Wow. Stunning free kick. Mexico deserves this win. Canada didn't do much at all. #canmnt #concacaf

From an American cousin: "I love that Auston Matthews left the slot and McDavid buried it from there. Even when Canada wins, the Leafs blow it." #fournations #teamcanada

Anyone surprised by this Vladdy news hasn't been paying attention. This has been in the cards since they started screwing around with his service time in his rookie season. #bluejays #mlb

Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs would boost inflation, hit businesses on both sides of border, experts warn. ‘We must retaliate immediately’
The co-founder of Hamilton-based Canadian Canning said businesses will almost certainly pass their costs on if Trump imposes tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports.

Kincaid's drop hurt. The first down that they got screwed on hurt. But it was brutal play calls, and going back to the same tush push that was NOT working that killed them. #firemcdermott #billsmafia

I understand the stats say that going for it is the way to go on 4th and inches. But the way they've gone back to the SAME DAMNED play every time? Awful. #billsmafia

Yup. Fire McDermott. #billsmafia

Two stops in a row? Yes, please. #billsmafia

That drive is what they've needed to be doing all game. Ram it down their throats with a bunch of different backs. #billsmafia
