  1. I thought he was the director of the sports programming (or something)?
  2. Bob plays a big role at CJOB. I wonder if goes into semi-retirement and calls games for TSN1290? Best of both worlds, I guess.
  3. They have insurance, which would pay the settlement.
  4. Cut in the Provincial budget. Civil unrest, brother vs brother, sister vs sister, father vs son (I might have already said that with brother vs brother?), tooth vs tooth. Or possibly, Orridge's last act as commish?
  5. You still need a 'face' of the CFL and someone who can articulate the direction and policies of the league. Power or no power, the Commissioner is that 'face'.
  6. What? Why? This is out of nowhere. Didn't love him but didn't have a large enough sample size to determine if he was doing a good job. Must have a good offer from the US.
  7. That's an interesting move for Dallas. Hitchcock only signs one-year deals. Low risk move but it says that they think they're ready to win now (and Hitchcock thinks that too). Really thought Hitch would retire. Wonder if Dallas can solve their goaltending problems?
  8. Okay, but, unlike a CFL contract, it's not a signing bonus, it's a bonus paid on your previous year's work (or company's performance).
  9. You earn vacation as you go along, not in advance. Most people retire early in the year because the tax implications on severance and/or bonus payments.
  10. This is their Press Secretary. Good god, imagine what this group says behind closed doors!
  11. That's hitting my wallet to the tune of $25K. We were just about to start claiming.
  12. That's a different sort of topic. What change most affects you?
  13. There are ten million problems. We can help solve 10,000 problems. Solving 10,000 problems sound like a pretty good deal to me.
  14. They didn't make an Iron Man 3. It. Never. Happened.
  15. Interesting casting with Cate Blanchett as Hela. I assume that she will be Loki's daughter, consistent with the comic books? I like Cate, so this should be interesting. I'm looking forward to Thor vs Hulk in the gladiator arena.
  16. I'm not sure why they're being evasive. I would imagine this work is related to the structural defects identified in the ongoing litigation between Triple B (et al) and builders and architect.
  17. Chicago (4) St Louis (7) Ducks (6) Oilers (7) Habs (6) Bruins (6) Caps (5) Pens (5)
  18. NHL Playoffs? Never heard of it.
  19. Yeah, United is pretty crappy company and Air Canada can be too. In December, my wife and oldest son (7), were flying Ottawa - Toronto - Winnipeg. The flight out of Ottawa was delayed but still in time to make the Toronto connection. Air Canada gave away their seats to standby customers over an hour before the second flight was scheduled to depart. AC explained that the itineraries were not connected (Ottawa to Toronto and Toronto to Winnipeg were separate), even though they were booked as a continuous flight. The kicker, was that they were using the same plane, so there was no way that the flight from Toronto to Winnipeg could leave without the first flight arriving. Then, AC said they would have to wait on standby themselves to see if anything would open. When two seats did open, they were going to seat them at separate ends of the airplane. My seven year-old son was understandably upset.
  20. United always oversells. And Air Canada does too: http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/air-canada-bumping-overbooking-airline-1.4060820
