Sportsfeld

In this episode of Sportsfeld Storytime Jake and Zubes discuss how they celebrated Crosby's Golden Goal and then look forward, or back now I guess, to what came next for Team Canada. What they found was a much less exciting Gold Medal Game in 2014, and then a stunning loss in 2018 to....Germany? Whatever you say. Mason Raymond was there though.

As Martin Brodeur (Martin Brodeur!) fails to live up to the spotlight of the Olympics in Vancouver, it's Roberto Luongo's time to step up.

We discuss why this loss was the beginning of something for the Raptors, and how the 2014 season and playoff run laid the groundwork for what would become the eventual NBA Champions just five years later. All that plus BRUNO.

Today, we remember DeMar Derozan and Kyle Lowry being actually good in the playoffs, the birth of JV Hive, an absolutely crazy basketball game overshadowed by the Rob Ford crack tape, and the two words that changed everything for the Raptors - Fuck Brooklyn.

It iiiiiiisss Sportsfeld Storytime. It's October and the Raptors aren't playing, so let's look back at an original Raptors heartbreak that also marks the beginning of the Champion Raptors as we know them today. This month, we're looking back at the 2014 first round series against Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and the Brooklyn Nets. In Episode 1 we look back at the arrival of Masai Ujiri, the farewell to Andrea Bargnani, and we remember the moment that changed everything, the Rudy Gay...

It iiiiiis Sportsfeld Storytime. This month we are revisiting the end of one of our favourite teams ever, the 2015 Blue Jays. In part 4, we look at the fallout of the end of the playoff run, as the Jays have their general manager step down just a few days after the season ends. How could the Jays have loaded up for 2016 and made a better run than the one they had? And does the team building strategy feel different with a little time between the letdown of losing contention and how things...

How about that AA, folks. He pulled all the right strings and pressed all the right buttons, and the Atlanta baseball team won the World Series. Makes you feel... something, right? That coulda been us! Alex Anthopolous could've gotten the Jays a World Series by now, right? Well.... it's hard to say. Should we even care about this? Are people watching sports wrong? Did stats ruin everything? I'm old and confused now. I don't like a lot of things that remind me of not being young anymore. And...

It iiiiiis Sportsfeld Storytime. This month we are revisiting the end of one of our favourite teams ever, the 2015 Blue Jays. In episode three, the Jays play their final game of the season, a crazy loss to the Kansas City Royals that had just about everything. Jake and Zubes remember the Amish kid that cheated and stole a home run, two mammoth near-forgotten Jose Bautista home runs, a giant rain delay, and the general unfair shittiness of the Royals. It's a good old fashion angry episode, as...

How could you not love Scottie Barnes? The Raptors rookie has won our hearts already with just four games, thanks in large part to doing the only thing that really matters: blowing out the Boston Celtics. We dig into the ups and downs of the beginning of the Raptors season as well as the mind-numbing experience of cheering for the Maple Leafs. Plus Zubes rants for about 15 minutes about the housing market and the impossibility of buying a house, a song he hates on the radio, and we talk a...

In Episode 2 of our look back at Game 6 of the 2015 ALCS, we dive into the Blue Jays incredible playoff run including going down 0-2 to Texas, Troy Tulowitzki's heroics, and a random home run by Jose Bautista that has been forgotten to time. We then discuss the first five games of the Royals series including taunting Johnny Cueto, the legend of Marco Estrada, and Ryan Goins costing the Blue Jays a world series.

The Raptors are back in town! Celebrate the Raptors first home game in... I don't know 1,000 days or something with our full Raptors season preview. We get into our hopes and fears for the season, and try to figure out if we expect this to be a playoff team, a play-in team, or a total write-off of a year. Then we talk about Deftones, how we're still somehow giving the NFL all of our Sunday, and get into Wife Guy Corner with some praise for our better halves. Come join the Patreon family for...

The time has come once again to look back fondly on the 2015 Blue Jays. This time, the guys look back at a time they had blocked out of their memory: how the series against the Kansas City Royals came undone. Remember that Amish kid with the glove? The opposite field singles? The Ryan Goins missed pop up? We're putting ourselves through all of that again. But first, in episode one, all the fond fuzzy memories of how a .500 team made their first playoff run in more than two decades and...

Oh boy. Hockey is back. Another Maple Leafs season is upon us, much to the surprise of Jake. We dive in a bit about what we expect for a new season and why the Leafs have slid so far down the excitement tiers for so many of us, as well as what it would take to get them back up. Plus, the Raptors season is a week away, we find plenty of cause for excitement around the new faces and exciting style. All that plus discussion of the movie Freaky, Midnight Mass, and Thanksgiving Sad / Not...

In the final episode of our look back on the Raptors run to the 2016 Conference Finals, we look at the aftermath of the loss. From the acquisition of Serge Ibaka to the firing of Dwane Casey. From getting swept by LeBron to getting swept by LeBron again. We take a look at what could have been had JV made that shot in 2018, and discuss the reaction to the acquisition of Kawhi. It's been a long road for the Raptors, but at least it was never boring. Come join the Patreon family for bonus...

Well, that was sad and disappointing. The Blue Jays finish the season one game back of an AL Wild Card spot, with 91 wins ending up not enough to secure a spot in the playoffs. Dig through the reasons why with us to find a little optimism among the pain, even though there is lots of reason to feel pain. Oh, we're going to find that pain too. Plus, we talk Squid Game, our worst rip offs, and what we love and hate about working from home. Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes,...

It iiiiiis Sportsfeld Storytime. This month, we are looking back to the Raptors' first trip to the Conference Finals. The 2015-16 Raptors won 56 games, hosted the NBA All-Star Game, then survived two Game 7's en route to facing one of the best teams of the modern era in the Eastern Conference Final. In episode 3, the guys dig in to the series against the Cavs, where the Raptors shake off two tough losses to bounce back an even the series, behind some narrative-busting performances from Kyle...
