About this listen

Steve Dangle’s incredible odyssey, from self-starting Leafs lover to sports-media star.

How do you turn ranting about hockey into a career? Steve “Dangle” Glynn is a YouTuber, podcaster, and sports personality from Toronto who managed to turn a 16-second online rant about the Maple Leafs into a career in sports media. From video blogging in his parents’ house at 19 to yelling on televisions across Canada at 28, Dangle has been involved with some of the most important sports companies in the country.

In between tales of Steve’s adventures, both online and off, This Team Is Ruining My Life is also a kind of how-to (or how-not-to) guide: in an ever-evolving media landscape, sometimes, you have to get creative to find the job you want. This is Steve Dangle and his accidentally-on-purpose journey through sports media so far.

Critic reviews

“Folks always say to me, ‘When Coach’s Corner is on, no one in our house is allowed to talk.’ I reply, ‘Neither am I.’ Now I find myself hushing my own household when Steve is on. Steve says he’s taken a page from us, but I know it’s novel. Enjoy.” (Ron MacLean, Coach’s Corner)

“A wonderful look at the rickety ladder to success in sports media and how one can invent their own way of climbing it. Revel in Steve’s journey from irritated Leafs fan yelling into a webcam to irritated Leafs fan yelling into much more expensive cameras.” (Greg Wyshynski, senior NHL writer, ESPN)

“A hilarious, inspiring account of how a kid who could barely skate managed to navigate a turbulent period in the Canadian media industry to become one of the most unique voices in our sport.” (Chris Johnston, senior hockey writer, Sportsnet)

Outstanding

I have been a fan of Steve’s YouTube channel, as well as the podcast. This book was a fantastic backstory to add context to Steve’s success, The highs and lows he went through during his uphill battle. Truly inspiring, I enjoyed every second. I would recommend this book to everybody, hockey fan or not.

Fly your flag bro

To not love Steve is to hate puppies and sunshine.

Steve has an immutable enthusiasm that he gleefully and lovingly shares with anyone within reach. We should all be so lucky to be Dangled.

Bro wherever you are, fly your flag and know you're awesome.

Our travel companion!

On a long road trip up to Toronto from our current home in Denver, we enjoyed listening to Steve tell us about his personal journey and his insightful and hilarious commentary on our much-beloved and frustrating Leafs. We listened to the entire book straight through and it was a lifesaver on the road. Excellent work!

Steve tells his life story (so far)

Steve’s memoir is already lively just on the page, but due to it being narrated by the man itself it makes it all the more authentic. The story will make you laugh, cry, and want to hug this man for all that he has been through.
