No Lacrosse This Year, Tories Likely To Promise Tax Cuts, And Gossip Is Powerful, Say Gossiping Scientists
Bad news if you're a lacrosse fan: the 2008 National Lacrosse League season has been cancelled. Pick your joke: 1) "I'm sure all three of you are very disappointed"; 2) "Players are refusing to play until they get reimbursed for their bus tickets"; 3) "My God, this is the national sport we're talking about here! Why isn't Stephen Harper doing something, for the love of God?"; 4) "So, why are the Toronto Rock still offering season tickets for sale on their website?"
Tories expected to promise tax cuts in tonight's throne speech. The link is worth clicking just to see a picture of Gilles Duceppe looking like he's trying to be a beat poet.
Government cancels plans for $2 million "media centre." Apparently it's cheaper and more direct to deliver propaganda via the Internet these days!
Gossip more trusted than truth, according to study. Well, that's what they say, so it makes sense. (That would have worked better if Rip Taylor had said it. He could have followed it up with "This is it! I don't dance, people!" Then he would throw confetti.)
And finally, the Buffalo Sabres beat the Leafs last night.

ROFL!!! The remark about how clicking the link "is worth it just to see a picture of Gilles Duceppe looking like he's trying to be a beat poet" HAD ME LAUGHING AT MY DESK LIKE A MADMAN! Brilliant! LOL! :o)
"SEPARATION.
Referendum after referendum
there is no state of failure
there is just endless tomorrow
vive le Quebec libre
FIN."

LOL!
It's a real shame that lacrosse season won't be coming this year. The Rock offer a great product at a reasonable price and the fans who turn out to the games (I've been to the ACC when 80%+ of the seats are filled) really love their lacrosse. Unlike the suits that fill the platinum seats at Leafs games, these are real fans that cheer for their team like you'll never see for another Toronto club.
I'm not well versed in the labour dispute at hand but if the players are asking for a few more dollars, it can't be unreasonable. There isn't a player in the NLL that can rely on their lacrosse salary to pay all the bills.

I take it you haven't been to an FC game, then?
I'm surprised that you didn't mention that the Leafs lost because McCabe scored for the Sabres in OT.
Lacrosse is amazing. The Rock are the ONLY Toronto team bringing home championship banners, and this year I don't even have that hope to hold on to.
And so that I didn't only talk about sports and still sound like a female, Gilles Duceppe is hot.
The end.
