What does lie ahead?
I know there will be a lot of agony and ecstasy in Vancouver.
I know from our perspective as the radio network of the Olympics we will be exhausted when we’re done, but exhilarated while we’re doing what we’re planning for you.
I know Tiger Woods is going to have one heck of a year. […]

Things that really mess me up range from, how come it takes 3 to 5 TTC workers all holding cups of coffee to watch people dumping their money, tickets or tokens (you’ll have to wait on the tokens there Farraway) into a fare box to how come every skier we have in this country male […]

So, the NHL reads this blog.
Only days after giving them some free advice Gary Bettman meets with the guy who sold hockey out of Quebec City and the current Mayor. That current Mayor Regis Labeaume says the discussions in New York were fruitful. In fact said the Mayor we’re going to get back to you […]
