Wow. Stunning free kick. Mexico deserves this win. Canada didn't do much at all. #canmnt #concacaf

Canada's set pieces continue to be...uninspiring. #canmnt #concacaf

Perfectly clean bodycheck by Bombito on the keeper. #canmnt #concacaf

25 per cent on aluminum and steel, but gold is priceless. #TeamCanada #fournations

From an American cousin: "I love that Auston Matthews left the slot and McDavid buried it from there. Even when Canada wins, the Leafs blow it." #fournations #teamcanada

Anyone surprised by this Vladdy news hasn't been paying attention. This has been in the cards since they started screwing around with his service time in his rookie season. #bluejays #mlb

Oh good, Binnington still doesn't know how to play the angles. #FourNations #teamcanada

I must be hallucinating -- coulda sworn the announcer just said "Marner, fighting for it in the corner." #fournations #teamcanada #leafs

Binnington is...not confidence-inspiring. #fournations #teamcanada

This feels like late-80s Canada-USSR. Electric. #fournations

Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs would boost inflation, hit businesses on both sides of border, experts warn. ‘We must retaliate immediately.’

Son just asked to see "wide right" on YouTube. If anyone needs me, I'll be curled up in the fetal position, muttering and weeping. #billsmafia #nfl

Wait until next year? Not if McDermott's still "coaching." #billsmafia #firemcdermott

Good coaches adjust with the circumstances. They don't just go on autopilot. #firemcdermott #billsmafia

Kincaid's drop hurt. The first down that they got screwed on hurt. But it was brutal play calls, and going back to the same tush push that was NOT working that killed them. #firemcdermott #billsmafia

Also? It's 2025. Fuck RIGHT off with that tomahawk chop chant. #firemcdermott #billsmafia #chiefs

Seriously. If McDermott isn't fired by the end of this week, screw this. #billsmafia #boycottpegula
January 27, 2025 at 2:51 AM
Fuck this. And fuck McDermott. #firemcdermott #billsmafia

Fire McDermott. He's wasting the prime years of a generational talent. Phony ass rah, rah bullshit. #firemcdermott #billsmafia
January 27, 2025 at 2:46 AM
Even if they pull this out, fire McDermott. #firemcdermott
