Terry Fox Entering the Winnipeg Hall of Fame
Written By Ken | No Comments
Nearly 30 years after his death, Terry Fox has finally joined the Winnipeg Citizens Hall of Fame.
Terry Fox was a Canadian humanitarian, athlete, and cancer research activist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Though the spread of his cancer forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 mi), and ultimately cost him his life, his determination and example created a lasting, worldwide legacy. The annual Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to involve millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world’s largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research; over C$500 million has been raised in his name.
Terry Fox joins other notable Winnipeggers including former mayor Stephen Juba, media magnate and philanthropist Israel Asper, suffragette Nellie McClung, artist Leo Mol, author Carol Shields and Winnipeg Jets founder Ben Hatskin.

VIDEO: Shaq vs. Tyson Gay
Written By Ken | No Comments
Season 2 of Shaq Vs. is currently underway on ABC. If you’re not familiar with Shaq Vs., it’s when NBA All-Star/Champion Shaquille O’Neal (Shaq) challenges other superstar athletes at their own sport.
Season 1 was tons of fun to watch… but it seems like season 2 is a lot of the same thing… which is Shaq losing horribly to every athlete he goes up against.
But still, I can’t take my eyes off the TV and I seem to want to watch it whenever it’s on. As much as I hate to admit it, this guy is very entertaining to watch. Here is Shaq Vs. Tyson Gay (fastest man in America).
Season 2 Episodes so far:
2.01 “Shaq vs. Dale Earnhardt Jr.”
2.02 “Shaq vs. Shane Mosley; Shaq vs. Penn and Teller”
2.03 “Shaq vs. Rachael Ray; Shaq vs. Tyson Gay”
2.04 “Shaq vs. Charles Barkley; Shaq vs. Competitive Eating”
2.05 “Shaq vs. Justin Bieber; Shaq vs. Jimmy Kimmel”
I’d like to see a finale of Shaq vs. Kobe… now that would make GOOD TV!
