Fitting ending for CFL championship game....

I'm not surprised about the finish last night...4 me, the CFL is about which team makes less mistakes and not so much about talent v. talent

The final field goal happened about 11 hours ago...Already heard about 20 "13th man" jokes involving the Riders...it's getting real old fast

There's no one player/coach to blame, but Rider Nation wants to know so they can dump the rest of the eggs/manure that was for Paul McCallum

After the orange towels...err, flags, littered the field for the 13th man...there was no doubt that Duval would put it right down the middle

Love when people with no sports knowledge break it down anyways....overheard on radio this morning...Damon Duval kicks a 33 METRE FG to win!

Sens v. Sharks tomorrow night...the Sharks are absolute beasts at 18-6-4...and consider that 18 of their first 28 games have been road games

Bryan Murray admits being frustrated during the Heatley trade situation this summer, but never angry....someone explain the difference to me

Give a lot of credit to backups and castaway QB's for stepping up this week in the NFL including Dennis Dixon, Chris Redman and Vince Young!

Oh boy! NHL refs just aren't as polished with their mic'd-up explanations as their NFL counterparts - "The goalie couldn't do his job..." LOL

NFL Week 11 Thoughts

Only 2 hours before I get fed some great homemade Filipino food courtesy of Chef Mom...sooo good! My stomach is already getting impatient...

Pit/KC: This one could get ugly...no Dwayne Bowe for the Chiefs combined with a mad Steelers team coming off another loss to Cincy...BLOWOUT

Indy-Bal: Very dangerous game for Colts...at 9-0, the desperation isn't there for Indy...Baltimore needs this game badly to stay in the hunt

SF-GB: Remember when these teams would be always a lock to make the NFC Playoffs...SF doesn't have an offense and GB can't stop offenses....

Buf-Jax: Easy 2 expect an inspired effort from the Bills...I expect the same effort as the previous 9 games...MJD should be big for the Jags

Atl-NYG: Much like in boxing, it's a crossroads fight....1 team gets back in the mix with a win and the other climbs a big hill by losing...

NO-TB: Why do I get the feeling that the Bucs rise up here and steal a game against New Orleans? They aren't as bad as their record suggests

Cle-Det: You know the Browns are the new laughing stock when Detroit is favoured....but the Browns have played badly enough to warrant it...

Was-Dal: Hey Redskin fan....best-case scenario for you long-term is a beatdown today by Dallas, followed by the immediate firing of Jim Zorn

Sea-Min: I predict pain for Seattle....this one could get ugly as well...AP will have another big day and appease fantasy owners like myself

Ari-STL: Which Arizona will show up today? The team capable of beating the pathetic Rams by 35 or the team that allows it to be a nail-biter

NYJ-NE: The Jets are ripe for the picking by the Pats...Mark Sanchez has gone from the hot-dog hero to the goat and coach Rex Ryan is crying

SD-Den: Final game of 2008...a fading Broncos team face the surging Chargers and lose 52-21...the stars are aligned for this to happen again

Cin-Oak: We'll get to see Larry Johnson as a Bengal today...I'm more curious 2 see a Raiders team led by someone other than Jamarcus Russell

Phi-Chi: Many storylines for the game and yet, it doesn't even register on the "big game" scale...Over/Under Culter INT's 1.5....actual line

Bud Adams took out an ad in the Buffalo News saying, "We wish the Bills and their fans good luck today and for the remainder of the season."

What Bills fans don't know is that once they lose to the Jags today, tomorrow's paper will have another ad of Bud giving the double-barrell!

No good videos today, so I just recycled some good soccer clips from the past month or two....come on, it's a lazy Sunday for me too.... :-)

Lazy Saturday...

Hooray for having the super-sports pack....making sure the ass-groove is set for hours of college football....Michigan is gonna get stomped!

Hockey doesn't work in Phoenix! Despite being 12-9-1, the Coyotes have already lost 5 mil and are on pace to lose 50 mil by season's end....

Stop demanding a replay of France-Ireland...it would set such a dangerous predecent where all games could be replayed due to referee's error

Looks like the 67's are finally starting to put it together...with all the talent on that team, they should have never been near the bottom!

The return of Tito 2 the octagon tonight as he takes on Forrest Griffin...I'm excited to see this fight 'cause to me, it's a real toss-up...

Also looking forward to seeing the Mikkel Kessler/Andre Ward fight in the Super 6...This is another real toss-up...classic speed v. strength

Rainn Wilson on twitter just cracks me up....about Twilight - I liked the part in "New Moon" when Robert Pattinson discovers he has a vagina

Watching the Wrangler jeans commercial with Favre....I think he purposely leads that guy so he has to dive into the puddle to make the catch

Stylin' and Profilin' on a Friday

Forget Casual Friday...Getting the party started by going into full party-mode at work...getting a lot of funny looks...I'm just saving time

Weirdness: CFRA's afternoon producer Sarah G dressed up also, so we both look really good...but 1 guy at work said I looked better...hmmmmmm

Love the MMA v. Boxing battle on twitter right now after the news of 1.2 million PPV buys for Cotto/Pacquiao....can't we all just get along?

Boxer Andre Berto is asking for predictions for Pacquiao/Mayweather: One guy's opinion - Pacman will have Floyd doing the stanky leg by Rd 3

Also love the tweet from Bill Simmons today: Goal for tonight: a logical explanation from someone why Denver airport is 50 min from downtown

Number of beers it would take for me to have enough "liquid courage" to do the Stanky Leg for the public at a bar/club: over/under 10 beers!

Such a tough break for Shean Donovan....let's hope he gets a chance to get back on the ice...plenty of people are pulling 4 a quick recovery

For at least one night, Sticky Ricky looked like the RB that Ditka traded his whole draft for back in 99 and set the Saints back by a decade

Some left-field thoughts...

The Brad Booth interview continues to grow in popularity...now the most downloaded interview on the blog by 7X...somewhere, Dirty is pissed!

I'll get more interviews in the future and I enjoy doing them....Just in a tough spot 'cause I have to book guests for the Scratches as well

At the bar and the band of 3 20 yr. old guys get "encored" by 2 guys in their 50's....pretty sure they didn't dream that when they formed...

Kudos to bar bands though....Pretty sure I would lose my patience real quick if I were performing at the bar and nobody was paying attention

A ton of guys are growing moustaches 4 November....I guess guys have wanted to, but couldn't find a good reason that would convince the lady

If I grew a moustache and let my hair grow for a month, I would look exactly like Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite...but I would be single again

"Expert" tip 4 single women at parties...Tell people you're on a flirtation mission and ask if they'll help you meet someone new...thank MSN

I'm curious to see if that would work for a guy...I'm invited to a party Saturday night, but I'll just assume I would look like a huge loser

A Calgary couple concerned about their children's homework load has signed a formal "no homework" contract with the school...nice work kids!

Kitchen catfight! Martha Stewart says Rachael Ray is not at her level...I would still rather have Rachael cook 4 me...I have a crush on her!

Could this really be happening?!? Kellogg's predicting national Eggo shortage until middle of 2010...You better leggo of my boxes of Eggos!!

Thanks to Sean Crogie from ottawagolfblog.com for the Tiger video...I'm a huge Tiger fan, but I even find this pretty ridiculous...calm down

Call me bitterman today....

First off, thanks to all of you who took the time to listen to the Brad Booth interview....easily the most downloaded interview on the blog!

Subsequently, note to Dirty Dan....Brad's interview smashed your record by 5X....but the Friday chat about absolutely nothing was still good

Was on the money with my breakdown for Pacquiao/Cotto in July! http://showkiller.blogspot.com/2009/07/pacquiaocotto-set-for-november-14.html

I understand the reasoning behind Belichick's move to go on 4th down....he tried to end the game right there...just didn't work this time...

2 quarterbacks that need to step their game up immediately: Matt Ryan/Mark Sanchez...both teams are in danger of collapse after great starts

Cincy's win over Pittsburgh was supposed to leave no doubt they were legit....but an injury to Cedric Benson even has me second-guessing....

Three teams at 1-8...the Lions, Bucs and Rams...who gets the 1st overall pick? My money is on the Rams...Steven Jackson can only do so much!

Funny stuff from Adam Schefter on Twitter....Dick Jauron fired as Bills coach, and as he left, Titans owner Bud Adams gave him the finger...

Couldn't they have fired Jauron just after the game heading into the bye? They would have had 2 weeks worth of practices to get comfortable!

Feel vindicated after saying Denver's loss to Pittsburgh was the start of the downfall...losing to Washington Sunday is all the proof I need

Is Jamarcus Russell capable of ever losing the starting job in Oakland? He's not an NFL quarterback, but Al will have him starting next week

Congratulations to Dallas and Philadelphia on being the most frustrating teams for bettors...yet, degenerates will still put money on you...

Saw Paranornal Activity with the girlie...disappointed I was never startled...can't say as much for the screamers I shared a theatre with...

A memo to those in the theatre last night who were "solving" the mystery of the demon by voicing their theories out loud, shut the hell up!!

It's kind of sad that I wake up this morning after another Leafs loss to the Sens and as a Leafs fan, I just don't care anymore...they stink

Quote from Ron Wilson after last night, "I don't want to be known as a loser..." I can envision the collective headshake from all Leafs fans

Also sad that Howard Berger came on the Scratches yesterday and already talked about the Leafs missing the playoffs...on November 17th...LOL

And don't try to hype any Sens/Leafs games as "Battle of Ontario" until at least both of these teams are over .500 or playoff contenders....

Completely with Chris Stevenson today on the stadium issue...I need to see bulldozers, cranes and workers at Lansdowne before I'm convinced!

ESPN had their 24 hour marathon of college basketball on Tuesday...I was tempted to stay up all 24 hours and blog about it as a challenge...

NFL Week 10 Thoughts

ATL/Car: All of a sudden, ATL in the midst of a big logjam for a wild card spot in NFC...must win game against a less-talented Panthers team

TB/Mia: Is Josh Freeman for real in Tampa? Does Miami respond well 2 hard-fought loss to the Patriots? Not so easy for Miami as you think...

Det/Min: Would be very surprised if the Vikes cover 16.5 spread against a divisional opponent that's under-talented, but fully healthy again

Jax/NYJ: A bettor's worst nightmare....two teams absolutely consistent at being inconsistent...who knows what's gonna happen in this game...

Cin/Pit: Can't believe I'll be more surprised if Pittsburgh wins...Cedric Benson and great drafting defensively have put Cincy over the top!

NO/Stl: Poor Rams, don't think there's going 2 be a letdown by the Saints today...the Panthers did no favours by challenging NO last week...

Buf/Ten: Feel bad for my Bills...why couldn't they play them earlier this year? The Titans are looking much better now....this could get ugly!

Den/Was: Denver is in danger of free-falling after a great start...luckily, they face a team that's just metres away from a crash-landing...

KC/Oak: Do I have to write 140 characters about this game? Only 81 more to go after that question mark....only 34 more after the dots! Done!

Ari/Sea: Big divisional game! Arizona is in dominant position with a win....Seattle win and the division is even again between Ari/Sea/SF...

Dal/GB: Dallas on highest of highs after beating Eagles and Pack on lowest of lows after loss to winless Tampa....all about momentum here...

Phi/SD: Don't know why, but no one likes speaking well of SD...I even want to find a reason why they will lose, but I like them to win today

NE/Ind: 2 masters at work tonight with Brady/Manning...injuries taking a toll on Indy's secondary...Brady will take advantage and win for NE

Had a chance to talk with 1 of Canada's best poker pros, Brad Booth, and CEO Peter Karroll about new venture, GR88.com...check out the links

It's all breaking down....

Ever have a day where everything in the office breaks down all at once? Of course, it happens on Friday...still stuck at work 1 hour late...

That was a tough game for Sens fans to swallow against Philly...I'm objective and don't really care who wins to be honest, but that was bad!

2 p.m. start times for NHL games on Saturday are the worst! Let me do my errands during the day and then relax with some hockey at night....

The head for Skeleton Canada says Michelle Kelly's DQ for doctoring her sled was overturned because 2 of 3 inspectors went home early. Nice!

Can Carrie Prejean do everyone a huge favour and just go away? Just disappear into oblivion if you can...your 15 minutes of fame are over...









BTW: Audio is back....The Late Crew reunites for 10 minutes today to talk about.....well, nothing...

http://www.box.net/shared/iditvyfgxh

Videos Galore!

Celebrated the Yanks win last night by buying a bottle of Derek Jeter's cologne...Rosalie thinks I smell sexy now...that's all that matters!

We all knew Cheechoo was damaged goods when he came over in the Heatley deal, but NO goals in 12 games and playing on the 4th line....yikes!

Thank the lord! After tonight, the Sens don't play the Tampa Bay Lightning again until April 8th....3 games in 3 weeks was a little much....

Good news for lady fans of UFC...Georges St. Pierre is the next underwear model for Under Armour...I can hear high-pitched shrieking already

Not to get emotional, but this gets me pumped for today, "To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did." ~Unknown

C'mon Man!

I love going to clubs and partying, but I even stop at a reasonable time...neighbours are still pumping their techno at 9 a.m.!! C'mon man!

Only 100 days until the start of the 2010 Olympic Games...I thought I had more time to make plans for hanging out with my sister in Whistler

Phil Kessel looked great last night....well worth the wait! Now, if only Burke could dress another forward with half of Kessel's talent :-)

2 teams still thriving despite big losses to injury: Vancouver Canucks/Atlanta Thrashers....both missing key pieces but finding a way to win

Can Chase hit another HR?/Can Howard break the strikeout record?/Can Pettite pitch on 3 days rest?/Can Pedro make the Yanks his daddy again?

The Flames have a PR disaster with the H1N1 flu shot fiasco...A fan sold his season tickets at face value online because he was so disgusted

Two sports organizations that need to get their heads out of their asses and create a "playoff" with some intrigue...the PGA Tour and NASCAR

Post-game handshakes, high-fives and any other form of palm pressing have been banned from Ottawa high school sports until further notice...

Stupid time change!

Woke up an hour early because I forgot to set my clock back when I got home from Niagara Falls...so I stained myself out to start the day...

Melnyk wants the 4 mil back that he gave 2 Heatley...not gonna get it 'cause of the no-trade clause, but I can understand the frustration...

The Sens and Lightning again?!? Playing a team in the Southeast Division three times in a month is a major fail from the schedule makers....

There's something terribly wrong when Jarkko Ruutu has more goals, points, shots, penalty minutes and better plus/minus than Alex Kovalev...

Another reason why sports can be called the ultimate reality show...Pedro pitching in New York to try to extend the World Series to 7 games!

Uh-oh! The Coyotes franchise is like a dead man walking....Last two recorded attendances for Coyotes home games: 6,495 Saturday/5,855 Monday

Wow! Just looking at the standings...we know that the Leafs have been BAD, but surprisingly, the Hurricanes haven't been any better...yikes!

I think I speak for all Bills fans when I say: FIRE DICK JAURON ALREADY! My hair is getting whiter and whiter by the week and I'm only 27...
