Friday June 27th, 2008 - Olé!
Spain dominated Russia virtually start to finish, and found another gear in the second half to cruise to a 3-0 win. Fernando Torres played his best game of the tourney and Cesc Fabregas came on early for David Villa and was the difference, really. Spain wins Sunday. Bank on it. They're better than Germany in every way - goal, defence, midfield, attack, and bench...an impressive week for the Maple Leafs. First, Darcy Tucker, Kyle Welwood and Andrew Raycrap are cleaned out in one fell swoop, but that left the real cancer: Bryan McCabe. And then today comes word that he too has played his last game in Leafs colours. Sure they may not have much in the way of cap room, but they've needed to get worse before they can get better and for the first time - dare I say it? -it seems there is a credible plan being executed...tough day for the beautiful people at Wimbledon: Maria Sharapova and Andy Roddick, out...Shawn Chacon is a Houston Astro no more after attacking his GM...Scott Niedermayer is coming back for one more year with the Anaheim Ducks. Could he have an eye toward the Olympics?...a whole lot of movements at the NBA Draft last night, hilited by an 8 player deal between Memphis and Minnesota...new Raptors Jermaine O'Neal lauded how much his new team plays defence. Not sure what team he's been watching, but the Raptors certainly don't play defence, and even less so with Jose Calderon tabbed to get major minutes...lively debate in yesterday's blog comments on American Football. Check it out if you've got a moment...speaking of American Football, the Canadian Football League kicked off last night. I'd comment but I haven't gotten that deep into the sports section with all these great articles on more important things like Euro 2008, the NBA Draft etc. You know, things the entire world cares about...would be a great day to be in New York today as the Yankees and Mets do a home and home double header. First game goes 2pm at Shea and then they'll pack up their gear and move to Yankee Stadium for the second game at 8...have a great Friday.

The Raptors play great defense, do they JOuch?
See, this is why I think Colangelo wants to win another EOY award: he's clearly seeking out guys who share the mental capacity of the head coach right now.
Mk, that price was more than fair. Still trying to get hold of my Mexican buddy...will let you know...if you find another buyer that's cool cuz I don't no where the fuck this dickhead is anyway right now.
Let me know - that's $75 for the threesome if GBVH agrees (we're 90% sure, he's just waiting to confirm the third ticket). Obviously want to get rid of the three.
Guess we'll have to move quick on this once it is a go - use PayPal and that kinda thing.
