Could you imagine Marvel Wynne or O'Brien White getting racially abused in the BMO parking lot by a
Toronto FC supporter? Not that I'm of the whole "there's no racism here, we live under Pierre
Trudeau's beautiful multicultural rainbow where nothing ever goes wrong" school of Canadian self
back-slappery, but let's just say if it happened, I suspect you would get headlines in every single
national daily, weeks of op-eds about how racism persists in Canada, and anti-racist tifos in the
south end that would make Dichio's tribute look like a bit of tissue paper.

Thanks to an email from a fan up north. This video of the Red Patch Boys creating a large

I'm a few days late with this, but here's Springsteen's tribute to Giants Stadium, from the
opening night of the final stand there. Love the line about the Giants. And the mosquitoes. It's
got a feel similar to Blood Brothers, but he also sounds a little bit like Dave Bielanko from Marah
on it, which is a cool way of bringing the influence full circle.

(Sadly the wit and wisdom of Brian Clough - or at least my attempted tribute to it in the last

singular, not plural).
Check out the trailer.

only fitting that the club pay tribute to the new King at Pistolas FC: Steve Ward.
Almost as if in a coup d'etat fashion, Steve Ward took advantage of a crippled leader, Charles, and
surpassed him for the All-Time Goalscoring Title, notching his 11th career goal in the final game
