I have seen evidence that the Chinese government is retaliating for the American viral attack three years ago that came to be known as SARS.
Right here in our very own city of Toronto, there is evidence that people have been afflicted by some mind-numbing, emotion-altering pathogen.
How else to explain the annual support for the Toronto Maple Leafs crawl to the bottom of the Eastern Conference playoff eligibility list.
There is no way any sane person could possibly look at this current collection of has-beens, (I'm talking to you Mats), never-weres (Travis Green, Yanic Perrault come on down!!) and never-will-be's, (Now entering the stadium...Nik Antropov, and Alex Ponikarovsky!!).
I can't take anymore honking horns.
I want the chants - the ever encouraging 'Go Leafs Go!!' to die stillborn in the throats of the deluded.
And the good luck Jerseys being worn in offices around the city need to stop.
(And if you are over 16 and you truly believe that wearing that faded 'Clark 17' jersey is really going to help this collection of pampered millionaires find the gumption to make a run at the Cup, well, then I have some beach front property I need to sell you in the Lower James Bay area.)
If certain facts haven't made themselves clear by now, then let me help you out.
When the stench is this bad for this long where do you point to? Who is the 'leader' of this team?
Ah, there's the rub.
This team is lead by the most overpaid 'Captain' in sports history. Let's call Mats Sundin's time for what it is. A Failure.
To credit him with trying during his shifts is not enough. He needs to make smarter decisions. He has never done well as the go-to guy, but he sells jerseys and in this town, that is just as good.
He is the highest paid Leaf in History, and one of the highest paid hockey players in history. He has little or no NHL success to show for all that cash.
To paraphrase prescient street prophets N.W.A; He ain't the one.

I would trade Mats Sundin straight up for the ghost of Bill Barilko...
Hater! I think that Yashin might be the most over paid Captain in hockey. Your team has an over paid and underproducing Fin at the helm (Koivu). Don't blame Sundin for poor General Manager decisions.
Are you talking about the Finn who worked his way back from cancer to play in the playoffs a few years ago?
The Finn who just scored the only two goals in a crucial victory over the Bruins two nights ago?
And the same Finn is not getting paid anywhere NEAR what Mats is getting.
Mats needs to take his act somewhere else...
