Good of the Oshawa Generals to get around to retiring Bobby Orr's number from his junior days. Of greater interest, what took them so long?...local boy Dwayne DeRosario was being heavily touted as a possible designated player - one whose salary doesn't count against the cap - for Toronto FC next year. That'd be fantastic. Maybe the two first round picks, currently the top two picks, get a deal done. TFC drew with DeRo's Houston Dynamo, playing their most inspired game in months...New York Met Johan Santana is now unbeaten in 18 starts. And to think he'd have been a Yankee for Ian Kennedy and Melky Cabrera. The Mets and Milwaukee Brewers are all square going to Game 162 of the season today. Could be a play-in game tomorrow...Hull City downed Arsenal in a shocker of a result yesterday in English Premier League action. They're the surprise of the season so far...cannot believe the NHL season starts in less than a week now. More surprising is that the Leafs twice appeared above the fold in the Toronto Star this week despite far more pressing sporting events on the go such as, well, everything else...wow are the Toronto Argos ever brutal. 20 points total scored the last two games...Ole Miss downed Florida in NCAA football action, continuing a week of some big time upsets...Sam Mitchell says he hasn't sworn in months and won't be going forward. I call fuckin' bullshit...Week 4 of the NFL goes today and it is the first bye week of the year. For the PrimeTime picks (4-4, +3), going to ride Chicago +3.5. With Brian Westbrook and Donovan McNabb a little nicked up, tough to take the Eagles on the road against a team with a strong defence. Also liking Cleveland +3.5 and San Diego -9 today. Get your wagers in at Pinnacle...have a great Sunday.

So far, Arsenal have lost to teams like Hull and Fulham, while grabbing the wins against unspectacular teams such as WBA, Bolton, Newcastle and Blackburn. Wonder what will happen when they actually play a quality side. Next week Sunderland is waiting, could go both ways really.
having Lindros's number retired before Orr's is a disgrace....
i watched Orr play with the Gens when i was a kid...he would actually kill penalties by himself ( carry the puck up and down the ice for 2 mins )...nobody could touch him or keep up to him...it was mind-boggling to watch
one of my favourite childhood memories is sitting on my front porch talking to Orr about hockey ( he was billited at a lawyer's house 2 doors down from me )...there were also many nights when he joined us in a game of street hockey with the neighborhood kids
a true gentleman and the best to ever play the game....period !
That third comment on the article about Smitch's profanity is freaking brilliant.
