The Toronto Star's Doug Smith referred to Toronto Raptors point guard Jose Calderon as "the most important player on the roster". Between that and the ridiculous insights into baseball put forth by Dick Griffin, Star sports is lacking. Good thing for Damien Cox, Dave Feshuk and Cathal Kelly.

The 9-20 New Jersey Nets, winners of 3 of 4, find themselves only 2.5 games out of a playoff spot in the NBA lEast.

I have more than my share of fun cracking on the Toronto Blue Jays and their apologists fans, but am a big fan of the blog Drunk Jays Fans, who don't have the blinders on.
