The Detroit Red Wings have switched between various iterations of the Western and Eastern conferences. Their recent successes all happened as members of the Western Conference, but they are currently in the East.

Did Grant Wahl predict the USMNT winning a World Cup?

Christ, I can’t believe I’m defending Ted Cruz, but the guy moved to Texas when he was 4. The whole “he’s from Alberta” thing is really silly.

What the hell are the Gators wearing?

What the hell is up with Sergio Romero and his goal kicks?

This would have been really handy a couple months back when my local bar trivia night had an entire round devoted to diner slang.

Fast food/fast casual restaurants are probably more cleaner than mom and pop/independent restaurants. The oversight of corporate HQ makes franchisees be sticklers for following the correct procedures.

Some were burned at the stake.

He did. He would regularly have “techie” people on his podcast for a while, but ever since Deadspin called him out for his boosterism of the LA Olympics and ties to Casey Wasserman, he has seemed to stop.

That appears to be a legit NFL Nike jersey. Do they make generic jerseys without team designations?

That Alison Herman-Bojack article is really good; as is her piece on Broad City that also came out this week.

My issue is with shows that could very easily be set in Toronto but aren’t in favour of a generic setting. Why can’t Orphan Black be set in…

Brampton is not overcrowded. The city keeps getting bigger in terms of area, which of course, isn’t necessarily a good thing. 

Too bad the Canadian HGTV (most of them are actually from the W Network) shows aren’t as proud to be “Canadian”. The lack of specificity in these shows in terms of neighbourhoods or even city is one of the reasons why I can’t stand them. A Canadian real estate show would say things like “in an up and coming…

One of the (possible) reasons why The Rock doesn’t identify as much with his Black heritage is that his Black father is a Black Nova Scotian. They have a really interesting history as they can trace their origins to being Empire Loyalists during the American Revolution or the Underground Railroad. Based on my…

Raef LaFrentz. I loved those early 2000s Mavericks teams.
