With word breaking yesterday that Boston Roid Sox, I mean Red Sox, players Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz tested positive for steroids back in 2003, it makes you realize how tainted that sport has become over the past decade (and then some). The first question that you must be asking is “how come we’re just getting the 2003 results now?” Well, there were 120 some of them that tested positive that year, so with the probable increase every year after that, the people doing the testing are just way too busy to get the results out in a timely matter. Yeah, the situation is probably THAT BA

The Great One is about to become one of the stars of ESPN’s 30 for 30. The documentary will be directed by the man behind Friday Night Lights, Peter Berg, and he will focus on the 1998 trade that sent Wayne Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings. The series will air between October 2009 and December 2010, with no exact date set yet for Gretzky. I can’t believe how long ago this was already. I still remember being in the cool basement during a blazing summer day, playing some kind of wicked game on my commodore 64, when my mom came downstairs and broke the news. I moved over the to couch, a

NHL.com and the NHL Network will be doing a 30 teams in 30 days thing in August, where they will be doing a team a day, going over their off-season moves, what they need, what they don’t, where they expect them to finish, etc. Here is the schedule: I imagine this is going to be pretty mainstream, and probably not too exciting. Here are some things that I’d like to see them go over: Who will be the biggest cry baby on the team Who will catch the most tail on a road trip Which married player will catch the most road trip tail Who’s famous girlfriend will end up on the jumbo tr

Well isn’t this interesting. About half an hour ago I got an email from twitter saying: Hey there. Can’t remember your password, huh? It happens to the best of us. Please click on the link below our copy and paste the URL into your browser: (cut) This will reset your password. You can then login and change it to something you’ll remember. WTF? I didn’t request that… So just now I go to tweet about it, and tweetie said that I’m not authorized… WTF? So I head over to the web interface only to read a message that I’ve been locked out of my twitter account. Looks like some

Holy crap I had no idea that Gary Bettman was in fact the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase in disguise! Seriously though, is anyone else as surprised as me to hear that Bettman is pulling in $7 million a year?! I just about fell of the couch when I heard that one. The million dollar man, I mean Bettman, was making $3.77 million pre-lockout, and is now making serious gravy post-lockout. So let me get this straight, the players are capped as to how much they can make after the lockout, but the head of the league gets his salary almost doubled? That’s a little odd don’t you think? Oh wel

The one punch knockout has always been exciting for fight fans, and hockey fans that love a good tilt at center ice. This morning I came across a post entitled 10 Incredibly Entertaining One Punch Knock Outs, and no surprise that the Downey / Boulerice fight made the list. Here are the videos in no particular order. Some are sport related, others are just some bad fights caught on tape. Which one is your favourite?

This Thursday the NHL is set to say goodbye to one of it's best and most popular players of the last two decades. Joe Sakic, current longest serving captain in the NHL, and the only captain the Avalanche have ever had, will announce his retirement at a press conference on July 9th at 1pm. Sakic was always a favorite of mine, and I just loved watching him in a Team Canada jersey. He had a lethal shot, was classy,

Looks like my favourite game ever, NHL 09 is going to see some big improvements in the form of NHL 10. First person fighting, board play, face washing after the whistle are going to be some great additions. Players will also be able to bat the puck outta the air and glove it down to their stick. I wonder how the after whistle antics will play out. I remember on some of the original NHL games for the genesis e
