Dear Vancouver... (An Open Letter from Calgary)
Dear Vancouver, You've done it again, haven't you? Don't think we here in Calgary can't hear your whines -- we've got pretty good senses of hearing out here on the grasslands. Those little calls for more Canadian national team matches, and then taking pot shots at Toronto doing it at the same...
CWNT vs. Mexico: America's Hat vs. Well...You Know.
This is it ladies and gentlemen, one more win and the Canadian women are off to London this summer to play for Olympic gold. But to do that, they've got to run through the 21st ranked Mexicans, who are not the cake walk that were Canada's group stage opponents. It's the old song, right down to a T...

2012 London Olympic Mascots Disqualify R&A from Future Design Changes
The organizers for the 2012 summer Olympic games in London unveiled the mascots for the games this afternoon. Hideous. It was like Cyclops meets clouds meets Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (which, astoundingly, are now retro cool). These designs alone should prohibit the R&A from modifying any...
