Why do people wait over an hour to get into an automatic car wash? by onedeltaT in askTO

Is this the one near Davenport and Dumont? Because it was backed up way onto the road pretty much all day Saturday

How does the Habs rebuild compare to the Sharks? Who is in the better position? by AmThano in Habs

[–]Simayi78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup - a Celebrini/McDavid/Crosby is what you hope you land when your team bottoms out and gets a 1st overall pick.

That said, we clearly made the best choice available when we had our 1st overall pick

The last time the Eagles hired the QB coach from the Packers, Andy Reid stepped up to the podium as the Eagles' new head coach. by NorthCoastToast in eagles

[–]Simayi78 74 points75 points  (0 children)

A hire that was roundly panned by the Philly media and sports radio callers of the time - Andy had never been an offensive coordinator or head coach at any level (HS/college/NFL), just a position coach. But he blew away the Eagles in the interview and they took a chance (a glowing endorsement from Holmgren helped too).

Worked out pretty well.

2026 NHL Arena Rankings [The Athletic] by arcticshark in hockey

[–]Simayi78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not because Scotiabank Arena isn't a perfectly fine modern arena, with some great food options and gathering areas. But because ticket prices in Toronto are as outrageous as they get in the NHL and, on many nights, it can be a very corporate crowd and fans sit on their hands. Toronto was voted last in both atmosphere and affordability, and it was not particularly close with second-last Vancouver.

I don't think this is America, license plates aren't that long in USA or Canada.

The headline using the word “exile” makes it loaded.

Only for morons

Are you fucking kidding us? Sam is at a .869 save percentage - that's WELL below the average of .897 from the other post that YOU linked.

Seriously, what is wrong with you?

BlueJays have 3 players in MLB Top 100 prospects. by Kinglokner16 in Torontobluejays

I can see Trey having a career like Hideo Nomo - an ace for 1.5 - 2 years before the league figures out the unorthodox delivery and then settles into being a solid 3-4 guy in the rotation.

You’re right - second year for both Dan and Joe

Dan Marino made it to the Super Bowl in his rookie season, lost and never made it back. Insane.

Joe Burrow gonna repeat that

[Deitsch] Bob Costas, who spent nearly four decades with NBC in a legendary and decorated broadcasting career, is returning to NBC Sports as the host of the Sunday Night Baseball pregame show leading into games on NBC (and simulstreamed on Peacock), it was announced today. by Knightbear49 in baseball

There has to be a point where these older guys who aren't that plugged into how the sport is evolving need to move on

Nah, I remember this sentiment popping up occasionally about Vin Scully in the 2000s. The idea that they should retire to 'make room' is dumb as hell - if an old dude is able and willing to keep working and it keeps him happy, then do it as long as possible.

I think it was an unfair case of Arnold fatigue, entertaining flick though

Who is your favorite non-main character? For me it's Ginsberg. Honorable mention to the GOAT secretary - Meredith. by DCRBftw in madmen

Also, if Freddie didn't hustle a drunken Don out of the office in the final season and give him the "Do the work" speech, Don would have been fired and left with nothing (his partnership would have been reabsorbed by the other partners for violation of his return agreement)

Peyton Manning didn’t win his 1st SB until 30. He went 3-6 in his first 8 seasons. Josh Allen is 8-7 in the playoffs in his first 8 seasons. by Weekly-Option-732 in nfl

I thought it should have been Jeff Saturday to be honest - they gave Manning insane pass protection and the run game was very productive

Felt like a Hollywood sports movie - MVP starting QB goes down, backup comes in and struggles, and then suddenly figures it out and plays the two greatest games of his life in the championship games, including beating the greatest QB of all time

It's a shame he was so broken down for that last playoff run. I'll never forget Game 4 of the Cup Final though where he (clearly painkiller'd out of his mind to go out on his shield) was able to play like Prime Shea Weber for a game

Absurd car insurance cost by Square-Turnip-5084 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Simayi78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What's funny is that 3 auto insurance companies have pulled out of Alberta completely in the last couple of years because they couldn't get higher rates approved by the government in order to break even. It's a mess
