Tipsheet spotted this Canwest wire report: :

NAPANEE, Ont. - The trial for former NHL agent David Frost on sexual exploitation charges is set to begin Tuesday in an eastern Ontario courthouse.

Frost, 41, faces four sexual exploitation charges after police investigated incidents which occurred in the 1990s when he coached a junior hockey team in Deseronto, Ont., near Kingston. The victims were three boys and one girl who were between 14 and 16 years old at the time.

Let the weirdness resurface. The trial update is not pretty.

ESPN.com took a long look at this strange situation.

Meanwhile, Mike Danton – jailed for plotting Frost’s murder — continues his fight to finish his U.S. federal prison term in Canada.

“I feel like a piece of meat that my own government doesn’t care about,” Danton told the Ottawa Citizen. “I want the prime minister to know that one of his Canadians is in prison in America, and it’s not America holding up the transfer, it’s his government.”

If it makes anybody feel better, Danton has been a model prisoner while doing his time.

MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE

Questions to ponder while wondering if the Blues can make the most of their long home stand:

• Now that the Blues have the power play cranked up – with seven goals in three games – will they clean up their even-strength play?
• So what happened to the knuckle in Tim Wakefield’s knuckleball?
• What will become of Adam “Don’t Call Me Pacman” Jones?

TOUGH GUY OF THE WEEK

Mesa State football player Trevor Wikre was confronted with a medical dilemma. Surgery on his mangled right pinkie finger would have knocked him out for the year.

He had no time for that. So he ordered doctors to chop it off.

The Denver Post asked him if he had any second thoughts about that call.

“Sometimes, you realize you miss your pinkie,” Wikre said. “I mean, I’ve had it for 21 years.”

HEALTH TIP OF WEEK

From the wires:

BERLIN — Vitali Klitschko used his son’s wet, used diapers to keep his fists from swelling up after winning his WBC heavyweight title bout against Nigeria’s Samuel Peter, the Ukrainian told a German newspaper on Tuesday.

Klitschko said he wrapped them around his hands and they helped him recover.

“Baby wee is good because it’s pure, doesn’t contain toxins and doesn’t smell,” the 37-year old boxer told Bild after he won back the WBC title with a technical knockout on Saturday.

QUIPS ‘R US

Here is what some of America’s leading sports pundits have been writing:

Will Leitch, Deadspin: “And, suddenly, Jim Haslett is really popular in St. Louis. I think we’ve learned something about Haslett: He’s brilliant when immediately following a horrific coach. In New Orleans, it was Ditka; in St. Louis, Scott Linehan. The bad news is that St. Louis is about to be devastated by some sort of natural disaster, and Haslett will then be fired. Fortunately, Missouri’s a swing state, so the feds might actually show up to help.”

Gene Wojciechowski, ESPN.com: “(Joe) Paterno turns 82 in two months. He has eyeglasses older than some of his assistant coaches. And he might be the first eightysomething to injure his right hip while doing an onside kick. That’s why he has spent parts of three Penn State games, including Saturday night’s 48-7 road mauling of Wisconsin, in the coaches’ booth. So, yeah, he’s old. He’s also 7-0 this season and 38-9 in his past 47 games and, depending on how things shake out, could play for a BCS championship Jan. 8 in Miami.”

Scott Ostler, San Francisco Chronicle, on Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell: “What if Russell is a scatter arm? What if that huge right arm of his is a bazooka in the hands of Mr. Magoo?”

Greg Cote, Miami Herald: “Dolphin Ronnie Brown and two linemen got fined $10,000 by the NFL for that Cupid Shuffle end-zone dance violating the rule on choreographed celebrations. I say if you’re going to be fined for choreography, go all the way. Involve Rockettes, a circus elephant, dwarfs on stilts and Blue Man Group.”

Mike Bianchi, Orlando Sentinel: “I still can’t believe we’ve allowed a bunch of namby-pamby, politically correct goofballs to change the name of (the) Texas-Oklahoma ‘Red River Shootout’ to the now-officially titled ‘Red River Rivalry.’ These annoying thought police have gotten so out of hand that pretty soon they’ll rewrite the history books and start calling it ‘The Misunderstanding at the O.K. Corral.’”

Dan Daly, Washington Times: “So I’m reading about Kimbo Slice getting stopped in 14 seconds by a last-minute replacement, and I’m thinking: Doesn’t it hurt, just a bit, the credibility of mixed martial arts when its rising star looks like A Guy Who Couldn’t Win A Bar Fight?”

MEGAPHONE

“I talked to Tony about what I did to play with the thumb. Everyone is different and the two injuries are different, so only Tony knows. I will say this: Not only do I think he’s tough, but I think he’s also one of the top five players in the entire league.”
