This And That

A couple of pictures have been creating waves over the past couple of days and I'm really not sure why.






















This is New England Patriots Rob Gronkowski along with a friend of his--Bibi Jones. Ms. Jones is a porn actress. There was tremendous controversy over this picture being snapped. ???? Are the two doing anything explicit in this picture? No! Would it be different is Ms. Jones was Gronkowski's wife? Would it be different if Jones was a nurse or a waitress or something else.  I don't see anything wrong with this woman (porn star or not) wearing his jersey. Who cares? Wayyyyy too big a deal was made of this.

While way too big a deal was made of that, it was nothing compared to what Raffi Torres went through. I think Torres is one of those guys that the NHL doesn't need because he is an idiot on skates, but to attack him because he made his face black and went to a Hallowe'en party as rapper Jay-Z is a witch hunt. Its Hallo-frickin-ween. I'm sure there were many who went to parties in outfits that were politically uncorrect  or in outfits that weren't there. To get on Torres' case for this is wrong.

Yes, the Riders are out of the playoffs, but you have to admit its going to be a great last weekend and playoffs. Any of the six teams left could win the Grey Cup and I don't think we've been able to say that for a long time. There's no guarantee that Montreal is coming out of the East this year.
------
When will the Riders announce who their new head coach is? I can't see it being until after the Grey Cup. I will say January 10th. No, I have no idea who the new man will be and it depends a lot as to whether or not GM Brendan Taman is back.

Darian Durant made a comment yesterday in reacting to the Ken Miller announcement that was seemingly swept under the carpet. Durant openly wondered where the 2011 team would be if Andy Fantuz, Rob Bagg and Brent Hawkins had been around all year. We'll never know, but we can guess.

Phillip Rivers fumbles a snap deep in Kansas City territory Monday night  late in the 4th quarter with San Diego about to kick a game winning field goal. It results in the Chiefs coming back to win the game in overtime. Rivers doesn't take a lot of  heat for that happening. Imagine if that had happened to Tony Romo in the Sunday night game or any game for that matter.

Would Tim Tebow make a good CFL quarterback?

If the NFL playoffs started today, the Lions, Bills, Bengals and Texans would all be in.

Is this pumpkin an NHL playoff pumpkin or not. The answer---NO, because there is a Flame in it!!!!

How much do you think the Flames braintrust look north at what is happening in Edmonton and wonder if they should take the same approach and start blowing everything up. They are slow and they are bad!

Will Teemu Selanne ever slow down?

Is Alex Ovechkin still the most dynamic player in the NHL?

I love John Tortorella. The guy is gold. He's also bang on when it comes to Joe Thornton.

I saw a Christmas ad on TV today. That's wayyyyyyy too early.
-----
I understand Five Guys and Fries has opened in Harbour Landing. How long will the first wave be and when do I go?
-----
Some people that didn't want to give the Pats credit were quick to pounce last week saying they couldn't compete with the Saskatoons and Moose Jaws. What are those people saying now after a 2-1 home ice win over the Blades Tuesday night.
-----
How many kids did you get for Hallowe'en. Casa de Blair had less than 20.
-----
Tim Hortons is now making lasagna? It can't be better than their chili.
-----
If you want to know who your real friends are, deactivate your Facebook a week or two before the big day and see how many "friends" still wish you a happy birthday?

Good on the Pats for winning tonight over the Blades but the did drop games in Moose Jaw and Saskaton last week. Still a very impressive start and I don't think anybody expected this from them. Great job by Lang and Conacher.

You got lucky if you only had 20 kids. I'm up in the northwest end and we had close to 90. I thought we might run out, but we survived.

The CFL playoffs will be outstanding this year. Moreso if the Riders were there of course.

What's the problem with Rob Gronkowski ?
He's a millionaire young NFL star, has a body that 99% of us men will never achieve and he's dating a porn star. Good for him, I'd high five him if I knew him !

The Gronkowski photo is no bid deal, given that we are talking about an NFL star. Consider however what the reaction might be in the CFL if there was a similar photo but with Weston Dressler.

The Riders need a coach by December 15 so he can familiarize himself with everything and not rush going into free agency. It will help if Hoppy and O'Day can get Fantuz's name on a contract.

Any coach that needs two months to get up to speed on pending free agents in an eight team league probably isn't much of a coach.

The Tim's Lasagna is very similar to the Hamburger Helper Lasagna. Its decent, but not better than the chili.
