Boston millionaires beat Vancouver millionaires!

with one comment

WHY are these two so oblivious to the great tragedy?

… Lying in the street and seemingly locked in a kiss as chaos erupts around them, a young couple appear oblivious to the charging crowds and baton-wielding riot police.

The photograph, taken amid Vancouver’s hockey riots, has been tweeted around the world. But the photographer who took it is still not sure what the picture really shows.

Canada-based photojournalist Richard Lam took the photograph while covering the riots that followed the Vancouver Canucks’ 4-0 loss to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup. …

who won The PGA Masters?

It was CRAZY at the Masters on Sunday. (Even I had a share of the lead, at one point.)

Some guy with an unlikely name, Charl Schwartzel, was seen walking away with the Green Jacket.

… Next year they should let some American golfers play, aside from Tiger.

Jarome Iginla 1000th Point

leave a comment »

A half arsed Calgary Flames fan since they first arrived in Calgary, … I reckon I’m more proud of Jarome Iginla than any other player.

He’s consistent. Never injured. Reliable year after year.

Iggy has a no trade clause. But has said he would go if asked by management.

Who should the Flames keep?

Jarome? Or this guy?

If Iggy is traded now, … the Flames will be dead to me.

what’s with all the GREEN men?

leave a comment »

Green Man costumes are lycra body suits that are typically worn by people at large sporting events. The first appeared on the TV show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia in 2007, but soon spread onto the internet, and into real life.

They are now used as a distraction tactic at major sporting events. Green Man has several fan pages on facebook, for both the original It’s Always Sunny incarnation, and provincial “Green Men” who appear regularly on college campuses and at local games.

But he’s staying on with the Calgary Flames as a special assistant to acting General Manager Jay Feaster.

Cool.
