...with
John Gallagher.
Yes, Yes, yes, yes good citizens south
of the 49th paralell welcome to Big League Babble-on (get
it ?...I love that )
It is your sportspal from Toronto, 2-time Canadian sportscaster
of the year in this country, John Gallagher. I'll pick
up those accolades later. ! Either way my mother thanks
you..my father thanks you, and well...you know the rest.
Some random thoughts from my sick twisted so called mind.
Sooooooo, how are we getting along during the NHL lockout
? Yo Vinnie from Queens, do you give a fiddlers you know
what? Ahhh, but here the land of Michale J. Fox, good
beer, and Canadian cold fronts it's alot different. You
know, It's pretty bad when not only are the two sides
not talking. They're yelling at each other through us
! I see one of Gary 'the weasel' Bettmans cronies Bill
Daly made his way up to Toronto to talk with the local
scribes this week. Mmm, I'd like to spank that bald head
like a red headed stepson ! I mean, is he an NHL middleman
or a bouncer The Air Canada Centre's pub ?
You know, it's just not quite a Saturday night without
Bob Cole of the long running Hockey Night In Canada telecast
"It can be any tighter than game 6" holler as
he described game 7 of the Leaf-Philly series in the spring
of 2003 "Then again...how do you know...it could
be !"
"Conjunction Junction, what's your function ?"
Off sports for a tad, Is it just me, or are some of people
in this business of show we live and breath in trying
to out do themselves on a weekly (or is that weakly) basis
? I know..too easy.
The Janet Jackson so called wardrobe malfunction at the
Super Bowl ? A complete set up. The Tara Ried "stop
'em from floppin" disaster ? No complaints here,
but come on, could you NOT feel the cool November breeze
blowing across your mis-shaped left breast ? How about
Anna Nicole Smiths desperate cry for help...or more delicious
Australian chardonnay ? What do you think ? She'll be
on the cover of US, People and those rag-tag, suitable
for wrapping fish tabloids on Monday. Whoops...wait ...Jessica
Simpson just lost her wedding ring and Britney and serial
bride J-Lo are both preggers, oh and the MIR space station
has spotted a crater on Mars that's in the shape of Donny
Mosts head! Whoa, there's an impulse buy!
This week, there was Cameron Diaz and Justin 'look out
for those flying water bottles at SARStock " Timberlake
attack on a cameraperson spawning on of my 2 new favourite
word of the week "stalkerazzzi".
My favorite word ?. Slam Dunk. "Bridezilla"
named for that no-talent Starr (there SHOULD be two 'r's
as opposed to one) Jones .What an embarrasment...allthough
I'd love as a back up in goal on my Thursday night beer
league hockey team. (editors note ..too much ?)..
Other stuff. This weeks Grey Cup (our Canadaian Football
League's championship showcase) will be a ratings bonanza,
but it would have been more fun with Montreal and Saskatchewan
fans invading and in turn livening up dank dark and dreary
Ottawa, our nations capital . Besides these are 2 teams
that have had a huge fan base for years, not like the
Lions and Argos. Don't scrape your knees as you attempt
to jump on the bandwagon, people!
And don't worry my Yankee friends, the British Columbia
Lions will never be America's Team ! And finally sayings
in the sports lexicon that have to go to far far away
land. Are you ready ? "having said that" .."at
the end of the day"..."but I digress"...They're
as outdated as most of those SNL catch phrases from the
last 29 years..."buh bye" anyone?
and with that...buh bye now. Stop it !
Greetings from the Great White North. Mmm, what would
Marty McSorley do ?
As John so humbly noted... he is the 2-time Canadian
Sportscaster of the year! Converted to USA funds that's
the equivalent of 3 People's Choice Awards and a Latin
Grammy!
React to this week's commentary in
THE ENDZONE!
