If anything should come out of last week's world hockey summit in Toronto, it's that women hockey players need a professional league of their own. The four-day get-together turned out to be little more than a high-priced, over-sponsored exercise in navel-gazing. But the issue of disparity in women's hockey is real.

The truth is, it doesn’t matter if Roger Clemens is found guilty of lying to Congress. It would merely serve as the eulogy for a legacy that’s long dead. In the court of public opinion, Clemens has been guilty since his name appeared in the Mitchell Report in 2008.

As sports fans, we should be overjoyed with this weekend’s launch of Rogers Sportsnet One. More games, more action, more events, right? Au contraire. Instead, it’s everything you used to get on the basic cable Sportsnet, all for a few extra dollars a month.

And while you could drink a Dr. Pepper at the Kentucky Derby, it's really not appropriate to drink anything other than a mint julep.

There are six owners in the baseball Hall of Fame. It’s time to add a seventh: George Michael Steinbrenner III.

LeBron James's one-hour TV special gave ESPN its highest ratings of a non-NFL program this year. So let's open the floodgates and make athlete's announcements regular TV fodder. TSN hs taken to showing movies in order to fill its daily lineup, so why not?

Argentine coach Diego Maradona, known more for his bizarre antics than his coaching, was sent home defeated after a humbling 4-0 thumping at the hands of the Germans. Not since 1974 had Argentina given up four goals in a game in the World Cup finals.
