TSN ran a "Free Agency Frenzy" show yesterday afternoon and two of the analysts panned the signing of Jeff Finger by the Leafs as the worst signing of the day. Not hard to believe that the Leafs gave their fans the Finger. That, and they signed Cujo, to gales of laughter. In other news, Darcy Tucker got bought out, and ultimately got a raise when the Colorado Avs signed him taking his yearly average above what he was due to make in Toronto. Clearly, the system is flawed...as if I needed another reason to hate Chelsea, they've now inked Deco, easily my most hated player...personal seat licenses in the Dallas Cowboys new stadium are running anywhere from $2,000 to $150,000. How reasonable!...Canadians drink an average of 68.3 L of beer per year, well down the global charts. Czech Republic is tops at 156.9, followed by Ireland at 131.1 and Germany at 115.8. Even the U.S. is ahead at 81.6. And, we're just ahead of Portugal which is about as embarrassing as Canada's global soccer ranking. Do something about this this weekend, people...Mats Sundin is said to be leaning toward Detroit or the New York Rangers, despite a two year, $20 million offer from Vancouver...the Yankees are 20-8 against the Texas Rangers the last three seasons. Strangely, seven of those losses have come in New York...Toronto FC waited until the last 20 minutes before showing they had a lot more to offer than the Vancouver Whitecaps, but it was too late as the Caps won 1-0 in CONCACAF Champions League play. The upside? English Premier Leaguers Darren Huckerby and Paul Dickov were in the TFC owners box. Memo to Mo: Sign one or both. Now...if Jose Calderon went and fired his agent and only signed a one year deal with the Raptors, he just might be the most moronic negotiator ever. The Raptors also signed former second round pick PG Roko Ukic to back up Calderon...the way the Tampa Bay Rays are going, they just may run away with the AL East. They're now 2.5 up on Boston...have a great Wednesday.

who the hell is Jeff Finger ????
i like the Cujo signing..i said last year that he would have made a perfect back-up for Toskala....1 year at $700,000 is reasonable and he'll only be expected to start between 10-20 games if Toskala remains healthy....when i talked to Cujo last year he was in great physical and mental health...it's a good move by Fletcher as it gives Pogge 1 more year with the Marlies to mature
oh and i still say Sundin lands in New York :)
btw TB..have you checked MLB's American Central standings lately ?
Don't I know it. All that pitching on Cleveland and not a sniff of hitting.
I'm good for 8-10 pints a week...in and around 234L a year...take that Portugal.
Yeah I asked that same question about Finger when I heard about the signing. How the hell do you sign a 28 year old guy with exactly one full season of experience and not a really great one at that to a deal that's going to pay him more than Henrik Zetterberg makes. Freaking ridiculous. I like the Hagman signing slightly better.
That Sundin offer is insane. Highest paid player in the league if he signed it. If he doesn't clearly no one wants to play in Vancouver.
Oh and Mango, Jose had two agents, Spanish guy and American guy, he figured he didn't need American guy at this point and let him go.
i dont like that deco signing, chelsea already have to many 30 plus players. i would like to see robinio from real madrid {not sure if i spell his name right}. how about all this NHL players trying to avoid canadian teams. edmonton offer 9 mil to hossa and this guy signed for 7.4 in detroit. Nobody wants to play in vancoover? i would die to have place there. this world turns upside down. total horse shit.
