WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND: WELL, THAT EXPLAINS THE HOCKEY SWEATERS

Daniel Negreanu apparently has better luck around the poker table than he does as a junior hockey mogul.

The star poker player bought into a Junior B team down in the States, the Fort Worth Texans, in the off-season. The new ownership group moved it to Tucson, Ariz., and not surprisingly given one of the owners' claim to fame, renamed it the Tucson Tilt (Full Tilt Poker is a sponsor).

The team's not drawing well, so it's on the move again -- to Topeka, Kansas for next season. (Information courtesy the strangely addictive Junior Hockey Blog).

The Laval Rouge et Or officially became a dynasty, spurring a call to reform CIS football.

Gregg Zaun was no longer a Blue Jay. Then he was again.

Chris Pronger learned the consequences of effing off to Mexico when there's controversy back home.

Could Dave Wannstedt be bowling in Toronto this holiday season? Could the GTA withstand the stench of failure coming off him? (Hat tip to a faithful reader, since that was his line.)

NFL Picks. Hey, I'm already 1-0.

Mark McGwire's Cooperstown credentials: Whatever you think, don't try to BS people by saying he doesn't have the numbers.

NFL coming to Toronto? More like, "If it was left up to the general public in the GTA, the megacity would get a second NHL team before it got a NFL team."
