Scott Broderick will be joining me by phone around 8 30 a.m. to talk about his company's billboard and web campaign http://thisaintflint.ca/. Iffen you are in Ottawa you have seen the posters and billboards, now, wtf is all about?

78...See You Josh Wright
Sad news, sad but not startling news to the WFDS, from the U of Zero today; Josh Wright, the former top 50 high school star out of Utica, New York, has decided to leave the Gee Gee's basketball program to pursue a pro career in, well, I guess, Europe.
Shades of Omar Cook. And Lenny Cooke. And Donte Green. And. And.
Mr. Wright ran the point at Syracuse, the Orange being a perennial top 25 team in the NCAA, but he didn't run it to perfection and ipso et facto got quit from the team in the middle of last last season.
This last season Coach David DeAveiro at the University of Ottawa brought Mr. Wright, after Josh sat out the requisite year as a transfer, into the Gee Gee's fold and, although, in my opinion [and me and the loverly Vicky P saw him play about five or six times in person and on the tube] he did not seem super comfortable with the team and the rotation, he did average around 17 points a game in the 12 he played.
I sincerely believe two things. First, I believe if Mr. Wright had of played in 2009/2010 and Coach D let him run the show, I believe Mr. Wright would have been the best guard in the country, with Oscar Robertson like numbers. Secondly, I believe that if Mr. Wright had of been the CIS superstar that, barring injury, he would have been, his stock in Europa would have went up exponentially.
As it stands now, he is just another top 50 player who woulda, who coulda and who shoulda been All Something or Another.
Sans degree.

75...Always Wear A Condom
Travis Henry.
If you are an NFL fan, you probably know the name; he was a Pro Bowl running back out Florida who played college for Tennessee and was a second round draft choice in 2001.
His hobby was making babies.
Lots of them.
He made Sean Kemp look like Pope Benedict in that department.
Rough numbers, 11 [eleven] kids from 12 [twelve] women. Or may be it is 12 from 11, gets a bit fuzzy when you hit the double digits.
Amazingly, although he made serious bank as an NFL star, he has fallen a bit behind on his child support, resulting in jail time, garnishments and a career change.
The career change is what got Mr. Henry in today's Ottawa Sun. After getting released from his 22.5 million contract [as per usual, nothing in the NFL is guaranteed] with the Denver Broncos last summer, Mr. Henry decided to sell cocaine and marijuana.
He was an All American running back; obviously did not have too much trouble with the ladies but; selling coke and pot, not so successful.
Subsequent to his arrest last October, Mr. Henry made a plea agreement Tuesday that comprises of a mandatory 10-year sentence along with approximately $4 million dollars in fines.
Always wear a condom.

72...The End Days Are Near
Subtitle: Syracuse University Orange wins another National Championship.
This time it is in an individual sport, the sport being Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Ripped from the pages of today's Daily Orange, SU sophmore Jonathan Monaco was named the first USA Rock Paper Scissors League collegiate champion on an outdoor stage in Panama City Beach, Fla., last month. The event MTVU's Spring Break coverage which means that you could probably find it on YouTube or the MTVU site.
Dude won 20,000.00 dollars.
The best part of the story was the quote from Mr. Monaco's dad, Sabie Monaco "When you play basketball, you get paid. He got paid for playing a sport."
A sport.
The end days are near.

71...If A TV Show Sucks
It sucks.
But if it doesn't and people still won't watch it, what do you do?
Case in point, Wild Roses, CBC TV's newish Dallas esque drama.
Apparently it is for the high jump.
A parallel of sorts to the highly regarded and lowly rated NBC series Friday Night Lights except for one little thing.
FNL, the lowest rated network show in the history of TV to ever be renewed has been renewed for two years.
Two years.
Wild Roses is for the high jump.
Qu'est que c'est the difference?
The folks at NBC colour outside the lines, less group think.
CBC, and God bless them they used to direct deposit to my chequing account, doesn't colour outside the lines.
Two things that saved FNL were product placement, specifically Applebee's, a continent wide restaurant chain, which is interspersed throughout all of season three's episodes, and a deal with DirectTV that gave DirectTV first [and second and third] run of the third year of FNL months before NBC got to run the program driving avid fans from over the air and cable to DirectTV.
Win,
Win.
And.
Win.
CBC doesn't seem prepared to do that to save Wild Roses.
But there is a petition and a call for letters to the editor.
Like, doh.

68...Canwest [Global] Shares Now 2Bits
Warren Kinsella reports such on his blog and the fact is I can see the numbers going even lower.
In my view the problem with Global [and CTV and CBC] is, unlike the United States nets, they are greedy bastards who want to own all the stations and all the product and all and all and all. A little less greedy would equal a lot more money. Global in Ontario could easily split into a dozen or so viable TV stations which, if operated under the Global brand, would be viable.
As it is now Global in Ontario is the Toronto station repeated all over the province; with a tad of vision one could open a Global station in all the big markets in Ontario: Ottawa, Kitchener, London, Windsor, Sudbury, Niagara, Kingston etcetera without a ton of cost [the sticks are already up in those towns and all one would need would be studios and talent] and then spin off those stations with long term affiliate contracts and, poof, ownership may not be vertical and horizontal but it will be viable.
Don't see it happening but y'never know.

65...Weight problems, I have no weight problems
Thankful for that, I am.
What I do have is a height issue.
I should be 6 feet 6 inches [for those of you on the metric system, that is very, very, very tall].
I am 5 feet 9 inches.
I am giving myself until Labour Day to reach my goal of 6'6".
I didn't get short overnight; I am not going to get tall overnight.
I was reading the Michael Deacon's column in yesterday's Telegram, a London, England newspaper, that the National Health are spending three times as much money on obesity now as they did at the mid point of the decade. He also points out that calling it an epidemic is stupid and that experts have assured him that a proper diet and exercise will cure obesity. As one who is undertall, I fully understand and certainly agree that the biggest cure for obesity would be for one and all to simply push away from the table, now.
Not an epidemic in the style of Polio or Malaria, still, obesity is rampant, especially among kiddies and those of us with less money. This is probably the first time in history that the poor have higher Body Mass Index's than the rich.
Food for thought.

Or, maybe, Spartans.
Haven't made up my mind but trust me I will be in front of the Sylvania this evening, tuned to CBS for the Men's NCAA Basketball final live from Ford Field in Detroit.
These two teams met in the same stadium earlier in the season and the number one North Carolina Tar Heels beat the Michigan State Spartans like a rented mule, 98-63.
The game should be a bit tighter than that; the line is around seven or eight points, depending on where you shop.

It is always exciting to be on air and tomorrow is no different.
I will be joined by Courtney Ott, who is the 211 Communications and Liaison Officer with the Community Information Centre of Ottawa.

55...Apparently Brian Mulroney
Is a bad guy and the Conservatives want you to know that he was a Progressive Conservative which, of course, is totally different than a Conservative. Different, you know, in the way that beige and eggshell are different colours.
Just keeping you in the loop.

54...End of an Era
On the day that the longest running night time soap opera in TV history, ER, packs it in, Variety reported that the oldest soap of them all, Guiding Light, is toute toute tootsie good bye on September 18, 2009.
The show has been on CBS since the year I was born, 1937, and has been on CBS TV since 1952.
Soap operas got the title "soap opera" because back in the day they were owned by soap companies; GL is no different, in fact it is produced to this day by Proctor and Gamble who has said that they are not going to give up on the series and are exploring other options, including cable networks (a move similar to the one employed by the producers of Passions when the show was canceled by NBC) and Internet broadcasts.

53...OC Transpo Report
My friend KayCee sends me this update on OC Transpo:
"So, I'm on the 85 right now. I only ever take this bus to get to the cinema. And it's cracking me up. There are some serious crackwhores on here. At least they're twitchy and wearing hooker clorthes [sic]. And the smell... Oh, the smell. It's like taking the 2.And this bus doesn't even go to hintonburg[sic] "
That's a lot of entertainment for three dollars!!!
