Hee-hee-hee.
I can sum up everything wrong with the Maple Laffs in two words: Joe DiMaggio.
Not the actual Yankee Clipper himself (RIP), but the part where that's what the Maple Leafs are: half Yankee, half Clipper
That team is everything I HATE about the Yankees, how they literally think that they own the sport, how they spend more money than Elon Musk has, how they are fawned over and lionized in the press no matter what they do, to the point where Mets fans feel as though we are gasping for air with the national press (I imagine it's the same for Ottawa)…
…and they are also everything that crushes my soul about my Los Angeles Chokers, er, Clippers. That they constantly find new ways to embarrass themselves, from stupid trades to botched coaching hires to Elton Brand basically conning Baron Davis into coming to join him and then pantsing Baron by fleeing to Philadelphia (and Baron being so fat and useless that we threw a #1 pick at Cleveland to get him off the team…and then Cleveland won the lottery and got Kyrie Irving…) to constantly underperforming in the playoffs, whether we are the most exciting team in basketball or a collection of aging stars where the one I hate the LEAST is the guy I call "Cancer".
Put the endemic toxic arrogance of the Yankees together with the self-destructive bed-****ting of the Clippers, and you have the Leafs. Long may you moan.
(Remember, the Clippers did make it out of the 2nd round once.)
(Once.)
