  1. Lindbergh should go to jail. He wants to run an event like this then he should take responsibility for any deaths.
  2. Kasich is probably the most famous Republican to endorse Biden. And he is from a midwest Rust Belt State. Trump shas to win Ohio if he has any hopes of being President.
  3. Former Republican Governor & 2016 Presidential Republican Candidate John Kasich just publicly endorsed Joe Biden on the virtual broadcast of the Democratic National Convention this ev ening. That took some guts & probably finished his political career as a Republican.
  4. Let's donate wheat.
  5. Develop a business plan that is realistic. Not get owners who can't watch expenses.
  6. I have a story for you but in this case, I won't use the name of the person who told me as he is a facebook friend & an MP in Ottawa. He is well connected to the CFL. When Ambrosie made his sales pitch last spring asking for $130 million dollars, this politician approached him & said, "I can help you. I know the members of the Committee & how to present your proposal to them. What to say, how to say it & who to say it to." Ambrosie had no interest in talking to him, getting help or finding out what tools he would need when talking to the Committee. He talked to Ambrosie a couple of times & was rebuffed eaxh time. He called the Commissioner "clueless". Well, we know what happened. Ambrosie appeared before the committee asked for $130 million. He said the CFL would fold without it. No, the Players don't know I'm here. I have no formal plan because all I want to do is get some money from you guys & we'll take care of the rest. And by the way, the teams lost $20 million dollars last season (2019). Ambrosie's initial presentation turned into a disaster & subsequent meetings afterwards where the amount of $$$ asked kept going down. Until last night we find the Liberals turned the league down flat & the season is cancelled. First impressions are everything & Ambrosie blew it
  7. Government sounded more like loan sharks.
  8. Put on your hard hat & watch out for objects flying at your head from the apologists.
  9. Don't agree. The NHL is almost half American with players allowed into Canada from almost every State plus the Euros coming back. You do know of the two NHL bubbles, right? That wasn't the issue at all. The feds didn't want to be involved & that was it.
  10. In his hey day, Marty York was great for the CFL. He was always coming out with stories in the Globe & Mail about the CFL & scoops. The guy still loves the CFL but has no love for the other sports teams in Toronto, especially the Blue Jays. If we had more Marty Yorks in the national media this league would be in a lot better place on the Canadian sports landscape. The CFL certainly would be relevant in Toronto. I follow him on twitter.
  11. Bottom line it doesn't matter where you live. If people don't social distance & wear masks then things can go south pretty fast. We've seen that this summer with the riots in the States, over 250,000 people in Sturgis, SD, Grand Beach being overcrowded & mostly young people not taking social distancing seriously & partying all across Canada no matter what province. Anyone who rants about having to wear a mask or that the virus is a hoax needs to have their heads examined.
  12. Congrats!!! You got it... TrueBlue4ever
  13. That isn't me although I wish.
  14. Who is this quarterback?
  15. Ah, let's all go fishing in Manitoba. That always works to take the trials & tribulations away. however, we must remember to social distance.
  16. Congrats bigg jay!! Jim Heighton DE #58 Blue Bombers 1970-78.
  17. This guy was an exceptional football player. Who is "this guy" pouncing on a fumble & what position did he play? Do you know his number??
  18. At least Bighill has a career in financial planning going for him if football falls through.
  19. C'mon Noeller get with the program. You've now hit 40. You are now in the second & last phase of your lonnnng life. What you do with yourself from now on counts for nothing because there are less sunsets in your future. This is a world for young people. You should be willing to sacrifice your life for theirs so they can have jobs & work. You should be doing it gladly... That seems to be the message from Pallister, Kenney, DeSantis in Florida & Trump. All of which who will use their influence to save their lives while sacrificing others if they get sick.
  20. Wow! Best live performance of this song that I've ever seen. David Gilmour was on the top of his game here. Maybe it was the atmosphere. The city of Pompeii & the concert inside an ancient Roman Colliseum but Gilmour seems inspired here. A couple of things really stand out for me in this video. One, the drummer is having the time of his life playing while grinning from ear to ear throughtout the entire song. Two, at 6:48 an audience member reacts like, "What did I just see??!!" as the pyro goes off & the grand finale of the song is taking place. He puts his hands in the air & then grabs the back of his head in awe like it's something he's never experienced before. Music moves, comforts & inspires us in so many ways.
  21. It's not up to us or the league as something to look forward to. It's up to the Covid virus & if we can control it. Looking at the US, we can't.
