Greg "Silky" Dubetz, Your 2010 Canadian Athlete Of The Year!

Joey Votto has been voted Canada's Athlete Of The Year........ good for him. To be honest, I have no problem with this. I am sort of disappointed that I wasn't even nominated after my stellar season with the Rhinos, in which I carried us to with in one game of the League Final,  and not to mention my hot start with The Flamingos this year, with that being said, good job Joey.

Was he actually the best Canadian Athlete? Well that is why we are here today ladies and gentleman. First off, Amateur Athletes, I am sorry, but I always feel a little ripped off when a conoe-ist, or a Moguls Skier wins this thing,

I don't know why that is, but it is what is. So as far as the gold medalists at the Vancouver Olympics go, I'm sorry Chistine Nesbitt, Alexandre Bilodeau, and Skeleton Guy who crushed the pitcher of beer in front of the world, (Click the Picture for the video) he would get my vote by the way, for doing his impression of me and Boontis at Maguires back in the day, but you guys just don't have the same swagger as a Nash, or Crosby or Toews.

When you break it all down, there are only four guys that actually had a legitimate chance, Crosby, due to the Golden Goal, Toews, due to his dominant Olympics debut, and his Stanley Cup performance, GSP, because he is the facking man, and Votto, who almost pulled off the coveted MLB Triple Crown, which hasn't been done since Carl Yastrzemski in '67 with the Red Sox.

I smell a list, why don't we go ahead and call it "Gary's Top Five List Of His Canadian Athletes Of The Year!"

So let's break it down shall we.

Sydney Crosby

He had 109 points for the Pens last year, as well as 19 in 13 playoff games, but that is not where he gets his biggest push, he made me fifty bucks by scoring the Golden Goal at the Olympics, so, call me selfish, but that's my biggest reason for him being here, the money, not the goal.

Jonathon Toews

The 22 year old from Winnipeg led his team to the Stanley Cup, thanks to his 29 points in 22 games, and he also was regarded as one of the most dominant players in the Olympic hockey tournament........ "but Gary, why is he on your list?" you ask? That's easy baby, I took him in both my playoff drafts, and he won me both of them, so, sticking with a theme here, he's getting me that Kwan, and not the Michelle kind.

George "Rush" St. Pierre

The pound for pound best fighter in the world hasn't made me any money, but he has won a couple of fights this year, defending the UFC Welterwight Title. This would probably be my boy El Dandy's pick, but not mine.

Joey Votto

Then there's Votto. Not since Larry Walker has a Canadian won the NL MVP award. He was hands down the best player in all of baseball this year, and when someone wins an MVP award, it's such a huge honor, that it should automatically make the recipient the Canadian Athlete of the Year, kind of like when Steve Nash won the NBA MVP. Only one person can beat this guy, and that would be.....

Greg "Silkamatic 5000" Dubetz

Dude has overcome more in the last year than all five of these guys combined, and that is only because he was in PEAK physical shape before he battled the greatest opponent in the history of humanity, Cancer.

So far the scoreboard reads "Silkatron 1 - Cancer 0".  That my friends is good enough for me to crown Greg Dubetz my Canadian Athlete of the Year.

If you would like to congratulate him on this prestigious award, you can do so at Tequila's on Thursday night for the Tequila Nightclub Christmas Sweater Party, where all proceeds will be going to the GGLAD Foundation.

 If you would like tickets, you can email me at gettinergoin@yahoo.com , and leave a message, and I will get back to you. The tickets are 12 dollars, and will allow you to skip the line at the door, and roll right in to the hottest party of the Christmas season.

What Will The 2011 Jays Look Like????

So the MLB winter meetings are over, and the Toronto Blue Jays made some noise, trading Opening Day starter and anchor of the ridiculously young rotation Shaun Marcum, for Canadian Brett Lawrie. As well the Jays have been linked to many names, including Manny Ramirez, (Who I love!), Cy Young Winner Zach Grienke, (I also would love to see him fill Marcum's void........ that wasn't supposed to sound dirty), even my boy the O-Dog, Orlando Hudson has been romantically linked to my beloved Jays.

So what kind of a line up will we be looking at going into training camp..... that I cannot tell you, obviously because I am not the Fortune Teller booth from the movie Big, but what I can do is show you the line up that I would love to see.... with in reason.

Since it has been awhile since we had a sweet list, let's go ahead and name this one "Gary's Super Awesome Blue Jays Starting Roster That Will Most Likely NOT Be The One That The Boys Field..... But It Would Still Be Pretty Freaking Sweet!!!"

Ok, as Don Cherry likes to say.... "Let's Go!" (Click the Don for the best video in Rock Em Sock Em History!)

Let's Start with the pitching staff shall we:

1. Zach Grienke (This one has been pretty much tossed out now, but still, would be nice!)

2. Ricky Romero

3. Brendan Morrow

4. Brett Cecil

5. Kyle Drabek

Will Drabek be able to help the Jays to a playoff spot in 2011? I am thinkin you bet your balls!

Position

C - Russel Martin

1B - Adam Lind

2B - Orlando Hudson

3B - Arron Hill

SS - Yunel Escobar

LF - Travis Snider

CF - Vernon Wells

RF - Jose Bautista

DH - Manny Ramirez

Could the next Episodes of "Manny being Manny" be filmed in Toronto? I sure as shit hope so!

I checked in with the Maestro Of Bloganomics, and he had pretty much the same thing going, except no Grienke, no O-Dog, and Martin at third, but still, the idea is that this team is about to be very competitive in the league's most competitive division. That is why this whole blog is here, it is now time to get really excited about the Toronto Blue Jays, because we are on the verge of something we haven't seen around these parts since 1993.

What happened on Kyle And Gary's Super Awesome Podcast you ask? 

- We have El Dandy from It's Fighting Stupid - The best MMA/Boxing blog in all of Saskatchewan, and we do a preview of the BIG UFC 124 card......... Sports stars trade marking catch phrases?........ Rambo gets inducted in the boxing hall of fame........ What would you change your name to? Captain Awesome? ....... Heismen Talk.......... The Hornets new owner, the NBA!......

- Peter King says no trouble for Favre's cock!.......Sex club game, a review.........Mike Vick, Pro Bowl Votes Leader!!.....A list of terrible things that has happened to joggers.......Wrestling confronts the finger up the ass menace...Cypress Hill singer says CJ from GTA is him, give me some money bitch!..... You can fight as Butterbean........ Guess which team is most played online in Madden 11?

Here is you Greg Dubetz Fundraising Update:

Until next week,  Trojan Horse says "Go Jays Go!"

Mike Vick Is Awesome!!!

Mike Vick is AWESOME! I have been having a back and forth argument with my boy Pistol Pete pretty much since Vick got his first start this year. He says, (blinded by his Tom Brady Arabian Goggles) "Vick is sooooooo overrated, I can't believe people believe this crap, he is not that good!!!" To which I always reply "Vick is the best QB in the NFL right now!"

The old Mike Vick, relying on his athleticism to win games

Now I am not here to rip on the Pistol and his homo erotic fascination with Mr. Brady, but seriously...... .C'mon Man! This guy has been through so much over the past couple of years, and we are not going to get into that, but for him to come back to a sport that he once took for granted, and to be as incredible as he has been, (not just on the field, but off as well!) is stuff right out of the movies!

The New Mike Vick, thinking pass first, so beautiful!

So now that all that has been said, let's take a look at the numbers shall we:

Through 9 games Vick has:

- Thrown for 15 touchdowns, compared to 2 interceptions

- 2245 yards passing, with a 63.8  completion percentage

- 467 rushing yards, with 6 MORE touchdowns!!

- That works out to a QB rating of 105.7

This is not including those 4 dropped TD passes, and 5 other dropped passes over the past 4 weeks.

How about a comparison to the chosen one him self, the golden boy, Sir Tomas Brady:

Through 11 games, Brady has:

- 23 touchdowns, compared to 4 interceptions

- 2703 yards passing, and a completion percentage of 66.3

- 14 rushing yards, with 1 touchdown

- That works out to a QB of 105.8

What a super stud eh? Wow!

Ok kids, now what have we learned? I don't know about you, but it looks like Mike Vick is the black Tom Brady, mixed with the speed and elusiveness of Barry Sanders....... Who would you take to start your team?

If you answered Brady, you would be wrong, and as well, you have no business talking sports..... ever......... Pete.

Give me a break, who would have thought Tom would enter a wet T-shirt contest at Senior Frogs in Cancun?

I read an article about how Vick used to just go out and play in Atlanta, never watching tape, or putting in the hours and hours of extra work that goes into being an elite NFL quarterback. After he had everything taken away from him, he came back down to earth, and now understands what it takes to be great.

Before jail, Vick was an athlete that happened to play QB; now he is a QB that is a very good athlete.  Basically not relying on his athleticism and he is making good QB decisions, looking to pass first, instead of run first.  He is awesome.

Since this was a somewhat serious blog posting, I really feel like I let all three of the people that are going to read this down, by not throwing in more humor, I guess I will leave that to the Podcast.

Speaking of..... Coming up on this weeks installment of Kyle and Gary's Super Awesome Podcast: 

- In this jam packed one click to play episode, we talk about the Lakers and Heat losing, James Harrison getting fined....again, The LPGA is now allowing sex changed guys to girls...... Alcoholic Whipped Cream, Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan get fined, but not suspended for punching each other in the face.....
