DP Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Swearing and Tolerate Thierry Henry

It hurts to write this. Hurts real bad. Even thinking about it makes me feel dirty. But here goes… My earliest – and still many of my best – sporting memories are of my younger self craning my neck from amidst the burly throng of Londoners packed together on White Hart Lane’s Shelf Side.

No Lov’ Lost ­- New York City FC exacts a pound of flesh from Toronto FC

Old news by now, but last week Dan Lovitz was both acquired by the new New York club in the 2014 Expansion Draft and then returned to TFC for some allocation money. The move rang some bells that harkened back to the 2006 Expansion Draft, as Toronto prepared to enter MLS the following season. With their seventh of ten picks in that draft, TFC selected New York City head coach, then Real Salt Lake forward, Jason Kreis. Kreis would...

This originally was posted September 5, 2013 on The Yorkies So they removed the President of Toronto FC and during the brief press conference it was revealed that MLSE is “kinda” still looking at shoehorning the Argos into the ground. I don’t get it.  It doesn’t make any sense. I’m sure the cost of the retrofit doesn’t remotely equal the money they’d make from a rental. And where is this money...

Toronto FC Fan Council : Fill out this survey to better saturate you with advertisements!

This opinion piece originally appeared on The Yorkies on August 27, 2013 Sometimes I wish I could get the PA announcer at the stadium a mute button.  Perhaps I am in the minority, but this season, more so than before, I feel way too marketed to when attending a match.  Every message is delivered like it is of utmost importance when it is just drivel.  There is very little news that comes out of the tannoy during any match. ...
