Wishing everyone a calm and peaceful New Year. Amidst the challenges and hustle and bustle of modern life may we focus on inner peace and an acceptance of our value.

Dennis Schroder is an outstanding basketball player. In the NBA he is not quite good enough as a starting PG but a very capable backup. That's how good the league is.

For all those who live by the mantra "no days off" do yourself a favor and take a day off. Performance is not determined by the 'quantity' of work and recovery is an important aspect.

Did Giannis not think for a second that there would be plenty of ways to get the game ball? Acting and running around like a child is a bad look for him and the league.

T.J. Hurley proving that he was a good addition to Canada's FIBA U19 team. Never underestimate the importance of shooting in International competition and all levels.

People have very little sympathy for teachers but they are being overwhelmed at times by all of the challenges facing them and their students. We need to do a better job taking care of them.

As I leave education today here are the challenges that lay ahead: 1. Cell phone addiction-mental health 2. Apathy and attendance 3. Lack of standards for performance and behavior None of these seem a real priority for Ministry people or school boards. Changes are critical.

Thanks Rod. Always a pleasure to talk to you. You do such a great job with the #NiagaraSportsReport. Our community is lucky to have you!

Haven't seen the whole game for Canada vs Spain @fibaU19 but our shot selection has much to be desired early on. Random threes and contested twos. A combination of poor ball movement or poor decisions on behalf of the players.

A pleasure to talk Phoenix basketball with Rod this morning. Thank you for providing an incredible platform to celebrate local sports.

Canadian teams looking to get to the States for exposure opportunities should take a look at this great opportunity.

Thank you Bill.

None of these things will stop unless teams and parents decide they are not going to put up with it.

Come out Tuesday evening to support Niagara's best high school basketball players. Thank you to @CYOBBALLCOM for the team shirts, NDBRA for our officials, and @KullysSportsBar for the awards for MVP and 3 point Champion. See you @SPHIGH . All proceeds to @GilliansPlace .

"Head on a swivel" no longer applies to just help defense but also crossing the street at a four way "stop." Almost met my maker today. Forgot that stop signs are now optional. Some people are just too busy for that type of disruption to their day.

Come out and support these deserving boys May 2nd at Saint Paul High School. 6:00 tip.

Something tells me that the Harrison Barnes shot for @SacramentoKings was for the series. Draymond simply left him to ensure Fox could not get a good look. Someone else was going to have to beat them but didn't.

Of course they are biased and don't present the entire picture, but watching documentaries on Corporations and their greed and control is frightening. Everyone but the rich are at their mercy.
