I agree Bob L about the American media but the interesting thing about it is that what American players and media think will not matter as much in the future. We are seeing International basketball grow rapidly. Toronto with it size anddiverse population is well placed to take advantage of...

You are dead on. MLSE has tons of resources and financially the team is doing ok. Playoff revenue would help but there is no danger in the team leaving.

Don't be so sure that Colangelo's rep will be damaged. This is on the assumption that Bosh will perform well. He will be under a great deal of scrutiny in Miami as there will be high expectations. The issue with Bosh is that he is a complementary player - ok he has Wade. But Bosh is also...

One area that may be overlooked is special teams. The Leafs were the worst in the NHL at PPGA and very near the bottom for PPG. With the addition of Versteeg, Armstrong and Sjorstrom - the Toronto PK should be one of the best. Also Versteeg, Phaneuf and Kessel all year should help the power...

I think the Leafs are significantly better than the beginning of last year: Goal - Giguerre and a healthy Monster who now has some experience. Way better than Joey Macdonald, Toskola and an injured Monster. Defence - An older Schenn, a healthy Komisarek, Phaneuf, Beauchemin had a way better...

I just don't know how interested Burke is in Kovie. He clearly has a ton of talent and can score - but I don't think he fits the image of a team guy like Burkie would want. Certainly the Leafs have the dough and it would not shock me but I just don't see him putting that kind of money into a...

Anything in sports represents a certain amount of risk. Versteeg was a third line on Chicago and produced 20 goals. On Toronto his ice time will increase significantly over the 15:43 he averaged in Chicago and he will also have more PP time. This should lead to higher production as it is...

I just wonder......Caribana has far more people at the event - over a million along the parade route. I have been on Yonge St. the night before the pararde and there are way more people then the protestors and many far more dangerous than the silly anarchists. You have people from all over...

Sassafraz is Yorkville - real mint

Not completely accurate. Most individual life insurance policies are front end loaded with respect to commissions - however there still is a trailer that will build as the inforce premium increases. Agents are not just restricted to individual poliices though - they can sell retirement...

ah ah ah ah ah is also a Dirk Diggler way of saying it - sorry!

I think that Landscaper raises a good point. Russia and China are not natural allies - true they have reached an understanding - but both are rivals for influence in the region. Certainly the Chinese are settling and taking over towns in Siberia right now and that cannot make the Russians too...

I think that the whole incident is a face-saving exercise for the Chinese. The "rebuke" was staged and both sides knew it was coming. The real rebuke was Harper not attending the Olympics and meeting with the Dalai Lama. That is about the extent of what a small country like Canada can do...

You might consider buying gold. Odds are continued economic and political instability. Could see a very good return in 2 years.

If you are going to make an investment ask yourself three questions: 1. What is the purpose of the investment - e.g. retirement savings, education fund, home improvement etc. 2. What is the time frame for the investment - i.e. how long are you going to invest for - 1 year, 10 years, until...

The thing I find fascinating about these assassinations and what is so scary about them is the link between them all. Kennedy, King, Kennedy, Lennon and Reagan - all crazy lone gunman and no real trial. I really had not thought to link Lennon and Reagan to the Kennedy/King assassination until...

JohnFK - have you done the same level of investigation into Bobby Kennedy's assassination? I think that you may find that it is even more dubious than JFK's. Do you think the two are related?

I think it is also interesting not to look at the John F Kennedy assassination as an isolated incident but as a link in a chain: Bay of Pigs, Assassination of Presidents of Iran, Congo and South Vietnam, Assassination of John F. Kennedy, attempted Assassination of Fidel Castro, Assassination of...

Interesting to note that Richard Nixon was at Love Field when Kennedy arrived. He was about to board a flight out. Not sure there is any significance but certainly an interesting coincidence. Incredible how Kennedy and Nixon's lives intertwined.
