12 h. ago ESPN host fires baffling shot at Toronto Raptors and their fanbase

The Toronto Raptors found themselves in the middle of an odd discussion on a recent ESPN show put out this week.On Monday's episode of The Hoop Collective podcast hosted by Brian Windhorst, Tim Bontemps, and Tim MacMahon, the trio was discussing Tony Allen's jersey retirement over the weekend with the Memphis Grizzlies.Allen, who played for the Grizzlies from 2010 to 2017, was the centrepiece of the "Grit and Grind" era in Memphis in which the team was lauded for its strong defensive play and hustle all over the court.And when praising the Grizzlies' connection to their fanbase, MacMahon offered a strange opinion as to where it relates to the Toronto Raptors."They didn't get to the finals, they obviously didn't win a championship, but they were a very good team for a long time that epitomized the culture of the city they're in," MacMahon said.

One Toronto Blue Jays fan vacationing in Florida got a bit more than they bargained for on a recent trip to watch the team.While the Blue Jays have their home base in Dunedin, Florida, during the spring months, it's not uncommon for fans to travel across the state to see them take on other opponents.And when Robert Guertin decided to take in a Blue Jays game with his wife Linda at the CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches against the Houston Astros last Friday, he suddenly found himself on the field to sing "O Canada."With the couple travelling with a large group of friends to go check out their favourite baseball team, it turned out that the home side didn't exactly have anyone lined up for the Canadian anthem.Given that Toronto is the lone MLB club based in Canada, most part-time anthem singers could go a whole season of games without ever having to sing two songs back-to-back before the first pitch.So an Astros ticket representative offered Guertin's group the shot to perform the Canadi...
