This is the fallout a decade later of Leonard Asper bailing at the 11th hour after he had proposed to help finance the stadium. The Bombers couldn't have been expected to carry such a heavy load.

Blue Bloods wraps up Season 11 with a two hour epsisode tonight. Hopefully, they can come back with a 22 episode season next year. It was hard following BB this year as they spread a 16 episode season starting in November instead of September. to May There were gaps between episodes throughout the season.

The last time I ever hitch hiked. Horrible experience. Which is why I'm surprised an NHL player under contract would just let it happen. I don't believe assistant coaches let alone a lowly video coach wields that much power.

True story. In 1976, there was a Winnipeg Transit strike in February. I always took the bus to the U of W where I was attending. I tried hitch hiking the first day of the strike. I was walking north on Osborne Street close to Confusion Corner when a big Caddy stopped & the guy inside said, "Get in". I told him I was on my to schoo,l & would appreciate him dropping me off at the Bay which he said okay. About a minute or two into the ride he put his hand on my thigh & was smiling at me. Never said a word to me. The guy was a fat **** in his 50's. I told him to stop but he squeezed even harder. I realized I was in danger so I figured I had to do something. I started punching him as he drove, banged on my door, started kicking the dash with my feet. I was screaming I was going to kill him if he didn't stop. I remember giving him a couple of shots with my fist to the side of his face. He quickly pulled over & I bailed. So, as I was in a bad situation & felt I had to do something... punching the guy's lights out was a definite possibility. If he hadn't stopped I don't know what I'd have done. I might have killed him as I was ina panic. I kept what happened to myself. Never told my parents or friends. I didn't go back to classes until the strike was over. So, punching a guy's lights out? Yeah.

I meant punching the guys lights out if he makes advances & the player feels threatened. Otherwise yeah just leave.

Was the anonymous player watching porn with the video coach? Also seems to me that if this video coach makes unwanted sexual advancement to a grown man who is a professional hockey player he could punch the guy's lights out in self defense, no problem. I know I would. This is just strange.

Politicians worry more about being elected & pandering to their base instead of doing the right thing & shutting things down completely.

Double post so I just picked one to delete.

For me, I want to get that second shot. Hopefully, this means the second shot is comong sooner.

The AB govt threw vaccinations wide open today. All Albertans age 12 & up today can book vaccine appointments & 112,000 people made appointments. Just today.

Maybe the need is there for Grade 13 in provincial high schools across Canada for students to catch up. As a kid who struggled with math & the sciences I could have used another year. Having math deficiencies certainly shapes educational decisions you make as well as having career implications the rest of your life.

Afford Tortorella? Why the .... would we even want him? Have you not been following the NHL the past decade???

The NFL wouldn't be the juggernaut it is now without the vision of Ed & Steve Sabol who founded NFL Films. They did unique storytelling about the NFL & it's players. Now there is an historical library of the greats on film & video in their library going back to the early 60's. One of the most famous was Football Follies & "Hey Mom". They credit those videos with really launcing the popularity of NFL Films. So, in honour of Mothers Day today. For all our Moms out there.... https://youtu.be/CP1ZtcH5RQM

Yeah, love that idea. I don't think Jpan said that.

Wow, sign a player from Germany & surely the Deutchmarks will come... "Papa. wollen Fang spielin???"

No, even though it may seem that way, I just think the CFL has to look at the way they do business in everything they do. It shouldn't just be all about cutting personnel, players & team expenses. Everything they do needs to be examined financially for new opportunities as well as the way to do things better &/or more profitably. Their business model is broke. Nothing they do should be a sacred cow, so to speak. If they can't look at other ways to make money then they have to seriously look at an infusion of money from outside investors like Redbird Capital & the XFL to stay alive.

Nothing has been announced in Alberta.

But not an ad as soon as the game is over to get your team championship merch like RIGHT NOW when it's hot!!! The stuff the players are wearing on tv in the locker room.

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing the CFL does not do so it misses out on revenue. What do we see the minute a Super Bowl champ is crowned? The NFL selling tee shirts & caps with the name of the Super Bowl champs on them. We don't do any of that. I can't believe just how cheap the CFL is or just short sighted. I hate to say this as I'm 60 plus but it doesn't help having a 55-60 year old insurance salesman in Ambrosie running the league instead of someone like a sharp Mark Cohon who knows how to promote, market & advertise. Letting him get away was a huge mistake but not really a surprise.

Just like single game betting. How much revenue will that bring in for the CFL?

We just don't know when the second shot is coming.

Like Alberta who never closed K-6 schools until today, Kenney knows his base wouldn't be happy as school is only convenient babysitting for a lot of parents. So, elementary schools were the last to be closed. Palliser is afraid of a revolt if schools close.
