Hello everyone and welcome to another week of sports fodder that gets it poppin'— Fat Joe style. We went with 23 thoughts this week in honor of the amount of penalty minutes Vancouver Canucks' Andrew Alberts has in the first two games of these playoffs. See point 18 for more details. note: you can also visit me at thejammerblog.wordpress.com for sunday fodder as well as other terribly written material throughout the week (plug?)

Get ready, because this column is “Burnin’ Up”. (Note: That might be the best joke on this week’s column. Warning you now and possibly saving you 10 minutes of your life). This week we went with 26 thoughts in honor of my boy Nick Jonas whose side project, Nike Jonas and the Administration has 26 letters in its name.

April is upon us and I still have a job here. Wow! This week we are paying homage to the legendary Jack Bauer, whose hit show “24” is being cancelled after this season. So, in honor of Agent Bauer, we are going with 24 thoughts this week because I love the show, and because 24 thoughts is less work than 28.

Who’s Lauren Woolstencroft you ask? If you don’t know then shame on you and you will have to wait until the final thought to find out who she is. This week we went with 23 thoughts in honour of George Michael—who had the number one song on the planet 23 years ago with his mega hit “Faith”. It’s now 23 years later and this song has become the battle cry for Toronto Maple Leaf fans everywhere.

Another week and another round of thoughts. This week we thought we’d have some fun poking at President Barack Obama, Tiger Woods, and the world’s most dedicated father. We went with 25 thoughts this week in honor of the amount of times commentator Kevin Weekes said the term “goal line stand” during last night’s Canucks/Red Wings game when referring to a Roberto Luongo save. He must’ve just learned this term because he certainly didn’t make any “goal line stands” during his own NHL career.

Another week and another round of mind boggling sports thoughts that are sure to make you feverously swear at your computer. I’m in Hawaii on vacation this week so I actually wrote this column from the nice sandy beach outside of my condo; thus giving you the dedication and work ethic that you demand. This week we opted to go with 26 thoughts in honour of the amount of times I ate sand while attempting to boogie board. The sand was almost as distasteful as some of the thoughts in this week’s column. But enough about my awesome way of dealing with my Olympic hangover, lets dabble in some fodder.

The issue of headshots in hockey will be put under the microscope when the NHL's 30 general managers meet this week. Although it will be just one of the many topics discussed during the annual GM meetings from Monday to Wednesday in Boca Raton, Fla., it seems to be the one most likely to result in a potential rule change.

The Olympics are over and life goes back to usual. Who else realized how boring there life was after the Olympics were over? This sports writer did, so he’s back with a vengeance with 22 sports thoughts that are sure to make you question why I still have a job here. We went with 22 thoughts this week in honor of the Alice in Wonderland Soundtrack—which has 22 songs that I illegally downloaded and burned onto a CD after I photocopied an online movie ticket and got in free to a sold out showing on Friday Night. Now that you know a little about how I operate, let’s get into some fodder!

Yes it has been another week and yes I still have a job here, so you know what that means! Yes, another round of thoughts that is guaranteed to waste your time and enlighten you simultaneously. It’s how we get it done here at VSO. This week we opted to go with 25 thoughts for the amount of face-offs Patrice Bergeron lost in yesterday’s gold medal game. The number 25 also reflects the amount of minutes he got this entire tournament.

Another week and you know what that means. Yes, 20 minutes of your day being wasted reading this blog. This week as per our Olympic protocol here at VSO, we focus the majority of our thoughts on the Winter Olympics. We are going with 21 thoughts this week in honor of the amount of times Pierre Maguire said the word “personified” during the first period of the USA/Canada game.
