Phillies And Yankees In World Series
By Rebecca Glass
The World Series is supposed to be about the two best teams in each league duking it out for supreme bragging rights.
Often, this fails in favor of two teams that simply get hot at the right time, but this year, it is, in fact, the league’s two best teams going at it.
In one [...]
Censorship Of Redskins Fans In Washington
Well, well, well. On the heels of the NFL tossing out a controversial radio personality the league was handed one by the Washington Redskins - of all places. I think they should take a walk over to the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials to remind them of something called freedom of speech.
And this controversy is far [...]
Hits To The Head Should Be Priority For The NHL
By Beaker
I like good, hard, old fashioned physical hockey as much as any guy but some body checks these days are becoming more and more difficult to defend. Enter Philadelphia Flyers forward Mike Richards.
Yes, the hit Richards administered on David Booth of the Florida Panthers was “clean” - which seems to mean ‘as long as [...]
Honoring James Creighton: Hockey’s Founding Father
Here’s a link to a rather neat story and one I was unaware of. The Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper honored the man considered to be a founding father for codifying and popularizing the game of hockey, James Creighton, with a grave stone in Ottawa this week. He had been resting in an unmarked [...]
Let’s Keep Carl Froch’s Narrow Win Against Andre Dirrell In Perspective
Although Carl “the Cobra” Froch eked out a victory against Andre “the Matrix” Dirrell, proving my prediction wrong, he still left many doubters. Many people felt that he did not do enough to earn the decision against Dirrell. Even worse, many think Froch benefited from some home(town) cooking from the referee (who deducted a point from Dirrell) as [...]
Talk Of 70 Plus Wins Pure Premature Speculation
By Alex
NBA Tipoff
The NBA season is now just 15 days away. It’s pre-season and while I love speculating about how teams will do, can’t we just show a little constraint and not mention the Bulls historic 72 win season (or 70 wins period)?
It’s not like I don’t want players to be confident, it’s just the [...]
Gallinari Set For Breakthrough Year With Knicks
By Alex
NBA Tipoff
Danilo Gallinari is going into an important sophomore season. The Rooster’s (his nickname, if you didn’t know) got to show New York that he’s got game enough to make things bearable for them this season. He’s got some talent and some tools and I’m eager to see how he does. Hopefully he’ll actually [...]
MLB Umpires Under Fire…Again
By Rebecca Glass
If no one says anything, you know the umpires are doing their job.
As with any officiating, the most successful are those that go unnoticed, unheeded and forgotten as though they’ve never been there in the first place.
Alas, if this is the case, the MLB umpires responsible for officiating this postseason have done a [...]
Nancy Greene Should Carry The Canadian Flag In Vancouver
Debate and sometimes controversy tend to surround the selection of who gets the honor of carrying Canada’s flag at the Olympics.
It doesn’t have to be this year.
Yes, the temptation is there to have Wayne Gretzky have represent the country and he does merit consideration but for me one name stands out: Nancy Greene.
For starters, she’s [...]
Rumours Of The NHL Returning To Quebec City Intensify
By Beaker
Canadian hockey fans in Quebec City are getting all giddy at the prospect of the NHL returning to the oldest city in North America.
I’m not.
Why?
Because, it’s been reported that the proposed plans to build a new $400 million arena will be funded entirely by taxpayers with $50 million from the municipal government and the [...]
