As mentioned, here's Tim Baines on the Grey Cup. A brief chat with a CFL official. Don't be surprised if there's at least some kind of price reduction....
Something tells me a certain VP of business operations will be eating her words very, very soon. Stay tuned...
Hardly a headline? Completely wrong. If they ever had a sub-10,000 game it would be a top story with the Jays off.
Heck, it already was a top story once this season when they got 12,000 out.
Most...
Argos attendance should be interesting today. Thanksgiving. Long weekend. According to Ticketmaster, very few tickets sold in the West Deck and the Endzone.
Man, I wish certain TSN presenters were as excited and eager to give away MLS tickets as they are Argos tickets every week. Another giveaway on Twitter ...
You rang?
Yes, I did. I believe Bob Hunter told me during a walk through the venue in February.
Taking shots like at that at journalists and newspapers is really, really dense for reasons likely beyond your capacities...
Interesting. Or, and this is being sinister, are the numbers actually, you know, accurate?
I have nothing against the CFL. But I find it odd that nobody ever releases city-specific numbers. This is common practice in the States.
I find it extremely hard to believe that of the 2.9...
I actually wrote a column three years ago about the possibility of MLSE handing BMO over to the CFL and building its own soccer-only stadium. Of course, now that's not on the table, at least not for...
How many people at that game were wearing black?
A few things here...
The CFL is a Canadian league. That's why TV numbers are decent. It doesn't matter if people in Toronto don't care about the Argos. The CFL has legitimate fanbases in...
I could be wrong, but pretty sure he called TFC "minor league" a few weeks back before my segment with Ben Ennis. That's what I was told. But, hey, there's room on the MLS bandwagon. The league needs...
Pierce is the reason all of this is possible. My work rate is secondary to having someone who believes in covering local sports. Appreciate that, though.
In terms of the Star, the section is much...
I'm not saying they don't tweet MLS occasionally. But...
Have you seen anything about Giovinco winning Golden Boot race again?
Or, Altidore re-emerging?
Or, Toronto FC hunting down...
Here's a pretty good example of TSN's extreme bias against Major League Soccer and how it pushes a dead franchise.
Have yet to see any kind of tweet like this for Toronto FC or Sebastian...
Thanks for listening.
In defence of Postmedia, we do have the biggest soccer columnists in each city: Larson at the Sun; Weber at the Vancouver Province; Cowan at the Montreal Gazette. We all...
The only time you'll hear Sid talk Canadian soccer is if things go bad in Honduras.
The only time you'll hear Sid talk Toronto FC is if they fire a manager and miss the playoffs.
My recent...
As I wrote a few weeks back (and then defended on The Fan 590), there's an agenda against Toronto FC. You aren't wrong in your assessment.
On-air sports personalities in this city know two things:...
I found that statement bizarre from the TSN host.
If winning was the main issue, then there wouldn't be much concern, right?
Winning is not the issue. The issue is they've arguably lost two...
Is it already time for me to do another column calling out media for not giving TFC enough attention?
As for your ridiculous "puff piece" charge. I'm one of the few reporters who hasn't passed judgement and is actually unbiased on the subject.
While I've always been optimistic, I've also never said...
How was yesterday's TFC match any different than this time last year post-Argos? I wasn't there. Can't comment. But I'm willing to guess not much.
The problem here is that this project is always...
But what gives you the impression that TFC/MLSE haven't done everything to make this work?
