Rob and Doug Ford are acting like asses as they are thumping their chest about getting the Jacksonville Jaguars because they have no fans that go to game.
To do list for the Ford Brothers
- find funding for a new stadium that at least 63,000 seats and most likely 70,000 - 80,000 seats and the funding that they will need at least half a billion dollars and most likely more to build this new stadium because the Roger Center (formerly called the Skydome) does not have the minimum seats possible which is 63,000.
- Find where to put said stadium because that is constantly going everywhere in the past and if they are smart they should put it @ Downview park.
- Figure out how to allow people to drink beer outside and walk down the street with open beers as someway somehow they need to allow tailgating because if there is no tailgating there is no fans as tailgating is part of the NFL.
- quietly they need to go to New York City and talk to Roger Goodell because talking about this in the media is not a great idea because if Jim Balsillie spoke up about bringing the NHL to Hamilton and used the media to strong arm Gary Bettman and got black balled by the NHL and Goodell is like a million times stronger than Bettman so it would not be a good idea.
- Find a billionaire to buy a team and move it to T O as it will cost about 1.2 - 1.5 billion dollars as that is the going rate for even the weakest franchises as people in Toronto are front runners and they only go to the popular events.
- Also it is going to be hard to convince the NFL that they should move a team across the boarder as it will not help the TV contract as the NFL already has a Canadian contract out it is nowhere close to the amount the US contract is and would not get any closer to it with a Canadian team.
Good Luck Ford brothers this talk has been around as long as I have been (1977) which is almost 35 years

NBA Final - Dallas Maverick Vs Miami Heat
Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks are a solid team and have learned to play defense finally and Dirk Nowitzki was being over powering the defense and putting up huge points as he has 40 point game in the Western Conference Final against the Thunder. He also has gotten stronger throughout the playoffs with a dominating performance on the defense boards in the Western Semi-final against the Lakers as he had 13 defensive boards in game one to set the tune for the four game sweep and then set the tune in the Thunder series with a 48 point performance in game one to set the tune for the series and then put the separation between the Mavs and Thunder with a 40 point game in game four to give the Mavs a 3-1 series lead.
The Mavs defensively did not give up 100 points until they were in the Western Conference Final against the Thunder and have dominated everyone as they took control of home court as they were 7-1 @ home while also not messing around on the road as they are 5-2 on the road.
Jason Kidd has been extra motivated this post season with 7.7 assists and 10 points a game and the Mavs are happy that MJ decided to NOT send Tyson Chandler to Toronto as he leads the Mavs on the boards with 9.3 a game.
Miami Heat
The Miami have been taken out all their opponents in 5 games with only given up 100 points in a game since this post season which was the opener against the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Final and then finished them off in 4 straight games after the first game loss and LeBron James when defending MVP Derrick Rose he held him to 6% shooting. He had over 20 points in 4 of 5 games in each round and dominated Sixers on the boards as he had a 15 boards game, 14 boards game and 10 boards game while having a 35 points and 14 boards game in game 4 against to help the Heat take a 3-1 lead against the Celtics and then put out with a 33 points to elimination the Bulls as he scored 9 of the 16 straight points the Heat scored to end the game. He has a average 26 points, 8.9 boards, and 5.5 assists while Dwayne Wade has averaged 23.7 points, 7.2 boards, and 4.1 assists and Chris Bosh 18.6 points, 8.9 boards, and 1.1 assists but the big three is scoring mosr of the points for the Heat.
Dirk has been unstoppable and I do not know if Lebron James can control him because Dirk is a bit bigger than Lebron James and the Mavs choked and also the Refs screwed them as well and Mark Cuban has kept his mouth shut during the entire playoffs up to the NBA championship because he just like the Mavs players he understands that this is probably most of their last kicks at the can. So that is why I am hoping that they will win the championship as the Heat are only a 3 headed monster with nothing else behind them so they will build a bit better bench in the next couple seasons which means that they will have a few more chances at the can. In the end the only way the Heat ein is if Lebron is able to take control of the games and put up huge numbers to out play Dirk.
Lets hope for a good NBA Final

Over the Limit - Sin Cara is a superstar, Cena does not know how to quit, and Punk a step closer to leaving
They opened the night with R-Truth going over Rey Mastro as he got out of the way of the 6-1-9 and finished off Rey with a new finisher and after the match R-Truth added insult to injury by pouring a bottle of water over Rey. To have R-Truth to use Ray to get over his heel character is a good move because R-Truth has been a better heel than when he was a face and really Rey U never know when Rey will retire as it looks like his in-ring career is whining down.
Ezekiel Jackson defeated Wade Barrett in an intercontinental tittle match with the help Gabriel and Slater's interference Barrett but they kept Jackson strong by having him only be beating down by 3 guys so the WWE is still trying to push Jackson as a babyface and it is going to hard because as we saw on Friday he is horrible on the mic and is not a great worker but most importantly nothing really to attract the fans to him.
Sin Cara beats Chavo - Sin Cara just dominated Chavo and it was platform for Sin Cara and showed off all his big moves including a summersault from the inside the ring over the top rope and onto Chavo and Sin Cara got a clean win over Chavo who some likely just happy to be back on Pay-per-view which he probably has not been on one in over a year or two.
Then they had an interview with Christian and Randy Orton and it got over the point that Christian was not unhappy that Randy Orton won the tittle from him because he knows he going to beat him tonight to get the tittle back. While Orton talked about him being able to strike at any second and that he will strike Christian with his vanim and keep the tittle.
Then Alberto Del Rio came out in his 200,000 dollar car and talked about how he does not like the immigration problem and talked about how he did not like how some many people sneak into the country and does not like going to coffee shops and listen to whine how they can not get a break and Del Rio said they should leave country. Then Big Show and Kane came down and Kane talked about how disappointed that the prapshor yesterday and then Big Show talked about shoving his boot down Del Rio throat and Del Rio left the announcers talked about Kane and Show taken out the rest of Nextus so it would only them against Punk and Ryan for the tag team tittles.
The match was next and Big Show and Kane dominated Punk and Ryan where Ryan got some big moves in but in the end Ryan got doubled choke slammed by both of them to keep him strong but I do not know why Punk was not the one pinned because he will be leaving soon for a break and might be back in like 6 month to a year.
Divas Tittle next Brie Vs Kelly
It started with Matthew talking about how Kelly Kelly is the favorite of the King and King agreed and King talked all about how he talked to her by the event and both Matthew and Cole made the comment that they were surprised that King actually talked to Kelly Kelly. Booker T talked about how he could not tell them apart and King said that Cole knows where a tattoo that tells them apart. After twin magic Nikki pinned Kelly when the referee had his back turned and the most surprising thing was Cole after the match said I'm surprised Kharama was not around to play mind games with Kelly and she did not show up.
Then Cole got ready for the kiss my foot match and left his cave to go backstage to stretch while we went to a run down of the events leading up to the Smackdown match between Christian and Orton and showed Orton winning the tittle and then we went to the match.
Randy Orton beat Christian to stay Champ but the crowd was heavy behind Christian but it shows that the booker and vince are not as Randy Orton having the tittle is like Cena having the tittle 10 times or Triple H having the tittle how many ever times he has had it so its the same garbage all over again babyface Orton has the tittle until the crowd turns him again and he will loss the tittle to Christian maybe at summerslam.
Kiss my foot match next
Jerry Lawyer defeated Michael Cole in what looks like the finale to this horrible angle Lawyer with some help from his friends humiliated Cole with Eve getting beats onto Cole after he had interrupted her matches and belittled her while J.R. after having Cole pour BBQ sauce all over him got into the ring and poured BBQ sauce down Cole throat. When Cole tried to leave and not have to taste the King's foot King original opponent in a kiss my foot match Bret the Hitman Hart came down the ramp and forced Cole back into the ring to taste the King's foot. In the end the most embarrassed performer in this match would have to be good Ol JR because he is a fool to pour BBQ sauce down someone's throat but at least it is all over except lets see what happens tomorrow with the announcers is Cole only on SD or is he still on both can JR get a full time gig again or is he stuck in the back.
"I Quit match" Cena Vs Miz
Miz throw everything at Cena he beat him down with chairs and kendo sticks, beats along with being doubled teamed for almost half an hour by Miz and Raily but it took 30 seconds of a beat down with a belt and aa and Cena and the kids remain the champ and we get another promo from Cena to open the show maybe something about Macho and then he will ramble on about how he was beat down by two guys last and champ is still here.
Maybe the worst Pay Per View for the WWE in years or maybe they are showing TNA how to do a bad Pay Per View

live and times of Macho Man
Randall Mario Poffo best known as the Macho Man Randy Savade passed away (November 15, 1952 – May 20, 2011) while driving his Jeep Wrangler on a Florida highway as he crossed a medium and hit a tree. His brother Lanny Poffo has said that his brother had a heart attack and Macho Man died at age 58.
He was a minor league baseball player in the early 70's until he hurt his right arm and his baseball career ended with the Tampa Bay Tarpons in 1974 and he started his wrestling career in 1973 during the baseball off-season and his first Wrestling persona was The Spider Friend which was based on spider man and Ole Anderson later in Georgia Championship Wrestling suggested that Randy change his last name of his ring name from Poffo to Savage because he wrestled like a savage.
He was a Wrestler that most people will known him from his days in the than called WWF and later in the WCW after a bitter dispute with Vince Macmahon that had soiled his legacy in wrestling history as he had not been on WWE TV in over a decade and the WWE had not acknowledged him in over a decade until just recently when they put out a DVD on his career that he was not involved with so it had a lot of the WWE's spin to it and then his likeness was put into the new WWE video game "all-stars".
He most remembered through his on screen relationship with Miss Elizabeth when they entered the WWF at the time in 1985 as Miss Elizabeth was his valet and they were actually married December 30th, 1984 a half year before they enter the WWF in June of 1985 as a crazy heel who would abuse Elizabeth and threaten anyone who looked at her the wrong way. He won his first WWF by beating Tito Santana for the WWF Intercontinental title in early '86 and his most famous match ever and maybe the greatest match in North American wrestling history was with Ricky "the dragon" Steamboat @ Wrestlemania III that overshadowed the main event of Hulk Hogan beating Andrei the Giant @ the Pontiac Silverdome. In '87 he won the king of the ring tournament and then slowly turning baby face and teaming up with Hulk Hogan as the Mega Powers and it started with the Heart foundation interfered in an intercontinental title match with Champ the Honky Tonk Man and Elizabeth got Hogan to come out and save Macho. He won his first WWF World tittle @ Wrestlemania IV in the World tittle tournament when he defeated Ted Dibiase in the final and then Dibiase teamed up with Andrei the Giant as the Mega Bucks to face the Mega Powers at the original Summerslam where his than wife Miss Elizabeth took off her skirt to distract the Mega Bucks and the Mega Powers broke up on the last Saturday night main event for years in a primetime time slot when Elizabeth got hurt and Hogan carried her back to the locker room and then after the match they argued at Elizabeth bedside and lost his first world championship against Hogan @ Wrestlemania V which was a rein of 371 days. He then turned heel again and was managed by Sensational Sherri and they were called "Macho King" and "Queen" Sherri after Savage beat Hacksaw Jim Duggan in the 1989 King of the Ring and he was a world champion as King Macho. Macho Man's on screen relationship on and off screen with miss Elizabeth was finalized at Summerslam '91 when they married in an angle but by this time they had been apart in real life and Elizabeth filed for a real divorce in early '92. He became a Color commentator in 93 and 94 after receiving an almost career ending injury and would have a match once in a while until he signed with WCW and became a 4 time Heavyweight champion and becoming a NWO member and joining Hogan and his people again and had a madness team with Madusa and Miss Madness who would move to WWF later to become Molly Holly and Savages last tittle was won @ the Great American Bash '99 but lost it the next night on Nitro and then he ended his wrestling career with TNA and his final match was at the 2004 turn point PPV as he had a falling out with TNA management so after over winning the tittle against Jeff Jarrett.
It is sad that Randy Macho Man Savade and Vince McMahon could not patch up their relationship as every big time wrestlers who leaves the mica of wrestling the WWE they always come back and he never came back in his last 17 years of his life. I do not know if Vince will very allow him into the WWE hall of fame which should of been done years ago and I would like him to put his differences aside because whatever he did was off camera and has nothing to do with his wrestling career. The WWE has finally put together something in his honor on their website but were not able to put together something for the beginning of Smackdown as it was already set before the accident happened but they should do something for the beginning of the PPV on Sunday. In the end they really need to dedicate Monday night Raw to Macho Man and have some of the guys in the back like Ricky Steamboat, Arn Anderson, Dusty Rhoades, and Jim Ross to talk about Macho Man along with wrestlers breaking cavfav and talking about how he was a guy they watched when they were younger like a guy like CM Punk.
Savage won 2 WWE titles along with the intercontinental tittle and 4 WCW world tittles and he married Lynn Payne on May 10,2010 and she was beside him at the time of his death as she was in the car with him.

The Atlanta Thrashers are heading to Winnipeg, Manitoba
So according to sportnets Stephen Brunt the Atlanta Thrashers have been sold to the True North group who owns both the Arena in Winnipeg and Vancouver Canucks farm team the Manitoba Moose and the deal will be announced on Tuesday after the Victoria Day holiday which happens on Monday. The Atlanta Thrashers have been having legal problems over the last 6 years between the Atlanta Spirit group and co-owner Steve Belkin and reportedly lost 130 Million on the bottomless pit organization and also have lost 50 million on the franchise sale value of the team because because of the bitter dispute at the hearty of this franchise's ownership group. Which sadly be carried over to the Manitoba something or others as the True North group just recently had been asking for provincial funds to help bring the Thrashers to Manitoba and the city of Winnipeg which is sad because if there is not stable ownership in Manitoba the team could already be on shaky ground. This is because no matter how great the fans will be in Winnipeg and they will be great and no matter how much putting the province instead of the City on the team will generate interest and sells of merchandise just like the Saskatchewan being the name of the Green Riders instead of a city like Regina or Saskatoon has down for that organization.
The Fans in Winnipeg, Manitoba will flock to the arena and by there jersey and hats and noise makers and it will be way more exciting than any Carolina or Florida or Tampa Bay or any of the other non hockey market arenas and it will diffidently bring smiles to the province of Manitoba and it is great for Canada and the Canadian dollar is much better than in '96. The Tailgating before games will be awesome and lets hope that the Atlanta Thrasher players do not have as much problem leaving Atlanta as the players in Phoenix did when it was looking like the Phoenix Coyotes were coming back to Winnipeg as the players like the warm weather along with not being known which they will not be in Winnipeg, Manitoba as they will be celebrities and fans hunt them down to get an autograph.
In the end it all comes down to corporate support that was not there in '96 to keep the team in Winnipeg and in the last 15 years the players salaries even in the hard cap world of the NHL has almost tripled from $892,000 to $ 2.4 million this season we have just ended and the very expensive boxes that brings in a lot of the revenue elsewhere is not an option. This is because it does not have luxury boxes and at this time the 50 year old current area holds only 14,000-16,000 fans and most other arena in the NHL have like 18,000-22,000 and for a league that is completely dependent on the gate receipts it is going to be interesting how much profit the team will make if any. So it might come down to building a new arena in the long run and sadly the people of Manitoba will be on the hook for the majority of the cost of a new arena if not all of it which will at least cost 200 million to build. For example the Phillips arena that has held the Atlanta Thrashers since 1999 cost 213.5 million dollars and yes the Phillips razor blade did spend 168 million dollars for 20 years to have their name on the building but it is hard to believe that a corporation is coming up with 8.4 million a season to name a now arena in Winnipeg, Manitoba
The fans will be the best but I do not know about the rest of it
Tom Mehegan
The Fans in Winnipeg, Manitoba will flock to the arena and by there jersey and hats and noise makers and it will be way more exciting than any Carolina or Florida or Tampa Bay or any of the other non hockey market arenas and it will diffidently bring smiles to the province of Manitoba and it is great for Canada and the Canadian dollar is much better than in '96. The Tailgating before games will be awesome and lets hope that the Atlanta Thrasher players do not have as much problem leaving Atlanta as the players in Phoenix did when it was looking like the Phoenix Coyotes were coming back to Winnipeg as the players like the warm weather along with not being known which they will not be in Winnipeg, Manitoba as they will be celebrities and fans hunt them down to get an autograph.

CBS introduced Charlie Sheen's replacement on two and a half men
So CBS went out and got the star of the big screen and the little screen Ashton Kutcher to replace Charlie Sheen and I would expected that is going to either be a long lost brother not named Charlie or a distant relative or just a friend of Alan. Kutcher reportedly is going to make around a million per episodes which is half the amount that Charlie Sheen made during his last season on two and a half men.
Ashton Kutcher has been on that 70's show and it was his big entrance into the limelight and most people know him from his punk'd TV show where he punk'd out celebrity friends. He also has done movies like Dude where's my car, Butterfly effect, Bobby, and Just Married which means that he has done different type of movies as Dude where's my car is a comedy while Butterfly effect is a more serious movie along with Just Married where he tried and failed to mix comedy and drama.
Ashton Kutcher can be a name to get even more interest in what will be happening with two and a half men this fall as a lot will be watching the first episode but with Kutcher's comedy background he may keep the series going and if he is given a good character and good lines along with not being like Charlie the show may last more than a season but we will see what happens. In the end the big question will be if there will be a big lawsuit flied by Charlie Sheen and his people and how messy it could get as Charlie Sheen has it writing in his contract that if he is let go by the show he would continue collecting in paycheck even if he was not on the show.
Ashton will be interesting to watch and Charlie will probably settle out of court

The Toronto Rock have brought a championship back to Toronto
365 days ago the Toronto Rock faced the Washington Stealth where the Toronto Rock were up 10-6 and then the Stealth ran off 8 straight goals which gave the Stealth a 14-10 lead and they went onto a 15-11 victory in Everett, Washington.
Today the Rock scored the first goal when D Glen Bryan scored @ 1:54 in the first quarter but Stealth tied it up with a Smith goal @ 5:14 of the first quarter and until 2:08 left in the second quarter the Rock scored 5 straight goals to take a 6-1 lead and then the Stealth and the Rock got a goal each before the end of the first half and the Rock lead 7-2. In the third quarter it was all about the defense as the Stealth scored the only 2 goals in the quarter as they scored 1:07 with a Duch goal and then scored with 50 seconds left in the quarter when Lewis Ratcliff scored and it was 7-4 and the Luke Wiles of the Stealth fans in front of me were completely going crazy and they kept going in the fourth quarter as Lewis Ratcliff scored 1:23 into the final quarter and then Zywicki scored for the Stealth with 10 minutes left in the game and it was 7-6 Rock. At this point the Luke Wiles fans were doing their go Stealth go chant and yelling at the Stealth players as they dominated the Rock and call names at Rock captain Colin Doyle as he was one of the players that the Stealth traded to the Rock before the 2010 NLL season began as the Stealth traded basically Colin Doyle for both Lewis Ratcliff and Luke Wiles. So it was 7-6 and the Rocks fans were trying to stay excited but it was hard until Stephan Leblanc scored with 8:01 left in the quarter to give the Rock a 8-6 lead but while the Rock fans were cheering the first Rock goal in 23 minutes the Stealth went down and got the goal back with 7:48 left to was 8-7 Rock and it was back and forth with hopes of the Rock putting more breathing room between themselves and the Stealth and the nervousness of the Stealth tying the game up but in the end the Rock were unable to score their 9 goal but Bob "Whipper" Watson kept the ball out of the Rock net in the final game in his 15 seasons in the NLL so the Rock held on for a 8-7 win and brought a championship back to Toronto.
Bob "Whipper" Watson was named Championship Cup MVP as he made 46 saves on 53 shots which was an amazing to end a fantastic career and it is his second Championship Cup MVP as he also won MVP in 2003 and now he has won 6 Championship Cups all with the Toronto Rock. He also made Youtube spectacular saves which will be all over the internet in the next few days and were definite goals if he did not play out of his mind at times to make sure the Rock won the title for Toronto and the 14,000 plus Rock fans in attendance. If the Stealth had won the MVP would of gone to their goalie Richards who made 50 saves on 58 shots and kept the Stealth in the game especially in the second half as he saved 20 of 21 shots to help get the Stealth back into the game.
After the game when NLL commissioner called for captain Colin Doyle to come get the cup for the Rock instead of him going to get the cup it was Kasey Barnes which was a surprised and Bob Watson went around with his daughter after the game and made final round of the Toronto Rock floor and Kasey Barnes also played with his kid around one of the nets while the Rock players past around the Championship cup and took a group photo on the floor and then watched the Stealth post game conference on big screen.
So going into next season the Rock has to figure out two things and those are one if they are going to play out of the ACC or somewhere else and it is more likely they will but they may also move to Oshawa or somewhere to be closer to their main fan base and keep costs down. The Second is who will be the starting goalie next season as they could maybe try and get a Matt Vinc or an Anthony Cosmo but they could also start a younger goalie and try to build another franchise goalie and this is going to be the more interesting decision going into the off season as Watson has been the only Rock goalie in the franchise history.

A sportsnet connected announcer fired, a hockey agent needing to do lots of PR, and Sean Avery is simply Sean Avery
Roger sportsnet has had to put out another fire as Rogers Sportsnet connected announcer Damian Goddard tweeted a supportive message towards an unknown hockey agent of Uptown Sports in Burlington until earlier this week named Todd Reynolds when he tweeted about Sean Avery's commercial supporting gay marriage in New York State and he tweeted that Avery's position was sad and wrong. So you have one guy without a job right now, another guy trying his best to put a PR spin on his social media outburst after being quietly representing players like Mike Fisher of the Nashville Predators and U have a hockey player that is more likely to take pot at other hockey players by calling their girlfriend "sloppy seconds" like in the case of Dion Phaneuf and his girlfriend Elisha Cuthbert that Avery was suspended 6 games for. He also been known for doing stupid things on the ice that have made teammates mad and worn out his welcome with teams like the Dallas Stars and it looks like the team he has played the most for the New York Rangers are having a hard time dealing with his issues and he has hurt the team who has a great goalie in HENRIK LUNDQVIST and highly skilled forward MARIAN GABORIK and can barely get into the playoffs and have a horrible time against the Washington Capitals.
It is the Sean Avery way of doing things which is to make sure to keep his name in the headlines and put himself before everyone else so he could have done the advertisement for same sex marriages because either he feels strongly that same sex marriages should be allowed or he felt that doing this advertisement would keep his name in the headlines and he did it to boost his ego. No matter which it is he has brought up a real hot bottom topic which sent both Todd Reynolds and Damian Goddard off the deep end and before thinking of the consequences they went onto twitter and put out their opinion on the same sex marriage debate and both of them regret now that they put their opinion out in public as the hot water they are both in right now does not feel good.

a mother day message
(this blog entry is dedicated to my mother Gretchen Mehegan)
With mother's day tomorrow I felt like writing a blog entry on mothers so mothers are very important as they raise their child(ren) and give them the tools to grow up big and strong. They also are there when your child(ren) are upset and try to help them figure out how to make it better and then other times they are tough and do not back down when they need to teach their child(ren) a lesson that will hopefully help them in the long run.
My mother has always been a single mom and I was born with a disability so it would be a bit tougher than some other mothers and this is because it is diffidently tougher dealing and molding a child with a disability as there are a number of difficult challenges that you get do not get with an able body child. Sometimes it could be that they are not able to walk and are basically dependent on a wheelchair to get around and not able to do things that would be second nature like feeding themselves and dressing themselves. Then their are people like me that can walk but would be taken to physical therapy to be able to use arms and legs more effectively along with being a tiny bit slower at picking up skills like reading and writing and mothers would worry am I doing all I can to help my child grow up into a young adult along with needing extra car rides to go places that able body people would not need to be able to just get up and go when they feel like it as your not able to phone up wheel trans and you have to make an appointment and then U get a time window when U will be picked up and U need to be ready when they get there because if U miss the ride U can be penalized by being kicked off the service or getting a warning that can lead to being kick off the service the next time.
So my mom has done as much as she has needed to do to help build me into the guy that I am and while she was doing that she also decided to go to teachers college at night a couple of days a week to become a teacher while being an insurance agent by day. Then when she got her paper work done she had to start as a substitute high school teacher for a couple years while also being an insurance agent before finally get an opportunity to become a full-time high school teacher working a school she did not like and had to wait for her opportunity to get to work at a school that liked.
Happy Mother's day MEHEGAN

Daniel Nestor is the greatest Canadian Tennis Player of all-time
(this post is dedicated to my friend Rosie on her birthday)
Daniel Nestor is the greatest Canadian Tennis Player of all-time
Daniel Nestor was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia on September 4th,1972 and now lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and he was honored with the order of Canada in December, 2010.
Daniel Nestor has been a great doubles player and started his pro career on July 29, 1991 and he is a left-hander and his doubles record is 795-304 with 72 titles and most of the time he teamed with Mark Knowles of the Bahamas and they have won a 3 grand slam together as they won the Australian Open (2002), US Open (2004), and French Open (2007). They had 40 career titles together and he also has teamed with Nenad Zimonjić and they have won 24 doubles titles including winning the Wimbledon in both 2008 and 2009 along with French Open in 2010 and the Wimbledon Open in 2008 gave Nestor the career grand slam.
On October 2Nd, 2000 Daniel Nestor and Sébastien Lareau won the Olympic gold medal in Sydney, Australia beating the Woodbridge brothers from New Zealand and Daniel Nestor has been huge on the hard court circuit as he has won 42 of his 72 doubles on the hard court surface and has been ranked No.1 in doubles.
His singles appearance is a far cry to his doubles ability as he is 85-118 record and the height of his singles career was in 1999 on the heels of a 3 round finish @ the Australian Open and a sweet sixteen finish @ Wimbledon and was ranked 58 just before going into the US open. He has decided to not play singles and instead play only doubles later in his pro career which has been very good for his success.
Happy Birthday Rosie,

Gus Johnson is the biggest free agent in Sports Announcing
Gus Johnson has broken off talks with CBS and have become a free agent and he is working on a deal with Fox to do College football for Fox as they have just gained Pac 12 college football and he could also do NFL games as he has done NFL games ever since 1998. He is amazing announcer and when he gets a big finish to a game which happens quite a lot he gets totally excited about what is happening and he blows the speakers out of my TV so it is a good thing for Fox if they can get a deal done and will leave a gapping hole at CBS. If he does not get a deal done with FOX then a group like ABC and ESPN will come in and give him a great deal and a huge spot light like being apart of ESPN's Monday Night Football along with ABC's NBA coverage like Sunday afternoon Basketball and he could also do ESPN's college football.
However gets Guy Johnson will be getting a great announcer who will bring life to as much of the companies live sports action as he is very knowledgeable about lots of sports as he is doing Manny Pacquiao Vs Shawn Mosley this Saturday on PPV, Has done US Open golf in his announcing career, of course he has done March Madness for CBS for years and years along with NFL football. Gus Johnson will be a very rich, rich man no matter who signs the biggest free agent in sports announcing in years and will be making very close to what the top announcers in any sport are making.
U go get them Gus Johnson

Canada maybe in for some dark days ahead with the Conservatives in control of the country
So tonight Canada learned that it is OK to lie (yes it is OK to buy 36 billion dollars worth of fighter jets and said it was only 9 billion dollars) and that Canada wants lots of tax cuts and the great American health care service of health care only if your rich and/or privileged. Thats only the start for Conservative majority as it would not surprise me at all if Stephen Harper gets rid of the paper trail and go electrical for elections and the people in the USA can tell you all about how great and honest that kind of system has been for them in the past. The Conservatives have not been in full power yet but already they have taken fishing away from fishing communities as they have allowed the big rig fishing boats from offshore to take up to 5000 tons of fish down east and even in their own backyard they are allowing oil companies in Alberta where a first nation community lives and of course off the land and the moose meat they are eaten has 453 times the acceptable level of arsenic along with some parts of Northern Alberta have surge in higher levels of cancer. This is because of what is called "tar sands" that is one of the worst Greenhouse Gas polluters in the world and the 3 deposits of Tar sands are located in North Alberta and covers a larger landmass than England and hold proven oil reserves amounting to 175,000,000,000 barrels. The Conservatives are willing to look the other way while this goes on and gives huge tax breaks to companies that based in the tar sand business.
The thing is that if they are willing to do this to parts of their own home base as the Conservatives power is mostly based in Alberta along with Saskatchewan what will they be willing to do to the rest of Canada as the last Conservative government in Ontario poisoned water and killed Innocent people in WALKERTON and it was just for a quick buck.
The sadist part is that only 39.7% of the people who voted wanted the Conservatives in power and it all came down to one person which was the Conservatives biggest selling point who was Michael Ignatieff the leader of the Liberal party who they put at the end of their commercials with his comment "American is as much your country, as it is my country" and he lost his own seat to a Conservative by 2500 votes. It is sad that the liberal and the NDP could not get together and puts their votes together and take down the Conservatives but it did not happen and over the next 4 years Canada will be getting a face change and not to the better and it is nice that the NDP got 103 of the 308 seats in the federal election and the Liberals will have 4 years to come up with a better leader than Michael Ignatieff because the NDP may not be able to take down the Conservatives by themselves.
O' Canada what did we get into
