The Pursuit Of Leisure

100% correct, 50% of the time. A tongue in cheek look at culture both high and low.

Tuesday sports shorts.

I think Ricky Williams would look great in the CFL wearing an Argos uniform. The guy smokes pot. It's really not that big a deal but the NFL's drug policy is draconian. Could you imagine if the NBA started suspending guys for smoking dope? There wouldn't be a league left. Bring Ricky to Toronto for a year. He may even want to stay for a few more.

The French reporter who told Saku Koivu he should learn French since he's the captain of the Montreal Canadiens is a complete idiot. As if Montreal isn't a tough enough city to play in, what with the worst fans in the league and all (Montreal is the worst sports town in Canada), this jackass furthers the image of the "french only" club. This team has a hard time attracting free agents and it just got harder.

The Senators lose two games to go down 0-2 in their series against the Sabres. This really shouldn't surprise anyone. As I've said time and again this is the same old group of gutless Sens. The NHL has changed in style but you still need heart to win and they don't got it. Can we please stop talking about Wade Redden and Daniel Alfreddson as great players, they never do a thing in the playoffs when it counts. Redden had three assists in game 1 and was a minus 3. Alfy looked completely clueless last night. Jason Spezza has didn't do anything at the World Jr. Championships, did nothing in the OHL playoffs, and did nothing in last year's AHL playoffs. The only guy they had who performed in the playoffs was Marion Hossa and they traded him. I would be surprised if this series went 5 games.
