Today we have an interesting look at the conglomerate that now owns sports franchises Toronto, the Mavs waive bye to Andy Rautins, a great look at senior guard Elle Kerfoot, a player commits to NJIT, NBL, CIS and more in this edition of Canadian Content ...

We'll start off with this look on the merger of MLSE and Rogers through that big buyout annouced not long ago. Now I'm not a Buffery fan myself but he raises a pretty intersting point here and me and Franchise will nudge each other at this nugget of thought ...

Now for some pro news ...

And as we had hope of a possible stay of execution for Andy Rautins, he is waived by the Mavs yesterday. Maybe he'll get picked up by the Clippers since they've given away a hell of a lot for CP3 ... Canadian Rautins waived by Mavericks

I heard about Joseph and it’s about time that happened.

Good to hear about Tristan. I’ll have to post his game stats later on.

In 22 minutes he finished with 8-4 and 2 blocks. Also had five fouls

i was impressed with his aggressiveness in the paint.

I think it was a nice start.

He will definitely get his minutes this season.
