6) Want an NHL trade to remember? On April 3, 2013, the Washington Capitals traded Filip Forsberg to Nashville for Martin Erat and Michael Latta. Forsberg might win the Calder Trophy. End of trade analysis.7) If Wally Buono and I had our way, the CFL would be a nine-team league that would send the two best teams to the Grey Cup. Yes, that might mean an end to the Grey Cup tradition of East vs. West. That might mean a Grey Cup in Vancouver featuring teams from Calgary and Edmonton. Who would have a problem with that? With Rogers Centre attendance figures in hand, Im waiting to hear that someone in Toronto would have a problem with that.8) After the first week of the NBA season, who stands out? Golden States Klay Thompson, thats who. He just might be worth the four-year, $70 million rookie contract extension that raised eyebrows when it made him the Warriors highest-paid player. You are reminded that Stephen Curry plays for the Warriors.9) As Ernie Banks would say "Lets play three". Do you wonder why NHL coaches routinely use two goalies when theyre faced with back-to-back games? Jason LaBarberas weekend would suggest its not necessary. LaBarbera played on Friday and Saturday for the AHLs Norfolk Admirals and was recalled by Anaheim to serve as John Gibsons backup on Sunday against Colorado. Gibson was hurt in the warmup. LaBarbera played his third game in three nights and the Ducks won 3-2.10) Wouldnt it be something if the Ottawa Redblacks one-point win over the Toronto Argos in the Redblacks first-ever home game should wind up costing the Argos a playoff spot? Thats possible, but this is definite--the Argos would be out if they managed to lose to Ottawa a second time in Ottawas last game of an otherwise awful first season.11) Okay to re-tweet this? "Hard to beat the Giants winning formula--get a lead and turn it over to the closer for the final 15 outs".12) Who saw this coming? Ben Roethlisberger has thrown 12 touchdown passes in his last two games. He had 10 in the Pittsburgh Steelers first seven games.13) And what do you make of this? The Montreal Canadiens are tied for first place in the NHL East and their opponents have outscored them 35-31.14) Remember when each and every NHL suspension was a big story? Now, they are routinely mentioned and generally ignored, seldom debated and simply taken for granted as part of what goes on in the NHL.15) I guess it makes sense that Paul Molitor is the manager of the Minnesota Twins--he was born there, got his 3,000th hit there, finished his career there and coached there. But wasnt it always a good idea that the MVP of the 1993 World Series and one of the Blue Jays most popular players, and people (though he only spent two years with them) manage in Toronto?16) Should Jon Cornish have played in a game that meant nothing in the standings to the Calgary Stampeders? It allowed him to record his third straight 1,000-yard season, but he left the game with another concussion. By the time they host the Western final, the Stampeders will have gone four weeks without playing a game that mattered, so its understandable that they need to stay sharp. More importantly, tho, Cornish needs to stay healthy.17) If this sort of thing appeals to you, ESPNs MLB Future Power Rankings puts the Toronto Blue Jays at #18 when assessing the chances for success of all 30 teams over the next five years. If thats depressing, consider that the outlook for the San Francisco Giants entering the 2014 season was worse--San Francisco was #19. #1 this time? Andrew Friedmans LA Dodgers.18) In NASCAR news, what could be worse than Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski getting out of their cars and fighting? Sure-- staying inside their cars and fighting.19) From this seasons daly returns, which was the best NHL free-agent signing? a) Ryan Miller by the Vancouver Canucks b) Jonas Hiller by the Calgary Flames c) Radim Vrbata by the Vancouver Canucks?20) If Mayor John Tory is serious about reducing Torontos traffic congestion, why doesnt he tell the Leafs to leave Stuart Percy with one team or the other?

The Arena das Dunas in the northeastern city of Natal sustained minor damage during the protests, but demonstrators stayed away on Sunday and officials said the stadium passed its first test, with only minor adjustments needed going forward.LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Joe LaCava walked nearly every blade of grass on the 18th green at Valhalla Golf Club, jotting notes in his yardage book after stepping off the distances from every edge of the green to every possible pin position. It was just like any other Monday at a major. The caddie just didnt know whether any of this information would be useful in the PGA Championship. LaCava was awaiting word on whether his boss -- Tiger Woods -- would be healthy enough to play the final major of the year. "Im optimistic," LaCava said after he finished charting the entire golf course. "Im hoping he plays. So Im just doing whatever work I would normally do." The caddie was at Valhalla. So was his car, a silver SUV parked in the spot assigned to the four-time PGA champion. As for Woods? Stay tuned. His agent, Mark Steinberg at Excel Sports Management, said in an email that Monday would be too early for doctors to decide whether Woods could or even should try to play this week after another back injury. The PGA of America said that Woods would not have his previously scheduled news conference Tuesday morning. It did not provide additional details. Woods took another turn toward an uncertain future when he withdrew after eight holes and one final shot Sunday at the Bridgestone Invitational. Before leaving Firestone, he said he jarred his back when he hopped into a deep bunker after playing a shot on the par-5 second hole from an awkward lie off the slope above the sand. "Its just the whole lower back," Woods said. "I dont know what happened." Making the picture look even bleaker was the timing. Woods had back surgery March 31 to alleviate the pain from a pinched nerve. The Bridgestone Invitational was only his third tournament since returning from a three-month absence. And there he went again, riding off the golf course in a cart, struggling to even remove his shoes before LaCava drove him to the airport for a flight back to Florida for evaluation. "Obviously, I feel bad for him," Rory McIlroy told the BBC on Monday. "The game of golf really needs Tiger. Hes had a few withdrawals the past couple of years. I think the first thing is just to get fit and 100 per cent healthy, even if that means taking the year off and coming back next year ready to play golf." If he doesnt play the PGA Championship, his season indeed would be over. Woods has to wwin the final major of the year to qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs.dddddddddddd He would have to win to clinch a spot on the Ryder Cup team. And by the sound of U.S. captain Tom Watson, he would have to play at Valhalla to even merit consideration as a wild-card selection. "Tiger would be a great addition to our team," Watson told SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio on Monday. "Ive said all along, I would pick Tiger Woods if hes healthy and playing well. This doesnt bode well right now. I just hope that maybe its just an isolated problem that he can turn around and possibly play this week at the PGA." Watson said he watched the entire front nine and knew something was wrong with Woods after his tee shot on the par-3 fifth hole came up 65 yards short. "You dont hit that terrible a shot ever -- ever," Watson said. "And I said, Something is wrong." LaCava noticed it much earlier, when Woods hit a shot so heavy that it came up 30 yards short of the flag and into the water on the third hole. "I knew he was hurting when he fatted the one on 3, which he never does," LaCava said. "He never fats them like that." Woods kept playing, though, until grimacing on a tee shot at the ninth, slowly bending to remove his tee and calling for a cart to take him in. Why not stop sooner? "Hes tough," LaCava said. "Tough and stubborn would be two good words." Woods has not been back to Valhalla in 14 years, not since that high-charged playoff victory over Bob May that gave Woods his third straight major on his way to an unprecedented sweep of the majors at the height of his game. Woods was recovering from season-ending knee surgery in 2008 and did not play in the Ryder Cup. The course has changed since, with Jack Nicklaus making various tweaks, especially around the green. The par is now 71 with the second hole changed to a par 4. Otherwise, it looked to be in immaculate conditions on the first day of practice. Phil Mickelson, coming off a 62 in the final round at Firestone, played nine holes. The practice range and chipping area were crowded with players. McIlroy already was back at work, having established himself as the overwhelming favourite coming off his wire-to-wire win at the British Open and rallying from three shots behind to win at Firestone. Still to be determined is whether Woods would be able to join them.
