Reebok just pulled an ad after a HUGE backlash from bitter people!  Their campaign said that people should “Cheat on their girlfriends NOT on their workouts”.

Personally I think it was just a play on some words for impact…hey it got people talking!  But seriously, does this offend you?

I know in my house, and even here at work we have specific rules we follow for shotgun.  My favorite trick to pull is to run towards the car screaming “I WANT THE BACK SEAT” the chances of someone not really hearing you and start yelling “NO I WANT IT!” are VERY high….in which you respond – “Ok you can have the back seat if you want, Ill take the front”.  No lies…this has worked for me MANY times!

In fact…everytime I visit home, I do this to my sisters and it never fails (or they never learn…in which case, they dont deserve it anyway in spite and for being dumb).

Our rules are often different at work too…If there are 2 guys and a girl…generally you should let the girl have shot gun (at least thats what I as the girl think).  Or whoever runs outta the building and gets in the car first…but this sometimes leads to pissy moods!  I know I know…there arel more important things in life than who sits up front…but hey, we cant help it!

And I know there are rules like…if a couple is picking you up in their car, one of them should automatically get shot gun since it IS their car….but screw it!  Its on the internet and that means its legit!  Here are the OFFICIAL SHOT GUN RULES!

Happy Shot Gun Stealing!

It’s taken a while to get this one up…mostly because Ive been recovering from the run. Last week, I was lucky enough to take a trip down the bob sleigh run at Canada Olympic Park!

This is something thats def not for the faint at heart…
In fact, I think if you ask Boomer, he may never do it again…I on the other hand would go again and again!
It was probably the most intense thing I have ever done!  You fly down the run at about 5Gs, 120km/hour for 1500m…now this isnt like doing 120 in your car on highway 2…this is the tiniest, thinnest piece of metal Ive ever seen!  You’re neck and head get shook around a bit (in fact we both had headaches in the evening) but its something that words cant even explain!  You get to the bottom…and you actually have to sit there and comprehend what your body just went through! 

Seriously though…if you enjoy a good thrill…this is something thats right in our backyard!! DO IT!!!!

Check em out here!

PS – oh and if you feel like bugging Boomer…his sleigh came in second to mine…the girl sled with a GIRL driver!

So to all you fit peeps out there….any tips to a gal tryin to get her @ss in gear???

An ENTIRE site of people willing to do things for $5!  Now dont get any ideas here…step outta that gutter!  These are things like “break up with your girlfriend in a video for you”, “sing you a song from my bubble bath”, “get my dog to hold a sign for you”, “send you an authentic ransom note” and so MANY MANY other things!!

Better yet…you can make money too by selling your “things you’ll do for $5″!
So what would you do!?  Dance in your jersey?  Draw a picture in crayons?  The ideas are endless!

CHECK IT OUT!

This year, Im just resolving to just enjoy life!  Im not worried if I miss a day at the gym…or if I “accidentaly” go through the McDs drive thru…Im just gonna enjoy every day as it comes!  Why be miserable and skip wing night with your friends just cuz you “wanna get fit”.  One night out isnt gonna kill you…and the benefits of laughs with some good friends outweigh the cons of a few deepfried wings!  Go out and enjoy and make up for it the next day!

I learned in 2011 that life can change in and instant…so why not sit back, enjoy and live every moment to the fullest!

Happy New Year!

Here we go!

First…do NOT get her anything that could double as something that becomes work – things like a vaccuum…
Unless you are shelling out for the $1100 Dyson…get that off your list!

Also, dont get her things you “think” she’ll like cuz you like them…the new game for the PS3? A brand new flat screen?  Ahhhh no! 

If she says something she REALLY wants (and says it more than once) dont argue…just get it! Even if you think its rediculous!  I once asked for tires for Christmas – it may seem like something stupid to give someone for Christmas, but I REALLY needed them….and was WAY more happy getting those as a gift than a buncha little things that just take up space! Plus that left me with extra cash to spend on gifts…you know…like the things on YOUR list!

Speaking of space…things that clutter your house  – SKIP’EM!  Let her pick the decorations and stuff…and ditch the stuffed animals, holiday doo-dads and such!

Gift Cards…these can be tricky!  A gift card in an amount that she can actually go in and get something?  ACCEPTABLE!
A $25 gift card where she then has to shell out $75 of her money to pick something…not good! Also, IF you are getting her gift cards…make sure they are her FAVE stores…or at least places she actually shops.  BIG waste if she’s never gonna go there!  Oh…and you better make sure along with that GC…she has an actual gift to open on Xmas morn!

Lingerie…this one…unless you are REALLY REALLY REALLY sure of her size and what she likes AVOID!  You’ll likely end up making her feel bad!  You pick too big…you think shes “fat”.  You pick too small…she then feels bad about herself!  Plus…this kinda stuff is non-refunable or non-exchanable…so avoid!

These are things you can pretty much guarantee will keep you outta the dog house:

- Mani & Pedi at her fave place to go (I often get bribed with these to get outta the house when a full day of football is on…they never fail)!

- Dig through her perfume…does she have a fave?  It’s likely the one thats almost empty…get that!

- Plan a vacay…this doesnt have to be somewhere exotic…we’re so close to the mountains…book a nice lil getaway!

- If you know her salon…get her a cut and color.  Dont do this unless you are sure where she goes…us gals are weird about this kinda stuff and wont just go to some random!  And dont be shocked when the girl at the counter says its a couple hundred dollars…a far cry from the $30 guys can get away with!

- Massages – you can never go wrong with something that lets your girl relax and pamper herself! Just make sure its a legit place and not sketch city! 

- Find something you know she loves from her fave store and stick with it.  I know you’re thinking “she doesnt need ANOTHER pair of lululemon pants” or “another designer purse” cuz she has 10 already.  There is a REASON she has that many! She loves them! You guaranteed cant go wrong!!

- Jewellery! Keep it simple with some earings, or a bracelet, or necklace…there is a Tiffany’s in Calgary now!  Pick somthing from there…dont worry…they have stuff in every guys price range – you dont have to spend thousands to get her the bracelet she wants (cuz all her other girlfriends have it)! Plus we love that little blue box…no matter whats in it!

Hope that helps!!! Good luck guys!

Its quite a pricy lil investment…and is up from last year.  So, if you wanna send someone all of the gifts for the 12 days…here’s what you’re looking at (but hey…calling birds are down from last year…so thats good!):

It’s this time of year where EVERYONE wants us to donate to their cause…but for real – this is a good one!

Here at Sportsnet were all big supporters of KidSport (we were live from their kick-off this morn…damn the food at the Palliser is killer!)!  If you dont know what or who they are…the quick story is – They help families that cant afford it get their kids in sports!  Sometimes its registration fees, or even their cleats or skates.  And if you have played sports or have kids that do, you KNOW how much that changes their lives!

Now…if youre like me you feel that making a large donation this time of year is a little tight.  But what if I told ya you could simply donate $5! I mean, really, whats $5?  We spend more than that on the holiday drinks from Starbucks!  Even better…all you have to do is text it and it shows up on your phone bill (which isnt gonna show up til January anyway)!

So here’s the deal…text the word PLAY to 45678 and its an instant $5 donation that goes straight to Kidsport!  And who couldnt use a lil extra good karma this year!
