The strongest rebuke of Trump’s 51st state rhetoric from a Canadian sports figure comes from the American coach of our men’s national soccer team. www.tsn.ca/soccer/jesse...

What a pass by Doughty. McDavid doing what he does.

Not sure Michelle Kwan knew what she signed up for tonight.

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show is officially the MOST watched performance EVER — 133.5 MILLION VIEWERS🚨 It surpasses Michael Jackson’s Halftime show 🤯

A (probably empty) threat to occupy Gaza at an evening presser is a very convenient way to overshadow this vital story: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Anthony Edwards on Luka Doncic: "They traded probably the best scorer in the NBA at 25, and he didn't know about it. It's a lot more digging somebody got to do to find out why he got traded. Because you don't just trade him at 25."

How do the Hawks come out of this with just a third rounder?

My work view much different today with the demolition of Dunsmuir House.

The Free Press is hiring! We're looking for an experienced, creative journalist to lead our sports team as we cover everything from amateur athletes to the city’s pro teams and major events like the Olympics. Job posting: www.winnipegfreepress.com/job-opportun...

Marie-Philip Poulin looks emotional as the starting lineups are read. Captain Clutch joked yesterday she’d likely get a bit misty pre-game because she’s “getting old.” Also said these games are a privilege. #pwhl

Marie-Philip Poulin says she still gets emotional for every big PWHL crowd: “I think I’m getting old and maybe getting a little softer. It’s always such a privilege to be in these big crowds. I don’t take it for granted — I think they’re the best moments.”

My local 7-Eleven locks just about everything up now. It started with just drinks and has now expanded to the candy aisles. Asking the cashier to unlock your late-night 7-Eleven haul is a new level of shame.

Canada's 4x100 relay team that raced to a surprising gold medal at the Paris Olympics has been named The Canadian Press team of the year. @danielrainbird.bsky.social had an evocative lead to the story on how they did it and what it meant to Canadians ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/cp-news...

ATTN: CANADA SPORTS TYPES: I've put together an initial Canadian Sports Media Starter pack. If you are not here, please know it's nothing personal. Just my best attempt at an initial run. I'll keep updating the list. This is Part I and there will def. be a Part 2. bsky.app/starter-pack...

2024 was a tough year for Canada’s women’s basketball team. I talked to interim head of high performance Steve Baur about the program. He’s optimistic about its future. www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7417805

The NBA doesn't have a 3 pt shot problem. 3's have skyrocketed this yr because it's the most protected shot. Inside the 3 line, there can be all kinds of contact. Outside the 3 line, you can't even be in the "landing zone", and most guys just fly by to contest. Of course there are more 3s

Oleksandr Usyk dedicated his second win over Tyson Fury to his mother and all mothers of Ukraine.

Good times.

Basketball has never been bigger in Canada. For the first of my three year-end stories I looked at the ups and downs of Canadians in the NBA www.cbc.ca/sports/baske...

Elves on strike now?

Former Toronto Raptors backup centre Jontay Porter will be sentenced tomorrow after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud charges back in July. I spoke with a legal expert on gaming on what Porter -- and Raptors fans -- should expect ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/former-...

Kiefer Sherwood was a thorn in the Vancouver Canucks’ side last spring. Eight months later, the feisty winger has bloomed into one of the team’s top forwards. #canucks www.thespec.com/sports/hocke...

Old School Reality TV featuring Gump Worsley. #NYR (🎥 You Asked For It)

This Terry Sawchuk photo that Amazon Prime just showed on its Oilers-Panthers broadcast featured “re-created” scars created by a makeup artist. It was not presented as a recreation on the broadcast.

One additional note: I know the CBC has a target from many in Canada. And CBC top execs taking bonuses in previous years is foul IMO. No minds ever get changed on social media but I come from a land where cable news has become so corrosive for Americans. So I hope enough Canadians value this.

What an outrageous goal from Nazem Kadri the other night 😵‍💫 On the short list for Goal of the Year? 📝 📺: @FlaPanthers vs. @NHLFlames TONIGHT at 10p ET on @Sportsnet or stream on Sportsnet+

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

Brooke Henderson and Corey Conners spent some formative years together on Golf Canada's junior team. They rarely get to play together now that they're pros, but the Grant Thornton Invitational is an exception. The two Canadians are teaming up again at the event ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/old-fri...

I did a deep dive into the John Stockton fake assist allegations. Here's my fact check, and who is ahead between Stockton/Chris Paul in all-time assists after you adjust for 90's scorekeeping: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

Wild video from the police shooting on Robson Street today. VPD say they shot a suspect who stabbed a “number of people.” www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/video-from-s...

There’s nothing like a celebrity thumbs-up to make Winnipeg feel like a somebody.

As the Fifth Estate host Bob McKeown prepares to retire after 53 years in #journalism, he looks back at a career that includes being punched in the face at an interview, bitten by a shark on camera and threatened with prison time for his work. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... via @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social

Prague's Kafka International Named Most Alienating Airport

BENNEDICT MATHURIN… HOW???

I am outside the ancient Verona Arena which is set to host the 2026 Olympics closing ceremony. Hard to believe they’ll squeeze in the retractable dome and Jumbotron, but we’ll trust the vision.

Milan wasn’t truly the world’s fashion capital until I got here.

I'm a guest lecturer at UVic this term. Unlike this asshole instructor, I appreciate students may have had a rough night. Also, if you don't like bat flips in baseball, don't pitch gopher balls. If you don't like students sleeping in class, don't drone on and on.
