Bold Predictions (II)

NEWS

Well this is pretty big news in these here parts.  Today's edition of T.O.T. (Sports Desk) actually has a sponsor!  Go Figure...71 editions of the BLOG and I finally thought to ask for a sponsor?  I approached the good people at Cora Restaurants about allowing me to use their logo for this episode and they responded with a resounding YES!  Additionally, they pledged gift certificates to our readership.  Not all of our readership mind you, so we need a plan.
Planning is not my forte, but here's what I came up with:

I have been calling this show "Sports Desk", "T.O.T. Today", "Sports Centre", "The Nice Guy and The Mean Guy"; lots of different names.  At the bottom of this BLOG is the comment section that most of you are familiar with.  Put your suggested name for the show in the comment along with your name.    David Polny from Cora Restaurants will select the winner. 

You do not need to be a league member to put in a suggested name.  The only thing that I can guarantee is that if you don't put in a suggestion, you will definitely not win.  The contest closes on April 20th so that I can change the name for the next edition on the 21st.  Remember that the show name will be used for the weekly reviews going forward throughout the year which will result in instant fame (and probably fortune) for you and yours in addition to a great meal at Cora! 

The Poll

In the first round of voting, the people have selected our expansion team, The Beer Bros. as the favourite!

The Forecast


For this week I have invited Derek Zoolander to give his opinion on our team drafts. If you need to ask who that is, then you need to give back your man card. 

Dog Catchers

BLOG:  Derek, what do you think about Gary Cox and Ricky Bobby being on the same team?
Derek Zoolander:  I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is 

Dusty Cleats

BLOG:  Do you think the Cleats will get off to a quick start this year?
Derek Zoolander:  You gotta tame the beast before you let it out of its cage

Grisslies

BLOG:  Have you heard the rumours that Rob Farah is offering honorary Grissle status to Murray Saunders?
Derek Zoolander:  Wait a minute. I might just have an idea. They'll be looking for us at Maury's right? But they won't be looking for... not us.


Hot Tub Woody's

BLOG:  Did you see the model of the learning center that Jeff Dancey proposed as part of the Help The Kids Tournament?
Derek Zoolander:  What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?

Hurtin' Units

BLOG:  The Units lost Jens, Dickson and Jim MacDonald.  That's a lot of hits to give up, do you think they can recover?
Derek Zoolander:  Jens, Robin, and Jim were like brothers to me. And when I say brother, I don't mean, like, an actual brother, but I mean it like the way black people use it. Which is more meaningful I think.

Derek freakin' Zoolander.

EDITORS NOTE:   It has come to my attention that watching the movie in The BLOG is too small for many people.  I cried myself to sleep when I heard that.  So unless your computer is a MAC (hahahaha, I just called a MAC a computer....I kill me!!!).  Again, If you have a REAL computer, you can right click on the picture of the movie above (you see --- MAC's don't right click, ugh never mind) and a menu will magically appear. One of the options in the window says "Play In YouTube".  (left) Click on that and a new YouTube window (or tab) will pop up.  This gives a fair bit bigger view.

EDITORS NOTE:  It has come to my attention that right clicking on the movie and selecting the "Play In YouTube" option still isn't big enough for some people.  I went to church and asked for forgiveness for being so thoughtless.  If its still too small, there is a banner across the bottom of the movie (in YouTube) that controls volume and placement in the video.  On the far right of the banner is a symbol with arrows pointing to the 4 corners of your screen.  THIS IS NOT A KRYPTONIAN SYMBOL!  Click on that 4 arrow symbol and the movie window will expand to take up your entire monitor.

EDITORS NOTE:  It has come to my attention that right clicking on the movie in The Blog and selecting the "Play In YouTube" option and then expanding to consume your full screen still isn't big enough for a few people.  I went to Tibet and met with the Dalai Lama for counseling.  He suggested right clicking on the image in the full screen YouTube mode and selecting the "Play on Skydome Jumbotron" mode.  Personally, I think you should just by a bigger monitor.  I guess that's why he gets to be the Dalai Lama.  Well...that and the "enlightenment" thing.
