A sports fan who wonders if he is the last rational fan. Although sometimes he wonders if he is even rational.

If it was April 1, I would tip my hat to a well played prank. @TimTierney
This is infuriating that money is being spent telling us not to ride public transit. Maybe it's time for a clean sweep of this City's management. https://t.co/uY5NcGjeLh

@AceBandito @Jomboy_ Yeah, the yelling and multiple F bombs is abusive. They weren't shooting the breeze over a difference of opinion, they were cursing him out. Over a marginal call three pitches into the game. THAT's pretty soft if you ask me.

[Matthew Jay @lastrationalfan]

@ChasinAssholes @Jomboy_ Three pitches into the game, his bench is arguing about THAT call? That's not intensity, that's just undisciplined. Umpire was absolutely right to put an end to that, who needs to put up with that nonsense for a whole game.

@TerryDiMonte @terrytedpodcast Are you finally filming an episode of Below Deck?

@insiderJmoney @wyshynski Says the Flyers fan...

@abr8185 @bertaxennial @DailyFaceoff @JasonGregor @JeffMarek Yes! It can't be both a penalty and a dive. There is no disincentive to embellish if the worst case is you take someone to the box with you.

@StuCowan1 At this point I'm not sure why anyone would give him crap, he seems to thrive on it. They would be better off leaving him alone.

@PWHL_Ottawa Someone drew an eye chart for the ref! That's awesome.

[Matthew Jay @lastrationalfan]

Fan signs at #PWHL games are always the best. Lots of creativity and fun from @PWHL_Ottawa fans. Someone just held one up "The ref's mom is disappointed!" Go Charge!

[Matthew Jay @lastrationalfan]

@StuCowan1 @KnucklesNilan30 Great comments on embellishment. They could reduce diving if they made it the only call and it was a powerplay. How can it be both a trip and a dive? Call one or the other and not both and then there's less incentive to embellish.

[Matthew Jay @lastrationalfan]

@wyshynski Doesn't this just become another decision point that can be disputed? It seems simple, but there's no way that it doesn't result in some controversy at some point.

[Matthew Jay @lastrationalfan]

@DarnoldDefender @NFLonFOX That's the joke. It's really a dumb question anytime you ask a professional athlete or coach.

@Netflix_CA The voice over of the French was brutal in this, I couldn't watch more than a few minutes. Wildly disappointed.

[Matthew Jay @lastrationalfan]

Wow, the @BlueJays have more comeback wins this season than the Rockies have total wins. They are fun to watch. #GoJaysGo #JaysNation

@terrytedpodcast It's a long time until September, any chance you can produce some "Best of" podcasts during July and August? A collection of Tweet Sheets segments would be fantastic. Thanks.

[Matthew Jay @lastrationalfan]

This #NHLDraft is brutal to watch. The management meetings are like watching MSTeams meetings, so awkward. I'm glad the Habs traded their picks so I don't wait to wait this out.

[Matthew Jay @lastrationalfan]

@TimTierney Thanks for managing to keep a couple of lanes open at the Montreal Rd interchange this weekend. It makes a huge difference to be able to get around to different activities. The weekend commute should be less stressful than the weekday. It's appreciated.

[Matthew Jay @lastrationalfan]

@ottawacity @TimTierney @_MarkSutcliffe Driving in the east end is a miserable experience every weekend. Lane/ramp closures all the time for minimal work. Two lanes closed for a scissor lift? That should be overnight. You can't get there from here is the city motto. #otttraffic

[Matthew Jay @lastrationalfan]

Wow, Victoire within one now. Great game at TD Place tonight. Last five minutes are going to be great. #PWHL
