A zero-star prospect out of high school just became the No. 1 pick of 2025 NFL Draft.
What a message Cam Ward has sent to young athletes (and the rest of us for that matter): you can still become so much bigger and better and more accomplished than where you may be today.
Well worth the wait to take the Grey Cup trophy to The Hospital for Sick Children this holiday weekend with Argos head coach Ryan Dinwiddie. What an eye-opening experience.
Some future champs in that place promised not to turn down my interview requests when they lift that sucker on their own!
Thrilled, humbled and ready to host the 2025 National Diversity in Sport Conference for a third straight year. It'll be a gathering of so many sport leaders from across Canada and abroad to have meaningful discussions to make us all better!
Join us in May! - inclusionincanadiansports.ca/2025DISC/
It really is one of the great days on the sports calendar.
The Boswell line of, "time begins on opening day" is real in our little sports universe. So wherever, and however, you may opening day, happy opening day everyone.
The eleventh 40-point show this season from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander comes on national TV in OKC's total beatdown of Denver, the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.
The final brushstroke to an MVP regular season for a Canadian who somehow still kinda remains in the shadows domestically.
This is the year Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will separate himself from the rest as the best player in the NBA.
The MVP awaits him; OKC has the league's best record; SGA is launching a new shoe at this All-Star weekend.
Here, the Canadian megastar reflects on it - www.sportsnet.ca/nba/video/it...
Congrats to Bishop's University alum, Tony Biancosino for hosting the most exclusive post-Super Bowl bash in all of New Orleans. If you are ever in The Big Easy, St. Pizza is a must. Just ask Saquon, OBJ, DiCaprio and the rest -- people.com/inside-saquo...
Best player on the football field in the first half: Josh Sweat.
Having just an exceptional game.
Any player who took a knee today during the anthem would be a hero for all time. Just sayin’.
Colin Kaepernick taking a knee.
This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.
Is there anything more on-brand than 5-12 quarterback Aaron Rodgers making Super Bowl Sunday about himself?
How can Super Bowl LIX be won for the Eagles? If the KC defense deploys the way I expect them to, the middle of the field should have room to maneuver. Which is why this could be the path to victory for Philadelphia -- www.sportsnet.ca/nfl/video/wh...
The absolute best.
Practice week is a wrap. Next up, kickoff on Sunday of Super Bowl LIX. The latest to get you ready for it -- toronto.citynews.ca/video/2025/0...
Cam Jordan, a Saints DL fixture since 2011, faced KC & Philly this year. Early in his career had Steve Spagnuolo as defensive coordinator.
We connected at the terrific St. Pizza Tavern in New Orleans to talk ball & breakdown this Super Bowl matchup.
Feature drops this week on @Sportsnet -
You are looking live inside the Superdome, about an hour away from Super Bowl Opening Night here in New Orleans --
The other part of why McDermott isn’t going anywhere: he and Beane have Pegula hoodwinked, selling ownership on "stability."
They'll point to the Sabres mess, under Pegula, as the illustration of why you need "stability." They'll claim bridge year, and next season has cap relief. And survive.
This won't happen, with the ongoing litigation - to say nothing of cheap ownership - but what Buffalo needs to do is call Jon Gruden and offer him the job. Get him with Josh Allen, and go.
This was the Bills' best chance to dethrone KC and still the same result. It's time to rip the bandaid off.
87 has been blocking his ass off tonight.
What a play call by Buffalo to take the lead. The entire stadium knew the snap would revolve around 17 running. For Allen to wait until the full sell-out and then pitch it to Cook, who made a superhuman extension to cross the plane of the goal line?
Just sensational football right there.
If not for two remarkable Josh Allen throws (to Shakir, and then before the break to Hollins), this game would be a rout.
Instead, it's 21-16 KC at the half, and somehow the Bills, who have never really been in this game, are right in the thick of it.
There are nine-year-olds out there playing Madden who can manage a clock better than some NFL coaches. It ceases to amaze.
87 drawing three guys on every snap. Opening everything up for everyone else in the KC offense.
Here we go --
When we landed in KC late last night, all you heard on a quiet plane was one voice that uttered, "hey, hey, hey hey..."
The next thing you knew, on a flight that included a few dozen Bills fans, people fully broke out singing 'SHOUT!'
What a scene Arrowhead will be today.
Heading to KC to cover the AFC title game, and if Pearson Airport is any indication, there should be no shortage of Bills fans there. So many throwback Buffalo jackets, Apex and Starter logos. Strangers having nervous football convos together. So fun.
What a scene it'll be at Arrowhead tomorrow.
Oh
As reported a while back, Harris joining the Saskatchewan coaching staff has been in the works for well over a year now.
Now, it will happen for the 2025 season.
Gotta do it. Gotta be there tonight. SKOL --
