The combination Horseshoe Tavern Beths show/Kawhi news dropping night is a core Toronto memory for a specific group of people
I’ve had some decent prospect takes but nothing as good as my belief that The Beths would become one of the best bands in the world

We are now two team names/brand identities past the time travelling suburban soccer robot who had an Eastern European last name and looked like he was wearing tefillin

If i may be self-indulgent for a moment, who should be a part of the all CanCon All-Stars halftime show? I'm not talkin Bieber or Drake or The Weeknd i'm talking a real Guy Remembering Halftime Show

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

I can't quite understand the implication Walsh is trying to get across here without a graphic. Allan, do you have an image of Harper with a sword in his back helpfully labelled 'Manfred' handy?
These new details from last summer's confrontation between Rob Manfred and Bryce Harper are absolutely insane.
MLB officials threatening players will "end up in a ditch" for disrespecting Manfred is outrageous behavior.

When I was a skater they enrolled us in many off-ice visualization seminars and it took me years to figure out that everyone but me could do the things we were asked to. I really thought everyone was faking it because it seemed like the thing to do

Arcade Fire does Rumours would be the first interesting music they've put out in a decade (with the caveat that I have not listened to a second of Pink Elephants so *maybe* there's something truly compelling that I'm missing out on)

What Trey Yesavage did tonight is one of the most important pitching performances in #BlueJays history.
A masterclass from a rookie in Game 5 of the World Series. We might be talking about it forever in Toronto.
