It feels weird to know that he's not running around these Toronto streets, repping the city he's lived in for so many years, but as the self-described "enemy of silence," I'm sure Toronto will be hearing from him again soon. Join the conversation Load comments. Fans are loving Fred VanVleet's celebration of Raptors win and here's what it means.
Women at this Toronto gym are performing astonishing acts of strength. Reports hint that Toronto could actually be getting an NFL franchise. People are scamming their way into Toronto events with fake vaccine passports. Dalano Banton gets standing ovation in Toronto but fans don't like his hat selection. Toronto is getting a new outdoor skating rink next to Lake Ontario this winter. Fans design concept ballpark to replace the Rogers Centre in Toronto.
Levy wishes Richards the best, but says The Score will fill the Cabbie gap. The business is always changing, and we're not a one-trick pony. Boudreau, whose press conference was interrupted by the fraternal order of Russians a few feet away, issued a terse "no comment" to the media when asked how he felt about the gaiety nearby after a loss.
Hockey TV panels were unconditional in condemning the fraternizing as everything from bad manners to treason. But their wrath is moot. As the overheard remarks reveal, the horse has left the proverbial barn in coaching the new generation of superstars.

Knockout Punch: Sportsnet's hockey panel had a frank discussion of the fighter's role in the sport with retired slugger Georges Laraque on Tuesday night. Between Laraque and Nick Kypreos - another willing scrapper - there was plenty of insight into the dread, uncertainty and exploitation that punctuates a fighter's life as he waits for his next showdown.
The only thing missing from the fine piece was the predominance of former fighters in the NHL's substance abuse program. No surprise that the men who are one punch away from injury or retirement look to offload their anxiety in a bottle or a line of cocaine.
That damage, more than any physical punishment, is probably the most troubling aspect of fighting in the NHL. Instead NFL Films is putting microphones on a number of coaches, players and referees and will use their comments as the audio track for the game.
Live audio is the El Dorado of TV sports programming, the potential marriage of sports and reality programming. Better known as Cabbie, the veteran sports media personality — widely revered for his unique interviewing style and multiplatform talent — joins Sportsnet as Executive Producer of Sports Betting Content. I went to Ryerson for radio and TV and then my first internship was at a sports station.
I was doing the usual stuff — gathering data and stats. Then I pitched this idea of being a man on the street. That was based on my big, silly personality. Being a little bit different makes people remember.
