I agree with this thread. While @CamGuthrie’s Copenhagen Adventure Funded by the Feds looked fun, and I’m sure there were some learnings, I was hoping to hear more about #Guelph issues. And why no questions afterward? @GuelphCycling

Nice to see @vickihallch & Chris Schultz inducted into the media wing of the @CFHOF. Vicky was both talented and generous with her time and knowledge. Sitting at Ivor Wynne listening to Schultzy talk football was educational and funny as hell. Congrats to both. #CFL

Murray did his job as the riders beat writer for a long time. I saw him ask tough questions and do his job with integrity. More importantly, Murray is a good person and will continue be one.

What’s left of the LP & the #CFL is less for his departure. His family already know what they are getting. Thanks Murray. Your friend. Drew.

I don't have much time for pro teams co-opting progressive and/or military service themes for their benefit. It's a marketing ploy in most cases. But as the father of trans kid & someone who thinks @sincy12 & @mPinoe rule, this matters. Equality matters: espn.com/soccer/story/487966…

Covering the #CFL & #Ticats, Diversity is Strength & @YouCanPlayTeam felt real to me. Individual initiatives - @marwanhage Heroes, Setta's Kick for Kids, one-off visits to families or people in need of support made a real difference. I miss those stories.

Three years ago today, I left a newsroom for the last time after more than two decades in newspaper journalism. I miss it every day. And I don't regret leaving.

My employer, @SandboxSoft, sent out an #Xmas message with a client survey that matched them with team members. The three "most popular" had donations made in their name. I went with @RVHFoundation & @SHNFoundation, two of my fave partners to work with. Also, my company is cool.
Sandbox friends and partners have spoken! You have the most in common with Sandboxers Brian, Meg and Drew. Sandbox made #Donations to three #Charities of their choice. Find your Sandbox Bestie through our virtual #ChristmasCard. holidaycheer2022.sandboxsoft… #GivingSeason #AmplifyGood

The #CFL game is entertaining by design and it allows players to be both extraordinary and flawed. In combination, they deliver drama and entertainment time and again. Tonight's #GreyCup finish was as good as it gets.

This piece by @maitreyiaa demonstrates an understanding of the #CFL most U.S.-based writers don't bother with (listening to @JohnDHodge & @FarhanLaljiTSN prolly helped.) Side note: @RattoIndy went to #GreyCup 2015 in Winnipeg & also got the kooky glory that is the #CFL.

Heading out for a car camping trip with my 16-year-old kid. He gets to pick the music. First selection: The Smiths. Yeah, it’s gonna be a good trip.
