AFAIK, the RedBlacks have nothing like we have here. The Als is French. They also have an English version but when I checked it in the past, it wasn't very active. Not that the French one is very active either. -
Flames LOL!! 1-28 against the Ducks at the Honda Centre since 2004.

When are politicians going to give up their golden pensions & severance packages?

The fat little nutcase boy dictator doesn't have nuclear weapons yet. But he does have chemical weapons & may have the capabilities to strike Japan & Western North America. If he does test a nuclear device it'll be the end of him. Even China & Russia won't help him.

They went with an unproven rookie & had no one behind him (other than Pavelic) as they found out Hutchinson was brutal. He had a decent stretch in the last few games of the year but hopefully he's not back next season. Debatable about Pavlec's real worth as a veteran. Chevy gambled & lost. He better fix the goaltending situation over the summer. Oh, forgot. It doesn't matter if he fixes it or not as he has a #jobforlife.

Just watching the last few minutes of the Ducks-Flames game last night when Anaheim was 2 men short, first with a 5 on 3 & then on a 6 on 4... We never had goaltending like that all year. That's on our GM for that. Our goaltending sucks.

It could happen. Especially the CFL's penchant to not having competition for the rights. Or letting TSN not distribute some games to other networks. The games should be on CTV or CBC as TSN is a cable network. But the CFL burned its bridges with CTV years ago... Although Bell Media are the owners now. -

In this TV deal but what about the next? With falling ratings maybe the future rightsholder whoever that is decides not to televise all the games. -

That will be difficult. The person following will have huge shoes to fill. -
Again, what do the Jets have to do with the Flames playing Anaheim?

Jets? The Flames are playing the Ducks not the Jets.

if you think they hibernate now on CJOB then they'd be buried with Jets coverage on 1290 TSN. What do you think would happen if the Jets & Bombers had games simultaneously? The Bombers would be relegated to a feed on their their webpage. Being on CJOB is still better than sharing 1290 TSN with the Jets. -
I just shake my head when it comes to the Flames in Anaheim. They haven't won there since 2004. Have gone 27 regular season games since a win. Flames fans will point out that they have won a game there since 2004. A playoff game in 2006 but they lost the series that year. So in essence, the Flames are 1-27. Like that makes a difference. This goes beyond bad luck. The Flames are soft. Don't have the on ice leadership, character or heart to say enough is enough & put an end to it. Last night they lost because they were undisciplined. No surprise they lost. Survey says Anaheim in 4. LOL! BTW, I hate Anaheim but the Flames are pathetic.

I read it gained about 2/3 back & is actually higher than it was than a year ago. The thing is, if people are upset with United but can get a deal on tickets will they still remain angry or will money talk & they fly that airline again? I think United is counting on the fact that savings will usurp anger.
-
It'll cost the CEO his job as he was so busy backtracking like a guy slipping on ice not going anywhere.
-
These airline companies don't care about their customers. Hope that passenger nails United with a multi million dollar lawsuit & wins. Teach these airlines a message.

Thanks for the recap.

Orridge to Step Down as Commissioner

Orridge to Step Down as Commissioner
SpeedFlex27 replied to Jimmy Pop's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
According to 3 Down Football, Orridge didn't take a lot of interest in the actual everyday workings of the CFL. He was more focused on the marketing side than the football side & after 2 years it really showed with all of the off & onfield problems. That just isn't right to concentrate on one side of the league at the expense of the other & like Mr Dee said, he just didn't get it. What a freaking waste hiring Orridge. Glad he's gone. He may have been the worst Commissioner we ever had. Worse even than that grumpy old bald guy they hired back in the early 90's. I think his name was Donald Crump if I'm not mistaken. There was a guy every camera mic hated. Crump The Grump. -

Just based on how he's totally effed up the league by being the head of officiating, please no. -
Orridge to Step Down as Commissioner
SpeedFlex27 replied to Jimmy Pop's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I think the CFL should split the responsibilities. One, the Commissioner who is a football man. May have been a former GM, personnel director or coach. He liasons with teams, media & fans. His sole responsibility is to guide the league thru anything related to the onfield product from rosters to game situations. The other position would be CFL President or some other title. He works behind the scenes working on increasing revenues thru sponsorship & corporate deals. At times, they may work together on special projects like a new TV deal but generally they wouldn't. Instead of hiring a useless twit like Orridge who didn't seem to know anything about football & especially the CFL then name him Commissioner while being thrown headlong into the fire, split the duties but have a football guy handle the league, teams, media & fans. -
