A First Nations Basketball team was banned from competing in a tournament after a dispute with a ref from an earlier tournament. This week we look at racial discrimination and human rights. We also delve into offensive sports team names and fans actions.
Look…I know everyone that’s reading this has, at one point or another, been too invested in a team…more than likely the Blue Jays. I know I have been and I’m not ashamed to say it. Watching sports is my getaway from reality for two to four hours a couple of […]
Where to begin? My spiral into depression happened rather quickly. I’d always been one who’d suffered from intense anxiety and panic attacks throughout my childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood, but over the years I had done a lot of work and self-help and was able to calm those waters… or […]
What a whirlwind it’s been. On January 9th, the NSR team got a message from Matt asking us to be available for a conference call that night. For context purposes, most of our business is conducted via email or by text, so a conference call meant something was up. This […]

I joined on with Barry and Matt back in March of 2017, when Outta The Park hadn’t even started yet. In fact, that wasn’t even the original name! During the evolution of the show a community was formed. Through this community I’ve met some absolutely wonderful people and have formed […]
About this time last year Matt wrote a blog about the Roberto Alomar Golf Classic. Don’t let that deter you from reading mine though, because this will be good too. I can pinpoint when I started to follow Barry Davis on twitter. I had just been to Cleveland in 2016 […]
