Well, I did a search and we did have a thread called ?The Ashes? which had covered some cricket, but we hadn?t posted on it since 2015, which was during the World Cup. But there was a reason I was looking for a cricket thread and interestingly this post from that thread caught my eye: I?m sure...

Well, may as well start the build towards the new season with the big news... https://theathletic.com/5113061/2023/12/05/blue-jays-shohei-ohtani-meeting/ Ohtani believed to have met with Jays officials at Dunedin. Not sure it really means anything, but who knows...

As it says on the tin: general expansion rumours and rumblings https://fullpresshockey.com/2023/10/14/nhl-expansion-back-in-the-conversation/ San Diego, Atlanta, Houston and Quebec discussed in this article. Also Salt Lake City gets some love. Fun to speculate, at least.

There?s your Matthews destination. Couple of seasons left of Crosby, Matthews over there next season to take over the mantle.

So, keep or move on? I?m 100% for retaining him. But as Kloke says, he probably needs to continue to evolve and be a bit more cut throat, likely starting with replacing Keefe and moving players he maybe didn?t want to https://theathletic.com/4517458/2023/05/14/kyle-dubas-maple-leafs-gm-future/

Looking very much like her reign is due to end imminently. All her children and grandchildren have been summoned to Balmoral where she has been staying. Her Drs have released a statement suggesting they are very "concerned" about her health. The BBC has interrupted and suspended all normal...

So the show has appeared on Prime today. After much internal debate, I finally relented and watched the first episode on my lunch break and certainly it's an interesting insight. Some good behind the scenes practice stuff, lots and lots of swearing, a little spat between Keefe and Matthews...

Phenomenal US Open final between 18 year old Briton Emma Raducanu and Canadian 19 year old Leylah Fernandez. Radicanu, the first qualifier to ever win a grand slam, but I think there?s some seeds of a long term rivalry there?. Fernandez made Raducanu win it, barely put a foot wrong.

Does he have to quarantine? https://twitter.com/mapleleafs/status/1361460913287667718

So it was mentioned we should break talk of post Trump presidency into a new thread A look back at his first day in full https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-us-canada-55745861

Retires. https://twitter.com/nhl/status/1339594320848986118 One I thought we cut adrift too soon, and who had a very acceptable career in the end

One of the most incredible crashes I have seen in years today in Bahrain. Romain Grosjean clipped a rear wheel on another car and careered across the track hitting a metal barrier straight on. His car split in two and erupted into flames instantly. He walked away from the incident and it looks...

Since were getting on towards the end of another decade, The Athletic have been doing a load of retrospectives. One of them is their Leafs team of the decade. It?s been a tough enough decade to be a fan with a few false dawns but it?s kind of fun to look back at some names that have played...

https://twitter.com/MapleLeafs/status/1183750072888168449 Actual roster move or cap move?

The Masters. Tiger sitting just being the leaders. Would be some story if he could claim the win tomorrow... I hope he does too

So this is kind of following on from Rick's post over on the main forum about Leafs/hockey podcasts. Are there any podcasts of any genre that you've listened to and would recommend? Share them here! There's a couple that I really enjoy. 1 - BBC Radio Five Live Kermode and Mayo's Film Review...

3 years at $5m in St Louis being reported. I liked him, basically a "free" signing. Never really let anyone down and put in the heart and effort. But right not to pay him that. https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1013447401414242305

Starts tomorrow so where's your money? Spain sack their coach the day before the tournament so that either destroys their chances or maybe galvanises the side. Germany always likely to be there or thereabouts. Brazil needing to bounce back after their embarrassment at their home world cup...
