Toronto sports fans enjoy being abused. That's the only logical explanation that can be concluded by our blind acceptance of the mediocrity of our sports franchises. MLSE and Rogers Communications have excelled at selling product but are failing miserably at building teams that contend for...

Something is rotten in the cradle of western civilization. For many years now the governments of Greece and Spain have been taking handsome kickbacks from developers. An area of open forest is then rezoned after developers have sent in arsonists to set the forests ablaze. In the last ten days...

The only league that matters has kicked off another season. Italian football began to change in 2005; out went the grinding catenaccio in came a faster pace and creative play-making. While Manchester City - Arsenal was sucking a lemon; Torino - Lazio, Juventus - Livorno produced 10 goals in...

There's a woman I know who I believe will say yes if I ask her out. I am VERY attracted to her class. However, I believe that the only thing driving me to ask her out is her class. I mean, she has a nice ass and our conversations are good, but if her class wasn't so nice, I don't think I would...

We've all enjoyed ourselves poking fun at this rich man's daughter. We've been critical of her for not seeing a job through, for being a lightweight without principles and of having loose morals. For always beings in the public eye she's taken her lumps; especially when she was so ambivalent...

I used to make regular business trips to Memphis, Tennesse. I developed a real taste for Southern style BBQ; smokehouse ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, chicken, with boiled crawdaddies and peanut butter, grape jelly and beacon sandwiches for desert. YummO! So far the only place I could find...

Tom Cruise's latest film, Valkyrie, will not be shot in Germany. The nation has seen fit to ban production of the film in Germany due to Mr. Cruise's public connection to the Church of Scientology. In Germany, Scientology does not have official religious status and is seen as a money making...

As the Sens/Sabres series is set to begin; it is time for us to show our love for Toronto's most accomplished sports executive. Before Brian Colangelo botched things up, he had built the Raptors into a dynasty and I have complete faith that he'll do the same with the Maple Leafs. So let's say...

It's not a current picture of Toronto's not so lovable losers, updating their website must not be a priority of MLSE. I can just imagine Pat Quinn and Larry Tannenbaum's skins crawling as the picture was being taken!:o http://assets.mapleleafs.com/assets/fanzone/teamphoto1024.jpg

United 93 is now available on TMN, those that have seen this film say that it is an incredible movie, but I still can't watch it. There has been no closure to 9/11. Those that conceived and planned this tragic event are still very much at large. A film such as this only prolongs the suffering...

I love hockey but there's too many threads. Israel 0 England 0 This result isn't as bad as it looks. The city's exuberant nightlife nothwithstanding, not even Brazil could score in Tel Aviv. Jews are known for their stubborness and catenaccio is a defensive system that rewards stubborness...

It's apparent that the Leafs legacy of futility will go on indefinetly. Upper management has been skimming the profits for over 50 years; the result has been that the Leafs haven't been to a Stanley Cup final in 40 years. If it were not for the Chicago Cubs not getting to the World Series since...

It appears that Jose Morinhio's days as coach of Chelsea may be numbered and most of it has to do with the lack of playing time for Roman Abramovich's good friend Andrei Shevchenko. It was obvious from the beginning that the Unkranian would not be successful under Morinhio's system; the transfer...

There is an, in today's Toronto Star, about a high ranking member of Somalia's defeat Islamic government possibly expiditing his Canadian citizenship and returning to Canada. Somalia was under the thumb of warlords for over a decade when an Islamic movement defeated them and placed the southern...

Don Cherry has become dated and tiresome. I used to defend him, to all those that took offence to his comments I would say that he was just a harmless buffoon who sometimes made some valid points. But lately he's been relying too much on shock value - he's become white trash. I lost patience...

One of the reasons that England can never win a major tournament is that they eat their young. They put so much preassure on their football protigies that they tend to burn out by the time they are 25, (Gascognie,Owen,Rooney???) and the latest victim may be Steven Gerrard. He has been looking...

http://www.wembleystadium.com/ The new Wembley looks like it will be a spectacular state of the art facility that will cement London's place as the hub of Europe. It's also come to my attention that the inaugural match will be an International friendly: England vs Italy. It begs the question -...

At a wedding reception I spent part of my evening puffing on a good cigar and sipping single malt - life doesn't get any better than that. I quit smoking cigarettes years ago but I found the cigar a very pleseant experience. I would like to keep a box of cigars for myself but I don't know much...

I’ve been a Leaf fan since Lanny MacDonald and Borje Salming were rookies; to this day they remain my favorite Leafs. Lanny was the lucky one, after getting traded from this dysfunctional franchise he became a prolific goal scorer and eventually won the Cup with the Flames – Borje was not so...

The latest issue of MacLean's has an article that paints Geroge Bush as being "The worst President in the last 100 years": http://www.macleans.ca/topstories/politics/article.jsp?content=20060417_125323_125323 This article is unfair, George Bush is an outstanding President; his legacy will be...
