  Man, all this steroid business is getting me depressed. How about we lighten things up by harkening back to some fonder times...like last week and my recent trip out east? Sound good? Good. No mention of A-Rod, Roger Clemens, Barry Bond, Miguel Tejad...

  Ok. You got some bucks to bet on some Sunday sporting events. Here's where to put your money. Don't worry, I realize that times are tight. The only advice coming out of HQ is financially solid. So much so that would put even Suze Ormond or that craz...

  I don't know why this NFL season is so wacky. I don't know why I'm even keeping an half and eye on it. And like I've said a million times, I know practically nothing about football.BUT...I do know one thing for certain. And that is if John Gruden is ...

• Sunday Drive

  Posted on Sunday January 11th, 2009 at 17:46 in nfl, eagles, andy reid, new york giants, donovan mcnabb

  There is nothing more daunting than attempting to enter a Costco on the second Sunday in January, during an economic recession. While I am not shackled to the TV watching the NFL playoffs like the rest of North America, I did keep half an eye on the ...

  ...from ESPN...."Sundin scored his first goal on his first shot since joining Vancouver"....Yup...Too bad we couldn't take down these increasingly terrifying Sharks...4-2 the final...Perhaps we need to sign Roy Scheider......the Titanic resurfaces......

  ...it's the City Of Brotherly Love.That's right the Philadelphia Eagles won their Wild Card playoff match tonight against Minnesota and the Maniwaki line reads that they'll hoist the Vince Lombardi trophy on Sunday, Feb 1. Sounds ludicrous? Maybe. ...

  When I was a lad playing ball in rural Saskatchewan there was one year that wasn't so hot. We sucked. It wasn't supposed to happen but yet it did. We did everything right as a team. We had a bunch of eager lads that tried their hardest. That cared ab...

  Ok. I rarely watch football. Maybe the Superbowl. Maybe a playoff game or the Grey Cup if the Riders are in it. I don't even really have one NFL team, but more of a slate of good vs evil. Yet for some reason, I was drawn to the Bears/Packers match...

• NFL Felony Follies

  Posted on Sunday November 30th, 2008 at 22:21 in nfl, super bowl, michael vick, plaxico burress, pro bowl

  I really have to start following the NFL more. And as I've said before, not the on field dramas involving impossible late game drives, devastating sacks and hail mary heroics. I mean I must pay more attention to the absolutely stunning spectacle that...
