I’ve been a fan/victim of this team my entire life, so I am also waiting to see how the Leafs will eventually screw this up and crush the dreams of their fanbase. But that said, I have never witnessed a management group as competent as this one. God help me, I think I believe in Shannahan. And this move doesn’t do…

I was living in Japan back when Ichiro was preparing to make the move to MLB. It’s only a little bit of an exaggeration to say that the entire country was following the story, hoping desperately that he would not fail. Japan had produced a few decent pitchers to that point, but the prevailing wisdom in North America…

The term “Political Correctness” has been thoroughly co-opted, and now simply refers to social rules that don’t allow assholes to act like assholes with impunity anymore.

I don’t care for his music, but I loved him on Degrassi.

I’m a Raptors fan, and even I can’t get behind this. The guy is a special player, and he’s a gifted passer on par with Magic at his peak - yeah I said it. He tries to involve his whole team by distributing the ball, very effectively I might add. The amount of flack this dude takes is insane given how great he is, as…

Are you from Toronto? Because I am, and every sports fan in the city has this tattooed on their soul. We don’t allow ourselves to believe until the final buzzer has gone. We’ve been crushed too many times.

Fourth largest city.

Complaining about the lack of respect shown by the league and US-based press is such a Canadian thing to do, but it’s also not wrong. The Raptors won 56 games this season, and finished a single game behind Cleveland for the top spot in the conference, yet have been treated as a joke throughout these playoffs. There…

I like the old man, and I think it’s been great having him around. He’s definitely forced Hillary to move to the left of where she would have been on several issues had she been allowed to run unopposed. That said, a lot of his policy proposals fall apart under serious scrutiny, and while it’s fantastic that he’s…

Living in Toronto, the playoffs, in any sport, can feel like a rare luxury. Something that fans in other cities get to experience, and that we vaguely remember from a time long past. But this entire Raptors run has been painful to watch. I’ve watched nearly every second of every game, but most nights, I want to punch…

So far the playoffs for the Raptors have been nothing but ugly. But all things considered, I will take ugly playoffs over non-existent ones, which is the default setting for most Toronto sports franchises.

Being a sports fan in Toronto teaches you early to expect nothing but pain and disappointment. When that 3-pointer went up at the buzzer, I and everyone else in the city had an all too familiar sinking feeling. I could not believe it when the ruling went their way. That was the greatest 4th quarter in Raptors history.…

Mrs. Schilling needs to move Curt’s computer out into the living room, so that she can keep an eye on his online activity.

This is literally the first thing that occurred to me. “Cold Blooded...”

It’s honestly too early on a Monday to deal with this in any type of serious fashion, but Ben Carson is just one in a line of black Republicans whose only job is to make the 90% of white Republicans feel better about their own racism. Twenty-five years ago, it was Clarence Thomas. They tried with Colin Powell, but he…

So what you’re saying is that taxes are actually required to fund the basic necessities of a functioning society, and are not the Communist plot that Republicans have been describing for the past 35 years?

I’ve been a fan (victim) of this team my entire life. Don’t worry, this most recent outbreak of competence will not last long.

I don’t understand what this means. I don’t care what team you usually cheer for (and I’m not a Warriors fan), but if you care about basketball, and even if you don’t, how can you not be amazed by what Curry’s been doing the past couple of seasons? He’s doing things night in, and night out, that we’ll all be talking…

I completely agree with everything said here, but it seems like a lot of effort to go through to highlight something that most of us already know. Just don’t watch. Oh, and head’s up - The Grammys are bullshit too.

I loved Griffey as a player and am looking forward to his induction. He should be a unanimous choice, but at least one of the writers will not include him, simply so he’s not. And although Barry Bonds isn’t a nice guy, and definitely did take steroids, he belongs in the Hall. The baseball HOF is full of racists,…
