Who Am I?:
During the day im just a boring engineering Technologist in the lift industry but it does have its ups and down….. After 5 you all know me I’m the armchair Quarterback, General Manager and Coach all rolled into one! I don’t think I am always right because in my mind I always am. Actually I am just an ordinary guy living in Toronto one of the sports centres in North America and since I have a desk job I get to spend countless hours on the internet and you know what that leads to????? No Not that! I get to research the wonderful world of sports and just like anyone who reads something on the internet they become experts right? How many doctors do we now have diagnosing family members because of the invention of Web MD? My point exactly!
Fav Sport and Reason:
I am a lover of all competition but my passion lies in Hockey with Tennis being a close second! The speed and skill of hockey just can’t be beat in my mind and the finesse and stamina of a tennis player is a great contrast when I don’t feel like watching a player take another’s head off.
Fav Team:
My favorite team would have to be the Detroit Red Wings. They are go so strategically sound and they run systematically like a well-oiled machine. If I ever get I coaching job I will just simply play tape from Redwings’ games and tell my team “play like them”
Sport I hate the most:
I know im going to offend many with this statement as fans claim over and over again that it’s the most popular sport in the world but I can’t stand soccer because I don’t get how a 1-0 game could be considered exciting and call me crazy but I though the sport of diving required judges and a swimming pool?
Darts/Billiards/Bowling:
I hate the sports off season because certain networks feel compelled to air these “games” such as bowling on a “sports” network. If your only job in life is to throw a bowling ball down a lane and you miss a strike in a tournament.. Unacceptable!! I also don’t consider it a sport when you can drink beer and eat french-fries during competition. Sorry darts, billiards and poker the same goes for you.
Athlete I most desire to meet:
My favorite athletes are Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods because of their heroic efforts both in and out of the sport. Tiger especially for his in and out, in and out, in and out well you get the picture. Lance for his amazing battle with his own disease and the help he provides other effected around the world gives me great hope.
If I could fight any athlete:
If I could fight any athlete I’m pretty sure it would be Andy Roddick not only because I hate him but he seems like kind of a pretty boy with his Lacoste wear and all so I’m pretty sure I could win. Well you now know a little about me so when you call me an idiot, asshole or even dead wrong you can feel like I’m one of your own!
Who Am I?:
9-5 Bullock, is a Development Manager for Coca-Cola Refreshments. The rest of the time, I am a 29 year old, beer drinking, wing eating, patriotic, Sports FANATIC. I am married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and during hockey/football and soccer season, I am also married to my big screen and recliner in my Man Cave.
Fav Sport and Reason:
To watch- Hockey. Because it’s fast paced, hard hitting, and pure Canadiana.
To play-Golf. Because it’s slow, low impact, and I can drink while playing. Plus, since I am terrible at it, I appreciate just how talented the pros truly are.
Fav Team:
The Montreal Canadiens. I was raised a Habs fan, and my first sports memory was Patrick Roy as a rookie lifting Lord Stanley. I know we are hated as a fan base, but it’s easy to hate the best.
Most hated Team:
Leafs. Top to Bottom. From ownership, management, players and most ( not all) of the fans. It’s like they feel entitled to something, that for decades, they haven’t proven they deserve.
Sport I hate the most:
At last look, this was a sports Website, so I can’t say I hate any sport. With that in mind, I do hate NASCAR. Last time I checked, driving wasn’t a sport. And correct me if I am wrong, but, if you don’t know how to make a right turn, would you even get your learners permit?
If I could fight any athlete:
A-Rod. Since the guy is such a bitch, I may actually have a chance at kicking his ass. However,to take a line from a Jon Favreau shirt, I’m a Drinker, Not a Fighter.
Darts/Billiards/Bowling:
100% no. Anytime you can crush a plate of Nachos and/or Wings DURING play, and still compete at a high, if not, pro level, It’s not a sport. Save the eating for the guys that watch and write about sports.
Athlete I most desire to meet:
There are so many, but, would have to be The Great One. To be able to talk the Glory Years in Edmonton, “The Trade”, the great run in 93, The high of the Gold Medal in Salt Lake, and the low of the way he was treated in Phoenix. It would be an honour to meet the greatest of all time. Plus if I can ask his wife on some gambling tips, always a bonus!
Ultimate Guys Sports Weekend:
Let make it a long weekend. Arrive in Chicago on Thursday Night. Hit the town, Chicago Style Pizza, and a few pubs. Chicago is also home to some great micro-breweries, so we have to give those a go. Friday, get up, and hit Cog Hill for a round of golf with the boys. After shooting about a 130, time to head to the United Centre and catch a Blackhawks/Red Wings night game. After the game, and perhaps a Vince Vaughan sighting, time to have a few more beers. Wake up Saturday just in time to head to Wrigley for a Cubs/White Sox game. Sitting behind the Ivy would be a must. After hopefully a close game, jump on the L, and hit the south side of Chicago for some food ( wings anyone). Night game at US Cellular to catch 2nd half of home and home double header between Cubbies and White Sox. One last night out after the game, followed by a flight in which we would be sleeping from take-off to landing. That’s a Guys Sports Weekend!
