After all the arguing, insults, and general lunacy of last week, we’re set for another edition of Monday Night Raw. After the NBA announced the schedule for the Western Conference Finals, the WWE were thrown out of Denver’s Pepsi Center. Without a home for a couple of days, it was the home of the L.A. Lakers that stepped up to save the WWE. So tonight Raw comes to us live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles and we have all the action here as it happens. Continue reading

Hockey (Last) Night In Canada: The Injury Bug Bites Back
Giving up a three goal lead and losing your #1 goalie would be enough to put most teams down for the count. The Blackhawks fought past that to win game three and cut Detroit’s lead in the series in half. Now they have the momentum for game four but had to win without Nikolai Khabibulin. But Detroit was without Nick Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk for game four as well. With both teams without some of their stars, it would be a test of depth to determine the winner. Continue reading
Sunday At The Races
For thirty-five years, the final Sunday in May has been host to three of the most prestigious motor races in the world. The day starts with the crown jewel of the Formula One World Championship, the 67th running of the Grand Prix of Monaco. At midday in North America, the crown jewel of American racing is run, the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. The day ends with the longest annual oval race in the world and one of NASCAR Sprint Cup’s “Grand Slam” events, the Coca-Cola 600.

Hockey (Last) Night In Canada: Calming The Storm
Despite losing two straight in Pittsburgh, the Cardiac Canes had to feel good heading home to the loudest arena in the NHL. Home teams have won two-thirds of conference semi-final and conference final games. A win would keep Carolina’s hopes of a second Cup Finals in four years alive. But the Penguins were looking to be that road team that wins one out of three. A win last night would leave Pittsburgh one win away from a return trip to the finals. Continue reading

Hockey (Last) Night In Canada: Chi Town Rumble
If they wanted to get back into the series, last night was the time they had to do it. Already down 2-0 to the defending champions, the Chicago Blackhawks had a massive hole to claim out of to beat Detroit. But they had one advantage in game three: home ice. Would it be enough to cut the Red Wings’ lead in half? Continue reading
CW Announces Primetime Schedule for 2009/2010 Season
Update: Rick Porter writes a nice article on “Body Politic” – the best pilot you won’t see this fall season. (Zap2it).
Turns out, the rumoured schedule is true! While I do want to see the CW pick itself back up and bring back the glory days of the WB, I know that it will not happen, especially under the reigns of the current exec team. With a combination of rehashing old material, extending shows beyond their natural end, picking up bad pilots and poor scheduling, the CW continues to shoot itself in the foot. Oh Dawn… you’re really running the network to the ground. As the famous Les Grossman once said “A nutless monkey can do your job!”
Hockey (Last) Night In Canada: Melting Down The Igloo
All the talk coming into game two of the Eastern Conference finals was about the Hurricanes. In each of the past two rounds, the Cardiac Canes lost game one before taking game two en route to a seven game series win. Did Carolina have enough to even the series before heading home or did Pittsburgh make a Stanley Cup Finals rematch all but inevitable? Continue reading
Which Team Should Adopt Michael Vick?
I’m sure you’ve heard by now that former NFL star and admitted dog abuser Michael Vick has been released from prison and is now under house arrest. Upon his release talk immediately turned to what Vick would do next. Would NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell reinstate Vick and allow him to play this season? Would any team have anything to do with a player with as much “baggage” as Vick? Well, I’d like to have a little fun with this whole story and speculate where the man otherwise known as Ron Mexico might end up complete with low-grade photoshop work. Continue reading
Rumoured CW Fall Schedule
While the official announcement will come tomorrow, the rumoured schedule is presented after jump. Looks like my prediction is sorta off eh? If this is any indication of what the network is airing next well, let’s just say the CW is definitely going down the crapper. Continue reading
