1. Anyone interested in the new Captain America movie coming out in 2012? Here are some comments from the Director Joe Johnston [The Wolfman]:
“It's not going to be a Captain America that you expect...he's a super hero without any super powers...he can't fly, he can't see through walls...an every man who's been given this amazing gift...the pinnacle of human perfection...some great action sequences...and some incredible stuff that we've never seen before...at the heart of it, it's a story about this kid who all he wants to do is fit in...and he still doesn't fit in”
2. Port-Au-Prince: As a result of the earthquake, some 4,000 criminals are still on the loose. Hard to understand what that must be like here in prosperous North America right? Allow me to help you with that: The Pelican Bay Supermax prison in California holds exactly 4,000 inmates. The 277 million dollar prison is an international model of sensory deprivation and isolation where half of the occupants are locked in their cells 23 hours a day. Now imagine if an earthquake hit and freed all of these men. The most hardened, violent men roaming your community would wake you up now wouldn’t it? If you haven’t done so already, give to Haiti and help their people and government recover.

4. Ok, so the Saints won...big deal. They outplayed the favoured Colts and brought new status to a city desperate for re-birth. Yada, yada, yada. I dunno...I’m a bit underwhelmed by the whole thing. I wasn’t leaping out of chair with joy (like when I thought the Cards were going to beat the Steelers last year). Yeah the Saints deserved it. But I re-watched the game only once and then promptly erased it from my PVR. Not interested...is it just me?
5. Just a few not so bold predictions:
Reggie Bush will be a Redskin next year.
Donte Stallworth will be a Redskin next year. (Ok, I was wrong about this one. But the Ravens would’ve been my next choice!)
Steve Breaston wants to be a starter. Could you see him in Cleveland or Baltimore?
Troy Smith to Miami?
Julius Peppers to Washington, Oakland, or New England.
Roy Williams, Sam Hurd, Alonzo Coleman and Pat Watkins to Denver. Brandon Marshall to Dallas (Jerry will do anything to give his Boys a SB home game next year).
Anquan Boldin to Da Bears.
Fast Willie Parker to Houston.
Is Joey Galloway finally done?
Antonio Bryant to Tennessee.
LenDale White or Chester Taylor to Washington.
Despite Mike Holmgren’s presence, the Browns will not win more than 4 games next season. Why? Mangini isn’t that great of a coach. And no one wants to play there.
The Jaguars will cut WR Torry Holt (ok, I cheated on that one)
The Bengals will sign WR Matt Jones (ok, I cheated on that one too...geesh)
We keep hearing about McNabb to the Vikings...I dunno...not sure I can really see that. If McNabb goes there he’ll just ruin that team with his inconsistency. Hmmm....hope he goes there then. Dallas has a road game there next year.
6. Congratulations to the D&G Football Playoff pool winners:
1st- Guido 316
2nd- Obsessions
3rd- Ivano!
7. Football is over...time to turn my full attention to the NBA. Check out these poster shots:

8. I went to the Autoshow and checked out what’s to come. For me the two showstoppers were the new Audi R8 convertible, and the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG . The Audi boasts an impressive 525hp with 390pds of torque. The Mercedes comes back with a V8 that produces 571hp and 479pds of torque. Both cars hit 0-100 km/h in < 4 seconds with a top speed of around 317 km/h. Nice.
9. I don’t know for certain, but I’m fairly confident that Shani Davis is the only brother competing in Vancouver. Naturally he won a gold medal in his event. That’s what brothers do. The Jamaican Bobsled team unfortunately failed to qualify. If they had, for sure they would’ve won gold as well. You know it...don’t pretend that you don’t.
10. Tiger Woods held his much-anticipated press conference today. Cameron Morfit had this to say in closing out his live blog of the event:
“The only thing we know is that Woods has been hiding under all that hubris some humility, which is somehow reassuring. I still don't understand the timing of the announcement, and the only thing I learned is that he might write off the entire 2010 season. That would be a shame for the fans, but for Woods, the golf has to come second. Good for him for somehow keeping it together emotionally, more or less, and good for him for being genuinely apologetic”.
Alright, now leave the boy alone please. There are at least 50 other dudes on the tour that have cheated on their wives...and probably 10 of them with Rachel Uchitel as well.
11. Huge Debate over who the best QB to ever play the game was/is. I look at it as best ever to play the position and not just win/loss stats as it’s a team game. Others focused on how they performed when it really counted i.e. playoff and Super Bowl appearances. Not everyone agreed with me, but here is my ranking:
o Joe Montana
o Peyton Manning
o Tom Brady
o Dan Marino
o Brett Favre
o John Elway
What’s yours?

Firstly, buy me that car. I need it for my new baby's safety.
Of course, Shani Davis won the gold. But the question is...where are his endorsements? People still eat Wheaties and wear Nikes don't they?
Rhino what's your prediction for the future path of Michael Vicks, or, does anyone care?
