Interesting discussion between the blogger and Mangan, for sure. I sit on a committee that funds grassroots sport orgs/innitiatives and I have to apply for many grants throughout the year myself, so I can totally see where both sides are coming from. I have learned, though, that the funding org usually will fund up to something like 50% of the total project cost, which is probably why Metric and the Trews get the money they get - they have more to contribute. Its likely not as much a conspiracy as the one guy seems to suggest.

Who's the guy with the really annoying voice? Is it Chuck Swirsky's dad?

Sweet pic.

I think the Jays PR could have maybe taken a more humble approach to the festivities last night. Of course the other team will win when you spend five minutes prior to the game telling everyone how awesome you are.

You know its bad when your teammates and coaches just start crying.

Holy shit was it ever! Poor guy. That's just not fair.

I gotta admit, and maybe this is a sign of myself aging poorly, but as a hockey fan, I gotta respect what this team is doing. How they manage to play with the confidence they do is beyond me. Its like Simmons' Ewing Theory in full force or something. I'll have to erase this before any of you schmucks read it.

So what's the deal with security there, haven't been to the Amp in ages...if you have 400's is it easy to get to the lawn? More importantly, is it not impossible to sneak in some booze?

I don't know what my seats are like, a friend picked them up, but I'm happy as shit either way. Hope to run in to more than a few of you in July!

Cheveldae?

We won the league last night! If I could figure out how to post pics from my phone I would, but I'm also hurting pretty bad at work this morning. Celebrations went a tad late.

It was a faking riot playing with Dennis all year though. He yelled at everyone all the time, but in a fun way, if that makes sense. It's sort of how I picture Booche leading a team. Good times. I suggest you all find your own retired enforcer to help motivate you through shit, it works!

My buddy and I settled on the fact that the only fair way there was to determine a winner was to both be the Blackhawks.

Seriously! It says Scots Bay in the story, but really it's New Minas Nova Scotia.

Thanks. Nothing puts more of a damper on a perfectly good vacation than having to mend relationships and such.

Just a head's up.

This is the best news ever. I apologize well in advance for everything...

Please oh please for the love of all that's holy make that Toronto date be true. I will be home then and it would be the absolute greatest to be able to take in a Phish show.

True, but no one takes blanketers seriously. Second class citizens is all, hell, third class even. A notch above Sens fans :surprise: .

Nah, you want them to respect you, you bring a muthafuckin bed!

I think you guys are going about it all wrong. You got to up the ante on the lawn chair folk.

Get this:

Inflatable beds.

They won't know what to do. They're sitting there in their law chairs and you could be like, "hey, do you mind, I'm trying to watch the show. How about you bring a bed like I did and we can all enjoy the evening?"

Ha.

Weird trade, no? Think Cole wanted out?

It's working out for them so far. Bandwagon has plenty of room, hop on!

Heard the song Pumpkin for the first time today and it pretty much made my day. Nicely done there Velvet. Nicely Done.

You sonsabitches didn't even comment on the video I posted. I'm hurt because I thot it was freaking brilliant. Sonsabitches.
