About ASR »

After finishing my law degree I moved to Northern Canada to open my own consulting firm and work for the government. As an ex-varisty basketball player I enjoy watching and playing as many sports as I can and especially like to keep close tabs on hockey and baseball.

I am a die hard Leaf fan (isn't everybody?!? LOL) who is not of the dillusional variety (ok, ok, maybe a little.... I always hope for "good chemistry" which is industry lingo for "I hope some of our crap players go waaaaay beyond their potential").

I hate Berger (I mean come on... you cheer for the team you love and always keep faith and hope alive... you don't just give up on them). He must be an Ottawa fan. AAAHHHH Hahahahahahaha.

GO LEAFS!!!

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

    Mats Sundin, Eddie "The Eagle", Frank Mahovlich, #99 - which hurts as a Leaf's fan but hey... when was the last time someone scroed 90+ goals in a season..., Larry Bird, and MJ... thats Magic Johnson by the way!

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Leafs, Jays, 49ers, and Celtics (but not because I'm a band wagoner.... I'm old school baby)

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Joe Carter = World Series

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Roger Clemens second last 20 strikeout performance.. what a game... the crowd was so electric you could feel the buzz. Awesome. Simply Awesome. People wouldn't even get up for a piss after the 4th inning.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Most Consecutive 100+ Point Seasons (15) - Wayne Gretzky. Next closest is 6... if anyone touches this record I've heard that Walter G will personally hand deliver the keys to the universe and the Great One's wife will dish out a blow job (I swear its on Wayne's website...).

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth - booze, cigars, booze, food, booze, babes, booze, and... oh ya.... baseball.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana.... come on.... see favorite teams section

  • Jordan or Russell?

    MJ... #23 for life. He even made Scottie Pippen look good.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Sundin... lol... cause I can't say "both" (plus you can't compare these two)

  • Pele or Maradona?

    What is this thing they call "s-o-c-c-e-r"?

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Andre Agassi

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger... but only because of his wife...

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Me... I drive fast too...

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    see above

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    ACC

Hey. Yes, "ado" is correct. I thought you were punning on the whole French Canadian thing, so I left it in.

If you check the edit history, you'll see "ado" was originally changed to "adieu" in revision three, about 22 hours before I had a crack at it.

Cito was in the front office this year I think, but if he's coming back next year as manager I can't see him wearing both hats....I'm not even sure if that happens at all in baseball to be honest with you.

I don't have anyone better in mind, we just need someone. If he's around next year, I'm cheering for a losing season so JP gets ousted haha.

Thanks for reading Andrew :)

Hey Andrew, Thanks for joining Bleacher Report!

Now I'm sorry that you didn't take so well to the Sundin article—it's really quite unfortunate. To be completely honest, the entire thing was written in jest; I wasn't asking Sundin to rush his decision, or complaining about the situation, or reporting on nothing, I just decided to post a list of movies that one might want to watch instead of hanging on every word of the Mats Sundin Saga.

Now although you're sick of it, that's part of the fun in Bleacher Report—we're allowed to write what we feel, and be creative in our delivery of the news, or just our ideas. I have to say it's really fun and I invite you to try it and to not just comment and never visit again. Another great aspect of B.R. is that you get the conversation. It's not all "you suck" or "they suck" or "this sucks" but you can open up and discuss the ideals that an article brings forth, prompting some great debates about sports!

So in closing Andrew, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the article, and that your first Bleacher Report experience had to be a less-than-memorbable one. But why not change that and may try your hand at editing or writing? We can never have too many opinions!

And you can also check out my archives and (hopefully) you can see I'm not just an embittered Leafs fan with a bad sense of humor!

Hope to see you around Andrew!
