In on that, the fact that the Sox lick balls this year helps.

It's still early. They will make a run at in the AL East

I'll tell you who in Toronto has NOT forgotten that hockey is being played. Maple Leafs fans.

There are some profoundly damaged and embarrassingly bitter Leafs fans who have every kind of irrational thought about what is going on right now. I guess when there is so seldom anything to actually cheer for, they start contriving angles.

They are messed up as fok but they sure as shit know that hockey is being played.

I always find it interesting when I turn on a sporting event with no preconceptions and discover I am cheering for one team.

Case in point: just turned on the basketball game and apparently I have a strong preference for San Antonio. No idea why.

Silver and black makes a cool color scheme.

Yay?

Meanwhile there is labor unrest in the Canadian Football League. Negotiations have broken down and there is a chance of strike.

The CFL. Chance of strike.

Dan Marino has joined in the big class action suit against the NFL about concussions.

Marino, 52, is an intriguing person to sue the NFL. The complaint does not allege that he has suffered a specific long-term neurological injury, instead asserting that some of plaintiffs have suffered an increased risk of long-term illness from playing in the NFL.

Gotta say - I find this lawsuit stupid-ass. JMO. As for Marino joining in under his circumstances, unless he has some specific agenda to fuck up the future of the NFL as much as possible, I'm not getting it.

One of the more powerful articles you'll ever read as Dan Marino visits long time rival Jim Kelly who is battling oral cancer

Total class act and great guy too

Very talented actor as the original Ace Ventura showed as well

Meanwhile our Canadian tennis playing hunnybun, Eugenie Bouchard, continues to make Canadian history as she makes it to her second straight Grand Slam semi-final at the French Open.

Good work there. Holy shit.

Next she plays the Glamorous Grunter, Maria Sharapova. Apparently the two have known each other for awhile

If anyone can tell me when the match is, I would appreciate it. Seems like a simple enough question but I'm looking and not seeing.

 

[Mudcat]

No but seriously man, is it some kind of closely guarded state secret? Where do I find the the time/date of the frigging match?

 

[bacon]

Don't think it's determined yet http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/scores/schedule/index.html?promo=sumscores

 

[Mudcat]

Well what kid of shit is that?

Determine that shit man.

Determine it.

Oh dear

I have put a little reminder for myself to see how she did when I wake up.

If she makes the final and it is the same sort of timing, I just might make a point of getting up for it.


This is what my reminder for tomorrow morning says: Oojnee

Greg Popovich says he likes everyone.

I think that alone will push the Spurs to a championship in 5 games.

Rainbows and unicorns are a hell of an equalizer in an NBA matchup.

Casp if Popo gave you one of his patented blurt out at you and walk away interviews when you simply asked him how he thought the 1st half went, how would you respond?
