Dynamite piece! 

The TorStar’s Rosie DiManno is a girl stuck in a dude’s world.
A terminally bright and wonderfully talented columnist, she cut her teeth in sports and has moved forward to produce eye-popping correspondence from some of the world’s hot spots.
Her reportage from the gawker backdrop of the Afghanistan elections was gutsy, edgy and raw.
I like Rosie. She’s a formidable talent.
I have always been drawn to her sports writing, simply because she’s a stretched envelope in a twitter-cheep, dumb-downed world.
Cantankerous when she needs to be. Seldom reclusive with her opinions.
No surprise then that she was front and center in the Star’s coverage of the induction of the first women – Angela James and Cammi Granato - to the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday (Nov 8) night.
That Rosie was a bit less than genteel or politically correct in her assessment of the landmark event was de rigueur.
“The first woman to have her name engraved on a Stanley Cup was Marguerite Norris” writes DiManno. “The year was 1954 and her Detroit Red Wings had just won the NHL championship. Ditto the next year.”
Norris was the eldest daughter of deceased owner James Norris and oversaw the Wings until a palace coup removed her.
“If any female deserves recognition by the Hockey Hall of Fame — and I’m not convinced that moment has arrived, despite Monday night’s induction of (James and Granato) as estrogen trailblazers enshrined in the Yonge St. tabernacle — it should probably have been Marguerite in some builder or executive category,” says DiManno.

Batshit post O'Da'Day - From Ireland - Time Travelin' in Chaplin Movie

DOC director finds time-travelling dude in drag talking on a cell phone in a crowd scene in an old Chaplin movie ... this is a bizarre sequence which has no apparent explanation ...
By Terrance Gavan - PTE managing Editor
Occasionally we stray.
Pardon the Eruption is a sports site, but the Managing Editor Terrance Gavan is a bon vivant, techno junkie and political pundit of the lowest variety.
So occasionally we come upon a post that captures our imagination.
Read or watch on MacDuffs and mac Duffettes ...
It is posted below from You Tube and Ireland ... posted because check out the full mane (sic - also apparently dyslexic) NAME of the PTE managing efitor.
He's a sucker for the wee Irish lilt .... oh and PARDON MY EEEEEEERRRRRRUUUUPTION!
Love the Gav

Crazy as Batshit post of the day

Crazy as batshit color commentator 
Dave Lamont unleashes umbrage - to an unabridged and unlikely full-blown apoplectic shitstorm. Listen especially near the end where he spews all over the other guys in the press box.
 And challenges them to a fight.
 No cheering in the press box? C'mon ya'Pussies.
Hilarious




Lovely just freaking lovely

Kerry Fraser looks a bit concussed here. How many fingers?
Kerry was used to looking at one particular finger in 30
years as an NHL ref. Three blind mice not his fave tune!

By Terrance Gavan - PTE Concussion Expert
While former NHL referee Kerry Fraser was in Rochester, Minnesota testifying at the Mayo Clinic symposium on concussions in hockey, a number of professional football players were butt-ended with some hefty fines courtesy of  ballsy Commish of the NFL Roger Goodell.
Goodell, recognizing the need for some prompt action vis-a-vis helmet to helmet contact in the concussive front lines of the Sunday killing fields warned that if players don't get the hint,  the rank and file will start seeing suspensions without pay.
That presents a double whammy  - with a built in fine on top of withdrawal of service - that could amount to $175,000 in salary lost for some of the higher paid, high profile NFL defensive players. Several NFL defensive noodle-knockers were fined from $50,000 to $75,000 last week.
All that in a presumed response to a devastating helmet first hit by Rutger University's Eric LeGrand last Saturday. The junior defensive tackle is paralyzed from the neck down. His condition has not changed since he was injured making a tackle on a kickoff return against Army on Oct. 16.
Thus Fraser's message is timely and reprinted here from my column in the County Voice.

Former NHL referee Kerry Fraser was in Rochester, Minnesota last week, puking all over the National Hockey League and its penchant for delusionary claptrap and schizophrenic penny-ante rhetoric regarding hits to the head.

Euthanasia

By John Sinclair - Die Hard correspondent PTE
Dateline: Winnipeg - AKA Gomorrah (sic)
Recent events have prompted me to favour the members opposite's position on euthanasia. 
Please put the CFL regular season to rest for the Bombers. 
The only spark of life left in this entire stadium is the pool being developed on who might sub-in at QB should Joey Elliott suffer an upper-body injury and join Gyles and Brink in the sick ward.
Man, if it ain't drought it's rain!
