I asked ChatGPT to generate an image for "Create an image of a football stadium for Princess Auto Field for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers", to see what it would come up with. It certainly has problems spelling, but love the Blue & Gold.

Or if a goalie deliberately takes his helmet off, he gets a delays of game penalty.
Anyone remember this play?

A bit of an off topic question…. Can people sitting in the 300 level go down to the main concourse? I remember you couldn’t, but it’s been years since I’ve sat up there. I’m going with a group of friends today and we’ll be up top.
I've had no problem going down to the main level from the 300 level. Metal detectors and ticket scanners happen before you enter either area. I've never seen anyone stopped from going up or down.

Was at the game last night. Not sure if it was because it was Saturday night, the team is winning, or both, but was a fun atmosphere in the building. Haven’t seen it like that in a long time.

Considering he called the cfl an unfortunate detour he will exhaust every NFL avenue before slinking back to the CFL.
Unforeseen detour. Still goes to show, NFL has always been his goal and will keep trying until there are no more opportunities.

I'll bet some network hires Belichek as an analyst. Suddenly the guy who absolutely despises the media will be a part of it making a 7 figure salary. Spit.
He could just retire. He is 71.

this is a very famous thing people talk about online. Everyone claims to remember it, but it never happened. There's a name for the phenomenon (escapes me now) but I swear it comes up once a week online.
Mandela Effect. There are a bunch that people swear happened but never did. The name comes from a common misconception that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s.

Weird article. What Jets fan was asking to get Laine back?

She is married, so if all this is true, do you see how that could cause a rift in the dressing room with the Blackhawks up and coming franchise player?

Don't know if anyone has been following the drama happening at OpenAI this past week (creators of ChatGPT).
At a high level:
- The board of ChatGPT fired CEO Sam Altman as a big surprise to everyone
- Microsoft (which owns 49% of OpenAI) offered to hire him and give him his own department for AI to run
- 70 - 80% of OpenAI employees wrote an open letter to the board saying they would quit and go work for Microsoft if they didn't re-instate Sam Altman and resign from the board
- Some board member who voted to out Altman pretty quickly changed their mind
- It looks like Sam Altman will soon be returning to OpenAI with a new board.
What's interesting (aside from all of the above shenanigans) is this quote
QuoteIt’s small (six members before Friday, and four without Mr. Altman and Mr. Brockman) and includes several A.I. experts who hold no shares in the company. Its directors do not have the responsibility of maximizing value for shareholders, as most corporate boards do, but are instead bound to a fiduciary duty to create “safe A.G.I.” — artificial general intelligence — “that is broadly beneficial.” At least two of the board members, Tasha McCauley and Helen Toner, have ties to the Effective Altruism movement, a utilitarian-inspired group that has pushed for A.I. safety research and raised alarms that a powerful A.I. system could one day lead to human extinction.
So rumour is the board thought Altman was moving too fast and reckless with AI, was not forthcoming / honest with the board in what he was doing, etc.
Will be really interesting to see where AI goes and what future iterations of ChatGPT are capable of over the upcoming years.

I wasn't aware the site had shirts.. I'd buy one just to support the community
We had shirts made the first year we opened the site. I think maybe there was a half dozen that we sold.
They are definitely a limited edition now. Don’t think I even have any anymore.

100%.... and I don't mean me. MBB could totally get accreditation for someone like you or Mark or Rich, if you were so inclined. There is an expectation to do a certain amount of actual work while there and they'll likely ask to read/hear/view some of the "product" after you're done in order to get on the list the next year, but yes, you guys absolutely could.
This site has no where near the budget (or revenue) to fly someone out to Grey Cup. And I'm really only here because I had the technical know how of how to throw a website up and keep it running (most days).
But if someone is interested down the road, we could certainly chat.

I can't even imagine what the expansion fee would be but it would probably be in the billions
Team(s) Franchise FeeFirst SeasonHouston Texans $700 million2002Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars $140 million1995Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers $16 million1976Cincinnati Bengals (AFL) $7.5-$8 million1968New Orleans Saints $8.5 million1967Atlanta Falcons $8.5 million1966Miami Dolphins (AFL) $7.5 million1966Minnesota Vikings $1 million1961Dallas Cowboys $1 million1960Original members of the AFL $25,0001960Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Pirates* $2,5001933New York Giants $5001925Original members of the NFL** $100^1920Based purely on inflation from 2002 to now, that would be $1.2B, however the Texans are now valued at $4.7B. So would an ask be around $5B?

lol since political discussion is verboten now I don't see any fights happening, unless you suddenly become a Roughrider fan lol....
If getting suspended means Grey Cup for the Blue then by all means suspend me!
I think we were not suspended and also getting along in 2021 when we won so I'm going to go with our suspensions in 2019 and the Bombers winning just being a "coincidence" lol....
Serious comment though - the Blue wore white in 2019 and won, and then wore white in 2021 and won, and then wore white again in 2022 and lost. Is it time to play a Cup game in our blue unis this time? Do we even get a choice or is it up to Montreal to decide first? Just curious. I would prefer the Blue unis this year myself.
Since the cup is in Hamilton, I believe Montreal will be the home team.

Wait, I am confused- did Treasury Board President Anita Anand make these comments? I thought it was The head of the federal Union Awada... the pic confuses me...
From the article:
QuoteWednesday morning, Treasury Board President Anita Anand said she was aware of Awada’s posts and was looking into them. “Antisemitic comments are unacceptable,” she said all the while noting that it is up to union members to deal with their leadership. PHOTO BY JEAN LEVAC/Ottawa Citizen
