Someone tell Judd Serrot to stop calling the games against the Leafs using their Goalie’s name. Constantly hearing “shot, Stolarz! With the save”

This Four Nations National anthem situation is straight from Shoresy. Intentionally bringing out a terrible singer for the other country’s anthem while fully doing it big for your own. Kind of hilarious

again, this is where the NHL reigns supreme: trophy to the players first, never the owners first

Oh boy. Chiefs already getting calls that no other teams would

Seeing these democratic senators at protests is a little like being at a game and having the refs sit next to you in the stands as you both yell about all the uncalled penalties in the game.

first the pardons and now the super bowl, huge week for eagles fans

When the Patriots were a dynasty, they never got the benefit of controversial calls. These Chiefs, though. My god. Clearly the NFL wants a certain team to win. Mahomes will never be Brady.

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

Tom Morello was right. And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era. It is time to organize. Our government is not failing us, it is actively trying to destroy us. #ResistForRealThisTIme

My kids are always impressed at my typing speed whenever they hear my keyboard going. Little do they know, a solid 75% of those keystrokes are just me hitting backspace repeatedly

It took me way too long, but I finally watched the movie Miracle. Damn that was good. Hit me right in the feels. My kids even payed attention for a few minutes of it!

I’m currently reading The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson. First, only about 10% in and it’s fantastic, like all his books. But more importantly, I can’t help but think about how things would be if we did let the south secede. North USA would probably be amazing right now

I swear, every time my phone sends me an Apple News alert, the first thing that goes through my head is “please tell me he died”. Sadly it’s always just another piece of stupidity

I hate this lack of hockey tonight. Never mind the Bruins, but the Fleet haven’t played in forever. Come on

The other night I heard my 8 year old say to his sister during a Mariokart race: “You will not win this race, you jackass!” Maybe I’ve let him watch Happy Gilmore a few too many times

Someone needs to come up with like an index or legend matching the shapes of plates and bowls with dishwasher racks. Let’s all get on the same page here, yeah?

As a kids hockey coach, one of my favorite things I’ve learned from Ted Lasso is that you really can just tell out “Whistle!” and they all stop what they’re doing. It’s truly just as effective as a real whistle

Can we talk about how awesome ska music is? Every 12-18 months I bust out some late 90s 3rd wave and it does nothing but make me happy. #lessthanjake #reelbigfish #thehippos
