Here are some examples of things that are really bugging me these days.
The Argos held a media conference on Tuesday to announce the signing of their two prized free-agent signings. The Argos stepped up and signed two outstanding offensive linemen in Rob Murphy and Dominic Picard.
But instead of handing them gleaming new Argos jerseys general manager and vice president of football operations Adam Rita handed Picard a cheesy Argos T-shirt while Rob Murphy was handed a hoodie.
Picard has a 50-inch chest so there was no way he was getting that tiny little shirt to fit over his "guns."
The Argos knew these guys were coming to town, so why in the world wouldn't they at least present them with a generic Argos jersey?
Weak.
So Alex Rodriguez says he's really, really sorry for juicing up while he was a member of the Texas Rangers.
But this was my favourite part of A-Rod's Oscar-worthy performance on Tuesday. While with Texas, he said his cousin injected him about twice a month during six-month cycles to get an energy boost.
"I didn't think they were steroids," he said. "That's again part of being young and stupid. It was over the counter. It was pretty simple. All these years I never thought I did anything wrong."
Oh sure.
I know lots of guys who let their buddies stick a needle in their butt cheeks for an energy boost. It happens all the time. Why would anyone ever think that there were being injected with Primobolan?
Then there's the Leafs’ Justin Pogge.
I have interviewed him and have found him to be a nice enough young man. Other than the fact he has trouble stopping pucks, he should be a great goalie of the future for the Leafs.
Being able to stop the puck is a very overrated skill for an NHL goalie.
Pogge will fit in well with the Leafs Nation. If anyone ever questions Pogge's ability, Ron Wilson will rip the media and say it's their fault for his enormous GAA.
And finally, there's Sportsnet's main man in Ottawa, Ian Mendes.
Ian's latest blog Dream of a Lifetime is pure gold.
First off, let me say that I think Ian is freaking awesome. His blogs are epic. However, I took umbrage with his contention about Facebook and his mention that being a friend with Ian means that you would have access to "other minor celebrities like me."
He goes on to say: "I am very well connected in the world of C-list celebrities. You'll just be one click away from befriending a whole range of Canadian media personalities."
Ian, I say yes to all friend requests because I need all the bloody friends I can get. Call me D-list all you want, just as long as you're not a Habs fan, I will be anyone's friend.
There, I feel better already.
Feel free to vent your spleen and let us know what is really bugging you these days.
