Yes, I was talking about the CFL and the best team that plays in this league. Better than the Argo's and way better than the Ti Cats.

[Rhonald]

Well Martin you know what team will recieve my Stamp of approval

The second biggest Sporting event next to the Olympics is taking place in China and I have not heard a peep on here about it.  The 16th Asian Games organised by the same person who is responsible for Olympics everywhere in the world.  Two weeks time he is off to UK to work on olympics.

Mind you I cannot get into solo syncronised swimming  How do they tell if she is out of step with her self?

Athletics now well underway.  How do those gymnast get their legs so far apart?   

How come the crowds watching one event - China versus Korea were delirious with excitement. I never knew archery would be so thrilling!!!  But China lost and that quieten them down.

And the Yemeni woman 400 metre runner in full hood, long sleeves and trousers running in a heat and in the heat. came in about 30 seconds or more after 2nd to last person finished.  Still its the taking part not the winning!!!!!!!!!

And the iraqi runner with the strange body belt.  Why did all the others pull out of that heat?

Maybe I give an update later on the pairs blindfolded sword twirling competition.

Willy last night Peggy was watching Volley Ball and was trying to explain it to me.  It was quite a hoot as I never told her that I know how the game is played.  It was good just to let her try and speak English more.

Willy,

You can tell if she is out of step with herself by the ripples in the water. If the ripples cross themselves, she is out of step with herself...hehehe.

It is interesting that nobody here has made mention about the Asian games.

I haven't seen any coverage of them, so can't really comment on something that I can't see.

[mustfocus]

The Asian Games aren't often broadcast a lot outside of Asia (I guess they don't realise the market outside or want too much money from the networks to re-broadcast).  I have seen snippets on a few of the news channels (News1 and BBC Sports), but nothing more than a passing mention.

If you're in Asia, you can get information from Channel News Asia...they would be broadcasting it.

Ohhhh ... it's soooo hard to be a New York Gaints Fan  . 28 Points give-away ? Ahh .. I forgot , it's Christmas Time .. nice Gift to the Eagles !

[Bee964]

Speed weeks is on and Daytona coming up. I have not kept up with any NASCAR news lately and I was wondering if anybody else was?

Arnold,

Are you still a Jeff Gordon fan?

Dave C

[Arnold]

Yes Dave .. still am !

Oh how sad , to see the German Women get knocked out of the WC today . I will now (have to) cheer for Japan , as this Team has shown so much pride and willingness to accomplish the un-thinkable at the start of this Tournament . I think if any Team deserves it , it's them .

[Arnold]

yeahhhhhhh ...... Gaints RULE !!!! Tom ( whats his name? ) might be good , but against the Giants it's "Good Night" as always!!!!

[Willy The Londoner]

Hey Robbie

I hear Glasgow Celtic did well yesterday, a 2 - 0 thrashing of Inverness.

Bet that warms the cockle of the hearts of many on here then!  Mind you Arsenal beating Blackburn 7 - 0 thats a better scoreline.

Incredible run for the LA Kings! Fan since '73 with many up's and down's, including '93's failed attempt to bring the silver Cup to LA.
I think, tonight is the "Night".. we here in Hockey Town West will lift/hold/fill/raise and finally will get to Celebrate the finest of all Cup's.
These last two months were something for my LaoPo to learn, that we here take our favourite very serious. As she was saying at the start of the Play-off.... HOCKEY AGAIN?.... as I placed myself in front of the TV and let me tell you.. I was not holding back on the yelling and screaming for my Kings either.

[Rhonald]

and let me tell you.. I was not holding back on the yelling and screaming for my Kings either.

So appropriate, since it coincides with the Royal Diamond Jubilee that Willy mentioned over a shedded tear.



Long Live The King
