Sandhill Crane in #Newfoundland. A very rare vagrant especially for winter. The colors were so amazing to witness first hand against the backdrop of a light snowfall. Easily the highlight of 2025 and it was day 2 lol #birding #photography #birds #nature #wildlife #nikon #z800 #canada #sandhillcrane

Wouldn’t be wrestling if he wasn’t. It’s what we all watch for. Whether *some* of us like it or not, all the competing companies are tied together. Drama knows no bounds and we all <i>mostly</i> watch it for the stories, the tall tales, and the drama. :-)

Yep. Tremendous momentum and mass all going in the same direction, and doing so rather awkwardly being two riders together. I couldn’t rewind to watch it but will be interested to see just how it unfolded.

Unreal scene to witness

Maybe I’m misremembering who it was.

Matthews being the exception because it was an extension. He’s already established and has some bias and pull to stay where he is rather than uproot his life. Plus in terms of winning a cup Toronto maybe gave him better odds than elsewhere. I’m not a hockey dude though.

Significant sure but not 0.01% elite in the league. At the same time they didn’t get Lindor that year and I remember Shulman being on the Fan saying it was “as good as done”

They’re dismissive not because they believe Toronto is a backwoods but because Toronto and Canada in general has a hard time attracting ANY big time player in ANY league. NBA nhl mlb. Doesn’t matter, top 0.01% FAs very, very rarely sign there.

Saw guys doing this in a WW2 plane back during the weekend of the most recent oshkosk. I forget the plane make itself (prob have a screenshot actually lol) The guts to do that flight is incredible.
