Re: All threads are temporary. This one's about soccer.
Please don't hate on me for talking MLS, but I went to my first TFC game over the weekend. I had heard over the years that the atmosphere here in Toronto was insane and ended up being totally underwhelmed. I guess years of being atrocious would affect the fans of almost any team, and apparently it's...

Re: The OFFICIAL 2013 Detroit Lions thread
Two of the guys are originally from Windsor, hence the Lions being an acceptable (mandatory?) choice. From my experience, the majority of Torontonians are Bills fans though. These guys have done that drive for a few years now and usually make it to 5 or 6 games per year, so I'll see how it goes this...

Well, sad times are upon your boy Hotcakes. I will be moving to Toronto and as such have given up my Seattle Seahawks season tickets.

As the NBA season comes to an end, I just wanted to say how fantastic the work of Zach Lowe is. I hardly follow the league any more, but reading Zach Lowe's work is an absolute pleasure. Really? I recalled you being the go-to Swamp expert on all things NBA? I guess I really was gone for a long time.

Re: Does He still guarantee I look good?
Also, I balked for the longest time at buying a nice suit. Mostly due to being cheap. But it's totally been worth it to have a go-to suit whenever it is needed, and I figure that it will last at least ten years. Unless I get fat.

Re: Does He still guarantee I look good?
I don't have much to add, but I'll chime in. Since my job requires business casual attire, I rarely need a suit for professional reasons. Therefore, I am heavy on the dress pants/shirts, but light on the suits. That said, I've slowly come to realize over the years that there are a few scenarios that...

Not having Duncan in when you need a stop and a rebound to win the fucking championship is about an indefensible a decision as one can make. Almost as bad was leaving Manu in the entire time too.
