  Tim Tebow….The X factor

  May 7, 2012 / Football, I THiNK, Inspirational

  You may or may not know this but I am a big football fan. Recently, I have been thinking about players who impress me and Tim Tebow comes to mind. Here is a quote from Tim,

  “Success comes in a lot of ways, but it doesn’t come with money and it doesn’t come with fame. It comes from having a meaning in your life, doing what you love and being passionate about what you do. That’s having a life of success. When you have the ability to do what you love, love what you do and have the ability to impact people. … That’s having a life of success. That’s what having a life of meaning is.”
  How can you not like a guy with an attitude like that?

  May 1, 2012 / Inspirational, Mind Food, Olympics, Opinionators

  Sometimes you need to be inspired. You need something or someone to say something or do something that causes you to rise up and get back on your feet and finish the task at hand. I have watched this video so many times and I usually end up in tears after watching it.

  HERE WE GO! Vancouver Canucks, Part One

  April 10, 2012 / Hockey, Media, Sports

  The Vancouver Canucks start the playoffs. In Vancouver this is bigger than Christmas and Easter rolled into one. For some it transcends sports and almost reaches a religious quality. (All hail the Canucks) The Vancouver team will play some lads from down South. (California boys) The deal is if I lived in California I would rather be on the beach than on the ice. These California boys have a great goalie and they play tight defence and plan on winning low scoring games. It has worked so far.

  HERE WE GO! Vancouver Canucks, Part Two

  April 10, 2012 / Act Local, Environment, Hockey, Media, News & World, Sports

  So the other question is, well there will be riots if the team wins or loses. I think there are enough social rejects in Vancouver to try again. This is the only way some people ever get attention. We do not realize how socially inept a large section of our population is. When you have a Vancouver Justice System (now there is an oxymoron) like the one we put up with it does not deter a lot of socially dysfunctional idiots who live in our land.

  Undefeated….but not under-rated

  March 19, 2012 / Entertainment, Film, Football, Inspirational, Sports

  This is an amazing movie about a school football team in the poor section of Memphis. It is also about the devotion of a coach to his players. It is a story of inspiration, but more than that it is a story of the reality of what young people are subject to when they come from the inner city schools.

  One of the lines in the documentary says, “football does not build character but it does reveal character.” The story is about young men who have the cards stacked against them simply because of what they were born into. The way out is not always easy but it is attainable. The coach of the team was is a father figure to many, a mentor and a lifeline to a better life.

  Tazer Ball…How much violence can we take?

  February 14, 2012 / Sports, Water Cooler Talk

  So its called ultimate tazer ball. My first question is, can this really be good for you? I thought I saw it all when I watched some of the video on women playing football in their undies but this takes the cake. Four people to a side, four tazers, a big ball and no brains. You try to score a goal and in the process hope you do not get Tazered.
  So lets face it we love violence. We love the hockey fights, pro wrestling, boxing, violent video games, violent movies , violent news stories , if it bleeds it reads is the saying, we simply love violence.

  Women in undies football league is it for you?

  February 13, 2012 / Football, Sports, Water Cooler Talk

  They call it football but lets call it what it really is another excuse to exploit women and sell sex for profit. The idea of women playing football in their underwear is the same as mud wrestling and roller derby . Why not sell it for what it is, a cheap way to exploit women in the disguise of a sport.
  The idea that they are putting this league right in the middle of the Bible Belt of Canada, Abbotsford B.C. is a joke. This stands no chance of being financially successful.
