Dear @NHL. Please refrain from doing anything crazy & radical until "Game Day: The Uncensored Life of an NHL GM" comes out in Oct. It just went to the printer via @SimonSchusterCA, and @DougMaclean & I want it to still be relevant in a couple of months. Sincerely, Greg & Doug

I treasured the times I got to interview Dory Funk Jr., the former NWA World Heavyweight champion who died today on August 4. He was always insightful and happy to chat -- once you got him on the phone and past his gatekeeper.

I was just on the Getting Colour podcast, with Dr. Conor Heffernan, an Irish sports historian, and Toronto's Jeff Russo. We actually recorded two podcasts, and the first dropped here:

I just got off the phone with Gilles Gratton, wishing him a happy 74th birthday. He's as chill as ever, with no big plans for his birthday. Celebrate his oddness by ordering a copy of the @ecwpress autobiography I worked on with him, Gratoony the Loony! oliverbooks.ca/hockey-books/g…
