Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Somebody must because all the networks keep doing it, but I’ve never understood it even as a sports fan. I care about what happens, but not once have I ever had even the slightest desire to sit and watch talking heads go on about nothing for hours on end and try to make marginal guy …

Here’s the tribute that the Leafs did for Bob Cole tonight. I can’t believe that this is the last Leafs home game he’ll ever call and that in just a couple short months his entire career will be over. So many great memories. Oh baby! For 50 years, Bob Cole’s calls have captivated the country. …
I don’t remember exactly how the conversation came around to it, but at dinner last night Carin mentioned Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen’s fantastic name. “Whenever I hear it,” she said, “all I can think of is Lets Talk Dirty In Hawaiian.” This made me very angry, because she’s totally right and how did I not think of …
If there’s a more fun name to say in all of hockey right now than Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, I haven’t heard it. If Canada had to lose, at least it was to the eventual winner. I can’t say that anyone who thinks that any of this is “anti-francophone racism” is wrong, but personally I’m not so …
I’m still no fan of the way Rogers has treated Bob Cole, but at least there’s been a wee bit of good news on that front. He’ll be sticking around to call an additional six games, winding things up on the final Saturday night of the season by calling Leafs vs. Canadiens. I still wish …

This is perhaps the best baseball meltdown I’ve ever seen. Someone's got a case of the Mondays… #SCNotTop10 @SportsCenter pic.twitter.com/FIhOJyXQbM — Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (@FMRedHawks) August 7, 2018 Late in a tied ballgame between the Chicago Dogs and the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball, umpire Mike Jarboe punched out Metzger on …
Bob Cole is 85-years old and has been calling hockey games in one place or another for 50 years. He is, for a lot of us, the voice of hockey. The one we grew up with. the one who has always been there. The one with whom we’ve spent more nights than we can possibly …
I’m not sure why I just opened this file and started writing. I don’t really have much to say, I don’t think. Mostly this is just an excuse to get the word Seppa-tebby-tebby up here somewhere. Seppa-tebby-tebby is September, at least according to my 2-year-old nephew who said it a couple months ago while I …
What is it with Toronto and racist politicians? No, not him. Him either. I’m talking about Mel Lastman, because I have just been reminded that today is the anniversary of the time he said he didn’t want to go to Africa because he might get boiled alive. Yes, that was a thing that the head …
