Gutted about the passing of Rickey Henderson.
The greatest leadoff hitter, basestealer and runscorer of all time.
He made every team he was on immediately better.
When he joined the Blue Jays in 1993, he did that again. He was on base when Joe Carter hit the Series-winning walkoff homer.
RIP.

CURLING ANNOUNCEMENT:
After careful consideration, I would like to announce that I remain happily retired from competitive play. As such, I will not be joining teams with vacancies.
I trust the rumour mills will now quiet, and incessant calls from media on this topic may now cease.
Good curling.

Where's the quickest ice you ever played on?
Back in the days of running time time clocks, sometimes when it was super-quick you had to be careful throwing too many draws - the shots could take nearly 30 seconds to get down the ice.

I'm a bit conflicted about my Toronto Maple Leafs. They're playing pretty great - without Auston Matthews.
