I like to say this headline with the Ray Liotta in Goodfellas "biggest cash heist in American history" voice. buff.ly/2JkY1UE

The thing I'll remember and appreciate most about Babcock was his commitment to being the ultimate old-school hardass while at the same time choosing to dye his hair that absolutely gorgeous shade of chestnut brown.

Love the moment in that commercial where the millennial brother says with such disdain to his older gen-x brother "you're not still investing with mom and dad's guy, ARE YOU?!" and it just cuts the guy to his absolute core

Just did the patented Niagara Falls dad move where you order pizza and wings from a bar and intentionally show up 10 minutes early so you can have a beer. Guy next to me did the exact same thing but ordered a beer and 2 shots. Legend.

Being the first country to boycott these Olympics is a pretty savvy play. You knew it would be applauded because other countries were clearly mulling it too. But now we get all the credit. And there's no real risk b/c, based on what the IOC said today, 2020 ain't happening anyway

There are more questions than answers right now, but in today's newsletter we address some of the unavoidable challenges that lie ahead: cbc.ca/1.5508156

This is a challenge unlike anything the Olympics — or anyone in sports — has faced before. And there's no blueprint for how to pull it off cbc.ca/1.5508156

When this is over and we try to get back to normal I'm really looking forward to explaining to the 4-year-old that he's no longer allowed to watch 6 hours of cartoons a day or drink half a litre of orange juice because "the germs are gone now."

1992-93 NHL season: Lemieux misses 2 months with Hodgkin's, still wins the scoring title by 12 points. One of the great achievements in sports history. Not a unanimous Hart pick, though. 1 vote short. Someone went Lafontaine. Feel like Jerry Sullivan might know who. Or WGR 550.

I wrote something. About the power of words. And the weight homophobic slurs carry: cbc.ca/sports/sports-…

Marco Rossi is the name of every single kid who went to my Catholic high school from 1996-2000.

Loved this so did it w/ NHL goals: Trump: Ovechkin 160 Obama: Ovechkin 352 W Bush: Iginla 287 Clinton: Jagr 336 HW Bush: Brett Hull 279 Reagan: Gretzky 540 Carter: Bossy 221 Ford: Lafleur 145 Nixon: Esposito 328 Johnson: Bobby Hull 248 Kennedy: Bobby Hull 105 Eisenhower: Howe 267

TOUCH 'EM ALL, JOE!

These are all so good. A phenomenal idea executed to perfection. Can't wait for the Mayday Goal. (yes, this is me putting pressure on Rob)
