For something to be called poutine, it should have fresh cheese curds that still have a noticeable “squeak”. Getting curds that fresh in Canada outside of Quebec is quite difficult. I would bet that the poutine from the London market reference in the Times article is a hundred times better than any poutine served in…

What’s your definition of the Anglosphere? The US and Canada? Does it include the UK? South Africa? Nigeria? Ghana? India, (who, while not good at soccer, are a big television market for the game)?

This has to be about e-Sports right?

Not to be all Darren Rovell, when was that picture taken? I’m sure Nike would not be thrilled that the head of the USSF is in Adidas branded clothing?

There’s a Super 8 built into one of the Chinatown malls. There’s also Hotel Ocho which is a mid-budget boutique hotel.

As a Toronto sports fan, how will I know “the ethnics are ruining the game” on non-Saturday nights?

Best athlete to host IMO.

True cornbread should just have corn meal in it, no flour. So technically real deal cornbread is gluten free, it just isn’t annoying about it.

Two takes from a Toronto-area soccer fan:

It’s a semi-autobiographical look into the life of Maria Bamford who has bipolar II. I wouldn’t describe the show as cynical, it’s pretty uplifting but it can be depressing at times. However, the victories Maria does make are worth it. It’s also really funny. Mary Kay Place is especially good this season.

This was really great to read. As a Toronto fan, my overall experience and memories of Halladay are obviously different, but my all time favourite Doc moment was him pitching the no-hitter on his playoff debut.

She is so funny in Broad City. I’m a little sad Ilana doesn’t work beside her anymore.

Ouch! Right in the Mighty Taco!

Missing a couple of ads.

Good tweet.

He’s also a racist.

Kelly Oubre seems like an asshole.

Better Southeast Asian soccer highlight from this week:

If Italy fail to qualify to the World Cup, do they finally reconsider their stance on Giovinco?

Fargo is also responsible for bringing Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons together.
