Every now and then in life I come across stuff that really blows my mind. I mean really floors me, causes me to double take, even exclaim out loud. I’m not just talking about the busker you come across that can swallow a sword or the seemingly normal man...
While Canada is still recovering from the Olympics hangover that saw its Men’s and Women’s hockey team captured the Gold Medal in Vancouver, I was reflecting on the roster and thought, what would the team look like if the Olympics were played in 2011 instead? It is safe to...
Unlike last off-season, Blue Jays GM Alex Anthropoulos is looking for that missing piece of puzzle that will make Blue Jays a competitive team not only for the 2011 season but also for seasons to come. Anthropoulos entered the November GM’s Meeting in Florida with a different agenda than...
