a teen, I could ring off my ten favourite bands of all-time without hesitation or doubt. In my 30s, it seems to change by the hour or mood. Here is my current top ten: The Tragically HipPearl JamNirvanaPublic
