You obviously mean “Gino from Woodbridge”. They have the best trade suggestions for the Leafs.

Such as when I spent 7 years in a city with professional union teams? Enjoyed those, too. Fortunately, I’m not obligated to take a side in the rugby sectarian battle and can enjoy both.

Having just spent my first season as a Toronto Wolfpack rugby league season ticket holder, after playing and coaching rugby union for the past 33 years, I couldn’t disagree more with the first part of your sentence.

Our friend’s mother is called “Fred” by her grandkids and sometimes by her own daughters. I’ve been told the story behind this more than once and still don’t understand it. But, never-the-less, we all call her Fred.

Agree on the number of douchey competitors but the single most annoying one to watch wasn’t due to the competitor but her douchey diva of a son who kept doing look-at-me flips and handstands while Mom was on the course. Of course, the cameras kept cutting to him... 

Not eligible this year because of the late start to the season.

No, our life sentences are not capped at 25 years. Life is life; 25 years is the earliest a person convicted of 1st degree murder can apply for parole though it is by no means automatic.

Obligatory.

Agreed. I coach my kids’ flag rugby team and the most consistent offensive player is the kid who is fast but, just as importantly, a few inches shorter than everyone else. Tall kids have to break their natural running stride to grab his flags and that’s when he pulls away from them.

Actually, it would be more accurate to describe TSN as Bell Canada owned since they own 80% of it and ESPN owns 20%.

March sometimes has Easter and the more virulent Quebec nationalists would shit a brick over your statement about June.

Canada is a nation of progressive, open-minded individuals who are...

*Remembers the popularity of Don Cherry among dudebros of all ages*

... fuck it.

He doesn’t so much love good Canadian military boys as he hides behind them any week he is called out for his xenophobic garbage.

Note: He will occasionally mix it up and hide behind the family of a police officer killed or injured in the line of duty.

I would love to see one small adjustment to the rule to open things up without turning it into an exercise in protecting your goal area all game: A player remains onside as long as any part of their body is level with any part of the defender’s body.

Discussed this video via e-mail with two referee friends. One is Provincial A level and one is National A level. They both agree that a number of those fends are illegal. The way they explained it was that, ultimately, the ref has two responsibilities: player safety and fair play. A number of those fends fail in both…

Not when they are delivered to the neck.

So many stiff arm fends at the neck level. Anything that high is illegal in rugby.

No, no; never suggest neocons change their tactics. Their current strategy is a losing one and we should do everything in our power to ensure they continue. Why risk helping them?
