The only part I hated about Discovery was the whole Klingon part. I don't like how they look, how they speak (sounds like they're talking with cotton in their mouths), the fact that they're race is supposed to be based on honor, or that they aren't following canon.
I do agree that they're not focusing enough on the space exploration part of it, but I still thought it was good.
Don't like the Klingons either. But the writing & effects are so much better than on previous series. Just check out Voyager for that on Space.

The 2018 mid terms are fast approaching and these republiCONS are trying to do as much as they can because they are probably all gone soon. Trump is gonna be ****** soon
You can't count him out no matter what. You should know this by now. Nothing is guaranteed.

Amen! I remember Leo being interviewed by Cactus Jack on OB way way back when. He was really fun to listen to. Really Brash and loved to take his shots at just about every other team in the CFL. Loved it! I think he and Matty when Matty was with the Tribune really had a feud going.
Yet, he seemed to be having fun doing it & not being an ass about it like others after him were. He said some brash things & at times they came back to bite him in the ass so he gave as good as he could get. I later became friends with Argos qb Greg Barton & if you knew him there isn't a nicer or more humble guy around. He told me hated the whole Big, Bad Argos persona as he is nothing like that & was uncomfortable with the whole thing but put up with it as it was part of Leo selling tickets.

Man, Leo Cahill passed away today. Such sad news. He was 89. For you younger fans who may know very little or nothing about him he was a colourful individual & character. A master recruiter bringing us the likes of Joe Theismann, Jim Stillwagon & Jim Corrigall to the CFL. He made the Argos the talk of the town in Toronto in the early 70's & easily made them by far the most hated team in the CFL with their brashness & arrogance. I remember being a teen & going to Winnipeg Stadium in 1971 or 72, whichever year they played at the stadium & hearing the chorus of boos rain down from the stands. And he loved every minute of it. RIP Leo Cahill.

Makes sense why they would want a guy like Franklin to come in and back up for a year and learn the offense before becoming the starter.
Wonder why AC wouldn't coach in Toronto as Trestman's qb coach? He knows his system. Would have made perfect sense.

Well they can only count to 11. Gets sketchy after that.

I read an article on the Internet that said plans are to bring Discovery back "sometime in 2019". Sorry forget the source.

Ive seen this a few times. Sometimes in the "as a man I cant even flit with a girl anymore". The easy answer is, if you dont know, you're doing something wrong. There are virtually no examples during this metoo movement of victims coming forward with tales of "he asked me out for a nice dinner" or "he said my hair looked good". Lets not confuse the issue. This is about harassment and abuse. We all know what that is.
Yes. very different from the Metoo movement and the vast majority of victims who have come forward.
Many incidents have a statute of limitations that have run out. Let's not buy into the nonsense that if someone was really a victim they'd have gone to the police already or that its such a wonderful experience to come forward. Women that come forward are treated awfully.
The major take away (and the reason I even posted the link knowing the replies that would follow), is this is the exception. Taking one instance out of countless legitimate ones and trying to de-legitimize them all is akin to doing away with the justice system because some innocent people are convicted. Some people spend a lot of energy on the false allegation rather then the overwhelmingly MORE legitimate ones.
All I know is Brown said he will be suing CTV as he should. If networks want to sensationalize & ruin lives to drive ratings then they better have rock solid sources & evidence. I hope Brown sues & wins millions & the reporter never works in journalism again.

They want to cut back on the amount of PPV's in total. The feeling had been that adding PPV's would drive network subscriptions but that wasnt the case. So extra PPV's just add expenses with very little revenue (outside of live audience ticket sales which have been soft as well). They also feel its tougher to book TV when there are the occasional long gaps between brand-specific PPV's (although to me this is more a by-product of shitty writers).
The Network was profitable but way, way, way behind estimates when they launched. They backed off on buying video libraries too because they found that the archives are not subscription drivers. In fact the only thing that is, is the Rumble to Mania season where they add a lot of subs, generally off the back of cheap or free subscriptions and then slowly lose subs the rest of the year.
Thanks for that.

It's only been 2 days... No one has won anything yet. There are still some very good players not signed. Premature topic.

Talk is WWE will be ending the brand-specific PPV's and go back to dual-branded (ie. entire roster on every PPV). I imagine it wont mean the end of the split though as they want to keep multiple touring groups.
Smackdown is so weak they really can't support their own PPV's.

So Star Trek Discovery on a hiatus until 2019 from everything I've read. How can they build momentum by killing it for an entire year?

Right and the court of public opinion just cost this man his political career.
Reputation be damned. It's all worth it, right? We all know every victim was an actual victim. No one has lied. It's all about the truth. Not a jilted lover or someone they wanted to seek revenge upon or extortion. Accusers need to go to the police & let them lay charges before accusing someone in the media of sexual misconduct. I hope CTV & the reporter are sued for multi millions & the reporter loses his/her job destroying their career. Was the woman paid to do it? Promise to be paid? To me, this was a political set up to disrupt the provincial election to make sure Patrick Brown would never be Premier & the Liberals get back in.

I hope Iso is right but I feel Henoc will always be driven by $$$.... Here's hoping we have it.
Money means nothing when teams have no intention of ever paying. Just to lure a player in to get their name on a contract. I hope Muamba has figured out that a contract in the CFL is not worth the paper it's written on. I'm hoping Muamba values trust now as well.

Actually, I did that once. It took an apology plus and extra $12,000 per annum. In retrospect, it was a mistake and my supervisor turned out to be a predator, so I quit again, even after he was fired.
Popp won't apologize & he'd cut him again id he wanted. All GMs are like that but why go back to play for him again? Money means nothing as if a team doesn't want to pay a promised bonus they don't pay. They cut. So, I don't know if money means a lot as Muamba hasn't seen money in the past that was contractually promised.

A judicious application of money soothes a lot of ruffled feathers.
Trust. If your boss fired you then a year later offered you another job would you trust him to never do it again?

I've been curious ever since this Henoc stuff broke, about your thoughts... Yiu were very vocally angry at Henoc and his agent over the whole tour thing..
I was. I think a lot were. Since then, he's been lied to & cut twice & I think that arrogant chip he was carrying has been knocked off his shoulder. I'd welcome him now.

Montreal?
Why would he go back where he was screwed? Toronto? Jim Popp was the one who screwed him. The Bombers are the only ones who respected him.

I'd love to see him here, but I think Muamba ends up in TO.
Henoc would be wise to remember what CFL team drafted him & we're the only team treated him really well when he played here.

It sincerely worries me that we can't. I really feel like people massively underrate how automatic Fever was last year. I know it's a little thing, but seriously, the guy was damn good...
Not enough reason to keep him on the roster. He can't actually play qb in a game situation. He would take up a developmental spot so he had to go.

The Star Trek Thread!

Janeway is not a likeable character. She claims to follow the Prime Directive & wants to get her crew home. Yet she ordered them to waste time, fuel & resources to explore when it should only have been about getting them home asap. She used the PD for purposes that suited her. She would pit one side in a dispute against the other for her convenience. Some of the characters like Neelix were just so damned annoying. I liked Enterprise a lot better than Voyager which is my least favourite Trek series.
