Jim Thomson responds to Don Cherry

Jim Thomson heard Don Cherry call him and two other retired hockey players  hypocrites and as 'pukes', as Thomson sat eating dinner with his children at a Toronto restaurant last week.

The ex-AHL and NHL enforcer has been a critic of  violence in hockey since leaving the game.

We reached him to get his response to Mr. Cherry's comments.

Swede meets weed

Ian Neale has a green thumb.

A massive, green thumb. He has a penchant for growing gigantic vegetables. So when hip hop artist snoop Dogg heard of Mr. Neale's horticultural accomplishments, he was impressed.  Mr. Dogg, himself an avid grower -- albeit of crops of a different kind -- invited the 68-year-old Welsh gardener to his concert. We spoke to Mr. Neale to get his reaction to such an invitation from a fellow grower.
