Vasco da Gama says: “Methinks Charles Barkley is writing Roger Goodell’s speeches…”
Here's one from the desk of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and his position on gambling. I kid not. Earlier this month he stressed the importance of "keeping a strong line between the NFL and sports betting. I don't think it is in the best interest of the NFL to have any association with sports betting."
Huh? Wha? Huh?
Who will be the first commentator to say, "Colts win the Super Bowl! More importantly, they covered!"
Giovanni Caboto says: “Jose Mourinho proclaims he is bigger than The Beatles...”
The cult of the divinity would have suited the Chelsea manager just fine. It’s one thing to be regarded as a fine coach by peers and quite another when you thump your own chest. For the record, after a public spat with Arsenal’s French manager Arsene Wenger, Mourinho stated that he was one of the greatest coaches ever and definitely the greatest coach to come out of Portugal. Get this guy a purple robe and a red carpet. Now!
Jacques Cartier says: “I was on YouTube and found this brawl. Reminds me of the good old days when we used to rumble in the forests with les Indiens.”
I was never prouder to be Canadian that day in 1987. Once upon a time we Canadians knew how to stand up and act barbaric.
We couldn't beat the godless commies militarily, but on the ice all we needed were basic resources like wood and frozen water. The gold medal was ours, but after being disqualified for freaking the girlie Europeans out, this was the next best thing. It’s a shame we did not beat up everyone. Refs, people in the stands, officials for interpreting hockey the wrong way; you name it.
When I went outside after the game I punched the first person I saw. Yeah, I know. Little old ladies don’t count but this one had it coming for keeping my orange hockey ball a few years earlier.
Canada is the best.
Sir Francis Drake says: “I’d rather be called a pirate any day than be Trevis Smith.”
Former Saskatchewan Roughriders linebacker Trevis Smith was sentenced to a total of six years for knowingly spreading the HIV virus to two women in Canada. Throughout the trial Smith refused to admit his guilt. It’s okay, Smith. Ever read Dante’s Inferno? Something tells me Charon will be talking you across the River Styx to your condo in hell.
