Short Shots From An April Fool by Jack Matheson
Commentary on sports media bias and Canadian athletics. The piece jokes about TV coverage of black and white players, the Blue Bomber slogan Putting on the Hits, potential CCA president Stanley Oleson, CJOB sports scheduling, baseball box scores in March, NHL player knowledge gaps, Muffin Spencer-Devlin Baker-Finch, U of M recruiting irregularities, NHLPA media stance, Rothman sponsorships in curling, Doug Flutie’s contract move, and Larry Ryckman’s mockery. It questions fan familiarity with Road to the Final Four and Tom Burgess’s pay, ends midstream with Rosenborough remark.
