@TSNVicRauter @coachdavegg You will be missed! Enjoy your time! It will take curling a bit of time to recover.

Feeling a little like my favourite TSN hat.. little worn out..fraying at the edges..but still does the job. However..its time. Thank you.

@Robert44198952 @ScottFoxonair @Muskoka411 He may have but not the machine

@ScottFoxonair @Muskoka411 Did he survive?

This is insane …

Right now, somewhere near you, a parent is calling their 10-year-old a champion. A prodigy. The next one. They're wrong. And the science proves it. There are no ten-year-old champions. There are only kids who need space, time and joy to find out who they might become. I wrote the book on this. Literally. 👇 More on SPORTS THOUGHTS Substack waynegoldsmith.substack.com — and if this resonates, grab my book "The Talent Myth" on Amazon.

@Ianwpg @ztisdale I’ll wait….

@ztisdale name one freedom or right you don't have in Canada.

We do not have basic rights and freedoms here in Canada, unlike our American cousins. The 51st State is a liberation operation. 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇲

Coaches don’t just accept jobs. They move families, routines, and futures. If your interview process never addresses what daily life in your town and surrounding area actually looks like, you’re asking for uncertainty, and uncertainty kills good hires.

Nothing works. A parent asked me: "What's the single best thing I can do for my son? He's 13, he plays football, and I want to help him." I said: "Do nothing." She looked puzzled. "When I say DO NOTHING — I mean stop making his breakfast. Stop cleaning his boots. Stop packing his bag for training. Stop spending money on sports drinks and protein bars that don't work. Teach him to cook his own breakfast. Show him how to use a washing machine. Stick a checklist on his wall of everything he needs in his bag. Stop doing the things he can — and should — be doing for himself. The only thing you really need to give him is the most powerful thing of all: UNCONDITIONAL LOVE." What's the best "nothing" you can do for your sporting child today? #sportsthoughts #sportsparenting #youthsport #parentingtips #waynegoldsmith For free videos, podcasts and more waynegoldsmith.substack.com

@erik_thorvalds “Canadian National character”! Fuck you!

Do Canadians realize why the world is enraged and disgusted by Marc Kennedy? The fault was minor. The true crime was the cover-up. “I didn’t f***ing touch it!” he screamed despite being filmed in 4K; then he denied the video, doubled down, and accused Sweden of cheating for catching him. All it took to rectify was an apology in front of the cameras. Instead? No shame. No apology. Just entitled, obstinate preening and victimhood. That smarmy meltdown isn’t an outlier. It’s the Canadian national character in full bloom: entitled to the max and convinced of their own moral superiority while spitting on the Olympic spirit. That’s a bad look. No wonder everyone else sees the rot behind the Canadian politeness act. Many outside Canada say the sport he plays and the gold medal he won will forever be tainted 🥌 O Canada… We need to take a long look in the mirror 🤦🏼‍♂️

@BirkenholzTyler @oldpunker1 @MilenSub40 Stupid comment. As if it matters.

@oldpunker1 @MilenSub40 This dude is a big Carney can I bet.

I can see many Canadians trying to defend their curling-team and the cheating they did against Sweden. Actually, you are not winning this and I think the Canadian curling-team should apologize to all of you Canadians because they really make you look bad in the eyes of the world

@mikecommito My favourite books, but the Two Towers is even slower. Don’t even pick up the Simarilion lol

This is probably a blasphemous take but I read The Hobbit first and by comparison, I felt this one dragged a tad. Don’t get me wrong, an incredible genre-defining read, but the pacing of The Hobbit was so action-packed that it was a big adjustment shifting to the Fellowship.

@mrsunshinebaby You have no idea what you are talking about, but please, keep sounding like a bot.

In Canada, you can be scheduled to give birth tomorrow, and today still kill your child.

If you're a sports organization or an academic institution in our country, take a minute today to pay tribute to @KirstyDuncanPhD for her life work as an advocate for science, safe sport and learning.

@DemosKratosCA What a stupid bloody statement. Ignorance flooding from every pore of your being.

The GREATEST sports parents are those who let the coaches coach, the officials officiate, are their children’s biggest support system, and spend more time and energy focusing on their child’s character, work ethic, and education, than anything else. ~from @CoachKurtHines

💯💯💯 @kevineastman was the consummate assistant coach and an example for us all to follow

"Mediocrity has a million fans, but excellence has a million critics." -- Dr. Bhrett McCabe

All the best athletes I’ve coached didn’t have parents who treated them like they were the star in a sports movie. They supported. Focused more on character. Kept it fun.

@DannySpxp Basement in Sudbury Ontario!

Where's everybody watching from??? #WANTITALL

@alancross In addition to streaming. I have an extensive collection of digital music and use iTunes to get it on my phone for listening. I guess I use it to mange the music I have loaded on my phone. PS I’m old lol

This is ONLY for people who still use iTunes. If you DO NOT for any reason, please ignore this. I'm writing a column on today's iTunes users. 1. Why do you still use iTunes? What do you like about it? 2. Do you use it instead of or in addition to streaming? #iTunes
