AMERICAN MEDIA TRYING TO PUSH BOSH OUT OF TOWN—BUT IT DOESN’T MEAN THEY WILL
July 2nd, 2009 by michael.hobson
Every time Chris Bosh answers the question with a shrug a collective skittishness envelopes Raptor fans across the country. Understand something-it would be foolish for Bosh to make any statement that would illustrate his plans for his impending free agency. Any good businessman would want to keep his options open, and that is precisely what […]
RAPTORS HAVE A NARROW SEARCH IN THIS DRAFT—THE BEST SCORING WINGMAN AVAILABLE
June 18th, 2009 by michael.hobson
It’s almost as if the economic downturn has affected the Raptors pursuit of young talent. Whether they believe only a few players likely to be available at number nine, or it’s simply the cost of flying draft eligible players into town but the Raps have brought in a small handful for workouts. But then when […]
I AM REALLY NOT TRYING TO RUIN MY HALL OF FAME LEGACY! —BY BRETT FAVRE
June 15th, 2009 by michael.hobson
I know that you can’t tell when I’m writing but I still have that Mississippi drawl-and the reason I mention it is so you know that I’m not one of those high-falutin’ writers with blog space and a headshot! Those guys just drive me right round the block.
I want to take the time to explain […]
THE NHL CONTINUES TO OPERATE WITH THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND
June 3rd, 2009 by michael.hobson
If the whole Jim Balsillie and the Phoenix situation isn’t driving you hockey fans crazy then you certainly must be ready for a hospital bed knowing that the general managers in the league don’t give a damn about the health of their players. I don’t know how a hockey fan can carry any kind of […]
BEESTON THE KEY IF JAYS ARE GOING TO PULL OFF A PEAVY DEAL
June 3rd, 2009 by michael.hobson
When Jake Peavy rejected the recent trade to the Chicago White Sox he effectively let the baseball world, and more specifically the San Diego Padres, know that he would use his no-trade clause as a hammer. No longer were deals involving Peavy aimed at satisfying the team-any interested club would now need to be focussed […]
THE TRADE OF JAKE PEAVY WOULD BENEFIT BOTH THE PADRES AND THE JAYS
May 14th, 2009 by michael.hobson
Watching Scott Richmond getting roasted in the second inning, again, made it all the more apparent to me that for the Jays to succeed in baseball’s toughest division this year they are going to need a veteran to pitch after Doc. And it just so happens that there is a recent Cy Young award winner […]
AT SOME POINT THE NHL IS GOING TO HAVE TO LET BALSILLIE INTO THE BOYS CLUB
May 7th, 2009 by michael.hobson
It is surprising to me that Jim Balsillie is attempting to buy the Phoenix Coyotes in much the same fashion as he did when he tried to buy both Pittsburgh and Nashville. Balsillie is making a more than substantial offer for a team in peril and also making very public overtures about moving the team […]
IF JAYS WANT TO COMPETE THEY NEED TO LOOK OUTSIDE THE ORGANIZATION FOR PITCHING HELP
April 24th, 2009 by michael.hobson
Get HALLADAY some help. It can’t be “DOC AND THE FOUR BABIES” all season long. It’s like a television sitcom with a kind and sage dad having to learn how to deal with his four adolescent children. By the all-star break Doc might be so tired of talking to these kids that he might […]
PETITION TO MOVE JAYS, RAYS AND O’S OUT OF EAST AND INTO CENTRAL DIVISION
April 16th, 2009 by michael.hobson
I think it’s only fair. Since the Yankees and the Red Sox are always going to be among the game’s biggest spenders I think it would be fair if the other teams in the AL (except the west coasters) are forced to spend a few years competing in the AL East. Why should the Rays, […]
COLANGELO HAS OPTIONS AS HE GOES ABOUT REMAKING THE RAPTOR ROSTER
April 9th, 2009 by michael.hobson
This season has been a complete and utter disaster—and I don’t think I am stepping very far over the line in making such a bold statement. This season began with the Raptors aiming to not only make the playoffs but win at least one round and establish themselves, going forward, as an elite team ready […]
