Since our season is cancelled, how would MBB feel about weekly games that mirror last season, leading up to the Grey Cup? Someone could provide a link to the YouTube game and we could comment on it. Obviously, the outcome would known but we could walk, week by week, to the penultimate Grey Cup finish? Yay or nay?

F*** Cancer.

If you support openly racist people because you agree with their racist policies, you may be a racist.

All the best racists!

Ugh, gutted for him.

So, when will the CFL allow it's players under contract attend NFL camps? They should be released right away to do so.

A Liberal PM from the West (MB, SK, AB)? Underground indeed. Goodale probably had the best chance of anyone in the past twenty years. Axworthy before that (but that was pretty slim). Maybe someone from BC? I have not heard an update on Carr's health? How has he been doing?

Freeland to be the new Finance Minister. Probably the best cabinet minister available. She should be good. She's been good in her files. But, with JT leading, nothing will change. I would happily take Freeland as PM. There better not be an election this fall.

Yes, the list above is incomplete.

Wow, I can't believe they've finally indicted someone. Although, getting an indictment does not mean justice will be served. I'll be watching this. For anyone unfamiliar but interested in the murder, I recommend the Netflix documentary: ReMastered: Who Killed Jam Master Jay?

$60M, repayable over 4 years with increasing interest rates, up to 7%. The Feds don't loan out their own money. They take on debt and have to pay it back. The terms are probably similar to what they were getting on the market.

I've been critical of Ambrosie the whole time; however, when things start flying, I duck and let them hit you. I don't really care for him and perhaps that clouds my perspective but, in this case, I would be critical of anyone who went in front of gov't without a plan. I have been on the other side, receiving pitches for all sorts of funding proposals. Meetings are very short when you don't have a plan. And, trying to get another face-to-face meeting would be very hard. I suspect the Feds gave them lots of opportunities but they needed to take the same proposal that was being floated to everyone else.

The gov't said that they are working with the CFL for the 2021 season. I am hopeful this is genuine. I still think the CFL got the same deal as others. Let's discuss over a beer at the 2021 season opener! Is it June yet?

The Gov't made them a loan offer, the same as other companies.

Humanitarian relief. Let's not pretend the gov't was paying for football in the Middle East. People are starving to death. Gov't provided them a loan offer, similar to those being offered to other companies.

Beyond the long term impact that this will have on the league, I feel particularly bad for the Bombers. There was so much positive energy and relief last year, they should have expected a real surge at the gate this year. This could have propelled them for the next few years. Now, that momentum will stall. So, for 2021, will we see league wide resurgence because people realize how much they miss it or will the league suffer even more as fewer and fewer people come back?

No matter how we got here and it's inevitability, this is devastating. I feel like I was hit in the stomach reading this.

There has been little to no communication. They only admitted that they had gone in front of gov't after it was already leaked. They went in front of gov't with zero plan. That in itself is amazing in incompetence. But, we have a good international player, so all is good. Edit: Just checked CFL.ca and there zero information on what is going on. Interesting article on the 2 QB system.

Pelosi is a day late and dollar short. The election is lost to corruption. Banana Republic.

So, the Yankees gave Trump an open invitation to throw out the first ball at some point. This was a while ago but when Trump wet his diaper because Fauci threw out the ball, he suddenly announced he was going to throw out the ball on the 15th (with no real intention on actually doing it) and it caught everyone by surprise. He had a Trumper-tantrum and cancelled right away.

As they say in wrestling.... And STILL champions of the world, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers!
