Well. That escalated quickly. I wasn’t sure Mike Babcock was going to last the year coaching the Leafs, but I didn’t think he was going to get fired yesterday, either. But I suppose now is as good a time as any, what with the team’s six game losing streak, the sub .500 record, the lack …

I Respect Don Cherry
No, not because of what he said. It, like a lot of other things he’s come out with through the years, is ignorant at best. What I appreciate and yes, even respect is that he’s refusing to apologize for it in order to save his own skin. If you don’t like Don Cherry’s stupid opinion, …
Dumb People Are Trying To Ruin Deadspin
I know it’s dumb people, because if your grand idea is to buy something that’s both unique and popular and then set about draining it of much of what makes it unique and popular, you are a dumb person. Deadspin works precisely because it doesn’t stick to sports. Don’t get me wrong, it can be …
At Least Whoever Ended UP With That Ball Will Have A Dumb Story To Tell
Poor Anderson Feliz is going to have a hard time living this one down. Woof. The Minors gave us one of the weirdest walk-offs you'll ever see. @swbrailriders' Breyvic Valera hits what appears to be a game-tying double, but Norfolk's right fielder forgets how many outs there are….

It’s Been 25 Years Since That Version Of O Canada AT The Las Vegas CFL Game
I posted this video once before, back when everybody was freaking out about Nelly Furtado singing O Canada at that basketball game and I was trying to get them all to calm down. And now that the 25th anniversary of what is still one of the best worst anthem performances of all time has passed, …

Happy Almost Retirement, Larry Mellott!
Sending best regards to @stormradioguy as he begins his final broadcast at @1460CJOY 30 mins from now before retiring from full time duty. ⚡⚡#PlatersPlayback 1988-09-21: Larry Mellott calling the Guelph Platers final season opener at Guelph Memorial Gardens vs Toronto Marlies. pic.twitter.com/Cm7Z75kRS9 — Platers Hockey History (@PlatersHockey) June 28, 2019 That’s some old audio of …
Playing Music For A Few Seconds Whenever Somebody Blows A Whistle Is Harder Than It Sounds
Alan Cross spent a couple of years working with the Toronto Maple Leafs, helping to redesign the musical experience that anybody who has ever watched or been to a sporting event is likely familiar with. He recently wrote an article about what exactly that involves, and surprisingly it’s a hell of a lot more than …
Happy Temporary Forced Retirement, Bob McCown
"My butt hurts. I'm gone. There will be no more. Good night and goodbye from Toronto."@FadooBobcat signs off the only way he knows how 😂 pic.twitter.com/QTBxAhvZ0M — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) June 21, 2019 Man, sports talk in Canada is going to be pretty weird without Bob McCown, the latest veteran broadcaster that Rogers has sent to …

Guy Might Be Guy, CTV Reports
This is quite possibly the dumbest news report I’ve seen since it’s hot out when it’s summer. That, perhaps not coincidentally I’m starting to think, was also a CTV production. Yorkville resident says he may have seen Kawhi Leonard Pierre-James Murphy stood across from his apartment in Yorkville, staring at the crowd that had gathered …
My Favourite Part Of The Raptors Parade
All that basketball stuff was pretty alright, but I wish to direct your attention to this heartwarming moment. Ontario Premier Doug Ford was greeted with a chorus of boos when he was announced to the crowd at the #raptorsparade. #onpoli #wethenorth MORE: https://t.co/76D3MRlhzU pic.twitter.com/bLXliWXeyz — Globalnews.ca (@globalnews) June 17, 2019 And it sounds even better …
