I’ve never seen a ten-year-old play like this! I’ve also never heard a ten-year-old talk like this.
Is it possible that this kid is playing and preaching in the NBA in ten years?! Doesn’t seem like a stretch either way.

Two Sports for Lumsden
Few of us ever attain anything close to elite athletic status. Even fewer do so in more than one sport. Bo, Deion, and MJ are a few that come to mind, though most of us don’t count Jordan’s baseball days as much more than an experiment. Charlie Ward and Danny Ainge are couple lesser-known athletes who collected paychecks from two different sports. Google the name Jim Thorpe if you want to meet a true multi-sport star.
But what about Jesse Lumsden?
The CFL star, one of the most punishing running backs but also one who can hardly stay healthy for a season at at time, used his recenttly shortened season to knock on some new doors of opportunity.
If I gave you three guesses, you’d never get what his second sport has become.
Answer is HERE.
Strategy
NFL.
Two weeks ago.
The Arizona Cardinals played the Green Bay Packers.
Green Bay won, the final game of the regular season.
Last weekend, they rematched in the first round of the playoffs. The Cardinals won.
HERE is a fascinating story of the coaching strategy and game plans from Arizona’s coaching staff during that two-week head-to-head. Consider it a “behind the curtain” peek, and a fantastic illustration of “thinking big picture”.
For the Gold
Rematch: Canada VS USA on Tuesday night.
You KNOW that TSN is smiling about this one.
Fleury Fan
As a kid, my five favourite hockey players were Joe Sakic, Mike Modano, Wendel Clark, Theoren Fleury, and Steve Yzerman.
Reasons? First, no one can dislike Yzerman.
The other four? They’d all been parts of my childhood as I had watched them all in their junior days with the Swift Current Broncos, Prince Albert Raiders, Saskatoon Blades, and Moose Jaw Warriors respectively.
As of last week, only one of the five was still playing.
As of last night, another may be back.
Now age 41, having been absent from the league for 6 years, Theo is taking another stab at it. The Flames granted him a spot at training camp–the rest is up to him.
Last night, he scored the shootout winner.
Looks like he may be serious.
And that would be more than fine by this fan.
