Big news, ladies and gentlemen. This Wednesday, during a practise round at the PGA tour's stop in New Orleans, an alligator walked across the 10th fairway with three players on it. No attacks or anything (in fact, Davis Love stood watching it, taking a picture with his camera phone), but it opens the door for a point to be trumped: The gator on the golf course (not just living in a pond on the course) negates the case "Why would it climb the steps?" I think the fairway is a symbolic staircase.

Bubba Watson blew a fuse on Steve Elkington yesterday, telling him to 'stop fucking walking' and at one point, telling him to kiss his ass. Nick Faldo laughing when the camera picked it up live probably didn't help matters, and Elkington walked off the 18th green without shaking the hands of Watson or Shigeki Maryuma, and it looked like they argued some more in the scorer's tent. Watson has since apologised, but coupled with a colourful leaderboard, and the animals on the course Wednesday and Thursday, it's been a pretty unique week so far.

March 13-16: Arnold Palmer Invitational by Mastercard. Bay Hill, Orlando Vijay Singh March 20-23: WGC: CA Championship. Doral, Miami Tiger Woods March 20-23: Puerto Rico Open by Banco Popular. Trump International, Rio Grande Inaugural March 27-30: Zurich Classic. TPC Avondale, New Orleans Nick Watney A little late, but plenty going on: The Isenhour saga, Daly's antics, Ernie making news, an inaugural event and the second playing at a new course (Zurich). Plus, two really good tournaments this and next week, and the Masters are sneaking up. Have at 'er.

I only ever said 'force', thank you. And the Sabres aren't done, but Boston's about to defeat Ottawa, which won't help.

Are there any biographies about Andre the Giant? I really enjoyed reading what Bret had to say about him in his book, and I remember an article from a WWE Magazine in 97ish where Tim White and Arnie Skaaland reminisced about him. I imagine Heenan talks about him quite a bit in his autobiography as well.

Not quite. Puts 'em four points back with four games left.

It also takes considerable wind out of the sails of Washington and Buffalo, both of whom are losing in the third.

I would have called carrot cake my favourite a week ago, but I had some cherry bundt cake with Easter dinner with vanilla icing - it's the icing that's key in carrot cake, I think. To be fair, my memory could be jaded, it's probably been about a year since I had carrot cake.

I don't like a single treat in that sentence.

Who's the geekiest athlete in history? John Stockton? Rance Mulliniks? Davis Love III?

TSN.ca has reported that Luongo has left the team to be with his wife. This on the heels of the news that Brendan Morrison is out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.

gay sex. Edit: That's awesome. Double edit: What if I want to pose the question "Do you think Marvin would like to have gay sex with gay sex?"

Caddyshack gets an exemption because it's on another tier of movies for me. And I'd hardly call it 'the best', but Tin Cup might be my favourite sports movie. With those two out of the way, Field of Dreams.

If the concept of all six Canadian teams getting into the playoffs wasn't dead (it was), it's certainly buried tonight. Minnesota gets a big win over Edmonton, knocking Calgary out of the division lead. Edmonton's not too drastically effected, though - Colorado's win over Vancouver means they switch spots to 7-8, but the Oil remain three back. What an entertaining division. It's moreso the case this year with so many great games being played and the Habs playing so well, but the NHL and NBA playoffs, baseball season starting, and the Masters - this is my favourite time of year for sports by far.

Can't feed them, fine. Watch em? Fine....will they entertain us? Will one lucky volunteer from the audience be allowed to stick their head in their mouths?

If this isn't EMHE - can you imagine someone that's more like him than he is?

I'm a big fan of Nskie, and looking forward to his return. Three gulag things: 1) What does Matt Young 3/26 mean? 1a) I don't get the hate for Matt. 2) Why is Czech's post count now 29? 3) Why couldn't I post these questions in the gulag? It said I was 'no longer' allowed. No longer?

Also,is rewarded the right word? I don't think so.

But are you forty!?

I don't have a problem with that. They did lose an awful lot over the summer, and still have been up in the top of the conference all season. I thought that initially too, but he must have done something right given the cold start by the Caps. I don't know if Mike Green would have 17 goals anywhere else. Edit: Dustin Byfuglien's 18 goals probably negates my Green argument.

Nominees: - Babcock - Carbonneau - Wilson Add MacT, Boudreau, and Julien to the mix depending on who gets in. All six of those are awfully legitimate contenders.

Some sort of unchangable avatar or signature. Anyone remember KKK's ribbon when he won the Schiavo death pool?

I would never spell favourite without the 'u'. Edit: I wonder if that's a pick-up line at Canadian chapters of Mensa.

Though I knew most of that (from research and here), it's still appreciated. From what I've seen, property tax would be about 80 a month, and I've got a separate budget for all my insurance - appliances/furniture I'm going to save up for instead of the cashback mortgage(the lowest rate I'd seen was 7.5%...too much). I've compared several mortgage rates from a variety of places and seen considerable savings here and there. Jist of it - I'm not starting a family, so a bungalow with basement or small two-storey is fine, but with one or two spare rooms just in case. I didn't see any cheaper interest rates when done bi-weekly, but it did open my eyes to having things paid off in 31 years instead of 40. The realtor advice and vinyl siding are things I wouldn't have thought of.

Pshaw. Consumers are still in the dark on which way to go between LCD and plasma. Add a third technology into the mix? Good luck. Introduction into the mainstream? Sure. Success competing with the other two formats? Maybe. "Days are numbered?" Yeah right.
