It's that wacky time of year again around BMO Field. Thousands come and go, there's screaming,
laughing and crying, all while countless clowns and freakshows entertain for peanuts. No, it's not
the MLS Transfer Window - it's the Canadian National Exhibition. Toronto's annual fair to celebrate
and showcase the best in fried dough technology, the finest in men's leather belts, Sha Na Na cover
bands and amusements "assembled" by some of North America's finest carnies.
I may take a few days to develop a theory that hit me tonight. The problem with TFC is the CNE. I
am of baby boomer vintage and can remember when the CNE was the pinnacle of a Toronto summer. It
was not just an amusement park, it was a showcase for the latest and the greatest The world has
changed and we know that the old CNE has been left behind by Disney this and Universal Studios
that.
Electrifying! Unlike TFC's offence.
IN THE TUNNEL:Whatever god, deity or golden calf that MLSE sacrifices virgins to - really, really wants Toronto
FC to become CONCACAF Champions. For the second time this year, Great Odin's Beard has caused the
skies to turn upside down over BMO Field and wash away a 1-0 deficit in its biblical wake.

Those are top quality Academy prospects!
There have been few Toronto FC press conferences that have been as momentous as last week's
introduction to Aron Winter & Co. There was the club unveiling in 2006, Dwayne De Rosario's signing
from Houston, "The Great Mo & Preki Escape" of 2010... Oh, and maybe Jacob Peterson's Amish Hip-Hop
album release.
