Andy thought I was nuts to bring up the Leafs on today’s podcast. This is such an obvious ruh roh that I respect the hell out of it.
A wild choice from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as he arrives at the Rogers Centre in a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey.
Clearly some thinking behind it — but not exactly the Game 7 history you want to be replicating tonight.
Just four hours away now.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.
“Following his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.” Everything about this is so cursed. Masks off at the University of Oxford.
