I somehow picked up a game misconduct last nite in ball hockey. Some guys face accidently ran into my stick and then he got really mad about it and threw a hissy fit and the coordinator deemed that was sufficient to throw me out of the game. We were creaming the team at time and ended up losing since we were already short on players, my ejection caused our team to play really short handed.

The problem I find with a lot of opponents is that half the league is full of guys who are trying to overcompensate for their inability to make the NHL as they were growing up by flexing their uber maschismo in a co-ed rec hockey game. So many of these guys try to play hockey at like 200 mph, when really, its a 60 mph game. Worse, is that they go so hard, their bodies are often out of control and they end up hurting other people, and themselves. I think part of the problem is when they do run full speed, they are trying to intimidate the people they are running at, and when that person doesnt move or back down, then they get pissy.

Anyways, that was a first.

Good time waster. But is it really wasting time if you are enjoying what you are doing? is it?

Deadspin is one of the funniest sites I read daily. Heres a tidbit about basketball:

“Mouhamed Saer Sene, who was born in Senegal, has what many believe is not only the largest wingspan in the NBA, but also in all of the animal kingdom, at 7-feet, 9 inches. The only ones greater are those of the condor (9 feet), the albatross (11-1) and the male trumpeter swan (8 feet).”

As many have heard, the big news this week has consisted of former Toronto Maple Leaf Tie Domi banging Liberal MP Belinda Stronach (picture on the right). Here is the full story behind it. In the article it says the Domi also had an affair with Waynes World girl / Relic Hunter Tia Carrere as well in 1999. According to her IMDB page, she had a divorce in 2000. Homewrecker!

I don’t even know why I posted this, but I guess this is pretty big news here in Canada. I have no idea why, but Tie Domi is a fairly popular sports figure here in Toronto, despite the fact he does not have any real hockey talent. Either way, its somewhat interesting.

Also referred to as Cite De Deus (probably the original name). This movie takes a look life in the ghettoes of Rio. Apparantly life is fairly tough there and a lot of people resort to gangs and violence as a means of income. The movie takes place over twenty years and features no cameo appearances by Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho or Giselle Bunchen. However, it does have excellent cinematography and story and will be a movie you will remember for awhile. It is pretty violent, so the sissies should leave this one alone.

It won a bunch of awards too.
