So it rained all day yesterday and then dropped to -15C and snowed as well overnight. Your hero (me) was walking down the steps of the porch towards the vehicles this morning and my feet betrayed me. My lower back slammed into the edge of one of the steps and I was howling. Thing is, I had two un-cancel-able in-person meetings today so it was Tylenol and gasping all day long.
Some good news?: Turns out my niece is the best slalom skier in all of Ontario in her age group today. That’s so cool. I’m so proud.
To The News!
Hold Me, I’m Scared: The Bears have actually gone out and fortified their offensive line! More than adequate Joe Thuney will be protecting Caleb next year. If he only gets sacked 60% of the time that he experienced as a rookie that would be a massive progress.
We’re at the part of the offseason where I enjoy mock draft reporting about as much as a mock chicken loaf sandy with extra mayo on Wonderbread. It would seem that the NY media has come to the consensus that Cam Ward is going to the Giants. This is like the Toronto media deciding that the Leafs need to acquire a 2nd-line center as the trade deadline looms. So there’s the narrative, hanging in the air, created by the media. And if it doesn’t happen? TORONTO/GIANTS SWING AND MISS headlines as far as the eye can see and D- grades the day after. Fuck. Off.
Deebo for a 5th rounder seems like a sweet deal-if it was made three years ago. The most TD’s he’s ever had in a season was 13 and that was (ta da!) three years ago. Plus, his value came from his willingness to run the ball out of creative formations. He’s not that guy anymore. His aggressive running style has taken a toll on his body. He’s 29. He has difficulty getting separation. Need I go on?
Poor Tank Dell-his leg injury was so devastating that he’s just getting his ACL repaired this week. See you in ’26, my favourite widdle 168 pounder. The Texans see the writing on the wall and picked up Christian Kirk-which was kinda stupid because he was the most obvious cap-related released player aside from Joey Bosa and Bingo!, look what happened to him yesterday. The Texans gave away a 7th round draft pick in ’26 which is the equivalent to a bag of peanuts (unshelled!) so, whatever.
Good hockey teams playing tonight include Tampa, Florida, Winnypeg, Cackolina and Dallas.
Send serious painkillers, please. The address is Scotchy, Northern Ontario. It’ll find its way here eventually.
