CBC, Ron MacLean fail to reach deal.

Well, the other thing R. MacLean does is treat every amateur sporting event and athlete with equivalent respect, including disabled athletes.

Stuck in Second

The same Hugo Lindgren who used to work at Metropolis lo those many years ago? The child prodigy? Wow. I guess we finally have a proper writer working in the sports field. Where is Howard Z.

Amateur wrestling now has video replay, too. (I am sure a few gentlemen in the audience would pay good money for the tapes. Imagine the resale value on eBay.)
