Love chirps from team accounts. But if you’re going to go this way the statement has to be at least a bit clever. This is just trying too hard to end up with cheap grasping at low-hanging fruit.

Fun few days around TCA as on today’s pod Rob & I were in studio together for the first time in a month or so looking at the Blue Jays outlook and some NHL notes.
And Tues AM our boy @chrishofley joins me to look at the REDBLACKS blowing out their front office.
Get in!
I loved working for the Redblacks for 8 years. We had tough years, absolutely. But nothing like this. I have no idea what the overall issue is. There is no easy fix. I’m no fan of one guy being HC/OC/GM, but beyond that…I don’t know.
Obviously this season is a write off. But the right person, a football person with a grasp of the bigger picture and no non-football distractions, is the best way to start figuring this out.
But it was built in a way that it could withstand the curveballs you get during the season. The season record didn’t matter if you had a group that was rugged enough to survive the drive to the playoffs. Once you got there, you can make crazy things happen in this league.
The fact that @PostmediaNews @ottawasuncom has almost completely stopped covering the team is troubling and also a huge underscoring of where the team is at. Pro sports teams need beat writers.
I’ve always had a blast as Matt’s favourite guest on @TallCanAudio. So it was about time someone made him answer some questions, this time on my podcast. Listen on your favourite podcast apps.

The rumours are true! Our episode featuring Matt will drop in a couple weeks.
In the meantime…

And make sure you join us on the Wednesday show as the occasionally tolerable @chrishofley will be in studio with a friend and big news of his own.
My nephew lost his beloved toy horse on our east coast trip just before he left. I was staying later and found it, so obviously I documented the journey home. Big thanks to the @AirCanada crew for humouring me on this adventure.

ICYMI: On the latest TCA one of our favourites @Schreids joined us with another of our favourites in Dominion City to chat about the Ottawa Charge moving out to CTC, a billionaire abusing the Stanley Cup, Alfie moving on to the Leafs, the WNBA exploding in Canada & lots more.
He’s not a player anymore. A coach got a promotion and a chance to work with someone he obviously wanted to work with. Social media rage cuz a guy we love got a better gig is unfortunate. Wish 11 well, the same way I did when he went to Detroit. It’s really not that deep.
Oh. Not entirely surprising and another QB incoming but…this is a gamble.
TRADE ALERT ‼️
we’ve acquired a pair of draft picks from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in exchange for 🇺🇸 QB Dru Brown.

Who else but Rebecca Leslie with the GWG! The Ottawa Charge are still alive after a 2-1 win over Montreal. Game 4 Wednesday at CTC.

I get what they're going for here, but the media has a job to do, and I can tell you from experience it is damn hard to generate coverage for an OHL team these days.
The few reporters who do show up won't continue if it's not worth their time. Most are young and learning too.
Matt had a bad back during this interview. Allegedly. The tears may have been the result of the Leafs being on the golf course already. You be the judge.
On our latest show we *welcomed* back @ChrisHofley to the TCA studio for a couple pints and a discussion on the PR battles the #Sens have survived this year en route to the playoffs, the PWHL’s tension with the city of #Ottawa, the #REDBLACKS offseason & more.
