Re: mneme
I'm as bad, johnmacnab - I post, but have tended to read more than I have been commenting, lately.

Call it Senior Lassitude, mneme, or my being a lazy old fart - I'm not sure which.

Hi mneme. I followed your suggestion and logged on to smh.com. It appears that degrading behaviour isn't restricted to hockey players.

Joe! What a thing to suggest! Imagine Canada allowing Quebec to succeed at secession? Mind you, it would save a lot of money in printing costs as everything has to be printed in French and English - except in Quebec of course.

Hi johnmacnab
I tend to agree with you, sport just isn't as gentlemanly as it used to be. If you get a minute have a look at the antics of Australian 'footy' players.. www.smh.com.au. I can't bring myself to write about that, they've had enough publicity.

I'm in complete agreement, BrightIrish. I don't like disrespect to any country's flag or anthem.

Hi .. John I'm not sure how to comment on this post except to say I do not like when disrespect is shown toward any team or their country. 
Can you tell I'm not a big sports fan .. Baseball is the only one.

I can tell you the score before the game even starts, Joe said.
You can? she asked, her eyes wide. Sure. Nothin' to nothin.'
Whack!

Teams were better when they were supported by tycoons and not networks.
Oh, and we now have cage fighting on tv.
Shame. Shame. But so inevitable. Next: gladiatorial combat from prisons somewhere via Internet or satellite.

Shocking and distressing.....but then, considering the downward slide "sports" has been on for a long time, I shouldn't be surprised to see such bottom dwellers..
