Feels like coming out of retirement...just like Favre!

Another lengthy delay in posting....whoops! I thought about putting an end to the blog but I just couldn't do it.

So I'm going to do a rundown on everything that's happened since August 25th...NOT. Man, the NOT joke was pretty annoying but still kinda funny. I loved the comedy coach teaching Borat the NOT joke routine.

Here's a real mixed equipment bag of sports related stuff that's been getting stinky waiting to be aired out...

Milt Stegall Drive - since I only live about a Favre to Cotchery TD bomb away from Milt Stegall Drive (I really should have had a Glenn to Stegall TD bomb reference there but since I haven't seen one yet this year I just couldn't do it) I want to start with the Bombers.

1. It makes me sick that the team has a head coach (hired for his offensive experience) and an offensive coordinator but allows the QB to call the plays. A QB that was benched at the start of the season. This doesn't make sense to me.
2. The Argos are 4-6 and canned their head coach to bring in CFL legend Don Mathews to guide the team the rest of the way. The TiCats canned their head coach too. The Bombers continue to roll with Doug Berry...who doesn't even operate the offense.
3. How does Tom Canada tell the GM he won't report to Hamilton then seek his own medical advice and is now on the 9 game injury list?? Who's running the show here? I'm one in favor of unloading Canada. He is a fan favorite and by all accounts a really nice guy who likes Winnipeg but he is too slow. If he gets help from his defense and the play is at him then he makes a splashy play but far too often he can't recover or make plays on his own.

The Forks - I participated in the Manitoba Dragon Boat Festival in support of the Canadian Cancer Society last week-end. It was an intense physical effort that drained my body and took a day and a half to recover. This was my second year. It's a fun and safe event and I value participating in fundraising events at the Forks (especially on the river!).

One Portage Ave East - Goldeyes Baseball at CanWest Global Park. The Goldeyes lost to the Gary Railcats in playoff action over the week-end and that brought an end to the 2008 season. I took my family and joined my parents and friends at the game. It seems every year my family starts the summer off with a Goldeyes game and brings it to a close with playoff ball. This trip marked the first ball game for my son Drayson.

Sackville Street - I have spent most of my computer time on fantasy football. I've had my fill of week 1 preview, games, highlights, analysis, etc. so I'm not inclined to say too much but here are my four downs:

1. Brady out for the year. Defense was the key to success this year anyway..just means even more so now.
2. Favre/Rodgers - nothing interesting about this story but it goes on and on and on and on..
3. Raiders - a team shouldn't be this bad.
4. Bengals - a team shouldn't be this bad.

I better sign off this post and just ease my way back into it. Lots of exciting things coming up..
