Texas, Can You Hear Me?

A desperate plea to end the random phone calls spurring from Texas.

One would think it’s simply a scam. Just some depressing telemarketer who’s been hired to call Canada on a daily basis to sell a bunch of crap nobody wants. You know what I’m talking about – iPhones, Blackberries, none are immune to the prevalent calls recurring from Texas each month. But since our lives are far too busy and important to put up with these rodeo-clowns, it’s time to take some action.

How I ran a half-marathon without any training whatsoever.

Last June, I signed-up on a whim for the Scotiabank Half-Marathon on Oct. 16th. At the time, I figured I would spend many months training and getting my body into proper shape before the big day – seeing as I hadn’t run a day in my life. That’s a lie, I once ran to the pub at the end of my street to grab a table for the Leafs game.

When it comes to pro-sports updates, we trust nobody better than The Score‘s Will Farquharson (unrelated to our Editor in Chief, Emma Farquharson).  We’ve gabbed about TFC, the Blue Jays, and now, we’re tackling the Leafs head-on right before the season opener on Oct. 6th. Problem is, one Farq is an optimist and the other – a little pucked up.

Riots and Reason

Why we should all breathe, take an Ativan and cool the puck down.

I can’t say that I’m surprised about the rioting – anyone who’s seen a Manchester United loss in the playoffs would be well aware of this hellish scene often displayed by angry fans. And this was the Stanley Cup. Canada’s pride and joy, up for the taking by a city so proud to be Canadian they overbore the anthem singer.
