Toronto Raptors fans attempting to talk trash prove Canada is too nice for its own good
Canada is new to this NBA Finals thing. Until 2019, our upstairs neighbor had never hosted a single NBA Finals game, whether in Toronto or Vancouver or [checks notes] actually that's about it. They have a lot to learn, from advanced concepts like courtside celebrity conduct to American sports staples like trash talk, but the latter, in particular, is proving to be a tricky fit for the notoriously nice nation. Just ask Jimmy Kimmel, who found out the hard way on Wednesday, taking to the streets of Toronto to solicit some sick burns from the good, pure folk of Ontario. Viewer discretion is NOT advised.

To the surprise of no one, the Swedes dominate Canadian Open hockey net challenge
It's Canadian Open week, which means plenty of Happy Gilmore references, DJ crushing tee shots in Gretzky jerseys, and the creative minds at Loop HQ helping Rickie's mullet reach its final, glorious form. While the promotional theme of the week could just as easily be maple syrup or Nickelback, it's mercifully our second favorite stick sport, which has given way to content gold like this: Five tour pros trying to smash 285-yard stingers from the blue tees line into a hockey net propped up in the center of the fairway. Let 'em rip, fellas.

What people really love, well, Twitter people, many of whom are sick in the head, is a little sexual innuendo, something Kerr is apparently quite good at as well.
Prior to the NBA Finals, Kerr caught up with Guillermo Rodriguez, also known as Jimmy Kimmel's security guard who has now become Kimmel's sidekick. Kimmel sent Rodriguez to NBA Media Day prior to the..
