Happy Birthday 2012 Allen!

The Argos have made arrangements with the local school boards to bring in thousands of kids to a pre-season game where they can meet the players and get their autographs. http://cfl.ca/article/argos-change-pre-season-kickoff-time-for-students

Happy Birthday 2012 jazzkrow!

Happy Birthday Claude!

I heartily agree with Sweet Georgia Brown. And I don't care if I never hear My Funny Valentine again.

The Canadian press is making a big deal about how it's theoretically possible that only one Canadian team, Vancouver, will make the playoffs.

That's right, Moose. In 1972 I had the opportunity to buy a used low mileage Saint Volvo for $4,000, but I couldn't afford it.

The Bombers announced today that they set a team record for operating profit last year with $3 million in the black. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=392030

About twenty years ago I took a date to see Janis Siegel with Fred Hersch in Atlanta. There was a power outtage, and as we all waited outside we were told that the fire marshal prohibited the concert from being performed.

Happy Birthday 2012 Kyo!

Thanks guys!

Jim, do you have an Amazon link for this one?

I watched a 1958 episode of Peter Gunn two nights ago and was surprised to see that his car was a... Desoto!

LOL! I had two tickets, and I didn't get a single number!

That's great, Pete! What I've always wondered is...If these food are such poison, how has mankind made it for over 100,000 years eating them?

Here's a brief but interesting article that lists six foods that we've been told for years we should stay away from that are now being touted. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/03/28/6-forbidden-foods-can-eat/?intcmp=obnetwork

One of my favorite albums in college was Herbie Mann's Standing Ovation at Newport with Chick Corea and Dave Pike. I still have it somewhere in a box, but I haven't heard it in years. I found three of the four songs for 69 cents each. There's my two dollars right there!

LOL @ Moose!

The NHL Calgary Flames have owned 5% of the Stamps for the past few years. Today they increased the amount to 70%, at a price which values the team at $15 million. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/flames-buy-majority-stake-in-stampeders/article2385922/ http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=391692 John Hufnagel agreed to a five-year extension of his contract, so there should be no major changes regarding the football operations of the team. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=391717

Happy Birthday 2012 jlhoots!

I'll be one of those coming out of the woodwork!

Stan Kasten and Magic Johnson are getting the Dodgers for a whopping $2 billion. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseball/la-dodgers-sold-to-group-with-magic-johnson/article2383660/

The Als have signed Luc Mullinder again. http://tsn.ca/cfl/feature/?id=54526 ***** Dave Naylor has a good column comparing Tim Tebow's situation to Doug Flutie's - basically, he is too much of a distraction to be a second string quarterback, so nobody wants him. But I remember that Flutie played for $1 million a year when the Canadian dollar was worth 60 cents. Would Tebow be willing to play in the CFL for current CFL wages? By the way, the Ticats have the neg rights to Tebow. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=391521

Remember Carl Hairston of the Philadelphia Eagles? Today the Lions named him their defensive line coach. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=391163
