Playing D&D when a friend drops wing sauce on his character bio paragraph. "It's just flavour text anyway," I say. I'm so sorry.

Absolutely wild that the closing round for both #CanPL and #NSL begins with teams separated by the THIRD tiebreaker that comes after being level on points. Popcorn is ready!
Northern Tribune@northtribune10h
Both of Canada's pro soccer leagues enter the final regular-season round with tiebreakers in full effect! #NSL: Final playoff spot down to a third-level tiebreaker. #CanPL: Top two are tied on points and H2H, but separated by GD. The last playoff contenders are level on points.

It’s a season that started with promise and really dwindled from there.
Northern Tribune@northtribuneOct 12
The season kicked off with a new name and big ambitions, but the results didn’t follow. Here’s how @inter__toronto’s playoff hopes fell short. #CanPL | #CPLSoccer bit.ly/4ydch7h

Hey @LetsGoToTheEX, maybe a ban on horrible AI art where we can’t even be arsed to spell ‘burger’ correctly? There is low effort, and then there is this. $18 a burger in a fair that has ~1.6 million visitors and vendors can’t pay a human to design a decent menu 🤦‍♂️

Been a great week of action in Canada’s top flight. If you’re a Canadian still hungry for footy after the World Cup, hard to beat the value you get with #CanPL.

Unambitious drivel that conveniently forgets the mosaic of culture that makes us ‘Canada’ to begin with. It comes off as gross, ignorant, and entirely unaspiring. That isn’t us. But hey, @globeandmail, it’ll get you clicks. That is what modern news is, I guess.

The North African side proved too much for CanMNT, wasted chances in the first half proved costly for the Canadians

It’s official: the entire World Cup group stage consumed…three days’ worth of Blue Jays hotdogs We do love our glizzies here (and, uh, the loonie dog prices probably helped versus the WC cost)
