4 d. ago Buffalo Bills supporters want to break up with cursed Toronto sports fans

Some Buffalo Bills fans located south of the border are pleading with those in Toronto to stop rooting on their team.It's no secret that Toronto seems to be cursed when it comes to their pro sports teams. The Maple Leafs haven't won a Stanley Cup since 1967 and find new ways to disappoint their fan base every year.And we're still not over the Blue Jays' loss in Game 7 of the World Series.That loss, paired with a Bills loss to the lowly Miami Dolphins this past week, resulted in a fan typing out a hilarious message and posting it in the streets of Toronto. "Please, please stop rooting for us," the message begins. "Toronto sports fans... This isn't funny anymore. The Dolphins? The Dolphins?"We get it -- you need something. The Leafs are hurting. The Raps are hopeless. And we can't imagine that Game 7, eleventh-inning, runner-on-third-with-one-out loss must have felt like. But are you noticing a common thread?"The individual al...

2 w. ago Has Bo Bichette played his last game in a Toronto Blue Jays uniform?

For Bo Bichette and the Toronto Blue Jays, there was almost an all-time moment to potentially conclude their time together.In Game 7 of the World Series, a hobbled Bichette stepped up to the plate in the second inning — and launched a blast over the outfield wall to give Toronto a 3-0 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers.Had Toronto gone on to win the title, Bichette's homer might've been printed on t-shirts and the front page of newspapers all over the country. But Toronto ended up scoring just one more run that game and gave up five, with the Dodgers taking Game 7 by a 5-4 score in the 11th inning.The home run, and Bichette's whole appearance in the World Series, were perhaps clouded by some thoughts about how exactly to handle his pending free agency this offseason. Bichette has been a fan favourite since making his debut in 2019, but is without a contract for next year.Will Bichette be on the Blue Jays next year?NBC Sports' Matthew Pouliot projects a contract ...

2 w. ago Former Toronto Blue Jays players defend fateful World Series baserunning choice

There were several what-if moments for the Blue Jays in Game 7 of the World Series, but none probably came closer than Isiah Kiner-Falefa being thrown out at home plate in the bottom of the ninth inning.Infielder Miguel Rojas, who also hit a game-tying home run in the top of the ninth, threw Kiner-Falefa out on a force play at the plate by a matter of inches after a Daulton Varsho ground ball.If Kiner-Falefa scored on the play, the game would've been over, and the Blue Jays would've won the World Series.IKF's small lead and a lack of a secondary was the difference for Toronto not winning a title. pic.twitter.com/LobrbNSCJa— Chris Kirschner (@ChrisKirschner) November 2, 2025Once the game had come to an end in eleven innings, many were quick to go back to that moment and point out how short of a lead Kiner-Falefa took off third base, and how a longer lead off either initially or once the pitch was thrown likely could've won the Blue Jays the World Series.This is ...

2 w. ago People still think Toronto Blue Jays deserve parade after World Series loss

The Toronto Blue Jays' heartbreaking World Series loss in Game 7 has left much of Canada in a disappointed funk, but a vocal contingent of the team's base is still calling for a parade to celebrate the team's historic playoff run — even if it didn't end the way the country had hoped.Toronto was just two outs away from winning a title, and even after losing a lead in the 9th inning, the Jays were again just inches from a World Series before ultimately falling to the Dodgers 5-4 in the 11th inning.It was about as close as you can get to a championship without actually getting the trophy — an achievement that fans still want recognized.Journalist Steve Paikin is one of the many prominent voices who have suggested a parade be held regardless of the loss. It's an idea that even some Dodger fans are getting behind.Dodger fan, here. I agree.— Dowe Kaufman (@kaufman64982) November 2, 2025One user called on Mayor Chow to organize a parade for the te...
