It’s Monday, and that means a new episode of 15 Minutes of Fame.
This week, our heroes discuss the Edmonton Eskimos and their big win over the BC Lions and what this means for their still-alive playoff hopes.
They also discuss Gilbert Arenas of the NBA’s Washington Wizards and his fake-injury-turning-into-a-real-injury saga.
The Oilers are also on tap this week as usual – will the backup goaltenders ever play? Find out.
Lastly, watch Jim well up with tears as we say a fond farewell to the Commonwealth Games in Dehli, India.

In a recent interview for this quarter’s Prospect Magazine, I had a chance to interview Monique Sullivan, a cyclist and newly minted medal winner at the Commonwealth Games in Dehli, India. This week Sullivan earned a bronze medal in the women’s team sprint event and I figured this is as good a time as any to celebrate that by posting the video of our interview.
Read the Montreal Gazette article and then watch the interview, then go pick up the most recent issue of Prospect Magazine and read the profile on Sullivan inside.

Two Canadian archers pulled out of the Commonwealth Games today because of health and safety concerns.
According to TSN, Dietmar Trillus of King City, Ontario and Kevin Tataryn of Stonewall, Manitoba won’t be representing Canada at New Delhi.
Why blame them? There are concerns of appalling conditions in the athletes’ village and athletes have been asked to delay their trips until the village has been deemed safe.
With these concerns, in addition to the high pollution rate in India, the Commonwealth Games won’t have the same sense of positive energy as previous international sports competitions.
Bottom line, that’s too bad, because with the Summer Olympic Games in London, England only two years away, athletes won’t necessarily be able to correctly judge where they currently stand on the international stage because of the issues surrounding these Games.
