What an incredible and well deserved honour. Robin was my guest on episode 45 of @CurlingLegends Podcast. One of my favourite talks.
We are honoured to name the First Team All-Star award after Robin Wilson. Learn more about her impact on Canadian women's curling from this TSN montage. #STOH2024

Not Gen Z but the most difficult part of Zach Lowe being let go is the de-emphasis on what makes sports so great. Listening to experts who are passionate and intelligent about what they study will always trump a hot take constructed to get a rise out of a ton of people.
ESPN is wrong about what type of NBA content they think Gen Z wants trib.al/vDZJkLt

After 12 extraordinary years, today is my last day to work at CBS Sports.
That is a surprisingly difficult thing for me to type. It has been a dream job in so many different ways.
I will write more about that experience and what's next for me in the Normal Sport newsletter starting tomorrow.
To read about all of that, you can sign up right here.
❤️ you all.

Sad news about Peter Oosterhuis’ death. He graced the game with his play and his television commentary. Such a kind man. It was always a pleasure to chat with and write about Oosty, especially when he won the ‘81 Canadian Open.
This is the kind of stuff that could save the site formerly known as Twitter. Well done as always Shane.
Why didn't Rory want to hold the Irish flag while singing with Lowry? Since people seemed interested in the tweet below, I made a video explaining the historical and political significance of the moment. The editing is remedial, sorry, but you might find it interesting.

An accomplished curler, Bob skipped Newfoundland at the Brier in 1971 and 1975. He was my guest on episode 32 of @CurlingLegends Podcast. RIP curling.libsyn.com/episode-3…

Really enjoyed my @CurlingLegends talk with Barry. In particular, the stories from his senior team with Ray Turnbull and Don Duguid and playing with Dr. "Fargo" Joe Zbacnik are priceless.
Today I was sent this podcast that my dad did a few years back, I had never heard it. The Snake loved to tell a story, listening to him brought back some really good memories and I wanted to share for anyone interested. Unreal day for a chat pop ❤️🥹
