If you honestly don't understand, then we'll explain it to you. Bernie was stating that Trump is going rapidly down a dictatorial path & is a danger to the country, so must be voted out while it can still happen.
If you get it & still support the orange man, you're evil too
Many of the best days of my life have come since my suicide attempt 16 years ago. If you're struggling, please ask for help. The work isn't easy, but it's worth it & I want you to have many more days to enjoy.

Happy birthday, Shanny. This calls for a throwback Thursday to one of the iconic photos in Canadian sports history. Shanny with the Mann Cup and his brother
@brendanshanahan
with the Stanley Cup at a backyard party. So Canadian. What a beauty!
It doesn't look like Layne Smith is on Twitter so I thought I'd share this video that he posted on Facebook of Gutch Salinas and Brett Logan, players on opposing teams in the OLA Jr B finals, joining the pre-game smoke dancers.
It has been a truly special and humbling day. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with congratulations about the Borelli Award. I hope I didn't miss responding to anyone but it's likely I did. If so, please don't think it means I didn't appreciate it.
Breaking news: Just a few weeks ahead of the 2018 championships in Netanya,

You and the rest of the Squad are and have been beacons of light for the entire world. Thank you for all that you do. People are going to realize that you stand for a better future and get on board. Keep up the great work.
As a lacrosse pxp & colour commentator myself, I love what Jim Burmeister & Ryan Boyle are doing with
@PremierLacrosse
. Solid, professional play call, excellent analysis, not forced or overhyped, appropriate humour, positive but point out errors. Great job.
It's 24 years since my father died. One of the last times I saw him was when he & my mum came to Montreal and saw me win the pair at the Canadian rowing championships. I've never felt like I could do enough to deserve the pride he showed in me. Wish you were with us today, Dad

Thanks to our great production crew and everyone who helped make the

Yes, but the reality is that police brutality is a far more serious problem, both in terms of breadth and outcomes, for people of colour than it is for whites. We indeed should stand up for oppressed whites too, but it is people of colour that really need this
Sad to hear of the death of Wamper, aka Larry Power. Wamper was passionate & dedicated to keeping lacrosse stats and I am honoured to be able to say he was my friend. You won't be forgotten, Wamper.
We support you

Thank you for all your information and being a warrior through all this. That goes out to everyone involved.

Wow.
@stevefryer39
in his first career start gets his first career win with 45 saves. That is a truly brilliant performance by a great team guy who has been waiting a long time for his chance.
Austin Staats & Chris Cloudier led off the first round of the 2018
@NLL
draft. Who will be the first to cross the draft stage in 2019? Here's my early projection.
Things are looking good for
@CanadaLacrosse
to go to
@FILacrosse
worlds in Israel this summer. Voting to be concluded tonight but rep is confident players will approve the deal.
And there you have it. With the assist on Mark Matthews' goal,
@shawnevans1588
becomes the second-leading scorer ever in Mann Cup play, passing
@JohnGrantJr24
. Now trails only another former teammate & all-time great
@johnlax11
This is my second time calling a Mann Cup including the

Looking at NCAA men's lacrosse tourney stuff and it occurred to me, why did the PLL already hold their college draft when the players are still playing? That seems weird
I mostly follow lacrosse in the hopes someone will score 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 points in consecutive games so we can nickname them Fibonacci. It's an elusive quest.
Wow, what a win for
@CanadaLacrosse
at
@TWG2022
. So many outstanding players, but the announcers completely missed praising perhaps Canada's player of the game, so let's give some love to Brooklyn Walker-Welch, who had an absolutely game-changing defensive performance.
What a blow to the lacrosse world. Dave Huntley was a force of nature who made a difference to so many people. I recently spoke with Geoff
@GeoffSnider4
for a story and his glowing words about Dave as a coach but even more as a man are echoed by those who knew him. RIP Hunts

There are a lot of things to like about the
@WILC2019
but I can't lie: one of my favourites is how much AC/DC they're playing during warmups. It's a Long Way to the Top If You Wanna Win the World Championship, to paraphrase.
Honestly, one of the best up and coming coaches I've seen. Bright future for
@Thefarth
and the athletes who are fortunate enough to have him coach them.
This girl is amazingly bright and brave. She has Asperger's, English is not her first language, but she comes on the show & speaks so eloquently and passionately. Please, everyone, listen to Greta Thunberg.

To everyone who's been asking when my Top 50 prospects & mock draft will be coming out on
@IL_Indoor
, first, thanks for asking & for. the kind words. I'm waiting for the renunciation deadline Saturday to complete them; they'll be rolling out early next week. Stay tuned.
I'm supposed to be on a flight home from 8 days in Australia right now. Trip got cancelled one day before departure. At the time it was a difficult decision, now it seems shocking that cancelling was even in doubt. Amazing how fast things have changed, eh?
Thoughts after 30 minutes: bring a team to Laval permanently. Great rink, the crowd is into it and they know the game, presentation is really good. I'd love to come call games here.
I reached out to the IOC and the World Games association to see what they say about
@IRQ_Nationals
eligibility. The IOC referred me to the Intl. World Games Assoc. for WG eligibility questions, saying that they (the IOC) don't organize the WG.
Draft Day! Super excited to call the draft with

@TabTurnerTV1
. Great crew in front of the cameras (ok, this year it's iPhones) & a tremendous group of folks in the studio making it all work. I don't think they're on socials but they rock
It's

Oh, he's going to win. I believe that the basic decency of our citizenry will win out and he will become Prime Minister As for our system of government, it's just an honorific...no change necessary.
If the Mann Cup ends in 20 minutes of playing time, it will be an impressive feat by the

This is the

As you watch this - and you should definitely watch this - bear in mind that the last residential schools in Canada closed 3 years AFTER Frank was born. This is not ancient history. This is important and timely. Kudos to Frank & Devan for a difficult but worthwhile conversation
Depression never completely goes away. I've felt a hint of the darkness creeping back lately and I've started seeing a counsellor again. I'm comfortable talking about it now but it's not always easy to first ask.

Not that he really went anywhere, but Graeme Hossack is definitely back on the short list of the very best defenders in lacrosse. Check out this shift from Week 7
People who are having trouble with
@MannCup
feed: I contacted
@PlayFullScreen
via the "contact us" link on their site. They replied fairly quickly apologizing for the problem and saying they'll refund game. Credit to them for addressing it, even if it's frustrating for viewers.
Stand down for now, lacrosse fans.
@NLL
protected lists will be released tomorrow, probably by 9 or 10 am. League office is making sure all t's are crossed and i's are dotted before putting out the information.
Sometimes the hopelessness of trying to do anything positive in lacrosse just makes me want to throw my hands up and give in. I'll be back, but for today I'm just feeling despondent about the game.
Last year I helped someone find resources when they reached out seeking help. They found the help they need to keep battling.
#BellLetsTalk
is a great way to start conversations. Please be open to listen if someone needs you to & please reach out to me if you need a willing ear
This is part of why I love the
@NLL
. The players are so accessible to the fans. And knowing Jeremy, it won't be a cursory smile and sign either. He's a class act through and through who I'm sure will absolutely make the young athlete's day.
Wow, this is a huge trade. Colorado gets a big lefty who was highly touted coming into the league, while Sask now has 3 first rounders in next year's loaded draft. Looks like the Rush will be continuing to retool instead of rebuild.
I was at both teams' shootarounds this morning and I can tell you they are raring to go for the games. Excited to have the call with
@sbdshanny
on TSN.
Excited to be able to bring MSL finals action to folks outside the local cable viewing areas. I'll have the call for games 2, 4 and 6 if necessary from Peterborough on the MSL YouTube page.
