Why does the JETS new NHL logo look like it was created by Air Canada?

Why does this one look like it was invented by Molson Canadian?  It looks like it belongs on a beer can.

This is the 3rd logo which seems to capture the military theme they were going for the most.

Are any of these fake JETS logos better than the 3 real ones above?  Some are fan-made, while others are legit logos that were in the running to be the official logo of the Winnipeg Jets:

A lot to choose from, no doubt.  What one caught your eye the most?  The jerseys haven’t been unveiled yet, but I say good choice on the blue-red-silver combo.  If you wanna be a champion, dress like a champion; dress like the New England Patriots.

                              That fuzzy white spot is Tiger’s golf ball milliseconds before smashing into the camera that snapped this picture.  It sort of looks like the camera guy stuck his mug out of the gallery and impeded the path of the ball to get this picture when in truth, the camera guy was exactly where he was supposed to be.  Tiger simply duffed the shot to the right and THWACK.  What’s even more incredible about this picture is the smiling dude with the cigar on the right side of the frame.  Who smokes with both hands in their pockets?  Amazing!

Whoops.  Did I say ‘Lanny’ in the blog heading?  The other McDonald.  Ronald might not be apart of the team this coming season but, unforunately, that jersey will be.  What shocks me is that someone was paid good money for designing this.  Anyone’s 4 year-old child could do better.  Notice how they unveiled this AFTER they signed free agents because no one would have joined the Flames knowing they’d have to sport that uniform at some point this season.  Please.  If you’re considering trading $200 for your very own version of this jersey, seek help immediately.  I guess what I’m trying to get at is this – I don’t like the jersey.  If you dig it, great.  Yes, I will tease you, but don’t let that stop you from wearing it loud and proud (the loudness of it is completely supplied by its designer).

Are you telling me in all of Chicago – the 3rd largest city in the US of A – they couldn’t find a better artist to depict the captain of their hockey squad, Jonathan Toews? 

Here’s the new mural in Chicago that has fans of the Blackhawks irate!  And yet, it’s not the bad artistry that has fans angry – it’s something else completely.  See for yourself by clicking here.

Talked about this on the show and of course it was tough to run down the entire list of 60 so here is the link to the full list of sports ranked from TOUGHEST to LEAST TOUGHTEST.

Keep in mind, the ‘tough’ doesn’t necessarily mean muscular and good at fighting. They didn’t calculate the list by analyzing who would win a fight between a tennis player and a bull rider, for example.

“Tough” for this list means “difficult.” ESPN break it down to 10 specific categories and skills. So when you scream out loud, “How is Tennis tougher than Rugby?” the categories of evaluation will be the answer.

For the full list of 60 sports listed from MOST DIFFICULT to LEAST DIFFICULT, click here.

As for your bonus code, while I would like to make it the sport that finished first or even dead last, that would be ruining the surprise so instead we’ll declare it after the people responsible for today’s blog entry… “ESPN”

Riders WIN the Grey Cup of 2007. And the Rider Nation is partying like it’s 1989, the year they last won the championship.

Ah yes… 1989.

The Simpons was a brand new show. Movie goers were excited about Batman, Back to the Future II and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Or maybe you were geeked out to see Ghostbuster II.

In music, the Seatle grunge hadn’t exploded yet. Pearl Jam didn’t yet exist. Nobody knew who Kurt Cobain was. In ’89 Madonna was queen, The Bangles still had a career, Paula Abdul was making music rather than judging it, and my girlfriend loved the New Kids on the Block.

The new President of the US was George Bush… Senior.

I remember that was the year that the USSR pulled out of Afghanistan. The USSR, you ask? That’s right, the last time the Riders won, Russia wasn’t a country yet, they were apart of the the Soviet Union.

That reminds me… the last time the Riders won there was a Cold War. Germans in East and West Berlin were dismantling a wall that had been dividing the city

Here in Canada, we were still 2 years away from paying 7% of a Government Sales Tax.

The last time the Riders wond the Grey Cup, Nintendo began selling the Game Boy in Japan. It hadn’t reached North America yet.

I could go on but I’d rather ask you – what do you remember about 1989? Click the headline above to post your message.
