    Liberals cut grant to BC School Sports

    I'm sure we'll all forget about these cuts in 4-5 years when we're distracted by all the new election promises. Here's the notice BCSS sent to all member schools: On Friday July 24, 2009 BCSS received notification that the entire provincial government operating grant for the organization...

    Roids in the NHL??

    London Free Press - Sports - Steroid bust has alleged connections to NHL, major-league baseball JBN said it couldn't be since there was no need for roids in the NHL. Who needs roids with the new sticks and skates available? Dude said, "JBN...get yer head outta yer ass."

    2009 Men's World Championships

    Looks like with Washington playing another round, the gold is now Canada's. Steve Stamkos....could he be ready for next year? He definitely had a decent 2nd half.

    May 12 Election

    Time to discuss to the issues and political games. Personally...I'm tired of the BCTF adds that we need to vote for public education on May 12 by not voting for the Liberals...but they don't tell you what party to vote for (like we cannot read between the lines!) My email to the...

    If I Could Ever get Through to Pratt and Taylor

    I got through the other day, but after 15 minutes of waiting online, I hung up. Maybe they can make their way to TTP to hear our gripes. 1) The Luongo Quote: Every year around free agent time players move on to a team that either a) pays a lot more money or b) is a contender. Would have...

    Top 10 Goalies (post 1970)

    I don't want to get off topic in Wayne's thread, and narrowing the top hockey players to 10 is too difficult. Top 10 goalies, however, is a little easier. Roberto hasn't earned his spot anywhere yet. 10. Gerry Cheevers 9. Tony Esposito 8. Mike Richter 7. Bernie Parent 6. Eddie...

    Lesnar New Heavyweight Champ

    I thought Couture was doing ok until that shot hit him on the temple. Too bad it only lasted a round and a half! Not sure what that says for the sport when someone with 3 pro bouts under his belt is the Champ!

    HNIC's Worst TV Personality

    Tough call here. Maybe if Cassie Campbell kept her mouth shut and wore see-through tops I'd be a bigger fan of hers. Maybe if PJ Stock said fewer than 1000 words in a minute he might be worthy of at least an "Inbox" job at Sportsnet. Maybe if Steve Armitage and Elliot Friedman didn't...

    Dude, I've stopped smoking crack

    In the Spring of 2006, while Dude affectionately referred to Dave Nonis "Dunkin Dave Nonis" I referred to the doughnut boy as "Dave "NOBis and Dave Novice." Yes, catchy I agree, but I called in May 2006, that this year's version of the Canucks would be the saddest Canucks team of all time...

    Teachers New Deal

    Word on the street is 5 years and 16%. This is almost as good as Luongo's deal. That signing bonus for me and the missus will pay for the new tile, tubs, and vanities. I think those cabinets I'm making will have a granite countertop as well. The government gave a crapload of my...

    Gary Bettman: Sportsman of the year

    Anyone read this SI article? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/magazine/specials/sportsman/2005/11/03/gary.bettman/ I have to agree. Bettman has changed the sport for the better and proved that no player is bigger than the game. I wonder if other major sports' commissioners will...

    TV and Radio Ads that HURT Business!

    I always thought that advertising was supposed to be good for business. Some advertising is so embarrassing that I won't give these businesses my dollars purely for reasons of fear. My fear? That they'll put my money towards more bad ads. Boston Pizza. Why? Because of that complete cnut...

    BEST NEW RULE IN THE NHL (so far)

    It's a different game. Goals are up. Minor penalties are up. Fighting is down. Somebody leaves with 2 pts guaranteed. I'm not a fan of everything that's new, but with the new rules, I think we'll see a lot more 60 and maybe even 70 goal scorers!

    Solidarity Forever!

    Looks like 90% of teachers are telling Gordon that he can take his legislated end to job action and shove it. The original word I heard was a one day wildcat strike. But a strike occurring on a Friday prior to a long weekend--I'm not sure anyone would have noticed. Parents probably would...
