Living the dream.

Sentenced to following the Minnesota Vikings, but never Kirk Cousins. Jade's uncle. Losing parlays + props since 1998.

Likely on a plane or at a stadium.

A zero-star prospect out of high school just became the No. 1 pick of 2025 NFL Draft.

What a message Cam Ward has sent to young athletes (and the rest of us for that matter): you can still become so much bigger and better and more accomplished than where you may be today.

Well worth the wait to take the Grey Cup trophy to The Hospital for Sick Children this holiday weekend with Argos head coach Ryan Dinwiddie. What an eye-opening experience.

Some future champs in that place promised not to turn down my interview requests when they lift that sucker on their own!

It really is one of the great days on the sports calendar.

The Boswell line of, "time begins on opening day" is real in our little sports universe. So wherever, and however, you may opening day, happy opening day everyone.

The eleventh 40-point show this season from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander comes on national TV in OKC's total beatdown of Denver, the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.

The final brushstroke to an MVP regular season for a Canadian who somehow still kinda remains in the shadows domestically.

This is the year Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will separate himself from the rest as the best player in the NBA.

The MVP awaits him; OKC has the league's best record; SGA is launching a new shoe at this All-Star weekend.

Here, the Canadian megastar reflects on it - www.sportsnet.ca/nba/video/it...

Congrats to Bishop's University alum, Tony Biancosino for hosting the most exclusive post-Super Bowl bash in all of New Orleans. If you are ever in The Big Easy, St. Pizza is a must. Just ask Saquon, OBJ, DiCaprio and the rest -- people.com/inside-saquo...

Best player on the football field in the first half: Josh Sweat.

Having just an exceptional game.

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

Is there anything more on-brand than 5-12 quarterback Aaron Rodgers making Super Bowl Sunday about himself?

How can Super Bowl LIX be won for the Eagles? If the KC defense deploys the way I expect them to, the middle of the field should have room to maneuver. Which is why this could be the path to victory for Philadelphia -- www.sportsnet.ca/nfl/video/wh...

Cam Jordan, a Saints DL fixture since 2011, faced KC & Philly this year. Early in his career had Steve Spagnuolo as defensive coordinator.

We connected at the terrific St. Pizza Tavern in New Orleans to talk ball & breakdown this Super Bowl matchup.

You are looking live inside the Superdome, about an hour away from Super Bowl Opening Night here in New Orleans --

This won't happen, with the ongoing litigation - to say nothing of cheap ownership - but what Buffalo needs to do is call Jon Gruden and offer him the job. Get him with Josh Allen, and go.

This was the Bills' best chance to dethrone KC and still the same result. It's time to rip the bandaid off.

When we landed in KC late last night, all you heard on a quiet plane was one voice that uttered, "hey, hey, hey hey..."

The next thing you knew, on a flight that included a few dozen Bills fans, people fully broke out singing 'SHOUT!'

What a scene Arrowhead will be today.

Heading to KC to cover the AFC title game, and if Pearson Airport is any indication, there should be no shortage of Bills fans there. So many throwback Buffalo jackets, Apex and Starter logos. Strangers having nervous football convos together. So fun.

What a scene it'll be at Arrowhead tomorrow.

As reported a while back, Harris joining the Saskatchewan coaching staff has been in the works for well over a year now.

Now, it will happen for the 2025 season.

Can't imagine what could be better on Boxing Day night than watching pro football, with a college game as the side dish to flip between.

Happy holidays, indeed, everyone.
