Anyone who has listened to the TEAM1040 over the last month is well aware of this issue, and now how it has been dealt with (sic) by the league.

For those that haven't, here are the three issues the Canucks had/have with Brian Burke, Ron Wilson, and the MLSE organization in general.

1. Brian Burke at th3 '08 draft was busying himself by telling anyone who would listen (Media and other GM's) that the Sedins were available via trade.

"Big League" Toronto FC loses to Vancouver 2-0 and is all but out of the Concacaf Champions League qualification, leaving Whitecaps FC just a Montreal collapse (of epic proportions) away from a berth in the tourney that saw L'Impact only a collapse of epic proportions away from the Semi Finals and a trip to either Atlante or Cruz Azul, just this last March.

Always the most heated debates in sport. Officiating. You often hear people whinging about how they were "done by the referee" or "the referee was shocking" It happens in Football, American Football, Hockey, Boxing, Basketball, Baseball, you name it.

So he had a cigarette after a night on the piss earlier this month... Who hasn't had their moments?

Us folks that pay attention to the Scottish Premier League and Old Firm were caught up in the Barry Ferguson vs Paul LeGuen scandal at Ibrox during the...

Apparently we have a soccer hall of fame here in Canada...Surely you jest?

C-Ron has a bit of Testicular Fortitude afterall, albeit misplaced.

Landon Donovan has all but agreed terms on loan until January then look for a permanent move during the January window. What does this say about the state of the game in North America when their (Europe) aging also rans head west and we send our very best East to play 4th fiddle to the likes of Lucas Podolski, Luca Toni, and Miro...
