American Sports from a Canadian Perspective. Friday, February 27, 2009. Some Friday Football Free Agent.Nuggets? Let's go with Nuggets. Sorry, couldn't think of another word that started with F. START PRINTING THOSE VIKINGS CHAMPIONSHIP T-SHIRTS! Another one from the "this would make WAY too much sense to happen" file: free agent Bengals WR TJ Houshmandzadeh (championship! Sliding under the radar a bit in all the free agency talk was the troubling news today out of California. Thursday, February 19, 2009.

American Sports from a Canadian Perspective. Wednesday, July 15, 2009. NFC Norris is a Three Team Race. Is it football season yet? Can we pretend it is? Or just generally be terrible at your job and still have job security? I give you the following:. VP of basketball operations for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Corporate higher-ups for AIG and Goldman Sachs (both made record profits last month, by the way. Your tax dollars hard at work! GM of the Clippers. Owner of a professional sports team. Probably not ...

American Sports from a Canadian Perspective. Friday, March 20, 2009. So Far, March Madness Not Very Mad. As well as LSU over Butler (another 8 vs 9), and UCLA escaping with their lives 65-64 over 11 seed VCU. If you had UCLA going any further than Saturday, I'd be worried. They looked awful, and their worst best player, Darren Collison, looked awful for the fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament, yet they let him hog the ball and take all the shots. Brilliant. Other thoughts as the day rolls along. I have Me...

American Sports from a Canadian Perspective. Friday, August 29, 2008. Happy Labor Day Weekend everybody (or as they'd say in Canada "Labour" Day). Whatever you're off to do and enjoy, when you get back to start your work week next Tuesday, we'll officially be into September. Can you believe it's September already? Could the Red Sox join them? Alrighty then, three teams for two spots with one month to play. Here's how they stack up:. Pitching: ERA 4.15 (7) BAA .275 (12) K/BB 2.45 (3). Sep 23-25 VS CHICAGO...

American Sports from a Canadian Perspective. Thursday, July 10, 2008. The NBA: Where “It’s All About the Money” Happens. NBA Free agency begins today, or as I like to call it Crazy People Spending Crazy Money! ANYWAY, where was I? Yes let this be a reminder that NBA players and every athlete except Tom Brady and Marshall Faulk will ALWAYS take more money rather than win. Always. Unless they're end of the bench or role guys like Cassell or PJ Brown. Otherwise? They're taking the money. You guessed it- res...

Metric Musings: Kahn-man?
http://mwsr.blogspot.com/2009/06/kahn-man.html
American Sports from a Canadian Perspective. Friday, June 26, 2009. This must be what the guys in "The Hangover" felt like. Waking up bewildered, seeing everything in shambles, missing a buddy, and wondering just what the hell happened last night? Timberwolves fans can empathize. Just like for a bachelor party in Vegas, last night began with the anticipation and excitement that anything was possible. Would the Wolves deal up to get the clear second-best player in the draft in Ricky Rubio? WE'VE FINALLY G...

Metric Musings: The Monday Musings
http://mwsr.blogspot.com/2009/07/monday-musings.html
American Sports from a Canadian Perspective. Monday, July 13, 2009. We've reached baseball's all-star weekend which means two things: less than 3 weeks until NFL training camps open! And about a month until the kiddies start showing up for college football! Good times are just around the bend. Until then a few musings on the world o' sports. Exactly. Of course, this would cost the Twins a couple of prospects AND would mean they'd have to take on more money, so the chances of it happening are probably...

Metric Musings: Gee Wiz!
http://mwsr.blogspot.com/2009/06/gee-wiz.html
American Sports from a Canadian Perspective. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Well then. David Kahn has gotten to work and pulled off his first trade. What does it mean? We won't know that until Thursday night is finished, but we do know Kahn was serious about shaking up the roster. In dealing starting guards Mike Miller (1 yr left at about $9 million) and Randy Foye (1 yr left on his rookie deal) to the Wizards for Etan Thomas (bye! Darius Songalia (see ya! Guys I don't want to see in a Wolves uniform? I menti...

American Sports from a Canadian Perspective. Tuesday, October 28, 2008. A Random Rambling NBA Preview. That is a pain I cannot imagine, and so I'm writing an NBA preview in his honor, in hopes that perhaps my meandering musings on his beloved NBA will brighten his day a little. And the Winner Is Not. The Lakers are the NBA's version of the Dallas Cowboys (or are the Cowboys the NFL's Lakers? Kobe Bryant has played roughly 187,482 minutes of basketball since the preseason last year. A full year, a ful...
