Some career news:
Tomorrow is my first day with the team over at @CityNewsTO, where I'll be assisting with their broadcast news programs. Excited to get started!
Kazuma Okamoto hits the first Blue Jays homer into the 500 level since Josh Donaldson on May 30, 2017.
Brandon Lowe hit the previous two fifth-deck drives in Toronto, on July 25, 2024 and April 12, 2019.
I’ve seen a lot of reminiscing about OG’s time in Toronto but haven’t seen anybody post the single funniest thing he did there: his drawing of the OVO logo
Not to harp on the past too much but Raps trading OG and Pascal, but then not rebuilding properly made no sense lol
Just replaced them with worse players
KAT being the worst possible Wemby matchup makes you appreciate just how rare his skill set is. One of the best shooting bigs ever, but also a great rebounder, skilled driver, very good stationary passer, and has enough weight on him not to get pushed around. 1 of 1 talent.
This piece by @guardian is a masterclass in why old-school journalism will never die. You could easily lose 3 hours in this and still want more. https://t.co/P6xxOOo518
Victor Wembanyama’s agent says Wemby has turned down millions of dollars and will never endorse soda companies
"They all want him, but Victor will never sell soda. Because he doesn’t want to kill the kids."

On the one hand, FIFA says it will get so hot during some WC games that the players must take a 3min hydration break each half for their own safety. But on the other hand, it says fans can’t bring in their own water or a bottle to fill up with water. 🤔

The New York Knicks are four wins away from their first championship in 53 years and the only thing standing in their way is a 9-foot-tall French Shaolin alien.
One of two cliches will disintegrate in this year's NBA Finals:
Either the Spurs win, and people will no longer be able to claim you have to lose before you can win.
Or the Knicks win, and any insistence you can't win with a small guard as your best player goes away.
