Roy Halladay:

Rumours this past week at the winter meetings were flying in regards to Halladay being traded. It is no surprise since Roy has made it clear that he wants to play with a contender. This is the part I wonder about and fans (especially Toronto fans) hate to hear, that one of their athletes wants to leave for a better team. Yet hasn’t society in general taken this approach? Don’t people end their marriages to go on to what they feel is a “better marriage” instead of making their existing marriage better. Don’t people want to get a “better job” instead of making the company they work for better? So why ask Halladay to stay to make the Jays’ better when he wants to go to a “better team.

Saints and Colts Stay Undefeated:

In an era when we constantly hear that the NFL has parity, can someone explain how we have 2 teams (13-0 Colts and Saints) that are so far ahead of the rest of the league and 2 teams (1-12 Bucs and Rams) that are so “behind” the rest of the league?  Maybe the only parity we have is that all teams (except the Jaguars) are making a boatload of cash. To make matters worse, this past week we are hearing about how the NFL wants to cut 100 million dollars of revenue sharing.  And this is going to help the parity?

Toronto Maple Leafs:

This past week the Maple Leafs won 3 of their 4 games.  Their one loss was to the Bruins and they almost came back to tie that one up.   2 of their 3 wins were against 2 top teams in their conference – the Atlanta Thrashers and Washington Capitals. Let’s give credit to Ron Wilson who after the Leafs had that horrible start where they won 1 game in their first 13 starts did not panic and kept his cool and has now won 8 of his last 12 games. Look out NHL the Leafs are no longer a push over and could surprise many come April.
