Could the
Toronto Blue Jays be following the
Raptors and having a good chunk of games on
TSN2? It could be, if their home network of
SportsNet or
TSN don't pick up the slack.
CBC has declined to pick up games after their two year deal expired. Not good days in Jaysland...the conventional thought in the
NFL is it is tough to beat a team three times in one year. Reality is that in the free agency era, when a team has a chance to go 3-0 against a divisional foe, 65% of the time they've managed to do it. So call that another thing leaning towards the
Pittsburgh Steelers...strange
NFL playoff stat:
Eli Manning has no touchdowns and 5 interceptions for his career playing at home...no late revealing of the
PTP today, it is
Manchester United at -1 -110 as they travel to face
Bolton. Catch that game at 10am on
Setanta Sports...if you're a believer in the
Sports Illustrated jinx, you'll know that the
Carolina Panthers were featured on the cover of the last issue. This week? The
Pittsburgh Steelers...
Newcastle United's Shola Ameobi returned home after a road trip with the
Magpies to find his house turned upside down, so he called the police and
reported a burglary, and then proceeded to remember he had left it that way. Nice play,
Shola. Wonder if they test for weed in the
EPL?...pretty understandable why the
Tampa Bay Bucs would bounce coach
Jon Gruden and
GM Bruce Allen - didn't that guy manage
Bryan Adams? - but strange timing, no? Guessing
Gruden is sour about the timing given some of the college jobs that have come and gone, not to mention how far along certain
NFL job interviews have gone. Upside? Maybe
Jerry Jones in
Dallas will see that making a move with strange timing beats no move at all...it almost seems impossible to believe:
Ladanian Tomlinson can be
had for a 4th rounder...has
Toronto Raptor Jason Kapono ever broken a sweat?...have a great Saturday.
