You have to feel for Steve Yzerman and Co. He’s assembled what he thinks is the best 23-man roster that Canada has to offer. Win gold and he’ll be hailed a messiah, anything less than gold in Vancouver and every pick will be analyzed and over-analyzed, including the selection of Yzerman [...]

You see them everywhere. The frosted tips, orange tans, and $500 Italian jeans (not to mention the ever present abundance of Ed Hardy). These men are commonly referred to as ‘douchebags.’ They’re at your gym, in your salon, possibly even staring back at you in the mirror, and up until now, few have [...]

The female DJ was at one time something as weird and mysterious as a unicorn, or a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It warranted a second look to see a female rocking out behind the deck beside her male counterpart.
