Shimmer was a banger. Actually, still is!

Bruce Arthur: The inside story of Canada Soccer’s financial breakthrough β€” and what it buys Soccer in Canada now has a chance to grow without unnecessary chaos or artificial constraints.

Canada Soccer's new deal with CSME - replacing the straightjacket CSB deal, which was the biggest problem in Canadian soccer for a while - is more than a revitalizing financial reality for Canada Soccer. Hopefully, it's the end of a civil war in the sport. www.thestar.com/sports/socce...

As a one time lazy pitcher, I can emphasize with being caught out of position… but WTF are you doing cutting that off? At the very least don’t make things worse

He wasn’t. Paxton shouldn’t have been there, and at least should have left it go

it's a little annoying when I see a post, come up with a good joke, and then see the poster in question has quote posts disabled. like I get it, I do, but now I'm going to have my dumb sunn o))) joke rattling around in my head because I couldn't set it free where it belongs

Is it just me or is the WBC pitchtracker seem to a ball or ball and a half wide of actual?

Isn’t that the key to a good lineup?

I mean, I don't like seeing Manitoba win... but when the other options are the Brads and Koe, they're the least objectionable option

I mean, they claimed Gushue's on account of a Newfie is almost a Prairie Newfie... so why not?!

But trading him straight up for Mike McEwan wasn't wise

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

Amazing Koe takes so much "thinking time" with so few rocks in play

I imagine CC calls all the shots and pays all the bills... including for the airtime

Probably why it's the only TSN property that doesn't look obviously cheaper.

Can’t say I blame Imlach. Can’t imagine spending three days sitting around waiting for the Commissioner to call you a handful of times.

With that much idle time, he’s lucky they weren’t up to more mischief

Would be really nice if this doesn’t turn into a blankfest… and unfortunately high possibility with these two

The whole east coast is pretty slim pickings now... and if the Quebec guys retire too, hoo boy

@avry.bsky.social Went down a weird rabbit hole, and came across the story of Taro Tsujimoto. Seems like that kinda thing you probably already know all about, or if not, would be interested in
