Lots of controversy about people cheering with Kevin Durant got re-injured during the Raptors game on Monday night. I have to be honest – my initial instinct was to cheer too, for a whole host of reasons: Since he’s one of the Warriors best players and a former two-time playoff MVP, I knew Durant being […]
Heading into the big game tomorrow where the Toronto Raptors could clinch their first NBA championship, I found a video that might be helpful to all the new bandwagon fans (er, guilty – though I was a pretty massive NBA fan back in the Michael Jordan/Isiah Thomas/Magic Johnson era of the late 1980’s/early 1990’s) […]
The Flames are out but I’m still watching NHL playoffs, especially with a bunch of games going to game seven and/or overtime which is always exciting. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sequence like the one that happened last night – Vegas Golden Knights leading the San Jose Sharks 3-0 with about ten […]

I occasionally do a post with my picks at the start of the NHL playoffs. I forgot to do so this year but it’s probably not worth it as quite a few series aren’t going the way I’d expected – my Calgary Flames are struggling after winning the Western Conference title in the regular season, […]
Her actual birthday is on Tuesday but we had great fun at Sasha’s “bowling birthday” today. (And as an aside, as someone who dabbles in creative writing, I love studying the ebbs and flows in the popularity of names from generation to generation.)
I saw this book in my library today and had a good chuckle. I mean, the Oilers sucked for the first couple years of their existence, they sucked for the last decade plus and they have as many sub-.500% seasons as ones where they’ve won more than they’ve lost. So, at best, it’s maybe 20 […]
Tonight’s Wrestlemania 35 was the first to have a main event featuring women wrestlers – Ronda Rousey who was a former star in UFC, Charlotte Flair who is the daughter of one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time and an accomplished athlete in her own right, and Becky Lynch who is the ultimate underdog but […]
