As stated, this Twitter thing isn’t going to last forever for the wayward athlete-covering media. That’s probably also good thing for someone like football flameout and current Twitter citizen R. Jay Soward.

Soward, who has five kids, is now three years removed from his final season in the CFL. Amazingly, he’s still only 31, but when […]

Everybody knows by now that things get done a little differently in Canada. The culture barrier is subtle, but distinctive; a Norm MacDonald, after all, could never have come from the USA. That’s why when that fan climbed onto the goalpost during a game earlier this week, people were worried, sure, but not really surprised.

(Hey, […]

I guess there’s a big difference between Americans and Canadians. When our sports fans decide to drunkenly take the field, the most trouble they get into is stealing a football from the hands of Brett Favre and getting decked by security. But leave it to Canadians and their inferiority complex to […]

Weep not for Willie Tuitama. He was a highly touted prospect when he committed to the Arizona Wildcats back in 2004, and he had a super-productive career with the ‘Cats, racking up well over 9,000 yards through the air and 67 TDs.

(Here, he’s “serving” a handoff! Stupid joke? Bad schtick? Okay, we’ll stop.)
But Tuitama wasn’t […]

As the NFL regular season lurches closer & closer to fruition, the CFL would like to remind you that hey, our season is already underway! Why should the clubs south of the border get all the attention?

However, the CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers were probably hoping to grab headlines for other less-savory reasons. First, there was […]

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Pacman Jones‘ Canadian Football League career ended before it began when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (all hail Buzz and Boomer!) not only decided to pass on signing him, but banned him from their facilities.

Jones was basically in with Winnipeg on Tuesday, and was reportedly only waiting for his […]

In terms of the Pacman Jones career arc, we always knew it would come to this, right? From Tennessee, to super-suspended, to Dallas, a sprinkling of pro wrestling inbetween… the next step? Yes, of course, Winnipeg.

(Odds that this is actually an elaborate plan to smuggle illicit goods across the Canadian border inside footballs? Better than […]

The knock on former Hawaii quarterback Timmy Chang coming out of college was that he lacked the arm strength to be an NFL quarterback, which explains why he’s out of football after bouncing through the NFL and CFL after leaving the Warriors as the NCAA’s all-time passing leader.

But perhaps a team should give him a […]

Michael Jackson’s death affected the sports world in many ways, from his music video with Michael Jordan to his epic Super Bowl performance, to say nothing of the effect his life had on individual athletes. So it’s no surprise to see a CFL player pay tribute to him during a touchdown celebration. Sounds like a […]

It’s been a great day in sports here at SbB. First we get the pro poker player who (allegedly) beat his parents to death for his inheritance. Next comes Rick Adelman’s DUI-impaired family tree. Then a former CFL player has his name dragged through the mud by a racist cheerleader - thanks to a false […]
