supremely cool story.

You, sir, have all the academic bona fides to get into first-year psychology at Carleton U.

It’s been asked plenty of times, but without any satisfying answer: What the fuck IS a Gee-Gee?

As a proud Carleton alum, this warms my heart—and I would move heaven and earth to see what these Ravens are actually capable of vs. Duke. Kinda shocked that Dave Smart only makes ~$100K... he’s done more to burnish Carleton’s once-pretty-miserable reputation (Carleton: where the “k” stands for “kwality”! The only…

*reads just the headline* Ah, so literally any hockey player with a Hockey Dad! Lol.

And now he’s suing his business partner in the development of the new arena for $700 million because he’s a whiny baby, essentially scuttling the move to downtown Ottawa and wasting the past three years of our lives.

It’s playing in a very limited run in some Canadian theatres now, but press has been pretty good for it up here, and the production team’s bona fides are pretty solid, so hopefully there’ll be a US distributor for it at some point. I’m guessing the chances of it airing on Netflix anytime soon are kinda slim (ditto for…

This is disappointing because I expected a lot more from the Coens, who typically portray their characters with a deep sensitivity. For a good palate cleanser, try to see Edge of the Knife (SG̲aawaay Ḵ’uuna), the first-ever film made entirely in the Haida language in Haida Gwaii off the coast of British Columbia. Made…

I wonder how much of this can be chalked up to analytics finally working their way not just into the GMs’ offices, but into coaching schemes and personnel use. There’s certainly been a sea change away from conventional wisdom about toughness and “compete” levels (at least in the NBA and NHL) that’s made it easier for…

Aren’t there, like, three or four other giant stadiums in Mexico City? I know there’s the that the Pumas play at, and the one for Cruz Azul, and assuming each of the other big cities in the area all have one or two, or all they all similarly fucked up? 

Paulette Jordan seems like a pretty rad individual, all things considered. Also: low-key total smokeshow. 

I have much to learn from your husbanding ways.

And the best part is, there will be zero corny social media nonsense or attention-seeking quotes to the press with Kawhi. He’s the most average guy in the world, with the lone exception of his superhuman basketball abilities.

Nick, this is just a fantastic piece that I worry you’ll have to write over and over again in the next couple years. Chi Miigwetch from the Dish With One Spoon Territory, shared by the Mississauga, Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe people, as well as all guests and newcomers that come here more recently.

Grandpa!

Wilson is clearly a piece of shit and 20 games is about right, but the bigger surprise of the day is that this is Deadspin’s 4th hockey post today!

Thank you for not making fun of the Senators. We Sens fans have that covered more than enough already.

As a Canadian NFL fan, this blows serious goats (Canadian television advertising is the most milquetoast television you’ll ever see, it’s like 50% bank commercials, 25% ads for terrible Canadian television shows and 25% mass-market consumer dreck without a hint of humour) and yet, it is only about 400th most terrible…

Rhea Hive: Activate.

Well, those breasts still gotta come from a dead chicken at some point. I’m happy to bat clean up for you but until we can grow just the breasts in a lab, I think you’re just as responsible for the death of a chicken if you eat one flat than if you eat the whole damn thing from that little neck bit to the delicious,…
