Well, it's European handball playoff season over here. I think. Who can fucking tell? Women's handball is more popular than men's, at least on TV... Watching the German channel right now - they've got the cross country skiing thing with the guns like it's the most important event in the history of mankind. There's a Canadian woman somewhere. Oh look, she's in 112th place.
Are all sports... dumb? Probably. I can remember the look on artsy dudes faces walking by the ballpark - they weren't thinking baseball looked cool. I used to think, "fuck the artsy guys - they don't know shit". But, maybe the slick fuckwads had a point? When I think back to the games I played as an only child, throwing a tennis ball against the wall, making up some idiotic system where Canada would narrowly beat Russia in dramatic fashion, if I could throw the ball so it bounced in a puddle or in between two cracks - what's the difference between a dumbass game and a professional sport? What's the difference between a cult and a religion?
That said, I absolutely love the Leafs, no matter how crap they are. The NFL isn't bad either.

The Leafs will be shit for years and it got worse when stupid head traded for Phil Kessel and gave away our first rounders.....not sure if you have noticed from over there but a couple teams who have picked up multiple first rounders are playing better than the Leafs(Chicago, Islanders). I will always be a fan but the Leafs have made some brutal mistakes by GMs in the last 5 years that will cripple their optins for the next 5 unless they open the purse strings and get really good players rather than overpaying mediocre ones(kubina, blake, raycroft, hal gill).
Blake seems like he's using a wet noodle for a stick... His departure will be a boost. 5 years sounds about right, but I'm optimistic the team can again finish 9th this year!
