Question, if you are a NFL franchise and you just sign your mediocre quarterback to a two year extension above the three years he already has left. Would you bring in the most controversial quarterback of all time to back him up? The first pick that Sanchez throws there will be chants for Tebow.
Dare I say, the Toronto Blue Jays will be competing for the American League East. Not just the wildcard, the division.
So it's almost the time of year when I yell at the TV like a lunatic, and turn my liver into a punching bag. NHL playoffs are here.
Every year I donate $5.00 for every Flyer win to a charity. I suggest you do the same. Of course Leaf fans as par for the course pick another team to root for.
Mad Men is back, Game of Thrones soon, and Walking Dead just ended. There has been a lot of fantastic TV.
Hunger Games - 10/10
Green Lantern - 4.7/10
It's funny when a celebrity gets mad when their cell phone gets hacked. And all their scandalous pics are revealed. If you don't want your pictures to be found out don't take them with your phone. There is a hacked phone photos coming out each week. Heather Morris (Britney from Glee) was this weeks victim. I am pretty sure that there were quite a few happy guys and girls when it happened to Christina Hendricks though.
Had a tee-time today for golf. What happened 24 degree weather?
Ellison's Bistro tonight for some Caribbean food. If you haven't been there, there Jerk chicken is fantastic.
I hate that it's such a pain in a** to get to Toronto. You have to really make sure that what you are going to is worth while. Gas prices, traffic, food, more and more I just realize that it's not worth while.
New Battlestar Galactica spin off coming soon. Can't wait, saw the preview, looks great.
Hissing Cucaracha's is the best team name of all time.
Titanic 3D is coming out. College Daryl hates Titanic.
Going to a kegger this weekend. Haven't said that in at least 10 years.
Eating fish and chips always makes me feel like there is a football in the bottom of my stomach.
Chuck Taylor shoes go well with everything. Dr. Who has allowed me to wear them to weddings even.
It's weird seeing Alison Brie in Mad Men after seeing her character in Community. It's such a complete opposite role.

Why is nobody considering Erik Karlsson for MVP? I can't remember the last time that a d-man was this high in top scorers.
St. Patrick's Day lands on a Saturday this year. I feel sorry for anyone that works at a bar. It's going to be a mess that day.
Radiohead tickets were sold out in about a half hour. They sold out the around 50,000 seat downsview park where they had SARS fest. Going from seeing Caribou (who is opening for Radiohead) at the Starlight lounge with 15 other people 8 years ago to this is pretty amazing.
For how terrible the Raptors are they play hard every night and their coach is doing an amazing job with the players that they have.
I almost can't make fun of the Leafs now. They just look so lost out there every game. Where do they go from here?
Adventures of Tin Tin - 9.6/10
Top 3 movies that will make you dumber
3 - Jack and Jill
2 - Jackass
1 - Transformers
I find it funny talking to people that hated the movie "Drive." When I ask them why they hated it? The usual response is a pause then a confused look then the response. "It was too slow." Which means that they were expecting Fast and the Furious.
I feel greasy when I throw on Black Sabbath Mob Rules. Ronnie James Dio's voice drips with grease.
Reading the book "The Bullpen Gospels" if you want to read a book that doesn't Disney the life of a minor league ball player then check out this book.
Ipad 3 is out tomorrow. The difference from the Ipad 2 is that it's a little faster, and the camera is a little better. The unit is also thicker; because the battery is bigger.
Peyton Manning is a free agent. I would never thought this day would happen.
All caught up on the Walking Dead. Wow!! I didn't expect that...
Is anyone going to Ad Astra this year?
Going through the jungle requires a lot more bug spray next time. I am still getting over bites from who knows what.
BBQ busted over the winter. Need a new one, send me a message if you know of one for sale.
Golf or cottage, what have I missed more?

Got back from Panama and Costa Rica the other day. Trip was great, the highlight was sitting at a Rangers station in the dark and seeing a shadow of a creature tip-toeing right beside the picnic table we were sitting at. Turning on our head lamp hoping it wasn't some type of cat (jaguar or something similar) and realizing it was a tapir. Tapir is a mix between a big pig and a anteater.
My one and only injury occurred during trying to open a coconut. Threw it against some stairs and it came back quick and smashed me in the shin.
It took me 15 minutes to shave my beard.
The wedding in Arenal was gorgeous, I am very happy for Alana and Dave.
Best meal we had was a 6 course dinner in Bocos Del Toro. They started off with some gazpacho which was unreal, and topped it off with a wonderful steak. It was a nice anniversary meal that Sara's Mom took us out for.
We had a 3 day hike through the jungle of the Osa Peninsula. It wasn't as tough as the Colombia hike of last year, but there were some grueling parts of walking on the beach in 40 degree weather. We did about 16 hours of hiking over a 3 day period and I would say that I am in much better shape today then I was about a month ago.
On this hike we got to get up close and personal again with another Tapir, this time we were
close enough to pet it. They are very chilled animals, unless they have their children around. They were times when we were tired on the hike and we would just look up and see some monkey's on a tree some 3 feet above us just checking us out.
Walking sticks are the key to hiking in tough areas.
We also rented a cabin in the mountains of Panama for 3 nights. We got to cook our own food and do our own local hikes of the area. The highlight was sitting outside and having a kinkajou (it looks like a possum mixed with a teddy bear) start drinking from the sugar water that was meant for the hummingbirds. You could slice up some banana and the kinkajou would come right down and grab the banana with it's claws and go up to the roof eat it, throw the banana peel on the ground and come back for more. Sara's brother thought onion would be a great idea for the Kinkajou, but as everybody thought they don't like onion and it peed on Sara out of anger of the food.
Dried beans are the worst thing in history to cook.
Cacomistle (from the raccoon family) also liked the fruit and would come up on the bench we were sitting at and start enjoying the fruit we laid out. We named him Ringo. I am not sure if we named it because Ringo Starr just fed off the other Beatles like this Ringo did or not?
The trip was a great time, we enjoyed it quite a bit. We almost need a vacation from our vacation though.
