Ben Johnson and Soul Olympics 25 aniversary

September 24Th,1988 the Canadian Olympic runner Ben Johnson ran away in a 100 meter dash with the gold medal in a world record of 9.79 and could of gone even faster if he did not raise his hands in celebration before crossing the finish line and Canada erupted in a huge celebration and it was the highest of highs. Then came the lowest of the low on September 27Th when the disgraced Jamaican Olympic runner Ben Johnson was striped of his world record that would not be matched for a decade and he had his gold medal taken away. So Canada eat up Big Ben and spit him out and he struggled to get back to living him life which included racing horses and getting back to racing and getting caught once again and finally actually got a cheetah energy drink endorsement. He was pulled in front of a Dubin inquiry with Charles Dubin,Ontario Appeal Court Chief Justice and got mud thrown at him and he was disgraced on national TV and Canadian eat him up and spit him out and disowned him which no other country would do and in the end it was dirtiest race in Olympic race with 7 of the 8 runners in the Olympic 100 meter final. The guy who was given Big Ben's medal Carl Lewis was caught doping at the US Olympic trails before heading Soul, Korean but it was never announced and he was never suspended and only came clean in Sports Illustrated Ben Johnson positive test was also end of Canadians innocence as Canadians would never look at a sports athlete or Olympic athlete the same again even if they can pee cleanly into a bottle the question in the back of their mind are they actually competing cleanly. It is also very interesting that nobody of Ben Johnson has not been caught doping before or after Soul and not Donavan Baily who won the 1996 Atlanta Olympic won the gold medal in the 100 meter dash and it was just not the same as it was only 8 years earlier. Still to this day the 100 meter dash is still won of the dirtiest sporting events where I would not be surprised if everybody in the semi-finals (the top 16 is doping) and the clean has just made it that much easier to cheat and they can dope even closer to their competitions as they used to have to wait two or three month and now its overnight its out of the body. Ben Johnson in the end was miss treated by Canada and is owed an apology so I sorry it was so hard to live your life after Soul, Korean Tom Mehegan

Paul Heyman out smarts Punk again

The night started with Trips in the ring and he started telling what a great night he had put together and then Heyman came down to the ring with Curtis Axel and tried to get himself out of the handicap match and Trips asked if he is confident in Axel and Axel opened his mouth and said that Trips was made that he lost to him in his first Raw match and Trips said he was going to the back and the first guy he found would come out and face Axel and the boom boom boom (Kingston) came down to the ring. So it looked like Punk was about kill Heyman after he took every single kendo stick shot to his head and body from Curtis Axel and finally he got his anaconda device on Axel and he kept it on long after Axel tapped so that he was writing out of the story. Which left Punk looking at the unkempt Heyman who had not shaven since Tuesday and just was not himself and Punk dragged him into the ring and handcuffed behind his back and immediately tried to tap and tried to use his feet to tap out and end the hurt but did not listen and Punk to continue attacking with a kendo stick. This continued until Punk put the kendo stick to totally kill Heyman but Ryback came into the ring and speared Punk and then gave him the shell shock and then lazily dragged Heyman on top of Punk for the three count and then he carried Heyman to the back. This is not unexpected as it looked like the storyline needed a new person and Axel was likely killed off but he did start the night with s huge battle with Kofi Kingston and did get the victory and kept his Intercontinental title so he will lose it tomorrow and will disappear. Then there is Ryback who has been lost without a storyline since the story of him and Cena ran it course and he needed a mouth piece and Heyman is the best mouth in the WWE and Heyman needs a muscle man to do his dirty work and Ryback is a more hated guy than Axel is. Reyback will still hear the Goldberg chant but that is way different than the crickets that can be heard when Axel is in the ring. The crowd in Detroit was hot Tom mehegan

Sportsnet 590 fire Jim Lang to shake things up in Toronto Sports radio

Jim Lang has been fired by the Sportsnet 590 and it is a sign of the fan wants to shake things up and I do not know why they would shaken things up as they are destroying TSN radio and that guy Mike Richards with his goofball morning show and maybe Richards has gotten a bigger piece of the youth viewer/listenership but this decision is surprising. So Greg Brady is sticking around with the morning show and will be needing a brand new co-host and it will probably be a bit of a search and I guess they would be looking for younger fresher face and if they go within the rogers building they need look at the sports educated Jeff Sammut who also has a wicked sense of humor. He also has been behind a lot of show bites of past morning show and bring new blood in to try to bring in younger listeners to try to boost listenership for the future of Toronto Sports radio and not let TSN radio breath at all. The surprising thing is that the fan has released a guy like Jim Lang will they keep Stormin' Norman Rumack just sits on the sidelines waiting for a couple seconds ever so often while going back to internet radio on NSS which is paid for by Frank D'Angelo who has made a name for himself with his being Frank TV show and his musical career that spans 4 decades and now contains an Orchestra. So the Fan has no problem just letting Lang walk and maybe bring something of an energy boost to the other guys and maybe bring a bite more life to their football knowledge as they are really focused on the Leafs and nothing else. While The fan does not want to use Stormin' but also is too scared to let a guy because he could start an actual overnight program that could give the other guys and give them a chance to find new listeners and battle harder. So in the Lange horns R.I.P. it has been fun having Lang horns on Tim&Sid and the stories of Lang craziness of the air Tom Mehegan
