Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL
SpeedFlex27 replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
And it will fail. The only way another league in the US has a chance is if some big money investors start a new league that competes directly for players with the NFL in the fall. -
Belanna was a half Klingon. Her father was human. He ran out on his family.

I read that as well. We don't know how that would have played out had the series gone 7 seasons.

I think the Pon Farr only happens to single Vulcans who haven't mated. Besides, according to Star Trek cannon, Spock was half human. His mother was human & had a long marriage to his father Sarek.

Oliver Luck asking for The Moon. Instead, he'll get some moon rocks still worth a few million. -
The teams owned by NHL organizations are solid. Bob Young looks to be fine but who knows how the shutdown has affected his finances? Ottawa ownership looks solid for now despite Jeff Hunt leaving but they have to make strides or they'll be inn trouble. Braley has ground 2 franchises into the ground by cutting back budgets & unrealistic expectations of the Lions worth. Montreal was starting to come back with a popular head coach & an exciting young team. Toronto is just what it is. An unmitigated disaster with what seems no way to ever save that franchise.

Agree. DS9 was the best. The only thing I didn't like about that series was making Sisco one of the prophets. I believe in God myself but I don't go to church. For me, there was too much religion in that show almost to it's detriment. I'd have also liked Dukat to have had a better final ending. Like becoming an ally of Sisko, The way they were in the introduction of the Maquis when they worked together. They didn't like one another but begrudgingly respected the other. I wish that would have been built upon. I saw that as a lost opportunity to really make the show go in a different direction. Back to Enterprise... I liked the Xindi Arc better than the Temporal Cold War. I don't think those arcs were boring at all. I think if they waited a year to get Enterprise into space the series would have been cancelled after a single season. My premise is why go exploring into The Great Unknown with just one ship & no idea who or what is out there? Build up your defenses of Earth first & then when you have a fleet of say 5 or 6 ships then start your exploration. They should have had Trip & T'Pol get married. Serving ten years together after what they went through losing a baby & then shrugging it off by just becoming work colleagues after that in the final episode & then killing Trip off was a travesty. As was making the final episode a hologram for Ryker to study. I think not bringing T'Pol & Trip together in marriage & the whole final episode being a hologram was a final **** You by Rick Berman & Brannon Braga to fans who hated the show. Connor Trinnear said that Scott Bakula was furious with the ending but he never let his anger get in the way of filming that final episode. Trinnear also said that when the cast found out how the series ended they were all in shock.

It seems a lot of successful business owners buy sports teams to stroke their egos just like they'd buy expensive homes, boats & cars. We don't know Siegel's motivation. Just hope he becomes a good & responsible owner.

Ambrosie was ripped in the media by CFL players & politicians as being unprepared & never sought the cooperation of the players. Long time & respected CFL columnists like Terry Jones were writing stories like WTH is he doing?? The Players Association never even knew of his plans to testify before that committee. The message was give us the money or we're done & it's on you. So, there are legs to this.
-
Interesting that since Ambrosie pulled his Mea Culpa with the media & the government that things seemed to have changed. Not consulting the players & being appropriately roasted for doing so by media & politicians as well as having no business plan that the pendulum has suddenly swung from "The Season Is Lost" to "Let's All Do What We Can To Play". At least others are trying & haven't given up like Ambrosie did while asking for a handout. After being suitable shamed he seems to have gone into seclusion which might be for the best.

Truthfully, neither do you so please stop playing CFL Insider here, thanks.

I've always liked Enterprise. I think it gets a bad rap. It was criticized for the Temporal Time War & Xindi season arcs at the time. But Discovery & Picard are doing the same thing today & are celebrated for it.

Coming soon....,,... soon..... soon.... soon.... soon...

That was a classic scene from Enterprise: In A Mirror, Darkly.

Edmonton has a low infection rate. And a huge stadium perfect for social distancing...

Hey CFL, why not??? That would provide some much needed revenue. Props to Bundeslgia in Gsrmany for thinking outside the box. https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/coronavirus-german-soccer-club-to-fill-stadium-with-cardboard-cutouts-of-fans-upon-leagues-return-in-may/

I think that phrase set me off yesterday while I was making supper. Every damn commercial. Yes, I know there will be better days.

Bombers Post Operating Profit of $3.5M
SpeedFlex27 replied to Rich's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
If the Bombers pay for maintenance then that's still a good deal as I believe a stadium like IG Field would cost anywhere from half a million to a million a year to maintain. -
I'm starting to go nuts hearing commercial after commercial saying. "We're in this together". Or, "We're here for you". No, they're not. They're saying that in hopes I'll buy something from them.

I don't hate it but I think they've grown a bit too comfy in the way they do things. -

I see you added Booch to your list of people you don't like here. I'm crotchety? That's funny as there isn't a day that goes by that you don't criticize someone's opinion. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Well done, sir. -

Sorry, I don't remember that but if you say it happened then I believe you.
