Apparently I’m not the only person having a lot of fun with the Blue Jays ridiculous start. Dude writing the headlines at TSN tonight is evidently enjoying the BJs’ offensive ejaculations, too:
Seriously, I love filthy headlines and the Blue Jays are awesome right now.
There’s something a heck of a lot of fun about rooting for [...]
We’re in the playoffs, primed for a cup or a monumental choke job – there’s really not a lot of middle ground for the Wings anymore – and it’s time to make some predictions, through everyone’s favourite forms of lazy-man poetry, the haiku and limerick. When we get to the second round, I promise, I’ll do sonnets.
It’s been a while. And that’s on me. For a multitude of reasons. The games that are supposed to be dirty had either peaked, gotten so filthy that it wasn’t fun anymore or were … well, just too depressing for words.
It’s pretty hard to top the combination of vacuous journalism, political intrigue and stump-dumb citizenry [...]
You can see it in their eyes.
It’s the best part about watching sports. Or watching politics. Sometimes — and it is rare enough that it should be treasured — a person who makes their living in the public eye goes to a place where they are simply beyond the competition. Other people do it, too [...]

Aaron Downey is a hockey player — a tough guy from the prairies who has carved out a career for himself in the NHL by being more than willing to fight anyone.
Sometimes it works out well for him.
Sometimes it really doesn’t.
But that’s not why I love Aaron Downey — [...]
In our ceaseless quest to forcibly inject literature and poetry into the realm of professional sports, we are returning to the poignant haiku and the always-amusing limerick as a means of eloquently and succinctly previewing the coming season for every NHL team.
After all, if you can’t sum up a team’s potential in 17 syllables or [...]
It’s not a big deal that Canada doesn’t have single fucking medal at the Beijing Olympics, right?
I mean, our athletes are trying their best, showing good sportsmanship and true Olympic spirit as they lose match after match, finish seventh in race after race and generally dick around to the point where I could name some [...]
Sports, and sports fandom, exist partly to mark the passage of time.
You can see it in the names we give to some of the events (the October classic, March Madness, etc.), by the way a diehard fans of certain sports use championships and other events as a way to remember dates (ask a Maple Leaf [...]
I’ve watched the Detroit Red Wings win three Stanley Cups. This is the sweetest. These guys are an incredible team. Maybe the best I’ve ever seen in Wings uniforms. And that, people, is saying something.
Words sort of fail right now … but this Cup … this Cup is …
for Dan Cleary, a proud Newfoundlander, who [...]
I have nothing else to say until both the Stanley Cup Finals and the Democratic Party nomination process are over.
Both results are so close I can taste them.
But they’re not over yet.
So this seemed right:
