I work with some great people and one of those people had the pleasure(?) of visiting Seattle this past weekend for the New Orleans/Seahawks playoff game. Only one problem... she's a huge Saints fan. In many Canadian cities this wouldn't be too much of a problem. Sure there would be some fun loving taunts- but all taken in stride. In Seattle many of the fans were very good and had a blast taking playful pokes at the visitors from New Orleans (although visiting from Edmonton). But there's always a few idiots and Seattle has it's share apparently. Tell me if this isn't over the line? "Hey Saints fan, go back to your Katrina"! Ouch. Sometimes don't you wish the idiots did everyone a favour and just shut their pieholes? Have some playful banter, show your support for your team but also show some class.
Topic TWO:
Just watching the Stars and Oilers on Tuesday night in Dallas. Kind of sad to see how this once proud rivary has sharply declined. First off, where the hell is everyone? Bet you the building was maybe half full. Sad. Secondly, maybe if the Oilers could find a way to win once in a blue moon in the Big D it might help crank up the competitive juices. Can't blame the fans for not going to watch- it could get a tad boring to watch your team kick the other guy's ass every time. Maybe it's going to take some time to get that old 'magic' back? I certainly hope so... it used to be so much fun.
Topic THREE:
As I expected from the very start of all the drama back in December, the Edmonton Indy is back! Octane Motorsport Events will hold the Indy car event on the July 22-24 weekend at the City Centre Airport after inking a three-year deal with the Indy Racing League. I never believed that this thing was in jeopardy- ever. All politics from the City and the Octane folks as far as I was concerned. So anyway... Welcome back... it's now up to the fans to show up.
Topic BONUS:
They've decided in Hamilton to 'renovate' Ivor Wynne Stadium in the Steel City. They're kidding right?
I'm outta here!
