The NFL is back tonight! Yahoo! Very exciting! I'll be watching all of it, as we all love to do here. I'm just glad the the CFL has mostly come to their senses about game scheduling during the fall season when the big league is back in session; they're finally

After over three and a half weeks away, I’m back in Ontario at long last - this time as a married man. We had an absolutely fabulous vacation and an even better party - I had enough drinks and donairs in me that the wedding band insisted I had to

The Party’s Over… For Now, At Least: Your 2024 New England Patriots Season Preview

The Maestro - August 22, 2024August 15, 2024

Last season was the nadir of the New England Patriots. It had to be. It MUST be. After utter disaster on the field and the departure of the greatest head coach in the history of football, it was clearly time for a complete and total rebuild of the entire organization.

My wedding's in two days. The chances of watching this week's slate of games is close to zero, but this is why push notifications for scores were invented. At least it's been a beautiful weather week here out east. I look forward to things calming down soon so I can

There’s been a lot of fiddle music in my life this past week out here in southern Nova Scotia. With just over a week to go before our wedding, we’ve been trying our best to relax before everything hits the fan all at once. At least there's always some football

Week one of vacation has been lovely as always. With the beautiful red sands of PEI so warm and friendly, we’ve made our way to beautiful Halifax to see family and buy hundreds of dollars worth of bulk liquor to get the wedding bar prepared. Sharkbait, I also have a

I'm leaving in just a few days for the East Coast for a whole month of vacation. I sure hope I'll be able to keep sneaking away for football watching - but that time difference, especially for watching those West Coast games, is killer - that 11 PM start time

I have just two days left of work this summer. If I can also get this stupid summer course knocked off soon, my vacation is then truly right around the corner. So, so close. If the weather holds, you'll probably catch me back for the second week in a row

The Maestro - July 18, 2024July 21, 2024

I've almost made it through two weeks of summer camp, and as a treat, I intend to go to the REDBLACKS game on Friday night and drink a copious amount of beer while sitting on the Lansdowne hill. Buying a ticket is, of course, the best move, but there's a

I hear the rain is supposed to stop soon. This is a welcome development to me. Although we are not nearly as battered as the Caribbean and American south have been up to this point, it becomes a major pain in the ass to have to deal with rain delays

The Maestro - July 4, 2024July 3, 2024

I've spent a lot of time in nature this past week. Thank the Lord for 5G internet. Nothing like a gentle breeze, a perfect campfire, a cold beer, a good book... and the joys of following sports news from the comfort of your phone. Back to civilization later today -

The Maestro - June 27, 2024June 26, 2024

School is finally out for me, and we're heading into a long weekend with a full slate of CFL action this week. I'll be camping on my private island (well, I suppose in theory it belongs technically to Charles II, but I digress), and will be following along on internet
