That's just about enough out of you. You'll be ice fishing at least a month before us too, ya know?

I like football. I watch CFL, NFL, CIS, NCAA. I even try to get out and watch some local high school games every fall.

"The cause of the fire appears to be careless smoking," said Staff Sgt. Steve Wilson with the South Simcoe police marine unit. Charges aren't anticipated, he added. The 36-foot fibreglass Trojan burned for two hours before finally sinking in 32 feet of water north of Keswick, Tuesday evening. Two men safely waded to shore after jumping overboard to escape the flames. South Simcoe police Staff Sgt. Lisa Hunt said the boat's owner is a resident of Terra Cotta, located north of Brampton, while his passenger was from Innisfil. A salvage company will have to be hired to remove the burned boat from Lake Simcoe, if it's raised at all. "It is not a hazard in any way," Wilson said of the potential marine obstacle. The 34-year-old boat, valued at more than $80,000, also doesn't appear to be causing any negative environmental effects. "Our officers went out the following day during daylight hours and there are not any fluids leaking from the boat," Wilson said. "We need to make sure there is no oil or left left on the boat that could create an environmental risk. "Since we are satisfied that the boat is not a navigational hazard or environmental risk, the choice to remove it or not is up to the owner's insurance company," he added. South Simcoe police were called to Lefroy Harbour Resort around 5 p.m., Tuesday. Police say the two men tried to beach the vessel when flames started shooting from the cabin before jumping into the water wearing life-jackets. Paramedics treated both men for minor hypothermia, but they did not require hospitalization. Innisfil Deputy Fire Chief Jim Ferry said firefighters simply couldn't reach the burning boat. "It was well out from shore and we have no means, as a fire department, to reach a fire that far out," said Ferry, adding the Innisfil fire department has an ice-water rescue vessel, but nothing that could have fought this blaze effectively. Marine units from the South Simcoe and York Regional police departments also arrived to find the fiery, unmanned boat. Officers tried unsuccessfully to douse the flames using a fire hose on board York Region's 34-foot Waawaatessi police boat. The boat, engulfed in flames, floated across Cook's Bay towards Roaches Point before finally sinking around 7 p.m

The player hasn't been fined, the team was. The player will lose 6/82s of his salary. Player fines are caped by the CBA, I don't know how much the max is but it's a lot less than 6/82. If he makes $500 000, that's about $37 000. He may have some legal fees that may make that look like peanuts.

I thought that was the point I was making.

Haven't got a clue what you mean.

"Aluminum" (the high end ones aren't aluminum anymore) bats do have larger sweet spots, and can be much lighter than wood for a given length. It's all about bat speed and ball speed. The juveniles will love that. I find it hard to believe that they can: shoot a bullet at point blank range, find it right in the area that they shot it, and it is not distorted. There is a lot of kinetic energy missing.

No. Nope. Not a chance.

Remember Rob Roy and the Sabres beating on the Nordiques fan? Milbury in the MSG stands?

Bats were corked to make them lighter, without loosing size. Oh ya, I don't buy the video.

Talk about a loss leader!

Two men jumped overboard and no one was injured. INNISFIL — A 36-foot boat burned for two hours on Lake Simcoe before it finally sank, Tuesday evening. Two men safely waded to shore after jumping overboard. South Simcoe police were called to Lefroy Harbour Resort around 5 p.m. Police say the operator and a passenger tried to beach the 36-foot Trojan when flames started shooting out of the cabin. They then jumped into the water wearing life-jackets. Innisfil firefighters and county paramedics arrived on the scene. Both men were treated for minor hypothermia, but did not require hospitalization. Marine units from the South Simcoe and York Regional police departments also arrived on scene to find the fiery boat with no one on board. Officers tried unsuccessfully to douse the flames using a fire hose onboard York Region's 34-foot Waawaatessi police boat. The boat, engulfed in flames, floated across Cook's Bay towards Roaches Point in Georgina before finally sinking around 7 p.m. The investigation continues.

The game was in St. Paul Minnesota. The fan was not ejected. The home arena staff MOVED the home fan to another seat right against the glass.

He did squirt the guy, then the guy pushed on the glass and it broke, causing him to fall into the penelty box. The linesman came into the box and the fan was never hit by TD. Not suggesting one is right and one is wrong, the incidents are just not comparable. BTW the game was in St. Paul not Van.

I had lurked on another board (at the time I didn't know there was a name for it) and when I tried to join the other site I couldn't. So I searched for another FISHING site and found this one. I didn't really lurk, just joined and started takin' cheap shots at terry (see above). I've fished with a few of the members here and met a bunch more at various gatherings, even shared some 'Bama moonshine with someone in a skunk hat. I stick around because I don't fish as much as I'd like (who doesn't say that?) and I like seeing how others are doing... fishing wise. The other reality is that this collective of people from vast backgrounds and areas of expertise is very useful if I have a question regarding just about any topic. Thank you.

I'm sure someone would show you terry if that's all it takes.

The obvious answer is: I am not done edumacating the masses. I'll go and read the other posts now, and post a more serious answer later.

I'll all but guarantee that he was. Those $10 beers sure taste good.

I'd like to see him get those dumb yanke fans who interfered with the game last night. Players can't touch fans. Players can't touch fans, no matter how frigin' dumb we are, however sports teams need to do a lot more to keep their fans from having contact with visiting teams... see last nights baseball game for exhibit #1. Bet you that wild fan needed to buy new drawers.

So your neighbour didn't have a spotter whilst dragging a boarder?

Hotwire might be an option to look at.

Maybe not Roy, there are about 40 cannons all pointing at the harbour. I guess someone figured that is where an attack would come from. Heading home tonight, I'll post a few photos soon.

Took a trip east today. Anybody fishing? A couple of photos from the old town. I thought this was funny.

Can you get a quote for a mount in millimetres???

Your camera better be ready the first time. I'd love a chance to do that... my camera bag does have room for a spare pair of shorts.
