Just had to throw this in somewhere to show that the U.S. media aren't the only ones who focus on their own nation at the expense of all others: At an intermission of a hockey game tonight, the CBC had a briefs sports update. First, a Canadian cyclist tossed out of the world championships. Then, a Canadian crashing in the cycling championships. Then the Women's World Cup, with one action highlight ... Sinclair's goal. Then a Kids in the Hall sketch, followed by a Rush video. (OK, I'm making that up.) CBC is great television, though.
Someone brought me a copy of a Bermudian newspaper a couple of months back. One of the lead sports items was speculation on Shawn Goater's prospects for moving between one lower-division English team and another. He may not be much, but he's their best.
