Hmm, I pay $300/year for all my tv, including both SN, TSN and access to their streaming included Between sports taking you to the cleaners, Netflix and others becoming a slop fest, and endless ads everywhere… linear tv is looking better and better
Toronto Maple Leafs@maple--leafs.bsky.social · 2w agoSportsnet+ Premium Price Increase (again). Annual price now $344.99
Honestly, the Blue Jays may very well be the worst offender in all of MLB. All indications are SN pays peanuts for the Jays/MLB rights, letting them keep the proceeds off the Jays books, and thus not being cost shared

Remember when Dave Naylor and all his overlords with MLSE were screaming from the rooftops that the CFL’s only hope was jumping in bed with The Rock and his idiotic spring leagues? Good times
ProFootballTalk@profootballtalk.bsky.social · 6d agoAs expected, the UFL has announced that the Stallions will relocate from Birmingham. As not expected, the UFL has announced that the Gamblers will relocate from Houston.
If you have to play that card to solidify the Morocco vote, it’ll be a helluva time getting to 106 🍿
George Pearkes@peark.es · 9h agooh it's getting real *INFANTINO OFFERS MOROCCO WORLD CUP FINAL FOR SUPPORT: TIMES
Launch angle and exit velocity please

this man should get combat pay bc he was FIGHTING here
Judging from the non-stop ads in my mobile idle game, betting apps are in Alberta now Beating me over the head with them is also a great way to ensure I never use your product
30 years ago tonight! One of the great moments in Canadian history, with one of the great calls from Dan Wittman. This compilation includes some international calls. The Aussie call is great too. You could tell the international media was sick of the bravado too, like @jacktodd.bsky.social recalls

Norm Charlatan@normcharlatan.bsky.social · 2d agoWife’s friends are in town and came over for dinner, so I ordered the 21 taco platter from local Mexican place. Huge sides of rice and beans as well.
In a two run game, getting on puts the tying run at the plate. That fair game any day. If it’s a ten run game, ok, then you’re just being a dick… but it wasn’t, so pound sand Kenley
Roger Cormier@themetsnewsletter.com · 4d agoKenley Jansen took issue with Jeff McNeil bunting with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. McNeil couldn't believe it.
My kingdom for them to call this on The King of Floppers, His Royal Majesty, Zach Collaros
JM =^D@jm539581.bsky.social · 4d agoLooks like Leduc is figuring out her exchanges, prior years she was doing like Fred Kerley and giving up 3m on the pass then making up 5m on the run. Today the passes were really good, they just didn’t have quite as much horsepower on legs 2 and 3 as the Jamaican’s Exciting progress!

Got some air pods, was trying them out mowing the lawn and wow, when the noise cancellation kicks it, it is other worldly. I had to take them out a couple times just to believe the mower was still going full throttle
I applaud their scorched earth strategy here. I'm sure there are all sorts of internal politics involved, but defenestrating Infantino will certainly make anyone else think about five times before trying something similar.
Blood is in the water I suspect Infantino will take an indefinite medical or family leave within the week…
Douglas Reyes-Ceron@dreyesceron.bsky.social · 4d ago“FIFA is not a private enterprise. It is a body held in trust for the game and its members. Those appointed to serve it carry a fiduciary duty, a duty of service over power. Where that duty is not upheld, accountability cannot be optional.” holy hell, CONCACAF brought out the axe against Infantino

Infantino went from untouchable and sure he could pull off one of the biggest heists of all time… to now desperately trying to cling to power. All within a few days.

Yeah, about that. Montagliani is as greasy as they come too. Just thinking of him makes me want to shower. Seeing him with Infantino makes me want to shower in bleach
Melissa Nadia Viviana 🐸@resistrebelrevolt.net · 5d agoI just got done telling someone that we need a Canadian or New Zealand Fifa President cause they're not power-hungry / mob boss cultures. As Fifa increases its commercialization and strains its growth capacity - its focus on unlimited power attracts corruption. inews.co.uk/sport/footba...
The Friday news dump has arrived, via a paper the Kushners no doubt know well. nypost.com/2026/07/31/b...
