  • Dreadful, downhill dairy determination

    By September 5, 2009

    Sports come in all shapes and sizes. Cheese wheel rolling is definitely one of the sports that has strayed away from cool-kid sports like football or hockey and has remained a nonsensical outcast on the fringes of athleticism’s social circle.
    Experiencing the nomadic lifestyle of a mouse in search of a dairy dinner has never been easier.

  • Baseball-aholics anonymous

    By September 5, 2009

    Nearly four years had elapsed since I have competitively played baseball, which has been my favourite sport since childhood.
    Each summer since, likely due to my mobile lifestyle, I have been prevented from doing so. After departing Saskatoon for yet another summer and moving to B.C.’s west coast, I was asked by a friend’s older brother to come to a slo-pitch practice of a team he was playing on ”” not technically baseball but close enough.

    By August 27, 2009

    Back in elementary school, the dismissal bell was music to many kids’ ears. Everyone rushed home to get in a few hours of fun before dinner. Street hockey was often the sport of choice. Easy to set up and take down, kids would play for hours in the heat, rain or snow, long after dark, and usually under the glow of the streetlights. Do you miss those days, where your troubles slipped away and all that mattered in life was finding a way to put a ball into the back of the net? Now there is the opportunity to relive your youth again

  • The fight rages on between disciplines

    By July 21, 2009

    From the gladiators of ancient Rome to Ali versus Frazier, history demonstrates that combat sports are among the oldest and most enduring forms of athletic endeavour.
    Today, title bouts in mixed martial arts and boxing attract millions of fans and dollars. Along with soccer, they constitute perhaps the only truly global sports.
    But fight fans, often like the fighters themselves, seem bent on self-destruction, fostered through a never-ending debate between fans of both sports who insist that their discipline is superior in skill and entertainment.
