Found my football the other day in the garage, as I was going through my stuff to stick in the for sale pile... and today, just after it stopped raining, took the almost wife out to the park to toss it around.
It was kinda fun... for about 15 minutes, 'cause sports aren't really her thing, and neither of us was catching what the other threw.
Then it was off to 3SN.. and here we are.

16 Draws a Crowd
You know you're da' Pope when you get to sport that hat, and cruise the dig in the pope-moblie.
You know you're da' Pope when you can call up heads of state and get a face to face, with or without an apointment.
You know you're da' Pope when you can roll into town, any town and draw a crowd of thousands. 25,000-30,000 Youth at any NYC Rally... presented the Pope with the Papal Stakeboard.
You know you're da' Pope when you get to pick your new name, and instead of being the 1st you pick the 16th..
Benedict, you da' Pope.

The Best Kind of Hockey
It's kinda funny, all the guys around the station dig different hockey teams.
Tim bleeds blue and white, Woody's into the Sen, AJ the Stars, Ben like the Blues and Steve picks the Oilers... I'm different, I'll cheer for anyone that's playing those goys (It really bugs Tim)
I'm not a sports nut, I'll watch the odd game, and Saturday nights the CBC's always on, but I don't have my own team.
However, I love playoff hockey!
You play hurt, you play hard, and you skate the whole time... 'cause tonight could be your last game for the season. There isn't a team out there, that's looking to win 3 out of the next 5... no, every team is looking for the sweep, 4 in a row.
Rest up and smoke the next guys that stand between them and the cup.
Then there's the playoff beard, how's yours growing? Maybe if I was a die hard Devils fan, I could keep mine for than 48 hours.
Go! (insert your team here) Go!
Get your loud on.

Beijing Maybe a Bad Idea
The Olympic flame is having a tough go trying to get to Beijing, you know the story.
China's a poor human rights record, Tibet etc etc...
In London and Paris protesters are having their say, and Olympic officials have to keep re-lighting the torch.
Here's a silly question why doesn't some suggest or demand that their country not go to Beijing?
Seriously!
What's more import winning gold, competing on the world stage, or that the basic rights and freedoms we have are extended to everywhere?
Did you every see the movie Stick It?... in essence these girls made it to the finals for their national team, but the judging was so arbitrary that they scratched each their events, picking their own winner.
What if Canadians were to do the same? I know these guys train for years, and Canada's overall performance isn't where we want it, but picture it.
A runner never leaves the blocks, a diver never leaves the board, a gymnast never makes a twirl live before the world, 'cause of social injustice.
Now picture another country following suit, then another and another!
If the Olympics are about the world coming together, wouldn't this be the coolest statement ever?
