That would require TSN to realize that they're a media outlet, and wrap their heads around all that ‘media’ means now. The poor boobs still think they're a cable TV channel and have to show the same commercials to everybody.

I don't mind so much that they restrict the content from us non-Canadians, but what really irritates me is that I had to sit through a 30 second Toyota ad or whatever it was before they told me the content is restricted.

Hah... reminded me of when I looked up Superbowl commercials on Youtube. Forced to watch a commercial *before* watching a commercial! Ads are everywhere

I have been craving a "Canadian sports" channel package on directv or cable down here. TSN, Sportsnet etc. I read all the complaints about commentators, coverage etc. on CP but would love to flip channels and catch curling, CFL, and various Canadian national team coverage. Give me Rod Black and all the other ones people hate - I will still take it over never ending college football.

Just an FYI that there is a chrome extension that will really help you out quite easily called Hola that can be found by googling:

'Unlimited Free VPN - Hola'

It's a free extension that lets you simulate browsing from whatever country you select.

LOL, your assuming he wants one, at 21 years old I didn't want one because there was far too much fun having different tail every week, and I wasn't a millionaire.

Embarrassing comments on IG reminded me quick why I avoid that crap.

Social media sure can make a guy feel old.. And disappointed with humanity.

You think you feel old? I have no idea what IG is.
