Jim Basille now that you have some time forget about hockey – please buy the Blue Jays. (If you have any money left). Corporate ownership is killing sports in Toronto. Profits come first at Rogers and winning – well it’s hard to rank something that doesn’t exist.

Management are trying to convince sceptical fans that you can win, then spend in the AL East. Good luck. Now thanks to the Tigers, Rangers, and Angels, they can forget about any wild card delusions – even with an expanded play-off format.

If the Jays get off to a slow start next season – it will be pretty lonely for the fans. The only ones who will be at the Robbers Centre will be the die-hards and the only cheering will be for the stars in the other dug out.

Guy I feel sorry for is Jose Bautista. He like the fans got duped into thinking this team actually wanted to win. Well now we know why winners don’t come or stay long in Toronto.

Do some reading of your own and you will see the writing was on the wall. Winning pennants has never been mentioned in Rogers’ annual reports.

Those protesting against internet piracy and copyright laws must remember that protecting individuals who create new materials spurs innovation and creativity. The internet and countless other inventions and innovations occur most often in countries that reward and protect those who come first.

It is by no accident that countries like the U.S. who aggressively enforce their strict anti-piracy and patent laws, are world leaders in innovation. While countries like China lead the world in copy cat production because of weak patent enforcement.

Obviously the current versions of SOPA and PIPA have to be tweaked, but it is wrong to claim that they have no place in protecting creators in cyber space.

Coming up with a fair and balanced approach of how to do this on the internet may take time. But it should not include the abandoning of any piracy regulation. That would be an outdated response that pushes us back not forward.

C’mon Ford, couldn’t you spend a little more money on your F-150 commercials and make a true Canadian version. First off, we don’t use gallons and does anyone really think our pals in Ottawa care that much about fuel economy.

Seriously, they have changed nothing but a voice over from the original ad.

Ford you can do better.

NHL enforcers are suckers at the bottom of a fish tank – they’re ugly, but they keep it clean. If you want to ban fighting then do so, otherwise get rid of the instigator rule and let the big guys
police the idiots.

I know in hockey I have crossed the line , but luckily a bigger, player with hockey smarts has given me my wake up call and told me in not so many words – to clean it up or else. Unfortunately, the checks and balances are not present in the game today.

The rash of concussions I don’t believe are the direct result of the absence enforcers, but it hasn’t helped either. if the league wants to continue to follow its current path – then 4 on 4 will be the next evolution to create more space in what has become a very dangerous high speed game.
