Brian Burke will be free to negotiate with any NHL team within two weeks. Michael Farber on S I suggested Burke should be able to negotiate a “non-interference” clause with Maple Leaf Sports, something similar to the acomodation given to Bryan Colangelo, Raptors GM.

Peter King on the S I site has a must read analysis of the final 46 seconds of the San Francisco 49ers loss to the Arizona Cardinals Monday night. The hapless Niners ran only two plays from the shadow of the Cardinals goal line, with the final play reflecting an incomprehensible decision to go up [...]

Saw Feist at Massey Hall last night. Wish I hadn’t……the Tennessee Titans have won ten regular season games in a row. They entertain the Green Bay Packers at home today and, coming off a short week and a draining win, I’ll be damned if they don’t look vulnerable again…Titans coach Jeff Fischer believes in wearing [...]
