Am I the only guy here without a moustache?

I don't have a moustache but I do have a column this week. I would rather write something stupid then wear that thing on my upper lip. Seeing a bunch of guys who don't normally grow that disgusting layer of hair just under the nose.

I don't have a moustache but I do have a column this week.

I would rather write something stupid then wear that thing on my upper lip.

Seeing a bunch of guys who don't normally grow that disgusting layer of hair just under the nose. I don't have anything against people doing what they want to do but seeing certain people with that stupid little moustache growing on their face is enough to make me sick.

I didn't know much about this Movember thing until one night on the ice, I saw all these hockey players wearing one, guys who don't normally grow one, growing one.

I needed to google it one night to find out why they do it then it started making sense to me.

As if it wasn't hard enough to see even some of my closest friends wearing their 'Mo's', even the guys on TSN's SportsCentre have theirs on.

Sometimes those two guys are hilarious, but there is something about that stupid moustache that kind of takes away from it. At a banquet on the weekend, I think everyone I saw had one, except me.

Thank God that Movember is pretty much done by the time this paper gets printed.

No-vember, as it is usually referred is a pretty good month. It signals the end of football season, at least in this country.

Our neighbours to the south definitely can't say that, nor would they want to. College football is just heating up, while both university and professional football here is now done. Over the weekend, the McMaster University Marauders beat Laval for the Vanier Cup.

Go Hamilton!

During Sunday's Grey Cup, BC looked to have the Cup wrapped up until Winnipeg scared them late (like all good sports teams do).

My favourite part was the post-game talk to Lions WR Arland Bruce, who may have cemented his status as a 'money' playerthe guy who comes up huge at the best possible time.

After a Bomber DB poked fun at his end zone celebration in which he mimics an airplane, Bruce responded by scoring points that helped lead his team to a Grey Cup championship on home turf.

Bruce is not known for modesty. Which is funny sometimes. Bruce is a CFL version of Terrell Owens. He is supposedly one of the hardest working players on the Lions roster. On Sunday, he proved he is also one of the best.

He admitted that he knew he would make BC a much better team.

A reporter in Vancouver asked him what makes the Lions such a strong team (and now Cup champion).

Bruce responded: "'cause I'm on the team!"

He went on to refer to the reporter as 'baby' about four times."we won baby, we won. We won the game, baby!"

Another guy who is starting to play like the money he's getting paid is the Leafs' Phil Kessel. Although you will probably not hear a short, white guy say 'baby' four times on the air, Kessel is on pace for a 60-goal season and his Leafs team is pushing its way to the top of the NHL.
