The Canadian Press is All Confused

By Adrian the Adorable Sports Writer

Alonzo Mourning apologized to Raptor fans yesterday, saying he’s sorry if he got their hopes up following his inclusion in the deal that sent Vince Carter packing. Mourning, who came out of retirement following a 2003 kidney transplant, said he wanted to play for a championship-caliber team. His return to Miami, where he had his best years as a pro, may in-fact allow him to achieve his long awaited goal.
heat22.jpgDepsite the fact that the only thing the Raptors will be contending for in 2005 is a top draft-pick, it may be another reason, besides the team’s losing record could have soured Mourning on the idea of playing north of the border. With a national media reporting the intricate details of the NHL Labour talks, the Canadian Press has ironically shown why a star like Mourning would have little interest in playing for Toronto. In reporting Mourning’s apology, CP cited the Raptors December 17th trade with the New York Mets – the deal that brought ZO to TO.
Excuse me?? The New York Mets?? Was Alonzo expected to be playing first base for the Jays this spring? This is nothing short of disgraceful for a national press release. In addition to having confused the sports, they also got the city wrong. Unbelievable. Of course Torontoist’s favourite, TSN was proud to carry the piece.
By the way, Zo, Shaq-Daddy and the Heat are getting set to beat up on the Raptors tonight.

    fyi, zo had his best years along side larry “grandma-ma” johnson in charlotte. look no further than nba jam to verify this.
    you know, i had the lj converse sneakers – they helped me stop and cut quicker on the hardwood. i also had reebok pumps after the famous dee brown slam dunk competition. i also was the first boy in highschool to wear iversons. i was the envy of the school for at least a week.

    i had a few pairs of pumps, shawn kemp reebok’s and most importantly, black and silver ewings with the big #33 on the heel.

    don’t think i didn’t have ewings (i did, the mauve pair of course). i loved that man with all my heart. my favourite early 90s knickerbocker had to be john starks though. despite rampant inconsistency, the guy was a fiery competitor, much like myself.
    also, what’s with the cheerleader? it looks like her crotch is padded.

  • Adrian

    her crotch is hot… i went through numerous pics to find the best.
    i remember you loved starks… you had his jers didnt you?? what ever happened to it?? please say it didn’t get eaten up with my old grant hill pistons and your marcus camby umass.
