Excellente analyse. Pour moi, Pollock aurait du repeche Mike Bossy (15eme) au lieu de Mark Napier (10eme) en ‘77. Grant a ete victime du ‘numbers game).’ Grant a ete echange en ‘68; Gardner a ete repeche en ‘72, meme repechage que Steve Shutt. Ce n’etait pas vraiment Grant pour Gardner.

Not a coffee drinker. Not a morning person. Grateful we all have you to get up early, take copious notes, and report on these matches so we don’t have to. You rock, man. 🥌

Stephen Colbert Says It All So Well….

Oh, sure. Daniel Dale and his facts. La-di-da.

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

Ottawa residents, you can help support our blue friends in the US tomorrow outside the US embassy. Stay safe, don't take the bait from any Cons who might be there trying to cause problems and recording your reaction. #NoKings #NoKingsDay #CdnPoli #OnPoli #Protest

Leadership. Play on.

A classic, sans aucun doute. (Like the homer, no doubt about it.)

I believe Jordan lost that game, a 2OT loss.

Ohtani has sent a L-O-U-D message to the AL champions: welcome to L.A. Goodness!

Interesting, creepy concept. I’m no dating expert, but it seems to me that, whether you call it ‘shrekking ,’ ‘slumming it,’ or ‘settling,’ hanging out with someone you rate below your standards will have you vibrating with condescension until Boom! goes the dynamite. Lose-lose situation.

And there you have it..... in black and white and red if it ever mattered.

What happens when people with this much power see racial equality as an aberration to be corrected and white supremacy as the norm to be protected.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

Pierre Poilievre says he wants to “restore merit.” He needed to be handed arguably the safest, most impossible to lose conservative seat in all of Canada after losing his own seat.

Seems like the opposite of merit. #Poilievre

(oh, and he still refuses to complete a check for a security clearance)

Journalists should ask every Republican they encounter whether they consider the things said by these Young Republicans to be deplorable.

Looks like an excellent course taught by a great writer. Santa Cruz is a charming city, in the bargain.

Sleaziest ‘peace’ deal ever.

Donald Trump is a wartime president.

War on women.
War on voting rights.
War on Latinos.
War on California.
War on institutions.
War on history.

Brilliant.

A bit like the Scratch Race in track cycling, athletes jockeying for position for several laps before the final sprint to the finish line. Speed, endurance and tactics.

Also, this: “What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?” - C.L.R. James, Beyond a Boundary. Play on. 😉

I always smile at the ‘sports ball’ pejorative. But arts people? Hello? So much sublime writing about sports ball: Ring Lardner; F. Scott Fitzgerald; Bernard Malamud; John Updike; C.L.R. James (cricket); Nick Hornby (soccer); W.P. Kinsella. Damn Yankees (Broadway). Sport is culture, man. Come on.

Nicely done.

“Dishonest presidents should be entitled to no deference at all.” Bingo.

Good, old-fashioned ‘play it by ear,’ and ‘trial and error’ don’t cut it anymore? Yikes.

Vendredi au soir en ’97 à Châteauguay, excuse, Coaticook . . . Ouchy. Nicely done.
