    Sporting At The Nationals, Day 1/2

    Thanks in part to a loaner laptop from work and the fine Ethernet in-room connection at the Calgary Radisson, this sure-to-be-engaging version of the Sporting National Diary is ready to go. Flew into Cowtown yesterday. We've really established ourselves as the belles of the ball after...

    Canucks Sign Steve McCarthy

    http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp?content=20050822_171912_5472 Only 24...captained the juniors in 2001...former 1st round draft pick. I like the move, as 1) he's young, 2) he got thrown to the wolves playing for a shite Blackhawks team as a defenseman learning on the job, 3)...

    Canucks Sign Richard Park

    Park has signed for $750,000 per season, according to the NHLPA website. I like the signing. Park is still relatively young (29) and as any Canuck fan can attest to - he's a solid checking forward. Also fast as hell.

    Murderball

    I saw this last night....may be the best flick I've seen so far this year. And I'm a huge Wedding Crashers fan, just to keep things in perspective. Murderball is the nickname given to quad wheelchair rugby. Basically, these guys soup up their chairs into psycho battering-rams, and play...

    Norm McDonald: Underrated Comedian

    I miss Norm McDonald's week-end updates. To fill the void, here are some of my favourite McDonald quotes: "Many people are skeptical about marriage of Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Pressley. They say, Lisa Marie is more of a sit at home type, while Michael Jackson is more of a homosexual...

    Boom Goes The Dynamite

    While it's been making the email rounds lately, I thought this to be an excellent addition to the TTP nation. A student television production at Ball State University. A broken teleprompter. A nervous sportscaster. Awkward, yet brilliant. "He passes to the man....and boom goes the...

    Sports Illustrated's 20 Greatest College Basketball Players of All-Time

    This weekend on Spike TV (channel 32 I believe), they're airing a tremendous program highlighting the Top 20 NCAA Basketball Players of All-Time. Having already seen it, I highly recommend watching it....a really solid list, with excellent analysis. Controversial too, as neither Michael...

    Mike Vanderjagt: Idiot Kicker.

    Why does Vanderpoof insist on flapping his gums? This is akin to having the batboy call out Derek Jeter before the start of the ALCS. Hell, even opposing dork kicker couldn't defend one of his own. Vinateri is probably voting Vandergob out of the union as we speak. Let's see Ralphie...

    World Cup of Hockey 2004

    Unless this thread has been started elsewhere, it's been eerily quiet regarding the only quality hockey we'll see this year. From the exhibitions I watched, the only consistent performances by Canada were put forth by Brodeur and Heatley. The blueline is in some trouble from what I can tell...

    Fantasy Football Anyone?

    Hello. We've got a few spots to fill in our fantasy football league. It's on yahoo.com, a free public league, no joining/user fees attached. Yahoo runs a good league, easy to use and navigate. One of the benefits of yahoo is that you actually select individual defensive players, as opposed...

    Touring Team Looking For Players...

    A local Fijian club is looking to fill up to 6 non-Fijian (import) roster spots for a tournament in San Jose, California this Labour Day week-end. The individual costs will run at approximately $150.00 cdn per player. This will be put towards airline and flight fees; all accomodations and...

    Coach K Headed to LA??

    For Sandman, KNVB and the rest of you Dookies out there...no Livingston, no Deng....and now, possibly no Coach K?

    Off-Season Shakeups Begin....

    This could be the first of several mega-trades which include Shaq and possibly Kobe.

    NHL Playoff Hot Stove...

    Some big injury news upon the announcement of some awesome-looking opening playoff series....... Tack on the Peter Bondra "lower body injury" from last night (courtesy of Tie Domi) and you've got three important players who are in trouble for the opening round. Colorado could be...

    Grunwald Fired...

    The longest-serving GM in Raptor history got shown the door today. I actually liked Grunwald - he was the architect behind the Raptors' three playoff appearances, something the Grizz management utterly failed to accomplish in the same amount of time. Unfortunately, he nailed his coffin shut...

    Dude, Where's My Car?....

    From Page B1 (West Coast News Section) of today's Vancouver Sun. RCMP must be getting desperate to be compiling and mass distributing a list of this nature. On the plus side, nobody swiped my Civic from the NAP parking lot last night. A 33-year old white female convict, with blonde hair...

    The Corporation & The Fog of War....

    I've gone and blown my student loan on a pair of movies that I couldn't get to on a tuesday night. Pennies. The Corporation is a good, earnest attempt at a Moore-like expose/documentary, highlighting how high-ranking government officials and heads of state are really playing second fiddle to...

    TTP Reflections 2003

    TTP had a lot of quality material come through these forums over the past year. What do you remember most? There were a variety of stories, characters, quotes and posts that should bring back some fond memories, some of which include: Bikegate, Buck Melanoma, Croatia's relegation, The War...

    Mayorga drops decision to Spinks...

    Other highlights from the card - from what I understand, Hopkins retained his title by picking apart Joppy in a pretty dull match. Went to a decision with Hopkins the winner on all three cards Ruiz beat Rahman in a fight which was booed by those in attendance - this fight was destined to be a...

    ...And it stuck for life.

    I've met a fair share of people with horrific first names. Ones that make you wonder how many bananna peels their parents smoked at Skynard shows during those halcyon days of the 70s. This one poor sot I went to highscool with had the misfortune of being tagged Szabolcs (Sa-bol-ch) upon...
