Suicide found the PGA Tour this week but it wasn’t its first time finding Shane Lowry. He’s lost three Clara schoolmates to it. Lowry stopped and reflected on “the lowest place in the world” and plenty more, in typically raw fashion. For @ExaminerSport

Speed is always of the essence for Jesse Marsch. In 2024 it quickly became the essence of his Canada team too. After some slow living in Tuscany and Mexico over the holidays, 2025 gets busy in a hurry for Marsch and his team. For @StarSports/@TorontoStar

With 152 yards today, I make that 1195 rushing yards on the season for Hubbard now. That leaves him just 158 off the Canadian single-season record of 1353 yards set by Rueben Mayes back in 1986, with the Buccaneers and Falcons still to come. It's very doable.

After a whole lot of see-sawing, I voted for Moïse Bombito at 1 with David a ridiculously close second. So cant argue with JD winning out. Crazy impressive year. And in just 11 days he's free to negotiate with any club that wants him...which is a long list of clubs.
Jonathan David named Canada Soccer's Men's Player of the Year for 2024 🏆 David appeared in all 14 of @CANMNT_Official matches in 2024, registering five goals and three assists. He became CANMNT’s all-time leading goalscorer with his 31st goal for Canada, scoring against Suriname in the Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinal second leg. He made his 50th CANMNT cap against Peru in the 2024 Copa América group stage. He was named Gatorade Player of the Match on three occasions, most notably in Canada’s win over Peru in the 2024 Copa América group stage. At club level, Jonathan has featured 49 times for LOSC Lille in 2024, recording 36 goals and 10 assists so far, most notably scoring his 100th career goal for the Ligue 1 club in December. He is the current Ligue 1 top scorer for the 2024-25 season. Congratulations, Jonathan! 🇨🇦

If you were going to chart the steep fall of John Herdman’s reputation, you would probably start with this (and the very naive interview that sparked it), two years ago this week:

Chuba Hubbard rumbles in for his 7th rushing TD of season (8th overall) against the Chiefs. Caught up with him this week to discuss one of the most dominant and defiant NFL seasons we’ve seen from a Canadian. For @TorontoStar/@StarSports

Year 4 in the NFL started like the other 3 for Chuba Hubbard, with doubters out in force. Now he's one of the most dominant RBs in football, earning a $33m reward. Spoke to Hubbard about a familiar defiance and changing lives. For @TorontoStar/@StarSports

So, LA is calling. Jesse Marsch and Canada have plenty of answers. Last night the biggest win of Marsch’s 2024 rebuild booked a NL semifinal date with Mexico and healed some scars. The only pity was the paltry crowd there to witness it. For @TorontoStar

Halftime at BMO Field and Canada are cruising, if slightly less so after a third of the half, from Moise Bombito is ruled out by VAR right before the break. Overall much better than Friday night and Monday's set-piece work has paid off. Suriname really not offering much at all.

A first Canada start in over a year for Kamal Miller (his first start under Jesse Marsch too). Cyle Larin restored to the attack and Mathieu Choinière into CM the third change as Marsch looks for a little more impetus and incision than Friday night's first leg.
Our starters against 🇸🇷, presented by @GE_Appliances ⬇️ 🍁 Kamal returns to XI 🍁 Larin joins JD up top 🍁 Choinière gets the nod #CANMNT

Little late to it but absolutely brilliant stuff from @GavanCasey here. It can feel like the Content Creators bus is coming for so many corners of sports journalism. Writing like this is a damn good counter to that.
