WHERE'D THE YEAR GO... JULY

In our continuing quest to secure a lower rung on the inferno, Out of Left Field looks back at the wild 'n' nutty month of July.

Someone got awfully irritated as the Blue Jays faded from the playoff race.

Italy wins the FIFA World Cup.

That damned Roy Halladay is just too consistent to ever throw a no-hitter. Effin' guy.

Was it a bit reactionary to say the Martin Havlat trade foretold the end of the great regular seasons the Ottawa Senators have enjoyed? Eh, maybe a little.

Sports movies you can share with your girlfriend. You're welcome.

A convicted drug trafficker coaching youth swimming? Sure, why the hell not. (I loved the one anonymous commenter who, in an article that had the disclaimer, "There's flies on all us, people," accused me of a "lack of tolerance." No wonder he or she preferred to stay anonymous.)

Hey, garth snow me a coffee, would ya? (Hat tip to Neil Acharya.)

Hockey Night in Canada on CBC? Probably not for long.

What it's like to be a Minnesota Vikings fan.

Shea Hillenbrand, we hardly knew ye!

Being a NFL fan isn't just about supporting your team, it's about abusing the fans of their rivals. We started about disabusing Detroit Lions fans of their delusions of adequacy.

OK, so July was kind of a slow month. That's all for now. Send your thoughts to neatesager@yahoo.ca.
