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.

Ehhhh he's watching Mixed Doubles. It's the Beer Pong of curling...
It took decades to get curling into the Olympics. How did this abomination make it so fast?

I wish the title of this thread was SHOULD Walters Go All Out At MLB? Instead of Will. How the hell do we know what Walters will do?

I thought so too a bit. More so, I thought it was unnecessary. If you're just going to grow more, dont make a big deal about killing your entire supply.
They also need to knock off the facade of "below decks". I think this was likely a change when Fuller left. originally they said the show would focus more on junior officers like the TNG episode Below Decks. But firstly, that isnt the case. The Captain, First Officer, Admiral are all focuses. We're on the bridge constantly.
The issue is, when deciding that your main Doctor isnt the CMO and your main engineer isnt the Chief Engineer, you create problems. Where the heck are they? This was especially glaring during the briefing room scene. Why assemble all these junior officers but not have the CMO, Chief Engineer and even tactical officer (Ash was but surely he's been replaced).
I wont break the balls over it now. But season 2 needs to reconcile this by casting a CMO and Chief Engineer.
Hopefully Lorca is back.

Holy ****!! Unfortunately not surprised. Budget may be decent up here but they're a joke in the US. I used them last fall on a trip to Portland for US Thanksgiving. Their rental office is a 15 minute shuttle ride from the airport. All the others are in the Portland Airport. They wouldn't do an inspection with me when I picked up my car. Just, "Oh, don't worry about that scratch. Don't worry about that dent. We won't charge you." Like really? Then they didn't have a proper inspection form so I had to write all the damage down I saw on a piece of paper. My piece of scrap paper that I had. I used my phone to take a picture of every dent & scratch I found when I took the car. It was late evening, dark & raining. The parking lot I picked the car up at didn't have proper lighting so it was extremely dim. I had a hard time seeing any damage. I felt that I was being scammed. That they could accuse me of damaging the rental when the damage was already there. The Budget agent told me to hang on to the rental agreement with my damage report attached FOR A FEW MONTHS. A few months??? Last time I ever use them. Stay away from Budget in the US.

Well, part of the problem with previous OLs was the lack of receivers who could stretch the field. Teams could keep more defenders in the box when they played the Bombers.
Receivers have nothing to do with the ability to block. Either you can or can't.

How can the Riders sign all these players & be under the cap? Today I read that now they're in the running to sign Adarius Bowman. How can they sign every expensive veteran player out there??
