Next on the docket...

It has been quite the summer for sporting events. The World Cup dominated the beginning of the warm months and just as it was finishing up the Tour de France kicked into high gear. Then everything kind of went quiet...TDF ended on July 25th and it is now the 30th of August. Sure NFL preseason is underway and Tiger gets to swing a club for a few hours a week but unless you are a die hard MLB fan you've been stuck watching the Kraft Celebration Tour on Sports Centre followed by the litany of World Series of Poker shows.
But now, as September is just on the horizon, life comes back to the sporting world. Never mind that the least of the Grand tours is into it's third stage, where Cav just relinquished the red leaders jersey to Philippe Gilbert of Omega Pharma-Lotto, now is the time when NFL Fantasy pools rule the workplace, when NHL training camp is so close you can smell the rancid stench of hockey cologne , when every true sports fan wonders who the next Mr. October will be, and when wives wonder why nothing is getting done around the house.
It is a wonderful time of the year!
