The Swamp

Can this be the Gold Cup thread too? Canada lost to fucking Martinique!!!!! Was no fluke either, Martinique dominated the majority of the play. Canada has hired a Spanish coach, he can't get here soon enough. Temper your enthusiasm - he's not exactly Del Bosque. http://blogs.thescore.com/counteratt...

This is cool - time lapse of yesterday's storm

In other news, thunderstorms predicted for tonight and tomorrow in Toronto.

Better walk the dog now...

New Spurs unis are an improvement, if only for the fact that I know what HP does.

Still not sure what an "Aurasma" is

Rumors are that your gallant Mayor rode out the storm in his SUV because his house didn't have A/C. Apparently true - but he was with his kids, trying to keep cool (it is brutally muggy here as well), so not the worst Ford move. (Unless of course, the SUV was where his pipe was stashed...) Here's a...

Now Toronto is flooding! Hope Pruitt is ok! I survived! 500,000 without power, subway stopped, severe flooding... AND it had poured here on Sunday and on the previous Friday. If anyone needs fresh water, call us. We were without power for out 10 hours, but "luckily" both my wife and I hav...

Canada loses to Martinique.

I love the early rounds of the Champions League when the big fish in little ponds play. These teams are ranked 430+ in the UEFA rankings. Leg 1 first round qualification Shirak (Armenia) 3-0 Tre Prenne (San Marino) Lusitans (Andorra) 2-2 EB/Streymur (Faroe Islands) Do they even bother playing the C...

Guy looks like a real winner. After a short stint coaching an Ecuadorean team he spent less than a year in Morocco coaching a perennial powerhoue to a 4th place finish.

I get the feeling that the Canadian Soccer Association pays minimum wage.

First time ever in the U.S.

There was some sort of Bollywood Oscars in both Toronto and Vancouver last year. I get the feeling these things are as important as December Bowl Games.

Guy is waiting nervously when the doctor comes in. "Mr. Bloom, I've got some good news and some bad news. Which do you want first?" Bloom swallows hard - "Okay, I can take it... give me the bad news first." "Well, your condition has become a lot worse, and I'm afraid that th...

Absolutely loved it. Depressing as all hell, but it's been too long since I've since a film with a fairly simple story told in such a unique way.

My son told me this one: Guy's in a doctor's office. Doctor walks in, guy asks what's wrong. Doctor says "Mr. Jones, you're going to have to stop masturbating." Guy is stunned. Asks "why? Why do I have to stop masturbating?" Doctor says "So I can start the examination."

Well, I earnestly give a fuck about what happens in Egypt. Nearly 50 years ago, a world war might've kicked off, because of the machinations of a couple of dying empires and a young republic, eager to control this most strategic of global spots. That same young republic, which I happen to greatly s...

My terrier was cooped up all day so I took her to the park at night for a romp. She was running like a puppy, having a great old time when suddenly she disappeared behind a shrub. I ran over and saw her looking completely blissed out as she rolled in the muddy dirt at the base of the shrub. Not mud.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited to hear new ESPN analyst Ray Lewis discuss this issue! Awesome! But in reality, they will either a) keep Lewis away from this issue or b) Lewis will include the words "faith," "prayer" and "jesus" in his no doubt hard-hittin...

Saw the sensory assault that is the new Superman movie. Call it Meh Of Steel and save your cash for other 3D extravaganzas coming down the pipe. This one had awesome special effects and the first hour is great, but ultimately, there are plot holes that make you go "oh, come on!" I know it'...

It always amazes me that in a nation founded on the principles of individual freedoms, so many people feel that they have a right to impose their ideals on others.

On the BBC world service yesterday, the host asked a reporter about what would happen if the US Air Force sent a jet to force Snowden's plane to Cuba to make a landing.
