Dear Cheap Bastards…I Mean TSN
If you’re going to simulcast the TV Grey Cup commentary to the radio, first of all don’t, but just as importantly, could you maybe clue the commentators in to the fact that they are being heard on the radio? Perhaps that way they might remember to do things like say the score now and again …
It’s Your Name. The Phone Says So
I just used the voice dictation on my iPhone to send a text. In that text, I used the word “dipshit”. Dictation got it correct, but it capitalized it. I wasn’t sure if that was a one off, so I sent another text and used it again. Again, it put a capital D on it. …
I Can’t Believe I’m Saying This, But PETA Might Be On To Something
It used to be that we wrote about the silly ass things PETA said with enough regularity that one day we decided it needed its own section. It has one, but nothing has been posted to it in nearly 12 years. Their dumb publicity stunts got old and we just stopped caring. But today it …

Our Old Ghost Friend Has Returned, And I Think It Might Be A Jays Fan
I’m a little rattled at the moment. I’m not sure how many of you remember about eight years ago when Carin and I were convinced that there was a ghost in our house. Well, he…she…they…whatever it is went quiet after that and we didn’t think much more about it once it did. Until today. While …

Play Ball! Keep Playing! Faster! Move It! Go!
I talked a little bit about the length of playoff baseball games this morning, and now here comes the Score to basically prove me right. I think they get a little too hung up on the amount of foul balls vs. balls in play, (watching a pitcher and hitter get into a battle of skills …

Yankees And Tigers On The Radio…In 1934
This is something else. A complete radio broadcast of the September 20th, 1934 game between the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers. This is the oldest full radio broadcast of a regular season baseball game known to exist (the 1934 All-Star Game is the only surviving full game broadcast that is older than this). …
You Have 1 Million Channels, Not 1
I should know the answer to this, but I don’t. TSN has five channels. Sportsnet has six. I know that part of their purpose is the ability to shift programming to different time zones or broadcast things only to specific regions, but much of the time they aren’t doing that. In fact, there are plenty …
You Miss 100% Of The Shots You Don’t Take
Parent seeks reimbursement for equipment after OMHA’s vaccine policy benches sons Fuck this guy. On second thought, no. Do not fuck this guy under any circumstances. Getting that close will probably get you COVID courtesy of him or his unvaccinated family. Seriously, how did this douche get a story on the news? He should be …

The Sex Offender Shuffle
A friend sent me this out of the blue last night and I laughed and laughed. Lyrics are here. In case anyone asks since apparently there’s been confusion about this, no, it’s not real. It’s a parody of the Chicago Bears “Super Bowl Shuffle” from 1985. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4otQ5C-ZZIc
