The Jets saw Sam Darnold win a Super Bowl and said bring back Geno Smith

We asked Fernando Mendoza about his LinkedIn status at the #NFLCombine, and this is what he had to say 💀

#TexasHockey sorry bout it @ThomasPocrnic

The stories that will leak once everyone has been fired are going to be on another level.

Want chills? Want goosebumps? Listen to Jim Nantz welcome us into the 2025 NFL season. (via @NFLonCBS)

The trade is one for none. Which is to say I’m exchanging my semi-retired TSN life of the last five years — doing the World Junior Championships, NHL Draft Rankings, a handful of Toronto Maple Leaf broadcasts, TradeCentre and Free Agent Frenzy — for a fully-retired life of doing absolutely nothing. Well, nothing work related anyway. Today’s Free Agent Frenzy is the last working day in a 48-year professional career that included stops at The Sault Star, The Globe and Mail, The Hockey News (twice), The Toronto Star, TSN, ESPN and NBC, amongst others. It’s been quite a ride. I’ll be 69 years old in August. I decided a few months ago it’s as nice a time as any to call it a career with the expiry of my current contract. If I had been so inclined to continue doing the World Juniors and draft rankings etc. at TSN, the opportunity was certainly there for me to do so. And I’m so grateful to TSN for that. Honestly, though, I am looking forward to waking up on Christmas morning this year and NOT flying to Minneapolis-St. Paul for the World Juniors. I’m also looking forward to doing more travelling with my wife Cindy; having more time to give my sons Mike and Shawn unwanted (and unneeded) advice; playing even more golf than I am now; and having my two wonderful grandchildren Blake and Gunnar running my show on a full-time basis. After almost 50 years in the business, there are far too many people to thank individually, so I won’t even try to name any lest I leave some out. Just know that I’ve been blessed to work for, work with and work against so many great people who gave me boundless opportunity, incredible support and intense motivation. The nearly five decades have gone by in the blink of an eye. I certainly never set out to be the TSN Hockey Insider. It never occurred to me that I would work in television. All I wanted to be when I grew up was a hockey writer, to have a “job” to watch, write and talk about the game. You know, tell a few stories and try to capture the spirit of the thing. Mission accomplished, I guess. I couldn’t say goodbye now without a special thanks to everyone at TSN, past and present. I first started showing up on the network in or around 1986-87. In the 1990s, I was working full-time hours at TSN but still had a full time newspaper job, too. Since 2000, 25 years ago, TSN has been my primary professional home. It’s been a very special place on so many levels. The best part of TSN has always been the people. The best people doing the best work. What an honour to be one small part of the unsurpassed excellence that is TSN. Every time I’ve walked out of Studio Six at the end of Free Agent Frenzy on July 1, I’ve said to myself: “It doesn’t get any better than that.” And it doesn’t. That’s especially true on this Canada Day because I’m so very proud to be a Canadian. 🇨🇦 I’m a very lucky guy. I owe the game of hockey, and all the people within it — the players, coaches, managers, executives, scouts, agents et al — so much; I owe my family and friends even more.  Finally, thank you to anyone who has ever read, watched or listened to any of my work in any form at any outlet over the last 48 years. It’s been a privilege to share some information with you all, and try to have a few laughs along the way on social media or whatever they’re calling it these days. I’ve cherished it all. Fully Completely. ✌️and 💕  -30-

HOW CAN YOU NOT BE ROMANTIC ABOUT GOLF?

the conversations between russell wilson and jameis winston in the quarterback room need to be televised

Can't believe Lovie Smith went for 2 and ruined the Texans' shot at Bryce Young

Surely in the last two years this team has won multiple playoff games

"dont worry, he wont rush for like 2 thousand yards or anything"

This game should be played in color rush uniforms on Thursday Night Football presented by NFL Network with Jim Nantz and Phil Simms on the call

Dolphins lose a big game

Four completions LMAO

@Seoulman773 @CFLonTSN @LucaCelebre21 @CFL Thank you for the support and appreciation!!!

Two unsung heroes @CFLonTSN @LucaCelebre21 @ThomasPocrnic just wanted to give you some appreciation for the fantastic work you do on @CFL Wired! 👏🏻🍁🏈🏆

Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul…

The NFL needs to ban the Titans from letting their star players go to other teams😂 One of D-Hop or Henry are bringing their team to a Super Bowl.

Resident Fins fan @ThomasPocrnic joins us ahead of Miami's meeting with the Bills, in this week's edition of M&M's Huddle.
