The Canadian Cannonball Championship was held yesterday and there’s some grumbling about the champion. Mark Russel is about 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds yet he came away the winner for the second year in a row. Of course, all the fat guys are saying that the competition is more about style than substance now.
I felt the judges were giving more credit to the costume than the actual size of the splash. I was booming them over five metres high and I’m getting a 7. If I had a wig on and a pair of balloons in my shirt, I would’ve got an eight or a nine.
We love controversy at second rate sports competitions.
