Damn Leafs not trading for Luongo. I miss John Ferguson Jr.
Following Damion Cox on twitter makes me feel sorry for him. How can someone can be so negative and condescending all the time? Lighten up, man! There is a positive side to sports as well ya know.
Remember when you used to have Push It by Salt N Peppa on a mixed tape in grade 5? Check out this cool 1-man version:
I watched some NBA analysts discuss how some teams are setting themselves up to have lots of cap space after next year when Lebron, Wade, Bosh and Kobe all are eligible to become free agents. Would any of the Heat's big 3 really leave for more money elsewhere and break up this master plan of winning titles every year? It also got me thinking that the Raptors probably don't even consider this option since there is likely 0% chance any of those guys would choose to go to Toronto. Doomed. Raps might as well start planning on how to get Andrew Wiggins.
Speaking of Bosh, it's funny to me that Raps fans still boo him when he comes to town. He was an all star every year in Toronto, he re-signed with Toronto after his rookie contract was up and management never gave him anything to work with. Then, when his last deal was up he had the option to re-sign with Toronto or sign with Miami and play with Lebron and Wade. Who in their right mind would pick Toronto? This isn't the same as Vince Carter who cried his way out and quit on the team in pathetic fashion. If fans want to be upset they should be pissed at management for failing to see the writing on the wall (again) and not trading Bosh .... or Carter.... or McGrady or any other star player the Raps let walk for nothing when it was obvious they wouldn't be coming back.
Is it wrong that the very first hint of warm weather in the spring makes me want to drink outside. Anywhere. At any time of the day. No, of course it isn't.
Another Paddyfest in the books and possibly one of the better ones in quite a while. I managed to make it out to the Saturday night dance for this first time in probably 10 years. Still bummed that I missed Jim N Tonic last year but the Trews put on a hell of a show and The Barstools were good as well. The Saturday afternoon is still the best part and it always seems to go by too fast. The Legion stop-over is now a staple of the day as well and it doesn't last near long enough either.
Wolfmother frontman, Andrew Stockdale, has decided to abandon the Wolfmother band name and is going to release his new album under his own name. The album is available for free streaming here: https://soundcloud.com/#official-wolfmother/sets/record .
Here is a fun thought... after this season Justin Morneau and Robinson Cano are both free agents. Depending on how Lind does this year (he's been hitting the lights out in spring training for whatever that's worth), the Jays could be in the market for a 1st baseman (Encarnacion and Morneau could trade off as 1B and DH). Morneau is a Canadian boy ("The Canadian Corners" with Brett Lawrie??!!) and maybe he would like to represent - especially when T.O. is a contender. He is also a power lefty which the Jays don't have. Cano is much more of a pipe dream since he will likely get paid more than Jesus on his next deal and I can't imagine the Yanks would let him go, but maybe the chance to play with "Team DominiCanada" and a legit contender would entice him to sign on. Imagine: Reyes, Cano, Bautista, Encarnacion, Cabrera, Morneau, Lawrie, Arencibia, Rasmus/Gose. I know, I know and maybe Justin Verlander and David Price will get traded to the Jays for a Bobby Kielty baseball card too right?
Stick it in your ear: Show Me the Light by Stonerider.
Three things grabbed my attention from the World Baseball Classic: #1 The Brawl. Canada and Mexico duking it out was fun to watch. My favourite quote after it was over was from Manager Ernie Whitt when he was asked if any of the Canadians were hurt and his response was "Hurt? We're Canadian. You can't hurt us Canadians". #2 Watching the US lose. Doesn't matter what sport it is, it's always fun to watch the mighty Americans go down. #3 Seeing Blue Jays' Reyes, Encarnacion and Sierra win and play very well for the Dominican Republic.
How lazy/anxious are people who post a tweet that is missing an entire word? It can only be 140 characters! How long does that take to read over before sending? ($5 says the next tweet I post is missing a word now)
I think the delay in the Iginla trade was Pens GM, Ray Shero having to read over the deal 25 times because he couldn't believe what Calgary was agreeing to.
I miss the days when it was the Wings making all of these wicked deals to make their 1st place team even better.
What the hell is going on in Calgary? The Flames might be bigger morons than the Leafs. They were in the same lousy position again this year trying to sneak in as the 8th seed for the playoffs and refusing to trade Iginla or Kiprusoff. People have been screaming for these changes for years and the problem for Calgary is that now the return they got for Iggy is far less than what it would have been even a year ago. And now Kipper says he won't go anywhere so they get exactly sweet f*ck all for him. So they finally pull the trigger on Iginla and start the rebuild and now they won't have Iginla anymore and they can't move Kipper AND they won't have great young pieces to start over with. Nice work.
If you could time-warp yourself back in time to watch one concert, would it be Zeppelin, Hendrix or the Beatles? Any other choices would be ridiculous.
Poor Logan Couture.....
These new Buck n Doe rules are just plain stupid. A guest list? Get real. The whole purpose of a B&D is to raise money for young couples about to spend a dumb amount of money on their wedding. If those rules don't get relaxed people will just stop having traditional B&D's and go back to having big parties of their own.
If you have ever considered Netflix vs the Bell movie channel package - do yourself a favour and make the switch. Netflix is way better and less than half the price. But I know what you're really wondering and the answer is no, there is no porn on Netflix.
Go Jays go!
Cheers,
