I actually have no idea who you are and I congratulate you on knowing so much about my family and me. I am glad the Nash family can provide your empty life with a glimmer of hope. I will gladly “set the record straight” on your misinformation campaign and your feeble attempt to defame me with your libel on my BLOG, but do take notice; I did keep your statements posted.

I played in 9 of 11 games at BU in my first year, and yes I replaced an injured player, but I still started at LB in 2 games, one against McGill University and our homecoming game against Ottawa. And please be advised, my goal was NEVER to play in the CFL. So it is you that is badly misinformed. I actually never applied to SFU because Bishop’s is revered as Linebacker U in Canada (see Leroy Blough, Ray Bernard and Eddie Edwards), I was recruited to play within the OQIFC, and I never said (or intimated) that I played D1 football at Missou. I captained and played at Evangel University and played MLB there. I actually followed my best friend there, after his brother was killed in a car accident. I thought we could really benefit from some quality time together. We actually played in the same collegiate ranking system as SFU and placed 4th or 5th in the country in 1993 after winning the HOA Conference.

You are absolutely correct in saying that I had VERY little money while attending BU. I make no bones about it. My awesome BU roomates (Dan Forfellow and Matt “Kraft Dinner” Hamilton) can attest to that while I used Gramma’s money during our weekly games of “Get-It-Up”. So I made some VERY conscious decisions to study, work and live in a way that would ensure that money was not going to be an issue in my future.

In regards to your comments about my family, I will only say that my brother has and continues to enjoy a wonderful career in pro hockey, and I believe he will be picked up very shortly by another NHL team. If you want to see his earnings (in US$) over the past six years, the NHLPA lists his salary on the NHL.com website.

What have you done? It is so easy to cast aspersions behind a veil of anonymity. I would suggest you post your college (and pro) athletic experience, your annual salary, and I am most curious about your vocation (that means J O B). I would also love for you to email me a current photo so I can post it on my BLOG.

And who are you to question my patriotism? I love Canada, and I love the U.S.A. You are obviously brilliant; especially in the area of history, because you likely remember (but forgot to inform my readers) about the internment and enslaving of the Japanese at the hands of Canadians during the Second World War. I think Canadians even confiscated their personal property, land and homes. I believe the slavery went as far as to leverage the Japanese in “forced-work” camps that built the western Canadian railways. But I am sure there were no murders or rapes during those dark times in Canadian history.

With this said, the U.S., “a country that goes into other part of the world such as Iraq and Afghanistan and have more people die! A country run by the world greatest terrorist: Bush! Whatever!”, (wow BBbbblair, very articulate and well said) All I can say is “thank God for the U.S. and their military”, otherwise Canada might have to spend more (unavailable) tax dollars on protecting the country and that would take away valuable tax revenue being used to bandage a badly broken Canadian medical system. But calling President Bush the ultimate terrorist just plainly shows your ignorance. I hope you NEVER have to experience what it was like in Washington DC on 911 (where my wife and I work and live).

As a final thought, I do not think James will be running back to Canada (if) he ever does become ill, because he has fantastic healthcare here in the U.S., and he does not want to wait six hours in the Canadian emergency rooms. There is this really bizarre concept here in the U.S.; if you work, you get medical insurance. One more thing, as an added benefit, if you work HARD for a great company you get world-class medical insurance.

On your next post, I would recommend a spell and (or) grammar check. Perhaps your future educational dollars would be best served studying English.

And Josh, you will get a post, I have been running like crazy. But I have a lot to say.
