My point is Toronto doesn't deserve to have a WC game. Edmonton would have been a better choice. It was completely a political choice.

Putting SWAT in Friday's former Blue Bloods time slot was the kiss of death for that show. A lot of anger out there for Blue Bloods cancellation & fans took it out on the sacrificial lamb that replaced it. No, baseball reference.

Star Wars has become a British sci fi franchise. Their ideas & styles of sci fi is different what is done here in the US & Canada when it comes to acting & writing. To me, they've strayed away from the vision George Lucas had for Star Wars. Twenty five yars ago, I could have debated this issue with other Star Wars fans here but today I barely know the names of the main characters anymore. I just know that I've watched every Star Wars movie & just can't get excited about it anymore. If a new motion picture comes out I'll probably not watch it.

All things come to an end. He was a great player for us.

Wouldn't surprise me if Randy sticks around for another year. I always felt Campbell isn't as good as his reputation claimed. Certainly nowhere close to his father. What he did in BC last year cutting VAJ at the knees was mind blowing. If the league really wanted to get sticky about this, they could force the Lions to give them both back. That would deter teams from offsetting like you described.

Don't criticize The Trinity. It'll upset Noeller.

I'm old so I should. Everything from old movies to music genres to sports "You're going to be our Brian Doyle". Got that right away.

A lot of the actors in Billions were part of the Suits TV & BE series.

No, never said that. I just looked at the stadiums in Mexico & the US. You have to wonder why we're even involved. Edmonton has a much better venue than TO & CWS hosted World Cup qualifiers before yet politics played a hand in giving Toronto a series of World Cup games. Just because...

We don't need to make a big move. No one is trading a superstar anywhere. But that doesn't mean we don't need to make a move.

There should be a 75000 seat soccer stadium in Toronto for international matches like most countries have in one of their cities. If there is no push by govt to build that size of facility than I don't see any way for an NFL team in Toronto to come to a fruition.

Just finished binge watching Boardwalk Empire. Little darker series than The Sopranos. They kill most of the main characters off. I thought the plot twist at the end with Tommy Darmody killing Nucky Thompson was brilliant. The only character I was sad to see him go with his demise was John Harrow, the crook who wore a mask to hide his half blown off face suffered during WW1. His character really grew on me as the series went on. Now watching Billions Season 1. Taking a bit longer to get into it like BE. But I intend to watch it all.

Taxes in Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal & Vancouver.

Or they'd rather lie on a beach counting their money or play golf on their days off.

Huge signing for the Jets back then as Dave was an Olympic hero & had a pretty decent career as a Jet. I think Scott Arniel was his linemate. You have to wonder why players wouldn't want to come to Winnipeg for a Stanley Cup run. We're talking, depending upon how deep the run is, 2-3 months max.

Mexico City has a 72,000 seat stadium. Guadalajara has a 45000 seat stadium. The NFL has 11 NFL stadiums hosting events. Canada has 2 stadiums. BMO & BC Place with a capacity of 52000 seats. They could have used CWS in Edmonton with a capacity of 58000 but decided not to.

The one game I picked that season to drive in from Calgary by myself to come see with my friend who lived in Winnipeg & it was that one.... It wasn't Boltus. It was "Big Chris" Streveler.

They're putting 15000 temporary seats in BMO. Most countries use a world event like the WC to build legacy structures. Our sports infrastructure in this country really sucks. The biggest city in Canada has a stadium currently seating 27,000.

Would you want him back here?

More like 805,000 plus or 890,000 for CMA but whatever... https://data.winnipeg.ca/City-Planning/City-Of-Winnipeg-Population/mhuw-u7yg/data_preview

We should have a WHL team but we know how that worked out. They could have played at the canada Life Center the way the Hit Men share the Saddledome with the Flames & Wranglers but Chipman didn't want them. Also, someone bring me up to speed but why couldn't the arena for the Ice ever get built?

The sad thing about all these actors who quit hit shows is their egos always get the better of them. How many of them actually get a job in another TV series? Most just fade into obscurity.

Could be but actors come & go like crazy on all of D i c k Wolf's tv series. It does affect ratings especially when lead actors constantly leave.

Dylan McDermott's character Remi Scott is probably one of the most least likeable lead characters on police procedurals today. Add to that the constantly changing cast on both FI: Most Wanted & FBI: International & it's no surprise the 2 shows were cancelled. I hate Fire Country, I don't know why, really. I watched a few episodes & just tuned out so I don't get why it may get a spinoff. Back to the two FBI's. I'm surprised they didn't renew FBI: International. But once again, the way they explained the disappearance of the Fly Team's former boss Scott Forrester played by Luke Kleintank was so bogus. Hiding out with his double agent mother in Russia & throwing away not only his career with the FBI but also spend the rest of his life in an American prison as a traitor, if arrested. I mean, truly a **** explanation.
