Speaking of bloopers, how about them Leafs? Yeah, low blow. One that I’m not sure how much they deserve considering that Auston Mathews had one of the best years a Leaf has ever had and they made the playoffs yet again. But then they did what they always seem to do, forget that they’re any …

Everything Is On The Table Doesn’t Mean Go Ahead And Eat The Candles
Over the years I’ve become, for the most part, the sort of sports fan that tries not to get super worked up or bent out of shape about every decision that a manager or a coach does or doesn’t make. Sometimes I get a little hot because this or that wasn’t what I would have …

Classic Baseball On The Radio
If you enjoyed that 1934 Yankees Tigers game I posted a couple of years ago, then chances are this YouTube channel I just discovered is going to be your jam. It’s called Classic Baseball on the Radio, and it’s exactly what you would think it would be with a name like that. Full length radio …
A Post
Coming to you live from one of our nice lawn chairs that some dickhead pigeons have pecked the hell out of, it’s…a post about stuff! Yay! Right now you’re all sharing my first nice weather beer of 2023 with me. Thank you for being here. It means the world. And before you ask, no, I …
Yes You Can Do It! You Know You Can Do It! Baby All You Gotta Do Is Try!
Of all the things I may have expected to get firmly lodged in my head this morning, I can safely say that Guy Lafleur teaching me how to score a goal to a soundtrack of disco music complete with cheerful, encouraging background vocals was not among them. And yet, here we are. In 1979, an …

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 …
