Insane stuff I acquired because I saw it available on the Internet: Yes. A trading card of Trent Knight, a man who probably won the exact same number of matches on NWA TV as I have. It will stay by its lonesome until the Cougar Jay card from the same set shows up. How I wish I was kidding.

The RedBlacks cut Limas Sweed.

This might be the first time I've seen someone sell the referee raising his arm like it was the most painful thing ever.

Anybody who didn't mark out for Rayo's hat going flying off the opening punch is a filthy Commie rat who hates baby Jesus and America. It looked like something you'd see in a goofy comedy. Fiera was just awesome here with his selling (especially when he sells the headbutt he delivers) and the build to his comeback. The start of the third fall is a blast with the action outside the ring and BF and Fiera pounding each other. It's really a sign of how strong this DVD was when I have this match is currently ranked 3rd or 4th on it. It's alternating with the Sangre/Perro hair match.

At least if they move I can stop caring.

Reimer was trending on twitter. I didn't think his wife would be the reason.

I think I've officially had my "Give up on the 2013-14 Senators season moment.". Several on the last 10 minutes, actually.

i loved the rudo beatdowns, but it just seemed to grind to a halt as the third fall went on. It's the third fall, you really don't need to have them circling each other before a lock-up. By then, you really should be going at it, instead of just seeming like you're still at the feeling each other out stage. That said, the double gutbusters are spectacular, but this one really felt like a match that would be fine on its own, but just won't do well with such a strong set.

At some point, there was a webcam in the ceiling at the Air Canada Center. It was controllable, so, during the Heat portion of a taping, I was fiddling with it. I kinda like this one:

Nope. Charlie's had the big snip. It was a pretty easy decision after he shamed the family during puppy class.

Charlie isn't the only Airedale in the neighbourhood. There are two more that live a block over, and he got together with them for a play date on the weekend. Charlie's got the really curly tail, and he's playing with Clara, who is one month younger than him. Lily's 8, and since she's a mature lady Airedale, she can't get away from the two lunatics fast enough.

It could be worse. At least there's no comic sans on it.

Meet the new Red Blacks mascot! Sleep tightly, kiddies!

With the late July start in Hamilton, I'm having visions of Winnipeg abeing forced to stay at CanadInns stadium when their stadium wasn't done. The construction webcam doesn't quite fill me with confidence.

Here's your 2014 schedule: July 18th will mark the return of football to Ottawa during Week 4, and Hamilton's stadium will open with their first home game during Week 5. The Labour Day classic will also return to Hamilton on 9/1.

Yikes. Winnipeg really seems like they'd have a fighting chance at at least equaling the infamous Hamilton 1-17 season.

Remember, there will be a village somewhere in Burkina Faso where Manning is considered a champion.

Late in the game, the Grey Cup is brought into the stadium by Mounties. The arrival of the Lombardi trophy can never reach that level of awesomeness with "some guy".

The tackling on that last play just needed 'wacky blooper' music in the background.

Is it time to cue up Slick? http://youtu.be/-Pwf8diydNs?t=26m45s

Releases today: Kerry Joseph by Edmonton, planning to retire as a Roughrider Henry Burris by Hamilton, with the also recently released Zach Collaros moving into Hamilton Weston Dressler by Saskatchewan, likely to sign with Kansas City

Why yes, Charlie does love playing in the snow. Spending time in his cage drying off afterwards, not so much. Those curls are a magnet for sticky snow and ice.

And Paul McCallum and Noel Prefontaine are still on their respective CFL rosters. And unlike the former, I doubt you've ever done something that resulted in manure being dropped on your neighbour's lawn.
