I love rugby, cricket, and soccer. My music tastes are obscure (somewhat niche and mostly outdated).

Edmonton, Alberta #yeg #CanPL #ccmsky
Two days.

Third shortest test match ever.

Cheers to Travis Head.

#Ashes2025
This first ashes test is going be only three days isn't it?

An absolute showdown of bowlers.

This is the most important aspect of having this league be successful. The right facility is a literal make or break for the long term success of a club.

After that is ownership that truly cares about the sport and that specific community.

#CanPL
Shame about #ValourFC but we all saw the writing on the wall long ago. Having been twice, I can say that stadium is way too big for a #CanPL team to operate. Ownership not understanding or marketing the product didn't help either. If a team goes back there, steer clear of that facility.

Valour joins Edmonton as a great market, but needing the correct infrastructure before that can happen.

Pacific use Canada Rugby's home field, but is the correct size.

Calgary use an equestrian centre, but the right size.

Halifax have a perfect setup.

#CanPL
Valour FC has folded.

“Investing wisely means focusing resources where they create the greatest long-term impact for the League… there is no sustainable path forward for Valour FC at this time,” says a statement from the CPL.

#CanPL loses another first-year club.

They got me an emo Elmo cake!

I am so happy.

Hey Tom,

If the Halls of Mandos are in Valinor and that is where the elves sail, does it matter if they die in middle earth?

Wouldn't that just be a shortcut to Valinor?

This Grey Cup has been fun.

Man, I want Saskatchewan to win this.

My relationship with soccer is unhealthy.

I like precious few teams. Outside of Canada, Ireland, and Scotland I hate every national team and hope they all die of terrible disease.*

*not actually

I even hate Wales despite, you know, being Irish and Welsh. My surname is Welsh.

I actually feel bad for the Blue Jackets today.

The Oilers have had an entire fanbase hand-wringing for the last forty-eight hours.

The Oilers are going to be playing like their careers rely on tonight.

Alaska probably makes up for 400 of the 500 outdoor US rinks.

My hometown of Eagle River had seven outdoor rinks in the 80s/90s.
Did you know?

#Canada has approximately 2,860 indoor hockey rinks and over 5,000 outdoor hockey rinks. (7,860) total

#USA has approximately 2,101 indoor hockey rinks and 500 outdoor hockey rinks. (2,601) Total

The wipeout after the goal to faceplant in the berm is... *chef's kiss*

All cozy in mah wee den.

There is some snow on the ground in Edmonton as well.

This feels perfect.

I am going to make tea and alternate between tea and whisky.

#CanPL
Tied at the end of 90 mins. Extra time coming for the Canadian Premier League final...

After a 40 minute break to... Plow the field! 😅

My anxiety right now is wretched.

Minimal damage is bleeding ulcers.

Legitimately nervous about this Jays game.

I am so conditioned to have the team I am cheering for lose in important games.

Funeral and a wake today for my friend's father

Cancer took him far too early, but his last moments were with my buddy curled up to his father in the hospital bed, and I can't think of a better way for a father to leave this world

Someday I hope that one of my children will cuddle me one last time

This was my exact thought even before today's game.

The arrogance has been insufferable.

Whoever creates a gaming console that returns to physical media only, will win in the long term.

The only online aspect is to play multiplayer.

No online shop, no streaming options, no game passes, no subscriptions whatsoever. Just a machine that takes physical games, mysic cds, and movies.

Caufield is punching the Oilers directly in the face.
