Yesterday, my good friend Jason Kurylo demonstrated just how wrong he can be at times: he published a list of the ten sports movies that you really ought to re-watch. The post’s purpose was the same as all posts of that nature: to make people argue with the author. So argue with him I shall. Cool Runnings, Jason? COOL RUNNINGS??

Seven Things We Want To See From The Whitecaps This Year
A movement has been afoot of late on the twitter to make every Wednesday a #WhitecapsWednesday.
