So hey, MLB released the 2017 schedule yesterday. Maybe that’ll be a nice break from thinking about 2016, specifically September, a month that has seen the Blue Jays go from leading the American League East to third place in it in the span of 15 days. That’s bad, in case you were wondering. Not so …

Happy 32nd Birthday, TSN! Here’s What Its First Few Minutes Looked Like
Here’s a neat piece of history. These are the first seven minutes of TSN, which went on the air on September 1st, 1984. I know the sports broadcasting universe has dramatically changed and expanded since, but I still can’t imagine life without TSN today.
My God, These Olympics
Before a lot of Olympics start, it’s pretty much inevitable that you’ll hear stories about all the problems plaguing the host city. Construction projects running behind, rights violations in the name of corporate sponsorship, mistreatment of workers and citizens, multi-million dollar budget shortfalls that seem to take everyone involved by surprise…all kinds of fun stuff. …
Caldwell Is Throwing Some Real Heat Tonight
Sometimes it can be difficult to decide whether the old days were the best or the worst. We have all kinds of safety standards and modern conveniences that make life simpler, safer and in a lot of ways much much better than it surely used to be, but on the other hand we don’t get …

Nelly Furtado’s O Canada Was Not The Worst Thing You’ve Ever Heard, And I Can Prove It
People have been shitting all over it, but to my ears there’s not a thing wrong with the version of O Canada that Nelly Furtado sang at the NBA All-Star game. Is it a bit different? Sure. But it’s not *that* different, and it’s certainly nowhere near as horrifying as people on Twitter made it …
It Was Fun While It Lasted. See You Next Year, Blue Jays
They kept things interesting until the very last second, but it’s all over. The Jays dropped game 6 to the Royals last night, finishing off a pretty fucking fantastic year. When the season started, I had pretty well zero expectations for this team. Neither did you, liar yelling at me through your screen right now. …

Stop Throwing Shit On The Field, You Morons!
I’m happy to read that police charged one of the imbeciles that was throwing beer cans and other crap at the field during the Jays game yesterday. It’s too bad it’s only one, but if there can be only one, at least they got the asshole who almost hit a baby. Listen, you dopey motherfuckers. …

The Blue Jays Just Won The American League East! WOOOOOOOO!
For the first time since I was in grade 8, the Blue Jays have made the playoffs! I hardly know what to say right now, but I feel like I have to say something. Perhaps this is all I need, though. There’s no point in analyzing how they got here, because they’re here and that’s …

Some Of The Worst Goals In The History Of Hockey
Inspired by this shorthanded beauty from centre ice given up by Jonathan Bernier as the Leafs were on their way to franchise record depths of awful last season, Down Goes Brown under his real name made a list of ten of the worst goals in history that can be found on YouTube. Yes Leafs fans, …

Enjoy The Music While You Can. TSN Radio 1150 Arrives On Labour Day
Seeing as a good number of people have been coming here lately looking for info and a couple have even asked me about it, I thought I’d pass on the news I just got about the end of classic hits CKOC and the beginning of TSN Radio 1150 Hamilton. As I figured but never confirmed, …
