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 …
The 1983 Toronto Argonauts Grey Cup Riot
These days it’s like pulling teeth to get anyone out to an Argos game, but it wasn’t always that way. A whole lot of people used to genuinely care about the team, so much so that there was a mini riot after they won the Grey Cup in 1983. I have no memory of any …
Take It Out AT The Ball Game
So this is a thing that happened at a baseball game a few weeks ago. Angry fan at Mets game threatens young family and exposes himself to the kids The incident happened in the ninth inning of the Mets’ 9-0 victory over the Phillies Tuesday night, when 20-year-old Richard Patrylo asked the father if he …
Don’t Be Different
Wow, what an absolute garbage decision. Somebody has a naturally occurring condition that happens to make her very good at something, so the solution is to force her to take drugs she doesn’t need, risking her health in the process, if she wants to continue her career? Fuck off, IAAF. Just fuck right off. And …
And Now, Here To Perform The American National Anthem In The Key Of C-rap…
Quite possibly the worst rendition of the National Anthem of all time @Starting9 (via @T_Funds_) pic.twitter.com/rFDgyPmeZp — Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) May 5, 2019 What exactly is this man doing? Yes, I know he’s attempting to sing the Star Spangled Banner at a baseball game, but what is he doing? And more importantly, why is he …

Happy 50th Birthday, Whatever Is Left Of The Montreal Expos
This is video of the first home run hit by a Montreal Expo during a home game. In the first inning of the first major league game ever played outside of the United States (April 14th, 1969), Mack Jones crushed it into the right field seats to give the Expos a 3-0 lead. They’d go …

If Your Pool Wasn’t Hosed Already…
…It is now. Colorado Avalanche eliminate Calgary Flames from Stanley Cup playoffs My memory for hockey trivia isn’t the best, so I thought maybe that was why I was having trouble thinking of another time when the league’s two best teams got massacred so badly that they could only manage a single playoff win between …
