Relationship Advice Bullshit →
Everyday, MSN, Yahoo and other search engine/news websites publish ‘advice’ blogs. Sometimes they’re interesting. Usually they’re just obnoxious. This is an example of the latter.
The link at the top is to an msn blog offering ’advice’ to guys on how to better read their woman so they know when she’s unhappy. I can’t blame MSN for publishing...

To Hall With It - Episode 16 →
Good day, good day!
The Coach and I agree; the two goliaths of the NFL can be beaten. We also bemoan the general downward trend of the AFC as the NFC appears to be on the rise.
There’s trouble in Chicago (and not just because they lost the Olympics). Finally, Redskins fans should hold on to their lugnuts cause it’s time for an overhaul.
Chris and I talk briefly about a...
Captain Blye And The Rabbi - Episode 8 →
Hello Hockey Fans!!! Welcome back! Something remarkable has happened in the last two weeks…The Leafs are winning! The Captain David Blye and myself discuss how exactly hell froze over in Toronto. The Senators are also showing signs of malaise and rot. We both predict a long and luckluster season for Ottawa fans. Philadelphia’s flying low … bloody low! Finally, Dave and...
The Solution To Our Debt Problem: Don't Buy Stuff... →
Hello all,
As personal and government debts reach new levels in the stratosphere, I offer up this legendary SNL skit as the solution to all our problems.
I was a debt collector and a university student. I’ve both collected debt and had to pay it off. I’m still paying it off for my post-secondary education. Debt isn’t a bad thing in and of itself but so many people lack...

To Hall With It - Episode 15 →
Good day, Good day, Good day!
Welcome back to our podcast. My apologies for the one week hiatus. I was out on the east coast last week but I’m back and so is The Coach Chris Hall.
We do a much belated rundown of the CFL’s dramatic Grey Cup. Hollywood could not have a written a better script. CFL commissioner Mark Cohon gave his state-of-the-league address. He made some...

As our soldiers bleed the ground red in Kandahar this Christmas season, the weasels on Parliament hill continue to dig their own cynical trenches at the expense of our troops. This so-called scandal surrounding the transfer of Taliban detainees is so stupid it doesn’t merit a write up on this blog. However, the three opposition parties have managed to reach new depths in their quest for...

Santa Is A US Republican (And A Supply-Sider Too)
A Christmas tradition in my household is to watch Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer several times during the holiday season. I’m talking about the 1964 animated version narrated by Burl Ives. A true holiday classic. I watched it again this year and noticed a few things about its depiction of Santa Clause. I can’t for the life of me tell you how or why I came to the following conclusion but there is...

Captain Blye And The Rabbi - Episode 7 →
Hello Hockey Fans! Regardless of what you call them; Le Bleu-Blanc-et-Rouge, La Sainte-Flanelle, Le Tricolore, Les Habitants, the Montreal Canadiens are undeniably the most storied and decorated franchise in the history of the NHL. The Habs turn 100 on Friday. Some hockey clubs represent little more than a sport to their fans. The Canadiens embody French Canada’s place in the world. ...
