Formula 1: How Does a Diffuser Work?

Tomorrow, the whole Formula One season will be turned on its head.  Either six cars from Brawn GP, Williams, and Toyota will have their controversial diffusers found illegal which will cause them to be disqualified from the first two rounds of the world championship or they will be deemed legal forcing the other seven teams to play catch-up.

So before we get to Tuesday’s game changing meeting of the international court of appeal, I thought I would be a good idea to look at how a diffuser works on an F1 car and why the solutions the three teams under protest have developed are so far ahead of the competition. Continue reading →

Wrestlemania 25 Review

Since we’ve been mentioning the 25th edition of the WWE’s biggest show of the year, both here on the blog and on the radio show, it makes sense that I breakdown Sunday’s big dance.  Like any good wrestling reviewer, I’ll look at why a match may or may not have been good and then assign it a rating out of 10.

F1 Malaysia: TSN’s Coverage Improves…

… But that improvement didn’t come through anything that they did.  TSN lucked into the fact that yesterday’s Malaysian Grand Prix turned out as it did, otherwise it would have been as big a train wreck as last week’s. Continue reading →

Wrestlemania Moments

About a month ago, we teased you with some memorable Wrestlemania video montages.  Now, it’s time for the main event.  With Wrestlemania XXV coming up this weekend, what better time is there to look back on 25 years of amazing matches and moments that could only be provided on the grandest stage of them all. You’ll notice that there’s a slight bias to older Wrestlemanias because that’s what I grew up watching but these are all classic matches.

Vaughn Martin Getting Attention From NFL

About a month ago, I reported that UWO defensive lineman Vaughn Martin declared for the NFL draft.  In response to a comment, I wanted to go check out one of his pro days (where scouts come to see him work out).  Sadly I couldn’t make either of his in London.  Good news is that word has leaked out from the pro day and made it as far up the NFL food chain as ProFootballTalk.com.

He ran the 40-yard dash in 5.04 seconds, bench pressed 225 lbs. 32 times consecutively and did this to a scout: Continue reading →

F1 In Canada: TSN Sucks and Return to Montreal

So the 2009 F1 season kicked off with a bang.  Rubens Barrichello managed to cause a four car pile-up in the first turn after chunking the start.  Meanwhile, some guy named Jenson Button won the race followed by Barrichello (who got back to second after some other guys crashed) and Lewis Hamilton (thanks to a stewards’ decision that went his way for once).

Over here in Canada, things weren’t quite so rosy. Continue reading →

CIS Hockey Championship: Mustangs Lose A Heartbreaker

Six months ago, they were too young to be a threat. Five months ago, their record had them barely making the playoffs. Last month, they looked like fodder for the OUA West regular season champion. Yesterday, they were virtual locks for elimination. And today, when they fell behind to the UNB Varsity Reds, they were overmatched. In the end, the Mustangs’ storybook season came to a heartbreaking end. Continue reading →

CIS Hockey Championship Update 3

Well, it turns out that I keep getting all my predictions wrong.  The original ones, the revised ones, the one I’m going to make at the end of the post.  But now it’s time to take a look at the CIS University Cup Hockey Championship final between the UNB Varsity Reds and the Western Mustangs.
