Interesting. Ontario is home to the nation's most populous city, Toronto,[7] and the nation's capital, Ottawa.

Sports: Saints Head Coach Payton suspended 1 year for 'bounties'

Wow. That's a big penalty. Head coach suspended for a year, assistant head coach indefinitely, $500K, and TWO draft picks. Eff man.

Sports: Tebow to Jets for two draft picks

This is what I was waiting to see. Now, my Dad will be 'Tebow'ing. At least, one would assume.

Sports: MLB expands playoffs to 10 by adding two more wildcards

Awesome! Now the AL East can get THREE teams in the playoffs instead of just two :-)

In 8 of the last 10 years, the wild card team has been from the AL East. The Yankees, Boston and Tampa Bay have held two of the playoffs spots 18 times in the last ten years. Having a second wild card team would have meant 4 more AL East teams, 2 more AL Central teams, and 3 more AL West teams, with one more going to a playoff game between the AL Central and the AL West. In NONE of those instances would the 2nd Wild Card team been the Twins or the Blue Jays. But it MIGHT be sometime...

Also, out of the last ten years, if there was a 2nd Wild Card team, only three times would both wild card teams come from the same division. 2011 and 2011 would see two AL East wild card teams, and 2006 would have seen two AL Central wild cards. Interesting stuff. Clearly more beneficial for the AL East. Which is good news for the Blue Jays....if they can ever beat the Yankees, Red Sox, AND Tampa Bay in the same season...not an easy feat.
