Comms guy turned educator, of sorts. Mostly here for sports, music and dad brags but the siren song of politics and righteous fury will likely prove impossible to ignore.

I delete my old posts somewhat regularly. So if there's not much here that's why.
Anyone have eyes on Darcy McGees? Any MPs taking too long to settle their bills?

They said the commissioner was on stage to hand out hardware, he got heartily booed, but he's not actually there?

Can't believe Carney rigged the coin toss in favour of SK. Pandering much?

*waves at his friend Nathalie carrying the Grey Cup on the field*

Look, corporate tie ins are stupid but if we HAVE to have them it's neat that I know the person carrying the Grey Cup

Respect to OLP for opening with Starseed. Elder millennial representation is so important.

Gonna be wild when Henry Burris runs out in a Riders jersey for the coin toss and Harris has to watch from the bench

Roast beef smothered with horseradish alongside roasted potatoes and carrots and a glass of the second-cheapest Cabernet Sauvignon the grocery store carries. Bring on the Grey Cup.

Orlando Pride are on TSN5, if anyone wants to get on the bandwagon. A win today and they're back in the NSWL final and playing for their second straight championship.

I'm making a chili with lentils as the base and I just dropped one on the counter, picked it up and said "I guess you could say I have my finger on the pulse" but @amyboughner.bsky.social is napping and the teen is upstairs. Like what good is an epic Dad joke if nobody is there to listen?

Quinn winning this is so special. They came home to help build this league and now they’re a first ever NSL Champion!!
AFC Toronto dominated the season .. breakout stars Esther Okoronkwo and Kaylee Hunter..

And Vancouver Rise uses their mistakes against them and takes the inaugural Northern Super League trophy..

Love this for Quinn most of all, one of several national vets who came home for this league.

MLS saw that CPL final in the snow and said "yea, let's have more of that"
BREAKING NEWS: MLS owners have officially voted to flip to a fall-to-spring season, aligning with top leagues around the world, per @paultenorio.bsky.social.

The league will begin play in the new format in 2027.

Shit's bleak, weather's bleak, life is bleak... fuck it.

Drop a recent accomplishment below and I - a certified Dad - will tell you that I am proud of you for it. Other Dads feel free to jump in. Let's bring some proud-ass Dad energy to the timeline

Also, I needed "night sight" to pick it up but we've got some aurora borealis going on tonight

Just turned the game on and we're already winning? AND Kenzie's on the call?

Not even these sweaters can offset those vibes.

Specifically Fozzie Bear.
Easy solution: The next James Bond is a Muppet.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

The teen and I watched some beach soccer earlier this year and we watched one player basically juggle the ball while he ran up the pitch to get around the whole "the ball doesn't move" thing. Maybe they need to try that.

This is honestly one of the most amazing goals I've ever seen.
FIFA Puskas Award nominee at the #CanPL final, why the heck not 🥶🚲

Bicycle kick goal in a blizzard? That was fucking crazy!

So how does the CPL get a camera position on the north side when the NSL only ever had the south stand location? Rapid games always looked sparsely attended because the camera was in the same stand as the fans were sitting.

@schreids.bsky.social can you demand answers please?

Watching the Canadian men's premier league final and they are taking breaks to shovel the pitch. The keeper is helping. We are a stereotype.
November 9, 2025 at 10:40 PM
Wait KC lost? I haven't followed the NWSL as closely this year, admittedly, but they sort of cruised to the shield didn't they?
