HIT THE POST WITH CJAD'S RICK MOFFAT, VOICE OF THE ALS & THE CANADIENS
Article online since August 16th 2008
I hate seeing whiners in the media and cover-their-butt sport bureaucrats getting on Canadian athletes while the Games are still on. Some are already calling for cuts to government funding. I’d love to see a federal bureaucrat propose MORE FUNDING and LESS GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS. Don’t...

Article online since August 15th 2008
Talk about the No Fun League! The NFL snufs out voyeurism and international spying? Why am I not surprised. When the NFL "made history" on the eve of the Als Argos battle for first place in the CFL East, giant Bills banners covered over what we used to call the Skydome Hotel. No scoring...

HIT THE POST WITH CJAD'S RICK MOFFAT, VOICE OF THE ALS & THE CANADIENS
Article online since August 9th 2008
Should the Als be embarrassed about 4-0 vs. the Blunder Bombers and the Pussy-Cats while being 0-3 against the ROCFL? (rest of the CFL) Not a chance. The Als defense is gelling. Special teams have turned the corner with Larry Taylor on returns and some headbangers like Shea Emry and Paul...

Olympics are not just about sports
Games are a big deal about big money
Article online since August 8th 2008
The totalitarian Chinese government, to no one's surprise, will be using the Beijing Olympics for propaganda purposes, as the Nazis did with the Berlin Olympics in 1936 just a few years before Germany tried to take over the world. No one thinks the communist Chinese want to start World War...

Would your wife put up with you going back to work little more than 12 hours after the birth of your son? I know Mrs. M's answer! But then again, she wasn't raised in a football family like Ashley Smith and Mrs. M isn't married to a pro football player (though I did survive a year goofing...

Article online since July 30th 2008
Unless you've seen Mats Sundin at the Ikea near the 40, or I see him myself in the crowd trying to be inconspicuous at Jarry Tennis Stadium, don't you have a hard time believing #13 is coming here? If he's choosing the Canadiens 'cuz he thinks they've got a shot at the Cup, why didn't he...

Don’t let a vacation get you out of shape
Article online since July 25th 2008
So, you’re going on vacation and your hotel doesn’t have a gym. Or, maybe it does have a gym, but the stuff is not what you’re used to. Maybe being inside was not your idea of a vacation after the winter we went through. You’re idea of a vacation was hanging out at the beach, swimming...

The Expos are gone, but baseball remains
Article online since July 25th 2008
All right, Expos fans. Get over it. It’s been four years. They aren’t coming back. Instead of pining at home like you just got dumped, its time to get back in the game. Wake up! The Expos are gone. Many of us have moved on, found a new love, rediscovered old passions and realized that...

Team-bonding in Regina? The Als are sequestered in the town where they once busted out so bad after another loss to the Roughriders, even Don Matthews invoked a curfew -- the only time he ever did during his coaching tenure. I can still see Barron Miles shaking his head at the barenaked...

The facts on fat kids
How are kids getting so out-of-shape?
Article online since July 11th 2008
That is the BIG question (pardon the pun). Fact is our kids are out of shape. With all of the organized soccer, swimming lessons, day camps, etc. kids are still more fat than ever. My dad sent me a great e-mail reminding me of why kids today are out of shape…well they are actually in shape...

So how many wins does it take to prove you're a genius? Two wins and Marc Trestman had Als fans on the cusp of declaring him the next Marv Levy. But after a frustrating loss to Calgary, it appears Chris Jones, the former D-coordinator who thought he would land the head-coaching job here,...

Als falter in second half
Defence can't stop Burris, Reynolds as Calgary erases halftime deficit to drop Als 23-19
Article online since July 11th 2008
Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo can't play both sides of the field, and as he watched the Calgary Stampeders run out the clock to cement a 23-19 win over the Als in front of the usual sellout crowd of 20,202 spectators at Molson Stadium last night. Calvillo threw for 342...

"CANADIENS SIGN MOMMA'S BOY!?" Ok, so after landing legit thug Georges Laraque this headline may not scream, but Josh Gorges at less than a Mill for each of the next 3 years is more in Bob We Trust. The Habs' most-improved defenseman this past season tells my good friend Ric Peterson...

Article online since July 7th 2008
On the eve of the Als' home opener I threw my usual curveball question at Anthony Calvillo--"Is Cahoon more likely to see his record-setting touchdown catch on his first play, or is he more likely to dust off his breakdancing celebration for the occasion?" Several years before, Cahoon...

Isn't it strange that the Habs' big free agent signing is bigger than the Als' new middle linebacker? Whether you lust most for a Stanley Cup and a Grey Cup in the same season, you have to be impressed with Georges "The Bash" Laraque and the way lightweight Dwayne Taylor has become the Monster...
