Fatal Bullet Spitting Blood?

…according to the Sporting News the real problem in Green Bay with the struggling Packers has been the anaemic play of running back Ryan Grant. Seldom has a player regressed to such a staggering degree…two teams confident they have resolved their QB difficulties; the Chicago Bears with Kyle Orton and the Buffalo Bills with Trent Edwards. [...]

Rams Object To Perfect Pats

Is it just me, or is the whole Alex Ovechkin story kinda fishy? Plagued by horrible play this year the young superstar suddenly bolts for Russia, apparently to tend to an ailing grandparent. My bullshit detector is screeching…speaking of bizarre, whispers suggest Isiah Thomas was attempting to flee our mortal coil through an abundance of [...]

A Spectacular Ride On The West Side

Stunning racing, brilliant performances, heroes and, of course bad rides and goats, all contributed to a most entertaining Breeders Cup. The format needs to be tweaked, clearly the Ladies Classic and Zenyatta should have been featured on the Saturday card, but I have to eat a suitable portion of crow and admit the two day [...]

Well Armed & Soldier Set To Rally In Cali

Breeders Marathon - DELIGHTFUL KISS appears to be set for a peak effort. He ran back to his June 07 top last out and the four year old looks sufficiently happy and fit to have an impact in here. Sixties Icon adds Lasix and retains Dettori. It is a mystery how he, and many others, will [...]

Irish Are Halfway To Heaven

It’s disappointing that the Breeders Cup kicks off on a Friday afternoon, a time when the bulk of society is preoccupied with making a living…with the rapid decline of the Canadian dollar the Blue Jays are discussing trading a couple of their higher paid players, according to the exiting Paul Godfrey. Clearly, this means any free [...]

Soldier To Battle In The California Sun

Ten of the last eleven World Series have been won by the team that took the opener. Makes you wonder why we need a best of seven series. The Rays came up cold last night, recording a meagre five hits en route to a 3-2 loss…good to know Kenny “The Snake” Stabler is still out [...]

Wizard Sends Balsillie To Kansas

…Ron Wilson is sure turning out to be a foul little twit. His decision to pull Vesa Toskala for the shootout segment of last night’s game against the Sacred Ducks of Anaheim borders on ridiculous. Curtis Joseph, at 41, had been drooling on the bench all night. How could he be expected to go between [...]

O’Sullivan Should Try Hurling

…bookies have made the Tampa Rays, at -135, favourites to win the World Series. There is an angle on that price, however. Since the Rays were offered at 200-1 at the start of the season the House (or THE MAN) simply does not want any more exposure on the AL Champs. They are hoping to spark [...]

Her Sugar Is Raw

..to understand Madonna you must see one of her shows. It’s that simple. The media savages the tiny blond with a bloodlust particular to her alone. And virtually everything they say about her is grossly distorted. She is simply gorgeous, with a magnificent body, and her show in Toronto on Sunday was a passionate masterpiece. [...]

Red Wings Tanking For Tavares?

Yes Mr Savard, you’re table is ready. No, Mr Melrose has not arrived yet, but we expect him any moment…8.07pm tonight Josh Beckett attempts to redeem himself, after his Game Two flop, for the surging (?) BoSox. This time I am staying up until the final out…after dropping their first two home games, to the [...]
