Congrats to the Als

I want to send along my congrats to the Montreal Allouettes this day. Back to back championships is more than noteworthy in these times of salary caps and cost saving. Did I enjoy watching the Allouettes win yesterday?... not really, I felt all along they would win and nothing bores me more than knowing what will happen as I invest 3-4 hours of viewing time. I still enjoy the playoffs and championship games in any pro sport. When you get to that stage all the buildup and pre game loop makes sense. It's the regular season action that grinds me.. I actually still like watching tons of sports, but I can't handle the endless pre game loop that tells you about useless story lines. You get the full nine yards of tv production on the opening to game 20 of the regular season whether it needs it or not. It might just be me, but once the game starts it seems like that entire pre game wheel is forgotten in an instant. While we.....er.... I am venting, I have totally given up on the salary cap. It should be renamed salary crap.Why would any sane hockey fan in a mecca like Toronto care that his team can only spend a fixed amount of money to keep sinking teams like the Florida Panthers in business. Due to the incredible NHL marketing machine revenues keep going up and while the spending ceiling increases every year so does the spending floor. That alone will eventually force the weak teams to consider a move back to Canada, we hope! Next time out we talk Real Estate.
