Best And Worst Of The Weekend

Best--The last hour of "The Barclays". Golf fans had to love the final stages of the final round on Sunday. Steve Stricker and Heath Slocum trying to hold off a charging group that included Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington and Ernie Els. In the end, Slocum managed to win after draining a 20 foot putt that avoided a playoff.

Worst--The removal of Paul Kelly as head of the NHL players association. Something is definitely wrong here, and I think we the fans could suffer. This is starting to look as if the association want a Bob Goodenow type individual to assume the throne and I am very worried when I hear the name Buzz Hargrove. The same Buzz Hargrove that used to be the head of the Canadian Autoworkers Union. Methinks the NHL is in for some more labour problems in the near future. Brace yourself!

Two other issues are catching my eye this morning. One is a story saying a study has been released showing women are indifferent when it comes to pro sports. In another startling discovery, its been discovered most men like steak and a cold beer. Who's kidding who....the only reason some women watch sports is to watch guys in their tight football pants or to make their boyfriend/husband cringe when that obvious statement is uttered. That statement being "Who's he....he's kinda cute." My wife is an NFL fan, but not a big one and my teenage daughter couldn't care less about pro sports. Here's the entire story if you want to read it.....

The other story revolves around Megan Fox. The "Transformers" star is seen by many as the hottest woman on the planet right now. As I have stated earlier, she's OK, but she's not what many paint her out to be.....at least not in my eye. Anyhoo, she will guys fantasizing after they hear about this....

Best--Two great CFL games this weekend that went right down to the final seconds. If this is what parody is doing to the league, I'm all for it.

Worst--Once again, there were just two CFL games to watch. BRUTAL!! We won't have to endure that again until playoffs though. Thank goodness.

I hope the Riders are coming back to work with their teeth bared looking to beat the you know what out of Bishop on Sunday

Best - Matt Ryan to Brian Finneran. Matt Ryan to Marty Booker! Matt Ryan to Tony Gonzalez. Matt Ryan to Roddy White.

Worst - Ferrari's Kimi Raikonnen Wins in Spa. I was really hoping Ferrari would go winless this year. Props to Giancarlo Fisichella and Force India for a first-ever podium. (First time in the points, even.)

Best--Nik Lewis flattening that guy from Toronto. As a guy who played WR in high school and one year of university, you live for hits like that!!! It was clean too

Worst-Randy Couture losing.

Best-Hearing the Pats lost all three games this weekend in Edmonton.

Worst-No highlights of the best happening so I could see how s###tty they played. That team won't win more than 25 games this year. Talk about a dysfunctional group.

Women aren't pro sports fans. The guy penning this study is amazing. What a shocker!! What's next? Is he going to come out with a report saying most men like porn! Seriously, who's giving this guy government money to conduct studies like this and how can I get in on this gravy train. What a joke!

Mitch -

THANK YOU for helping me not be the only former radio sports guy who thinks Buzz Hargrove is a scary freakin' name circling around the NHLPA. What did this guy do to the North American auto industry? Hmmm...shall we step back 10 months and revisit?

If he becomes head of the NHLPA, it'll be more union than ever, and we can expect a lockout or strike after each and every CBA expires. Whoo hoo.

Oh yeah, and Megan Fox is Bi, and likes kissing girls - WHOO HOO!!!!! Now, I won't be able to sleep.
