OHL hockey even attracts scalpers outside Toronto!
February 25th, 2010 by The Rog
The Ontario Hockey League playoffs are almost upon us. Here’s hoping that people in the GTA take notice.
The Barrie Colts and the Windsor Spitfires hooked up at the Barrie Molson Centre last Saturday night and while some Toronto area fans might be surprised to hear this, the game was so hotly anticipated that […]
McGwire’s confession comes far too late
January 11th, 2010 by The Rog
“I have always told the truth and I am saddened that I continue to face this line of questioning.” – Mark McGwire, after being named as a steroids user by Jose Canseco years ago.
So Mark McGwire now admits he did steroids. Way to go Mark.
Now McGwire says he lied. Now McGwire says the pressure […]

Happy New Year everyone! I wanted to take a final opportunity before the decade ends to pass along my sincere best wishes to you and yours for 2010 and beyond, from myself and my family. The Fan 590 has been a huge part of my life for the past 17 years and it’s thanks […]
Woods finds out it’s all about how much people like you
December 12th, 2009 by The Rog
Every major athlete in the world is “overpaid” in the strict definition of that word.
Come on now – millions of dollars a year to play a game a kid plays? Sports is great, sports is a wonderful pastime, sports is a great diversion to real life – but nobody earns millions of dollars […]
Bills in Toronto series is lacking in value
November 25th, 2009 by The Rog
The Buffalo Bills are back in Toronto on Thursday, Dec. 3, as the Bills in Toronto series returns.
Does anybody care?
I have to say, I thought the “National Football League experience” in Toronto was going to be a massive hit. Hey, everybody loves the NFL right? And although the tickets were in my […]
World Series at Yankee Stadium pretty hard to beat
November 3rd, 2009 by The Rog
NEW YORK – There are a lot of great ballparks in the United States worth seeing, and I have been very fortunate to see many of them. But for my money, what I have seen this week is the best of the best – a World Series game at Yankee Stadium (the new Yankee […]
No. 1 Leaf question - can they be patient?
October 19th, 2009 by The Rog
There are still a lot of questions surrounding this year’s Toronto Maple Leafs, but there’s really only one that is vitally important to know the answer to.
It is this one – will everyone involved with this team have the patience to see things through?
I don’t doubt that Brian Burke and Ron Wilson, […]
Blue Jays need to make changes - now
September 15th, 2009 by The Rog
It’s time for the Toronto Blue Jays to make some changes.
No matter what happens the rest of this season, the Blue Jays need to demonstrate to their fans that they haven’t given up in the American League East, by far the toughest division to compete in.
Watching the Blue Jays handle the New […]
Halladay not to blame for Jays mediocrity
August 2nd, 2009 by The Rog
I’m glad Roy Halladay is still a Toronto Blue Jay. For my money he’s the best pitcher in baseball and anytime you are in a team sport and can say that you have the BEST player at any position, you should build around that player, not trade him and build without him.
I don’t care if […]
Kovalev to Senators is a great fit for them both
July 6th, 2009 by The Rog
The signing of Alexei Kovalev by the Ottawa Senators on Monday is a huge one for the club.
There is no doubt that Kovalev is one of the most skilled players in the National Hockey League, and Ottawa seems to be a perfect fit for him for a lot of reasons.
First all, there is […]
