Go Canadamerica!

The 2011 Stanley Cup will wrap up this week in North America as America's Boston Bruins and Canada's Vancouver Canucks muscle for rank to show not just which state but which country is this year's best competitor in the (uh, Inter?)National Hockey League. 

Oh wait. 

Actually, as it turns out, America's friendly neighbor to the north is apparently going to be the winner, no matter how the last few games are sliced. Both teams are comprised of a majority of Canadians.

In fact, Vancouver's team actually has more Americans than Boston's team.

The NFLPA Can Barely Feed Its Starving Children

Don’t we all feel bad for professional athletes? Really, isn’t this one occupation that has given us so much and asked for so little? And when they ask for more money for their labours, shouldn’t we indulge them? Don’t they deserve another property in The Bahamas, another mistress, another dog fighting compound?

This is the state of the NFL right now: the Player’s Association has called a lockout, in the face of threats of a pay cut. I mean, the idea of a pay cut to a pro athlete’s salary is despicable. Do you know how much the property tax is on a mansion? And let’s not forget that lots of these players have drug habits to tend to. Shit, they should get a pay increase.
