If anyone asks why John Madden was the GOAT, just show them this:

[Bruno Boudreau @BrunoBoudreau]

@DanRichard_RDS 100% d’accord avec toi. Il est toujours au rendez-vous et il l’était encore hier. Il a transporté les Oilers à deux finales. Mais j’ai l’impression que quand la pression atteint son maximum il est plus à l’aise dans son rôle de joueur dominant que de leader.

Rest in Peace, Terry Bollea aka The Immortal Hulk Hogan 🕊️💐

To millions of little kids you were a childhood hero - myself included.
In 1984, I gave you your “HULKSTER” headband back, in the locker room in Madison Square Garden - I was the lucky kid caught it when you threw it in the crowd. You were wrestling “Mr Wonderful”, Paul Orndorff that night in the main event. You were shocked and so happy after the match because you told me that was your very last headband and if it weren’t for me, you’d have no way of getting that exact one made again. You promised me that you would get more made and give me a Hulkster headband of my own as a thank you gift.

A month later in Madison Square Garden, you did just that. You kept your word, with a handshake and a “thanks kid”.
And that meant the world to that little 12 year old boy.

Just 17 years later, and still a kid at the age of 29 years old — I’m standing in the middle of the ring and facing you - one of my wrestling heroes in the main event of WRESTLEMANIA.

The match was to decide who would go down in history, as The Greatest of All Time.

When you kick out of my Rock Bottom finisher - just listen and FEEL that crowd go ELECTRIC…
all for you. I’ve never felt anything like that in my entire wrestling career. It takes two to tango, but that historic crowd reaction was all for you.

You may have “passed the torch” to me that night, but you, my friend….

… you “drew the house” meaning you sold out every arena and stadium across the country in your prime as Hulk Hogan, on your way of becoming the greatest of all time.

From deep in my bones, and on behalf of this wild and crazy world of professional wrestling that we love, I say to you now, and forever…

Thank you for the house, brother…

Thank you, for the house.

RIP Terry Bollea aka Hulk Hogan 🕊️

I’ll see you again, Hulkster . . .

[Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie]

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.

On critique souvent (et avec raison) la structure salariale de la MLB mais nous voyons encore cette année la fameuse « parité » artificielle des ligues à plafond salarial comme la LNH ou la NFL. 3 équipes de retour en finale de conférence encore ce printemps… #StanleyCup

2007: Lost as 12.5 point favorite in SB 42

2009: 3 INT's & 49.1 Rating in 19 point home loss

2017: Lost as 4.5 point favorites, good stats but had crucial dropped pass & game losing fumble

2019: Lost as 4.5 point favorite, threw 0 TD & 59.4 Rating with pick-6 in last game in NE.

2021: Lost as 3 point favorite, 1 TD & 2 turnovers, 72.2 Rating in home loss to Rams.

2022: Lost final career game putting up a putrid 72.2 Rating in a 17 point loss.

@AlexTetreault_ Honnêtement la défensive des Chiefs a été sommes toute assez bonne, c’est vraiment l’offensive de KC qui a été responsable de ces 40 pts. Barkley a été neutralisé, quelques gros jeux des Eagles mais sans plus, sans oublier le pick six qui compte pas contre la D.

[Brandon McCarthy @BMcCarthy32]

Personally, I'm getting sick of baseball's financial structure. Give us a salary cap so we can have parity like the NFL!
