Apparently the United States went to the polls yesterday and elected a new leader. This of course meant nothing good was on television to distract us from the world of sports that’s out there to keep everyone sane. It might have been slow in terms of recent standards but there were some noteworthy happenings.
— Apparently [...]
I know I completely missed out on writing about Games 1 and 2 of the World Series but this just happens to be one of the busiest times of the sports year. With the NFL really gearing up, the NBA set to launch plus the NHL underway and making bad decisions, it can be hard [...]
It didn’t even take a month of hockey for me to be forced into writing another What’s wrong with the NHL column. How sad it that? I’ve got two issues with the league right now and while, on the surface, one of them might actually turn out to be profitable, the underlying principle of it [...]
The NHL is on the outs with me. It’s really been a down-ward, slippery slope-style slide too. Several times in the past I’ve run little comments on how the NHL is going about things wrong. They’ve been entitled “What’s wrong with the NHL,” and honestly, if I cared enough about the sport of hockey, it [...]
I’ve got a few things I have to ask the sporting world. There have been a few calls and decisions made that just don’t make sense over the past few days and I’d like to address these.
How the hell did Matt Millen run the Lions (into ground) for so long and got away with doing [...]
What does the recession in the U.S. do to sports? More than you’d think. If you haven’t noticed, more and more professional athletes — mainly hockey and basketball players — are heading overseas to ply their trade. And why wouldn’t they? It may not be the big name guys leaving their North American squads — [...]
So what do you write about on the day that there is no professional sports being played? One of the two days a year that is true — except the other one (Monday) had the Home Run Derby so you have a subject right there. Well there are a few things that can be talked [...]
Well, the Tampa Bay Lightning might have made an Isiah Thomas-like blunder, but you can’t really blame them seeing how their owners just bought the team. Was signing Vincent Lecavalier to an 11-year contract extension a good idea? Sure, if you think he’s still going to be good when he’s 40. Vinny, who is 28 [...]
North America, say goodbye to Jaromir Jagr. One of (if not) the most successful European players to ever lace up his skates and play in the NHL is headed to Russia. Jagr has reportedly agreed to a deal with Avangard Omsk, the team he played for during the 2004-05 lockout but there’s something even bigger [...]
Being Canadian and working in the sports section of a Canada-wide chain of papers, you get to (read: have to) watch a lot of hockey. Every Saturday night, there is a show called Hockey Night In Canada, you might be familiar with it even if you aren’t Canadian or a even a hockey fan. Well, [...]
