lol, the naismith cup. i wonder what they did with that. it's probably wrapped in cobwebs somewhere.

or maybe we still play memphis for it every year. or maybe we should. after all, it is the naismith cup. it's no joke, it's a real prize.

i love how we try to manufacture things- rivalries in this case. sometimes the modern day p/r around pro sports can swallow you whole. they seem to be trying too hard at times. i remember those games back in the day and the efforts to promote them as more than just exhibitions- awarding the cup after the game, interviewing a rep from the team winner, "what does this mean to you?"

"oh yeah, it means a lot. this is an amazing honour."

i wonder what it means to them today. i'm sure it's still 'an amazing honour'.

Talking about inter-Canadian trophies

Any baseball fans remember the Pearson Cup between the Jays and Expos. Used to be an exhibition game until interleaugue play.

They tried to make a deal out of it in 2000's.... then the morons at MLB decided to have the Jays play the Expos in Puerto Rico in 2004. Die Bud Selig.

Tell me about it.
I usually mute the TV and listen to the radio broadcast.
