The writing is on the wall concerning Bosh’s future, he’s a goner. From twitter to media speculation to visits to desired destinations, it is clear that Bosh doesn’t want to be the guy in Toronto. This quagmire polarizes fans – Camp A is adamant that Bosh is worth the max contract and is critical to [...]

Check it out! Three minutes long but well worth it. A fitting “sequel” to the “Cage Match” commercial from the last World Cup.

Sports polygamy is a lifestyle many of us look down upon, but behind closed doors, in places we don’t like to talk about, it is a custom many of us practice. We justify the duality of our affection in any number of ways. You may love your favourite player and by proxy want his team [...]

Courtesy of The Dagger, one of the coolest in-game scenarios I’ve ever seen. Two players alley-oop a ball together. Just watch.

According to this report from ESPN, NFL legend Marshall Faulk is encouraging the Chris Johnson Miracle Train to continue holding out for more money. In the words of early-WWF Chris Jericho, someone should tell Marshall Faulk to pleeeeeease just shut…the hell…UP! Seriously Marshall, shut up. Yes, Chris Johnson is holding out for more money. I [...]

Damn Shannon Brown. Seriously…that would have been maybe the greatest dunk in playoff history, and in the discussion for best of all time. Alas, a near miss…you know it’s a good near-dunk when a miss gets you texting friends and out of your seat. (Video courtesy of Ball Don’t Lie)

So, Uhhh, Remember Alex Rios?

Hey, remember Alex Rios? He was one of the Jays top prospects for several years, burst onto the scene with a frustrating one-home-run rookie season, and then spent the next four and a half seasons tormenting Blue Jays fans by showing glimpses of superstar potential but never figuring “it” out? He of the crippling 7-year, [...]

I love these UFC Primetime shows. The current installment, for Rashad Evans v. Quinton Jackson on May 29, promises to be the best yet because of the history of trash-talking between the two parties. Episode 1 was exactly what I expected, full of training highlights, ego-massaging, and a whole lot of shittalking. Head over to [...]

“Why don’t you quit making blogs, try and make some money?” – Fabolous “Yup, I’m back stuntin!” – Fabolous Fabolous sent me home and brought me back. This makes no sense. What an awful way to return to writing. Whatever. Anyway… A great deal has been made around Blue Jay Nation of late as to [...]

10. Ball boys in tennis These little punks are undyingly annoying. They line up like they’re gearing up for the 100m sprint, then dash across the court like the Road Runner. I have to double take that it’s not a drunk, streaking fan. I can only hope that my annoyance will be exchanged with sheer [...]
