NCAA Opening Round Selection

I’ll give you what I think for each session:
 
Thursday,
12:25  Northridge Memphis under (Memphis games have gone over once in their last 10. Still can’t shoot freethrows and Northridge has a big guy named Townsend that is a good rebounder ie. no second chance points)

New PGA Tour Drug Testing

For the first time in PGA Tour history, the powers that be are concerned about what their players are putting into their bodies.

Rays getting away from what made them the Rays

Tampa Bay’s  signing of Pat Burrell to a 2-year 16 million contract, is against everything that the Rays stand for. Building from within, and via trade was what worked for them last year but you have to show that they are still trying to improve.

Post Mortem: The Ontario Elections

The Tories of Ontario should not be happy. The conservatives ran a horrible campaign, with the focus solely on faith based schools up until the last week, they did not have enough time to create different election issues that might have provided different results.

On The Minds of Voters in Beaches-East York

The upcoming Ontario election in the Beaches-East York riding is simple… The challengers must run an unbelievable campaign, and that might not be enough to beat incumbent Michael Prue of the NDP. “Displaying an almost equal number of homeowners to renters, the bulk of workers in the riding are in manufacturing, retail, health and social [...]
