Podcast XVI: Keith Vassell
An interview with newly appointed Brandon University men’s basketball coach Keith Vassell; an apology for last week’s podcast; thoughts on the Masters, the NHL playoffs, and the opening week of the MLB season; plus, an episode of Blindside featuring another question for the ages: Who’d make a better CIS coach, Swatter or Larkins?


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

Swatter: you are delusional. I would take Larkins team in the robot game minus 20 points.

[Scrum Screw-ups and Omissions for Podcast XVI]
Just to get this straight, Larkins had never won a sports-related event until I showed up. So David, you NEED me.
Here are the omissions for the week:
Chris Simon didn’t actually murder anyone and the Islanders are not in the NHL playoffs, shockingly. Kimbi Daniels of the Swift Current Broncos was suspended for life from the WHL for punching a referee, that’s about the most severe punishment on record (and Marty McSorley of course).
Swatter would be the players coach, not Larkins. But that still wouldn’t make his team persevere (although post game hugs would be a lot more heartfelt on Swatter’s team). The score: 86-78 Team RoboDavids.
Swatter, there is no ‘a’ in Merlot…
[drum roll]
Blindside Winner: David J. Larkins
I hate to admit Larkins would win at anything, but I really can’t see Swatter out coaching anyone in a basketball game (except maybe Sam Mitchell)…
And any mention of Paris Hilton, BFFs, or anything along those lines, officially DQs the perpetrator from Blindside. (This is a SPORTS show, not TMZ!)
2008 Blindside score: 8-4 David J. Larkins
That’s it, that’s all, you’ll know better for next time kids.

I just thought I’d put another post up here. It shows who the real ‘fans’ are, the 443 crew is 100% of this week’s comments. Is there a worse hockey team out there than the Ottawa Senators right now? Jesus, they wouldn’t win the WWHL!
