Former Roughrider Locked Up For Riding Bareback
Former CFL Linebacker Trevis Smith was sentenced to 5 1/2 years having unprotected sex with two women while he knew he was HIV-Positive

Call me crazy, but shouldn't the women hold some of the responsibility for having safe sex? If they wanted the D that much that they didn't worry about the consequences, shouldn't they have to deal with the consequences? We salute you Mr. Smith, for having the guts and charisma to carry on with life after having been diagnosed with pretty much a death sentence. But remember this for next time Trevis, just tell the ladies you got the HIV. There are warning labels all over cigarette packs, but people still smoke them.

Andrew Peters is a Hack and a Pussy
After watching the events of the Sabres and Senators game Thursday night, everyone knew that the rematch Saturday would be a doozy. I’m not going to lie, the fight in Thursday’s game was fun to watch, but the events that preceded it were very unfortunate. Depending on who you ask, some people are going to say that Chris Neil’s hit on Chris Drury was dirty and late and illegal. In the days following the game, video showed that the hit occurred less than half a second after Drury had released a shot, so it really wasn’t an excessively late hit. There were two things that I saw that make me feel that the hit was not so much dirty as it was questionable. First of all, Neil came from behind Drury so he never saw him coming and had no way to prepare for the hit. Secondly, Neil definitely went for his head. He didn’t hit him with his elbow, but he made sure that his shoulder caught Drury in the head. The original hit coupled with drury hitting his head on the ice, knocked him silly and gave him a concussion. On the next shift,
Anyways, Saturday’s game did not disappoint. The first period started out a little slow, there was a few scoring chances, but only one goal, and not quite the physicality that I was expecting. All of that changed in the second period.
By the way, the Avalanche found a way to lose Saturday night against the Kings in a shootout after coming from a 2-0 deficit to take a 4-2 and then 5-3 lead. This season just keeps getting uglier and uglier. Sunday night, the Avs got down 2-0 again and had to fight their way back against the Ducks. They were able to tie it 2-2 and then 3-3, but with under 4 minutes left in the game, they allowed 2 more Ducks goals and lost 5-3. Now with 20 games left, the Avs are 10 points behind the 8th spot in the West and there is no indication that they will be able to make up that distance and will end up missing the playoffs for the first time since coming to

Chris Bosh on Jim Rome and the NBA All Star Game
Sunday night was the NBA All Star Game. I was at at a bar waiting for the Avalanche-Canucks game to start, so I was forced to watch the beginning of the all star game (it was on 2 of the 5 big screen TVs above the bar, and on one right next to the hockey game). The first few minutes was filled with the skill and effort that is usually reserved for pickup games at the university fitness center. I can only imagine the smell on that court, sweat mixed in with a little dom perignon and stale bong water.. Yummy. There were a lot of bad passes, missed alley-oop attempts and brutal jump shooting. Thank god, the Avs game finally came on, and the sound of the NBA game was turned off. I did sneak a few peeks during breaks in the hockey game. I saw Christina Aguilera looking fantastic as usual. Remember the days when you and all your buddies thought for sure that she would be gracing the pages of Playboy within 5 years, then she went through that stage where she was pretty much a ditch pig, now she is as classy and sexy as ever. I thought I saw Wayne Newton too, but I haven't been able to confirm that.
Final score of the game; West 245 - East 224.
I hate the NBA, and all that it stands for, especially David Stern.
For the record, the Avs lost 5-4 and slammed home another nail in their playoff coffin.
