Are we putting too much pressure on the Canadian juniors team?
For the third year in a row, Team Canada has failed to take home the gold at the world juniors tournament. It was also the third year in a row that it was essentially hosted by Canada, because we all know that last year’s tournament [...]

Unlike most sites or papers that awarded their Athlete of the Year before 2011 ended, I find it only appropriate to actually wait until the entire year had run its course before doling out the award.
My choice isn’t going to be the most popular, mainly because the man himself isn’t exactly the best person out [...]

As a Cowboys fan, I hate the fact that the team’s season is coming down to the final game of it all. Especially against the Giants, who just came back in the fourth quarter to beat the Cowboys in Dallas in Week 14 thanks to a blocked field goal.
You just get the feeling that in [...]

It occurred to me that much like the National Basketball Association forgot to start their season on time, I forgot to write up a preview/prediction post in time. But, as you may note, I’m not two months late, just a few meaningless days.
I’ve also changed it up a bit, not just previewing what I think [...]

The NFL has bestowed upon us the greatest early Christmas gift that they could possibly think of: A full slate of games on Christmas eve! It wouldn’t have been smart to jam pack a Sunday full of games when everybody is sitting down with their families. At least when the NBA does it, they’re back-to-back-to-back [...]

Week 15 is usually wacky week in the NFL. Underdogs do some strange things, like Indy winning its first game of the season against the supposedly good Titans. The Texans also looked pretty shabby against the lowly Panthers. But I don’t see these trends continuing.
Would the Colts really risk blowing their shot at Andrew Luck, [...]

I feel kind of bad for Yu Darvish. After about a week of being led to the believe that the Blue Jays would surely have the winning bid for the Japanese ace, it turns out that Texas had them trumped. So, poor Darvish now has the entire Blue Jays’ fan base rooting for him to [...]

This week we get our first taste of Saturday Night Football, with everybody’s favourite choke-artists, the Dallas Cowboys visiting the free falling Bucs. Don’t be surprised if/when Tampa Bay keeps things close and, or even has a chance to win, that seems to be Dallas’ M.O.
As a Cowboys fan, I could seriously do without all [...]

Don’t read too much into Maurice Jones-Drew’s huge four touchdown day on Sunday. The same about the Jaguars defence scoring twice. Also, don’t mention that the Jags scored 41 consecutive points. It’s all moot.
That’s because they were playing a team that was on the road, down some key players and clearly quitting voraciously on their [...]

Believe me, if I could I would use a lot stronger, more vulgar words in the title to describe the state of the NBA right now, but I did actually want this post to stay up here. So, take what I wrote up there, toss in some four-letter words and you’d be nearly half way [...]
