CBC accuses Prince of Pot Marc Emery (pictured) of a trademark violation over holding "Hockey Night in Vansterdam" evenings at a lounge where people can smoke pot and watch a little shinny. Please, if it wasn't for the stoners tuning in to Hockey Night in Canada, who would ever laugh at Ron MacLean's puns?
(On another level, odd how a TV property whose lifeblood is commercials which promote alcohol, the No. 2 killer drug in the world, is paranoid about the barest association with pot. Never mind that marijuana, in the immortal words of Bill Hicks, "kills no one -- and let me put this in a historical timeframe -- ever.")- Mark Cuban wants to buy the Chicago Cubs. Sure, but only if he takes the Blackhawks too.
- Stephen Brunt's writing at globesports.com that the Leafs turned the screws on Jim Balsillie and Hamilton, not Gary Bettman, which is something we left the door open to a couple weeks ago.
- CFL: Eskimos 19, Blue Bombers 15. Seriously, let Milt Stegall score an easy touchdown next game like in that King Of The Hill episode so he can get his record.
- CFL: Lions 42, Roughriders 12. Western's former Hec Crighton winner Andy Fantuz might have his fall weekends free to visit old friends in southwestern Ontario if he keeps dropping the ball like that for the Riders.
B.C.'s brilliantly brittle QB Dave Dickenson still hasn't started and finished a game at Taylor Field in living memory, but it didn't matter for the Lions.
Week 3 finishes off with a doozy: Montreal (0-2) at Hamilton (0-2). The Burlington Teen Tour Band will cover the whole field before the Tiger-Cats offence will. - Steve Nash tells the Vancouver Sun, "Canada is not a country that really puts a lot of emphasis on sport. There's Third World countries out there that are killing us in every sport. And I'm not judging that. In some ways that's a wise decision, but I think it's really unrealistic to expect our national sports teams to excel when it's not a priority of our country." That's why he's the Greatest Canadian.
