KayvonTV interviews Pro Bowl Safety Troy Polamalu as the Pittsburgh Steelers arrive in Toronto to take on the Buffalo Bills @ the Rogers Center.


Hi Folks! Rest assured, this being Toronto and all, the great Kayvon of KayvonTV fame was indeed on the scene when the Pittsburgh Steelers arrived in Toronto last night to get ready for their preseason game at the Rogers Center against the Buffalo Bills.
I managed to get the good folks @ KayvonTV working overtime for you, and they have managed to put together my first of many KayvonTV episodes featuring The Pittsburgh Steelers and The Buffalo Bills.
In this video, I meet Pro Bowl Safety Troy Polamalu of long hair fame, I managed to ask Troy about various subjects, ranging from his thoughts on tomorrow’s game, to the possibility of him one day playing in the CFL. (The REAL football league)


KayvonTV meets San Jose Sharks NHL Superstar Joe Thornton @ the newly opened Pro Hockey Life store in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.



Boxing Great & Canadian Legend George Chuvalo chats with KayvonTV about fighting Muhammad Ali, the UFC, & the current state of the Boxing world.



The Boston Celtics Win the 2008 NBA Championship over the LA Lakers thanks to the Big Three aka Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen.


The Boston contingent celebrates once again! The Boston Celtics have won the NBA championship over the likes of Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers! Props to my main man, Paul Pierce!
We are the Champions, We are the Champions, No time for losers ’cause We are the Champions, Of the World!
Yes Sir!!


Kayvon goes to the races @ Downview park in uptown Toronto, Ontario, Canada.


My attempts to get into Import Fest 2008 to watch me a Hip-Hop concert featuring my good friend, Imaan Faith, failed miserably. KayvonTV’s ability to crash gates continues to be an area that I feel we need to work better to improve on, too bad my good friend, Rocket, wasn’t working security folks!! Then we would have gotten in for sure.
Since we were not going to get into import fest, my producer John suggested that I try my hand at the GrandPrix Kartways Go-Kart course located at Downsview Park. Being such a control freak, I have never driven a car before and I was mighty scared to try.
All in all a real fun day, we even stopped at the legendary California Sandwiches on Chestwood Drive afterwards for a quick bit. It was my first time trying California’s and despite all the hype, I felt that veal back home was way more preferable.
Good thing I am on my way to England tomorrow folks!! too bad my production team can’t afford to come along (i.e. sponsorship), it promises to be a really swell and don’t worry we have even managed to figure out a way to record it all thanks to the good folks at Quickpod!
God speed everybody!! Let’s hope England is ready for the return of KayvonTV!!


KayvonTV interviews NHL Hall of Famer Paul Coffey and TSN’s Rod Black @ the Bell Celebrity Gala


With the NHL’s Stanley Cup Playoffs in full gear, I figured this would be the perfect time to post my interview with former NHL great Paul Coffey. Paul is known as one of the greatest offensive defenceman of all-time. Paul played for the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins, Hartford Whalers, Philadelphia Flyers, Detroit Red Wings, and most notably, the Edmonton Oilers, where he teamed with Mr.Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, and my favorite hockey player of all-time, Glenn Anderson to win several Stanley Cups.
Coffey gave me the low down on his retirement plans, his childhood playing days with my good buddy Rocket, and his thoughts on Mark Messier being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
What a great guy! an absolute legend in the flesh folks! This guy has won Stanley Cups with both Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, and helped redefine the roll of a defenceman in the modern NHL.


KayvonTV meets “Mr.Hockey” Gordie Howe and Tyler Stewart of the Barenaked Ladies after the NHL awards in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada.


With the National Hockey League’s Stanley Cup Playoffs in full bloom, I thought this would be the perfect time to flash back to last years’ NHL Awards and my surprise encounter with none other than “Mr.Hockey” himself, the legendary Gordie Howe.
Gordie is one of the greatest players to ever lace up the skates! He is an NHL Hall of Famer who played for the Detroit Red Wings and Hartford Whalers of the National Hockey League (NHL). Mr.Hockey also played with the Houston Aeros and New England Whalers in the World Hockey Association (WHA).
The funny or ironic thing was that I bumped into former NHL great and one of Gordie’s longtime fellow teammates in none other than Mr. Tony McKegney! Unfortunately, however, the focus and attention I had on Mr.McKegney seemed to all of a sudden have abruptly ended when Mr.Howe’s presence became known outside of the stage door of the storied Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada! In fact, the hockey fans gathered around outside there were in absolute awe and a frenzy was soon let loose on the beloved hockey god himself! Quite the scene it was there indeed!
I also ran into Tyler Stewart of legendary Toronto band, the Barenaked Ladies. Mr.Stewart was indeed very happy to see me! We chatted for a bit with each other! It was fantastic really! I just hope he remembered to say hi to my fellow Englishman and former NHL great, Mr. Steve ‘Stumpy’ Thomas! I do really admire Stumpy and his charismatic ways! For afterall, he was one of the true gentlemen and consumate professionals (much like Mr.Hockey and the Great One) to ever have played in both the American Hockey League (AHL) and the NHL during his fantastic career! A real competitor and gritty leader he was in the sport of ice hockey nonetheless, who was the heart n’ soul of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Chicago Blackhawks for many years during his time in the NHL!
All in all a great night it truly was and a really fun time had by all in attendance that evening! Pure magic! In fact folks, I can hardly wait for the 2008 edition of the NHL Awards ceremonies here in Hockey Town to start all over again! Quite simply put: the NHL still is the coolest game on earth! Cheers to the legend of Mr.Hockey! Game On!


KayvonTV reports from the Toronto Raptors playoff rally @ the ACC and puts a curse on the Orlando Magic led by NBA All-Stars Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu, and Rashard Lewis.


Well hopefully the curse works for tonights NBA playoff game folks!!! Hopefully Chris Bosh, TJ Ford, Andrea Bargnani, Anthony Parker, Jose Calderon and the rest of the Toronto Raptors show up tonight for coach Sam Mitchell against the Orlando Magic, led by NBA all-stars, Dwight “Superman” Howard, Hedo Turkoglu, Rashard Lewis, and Jameer Nelson. Sorry I can’t write much write now, I am on my way to my favorite British Pub to watch the game. The Raptors really need the W tonight, so lets go Raptors!!! Superman must die!!


KayvonTV meets NBA Hall of Famer Moses Malone before the 76ers take on the Raptors at the ACC.


The NBA playoffs are fast approaching, so I thought this would be a appropriate time for us to post an episode featuring a memorable encounter that I had with NBA legend Moses Malone, that’s right folks, the “Mailman” himself.
Moses Malone was a first ballot Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer and was named one of the 50 greatest basketball players in NBA history.
He was a 3 time NBA MVP, 12 time NBA All-Star, and ranks third all-time behind only Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most points scored. He was also the first player to ever go directly from high school to the pros, whem at the age of 18 he signed with the Utah Stars of the now defunked ABA.
Needless to say I am a big fan of the Mailman, so it was a real thrill to see him in the flesh boarding the team bus before the Philadelphia Sixers faced the Toronto Raptors at the Air Canada Center.
I wish he would have been a bit nicer to me, maybe signed an autograph or two for me, perhaps like his former teammate (and current Sixers coach) Maurice “Mo” Cheeks was.
Well you can win them all Folks, after all this is Toronto, where even megastars like myself can’t score Raptors playoff tickets!!
GO RAPS!!!
