Two guys who love sports, almost more than women...

Can I start a petition to get Steve Armitage on the show? I mean, let’s face it - you guys could stand to use an injection of class into your programming…..
Keep up the good work, gentlemen.

[Scrum Screw-ups Podcast #6]
David — there are more than 20 schools that play football in the CIS. In fact, there are 27 football teams in the CIS including 7 Canada West teams. And knowing how we all like a good loser (Lethbridge in town…) University of Toronto has lost at least 68 regular season games dating back to an October 2nd, 1999 (Toronto 27 Windsor 19).
Swatter — A trip to Calgary doesn’t take 7 hours. Going at 120 km/h, it would take 9 hours and 48 minutes to drive the 1061 km Brandon to Calgary.
Larkins — Tom Chambers did dunk on Mark Jackson however it wasn’t two footed – minor detail.
Larkins — The “And 1 Dunk Guy” is actually named Tuarian Tontenette aka “The Air Up There”.
Larkins — Kobe is actually in his 12th season in the NBA. As we all know, he was drafted straight out of high school and was an NBA rookie in 1996-97 (7.6 ppg 1.9 rpg 1.3 apg).
Blindside Winner: Larkins
Although Larkin’s NY accent should have him reprimanded, requesting Ritter kiss his girlfriend — maybe if it was Gene Simmons it would be acceptable — and recycling Blind Side questions in only our 5th show — BRUTAL — sways the judges in the favor of the boisterous David J.
2008 Blindside score: 2-1 Larkins leads.
That’s it, that’s all, you’ll know better for next time kids.

Just to clear up the schedule comment you made re: SFU and UBC.
They were to play a double header Friday and Saturday Jan 4 and 5th. Because both teams were coming back from trips down south they mutually agreed to play those games on the Tuesdays-Jan 8th and 15th. So it was the teams decision to change those games.
K?
