Presidential Debate moderator Steve Scully (@SteveScully) deleted his account after getting caught conspiring against Trump by posting a tweet meant as a DM, and then claiming he was "hacked."
This is according to Gateway Pundit isn’t it. Not exactly the most reliable source of information.
I just went to Twitter and his account is still there - it’s now protected.

Finally, the concern I raised about fans “deserving” to buy their way on to the Cup base when players have to win to get their name on the Cup itself. When I discussed this (was talking to Carol Barrott, who I would always trust with any Bomber info) and specifically asked if the players would be bothered by this, she claimed that the players she has talked to love the idea. She said they recognize what the fans have done to prop up the league and keep it going throughout the years, so it is cool that those names “can now hold up the Cup, just like they have held up the CFL”. Now she did acknowledge that she is in sales so she knows she is doing a sales job, and the players are getting a cut of the profits, but hearing that did put my mind at ease a fair bit, and I can see the rationalization when it is explained that way.
I believe her. I've seen a number of tweets made by a number of players from all the teams promoting it. I have yet to see a player say anything negative about it.

I have been a CFL fan since 1965. I was a season ticket holder with the Bombers for nearly 20 years. However, I don't consider myself to be any better than you. Or others posters. Yes, I've seen more than most here from monumenmtal games to great players of the past but I have never thought or wished my name would appear with the Grey Cup in the Hall Of Fame. I've done nothing to warrant my name be with the Cup in any way, shape or form.
Then I think you are selling yourself short.

So what, Jacquie? if I go to the Canadian Football Hall Of Fame & see the Grey Cup why should anyone's name be on a base when the players names & teams are on the Cup? Just because they have a spare $400??? These names have no business in the CFHOF.
Fans are the reason there is a CFL. We all know fans who have been season ticket holders for decades or who have spent thousands on gear or have decorated rooms in their homes in their team’s colours or have taken half/full days off work to drive to games from out of town, etc. (heck, I know a person who has done all that and more). Spending $400 to have your name on the fan base is not something a casual fan is going to do. So why shouldn’t people who have followed and cheered and supported the League for most of their lives have this opportunity. Do I wish it was cheaper? Yeah I do because I would do it in a heartbeat.
It looks like this will just be another thing we will have to agree to disagree about.

I think the point Speedflex is trying to make is even though the Grey Cup trophy itself won't physically be altered, the fact they're offering space on a "Grey Cup base" dilutes its' history and renown...
Or maybe some people simply made a mistake of thinking “fan base” meant “trophy base”.

All due respect, Jacquie but you can't just dismiss TrueBlue4ever's comments as he's right. The base is part of the Grey Cup. Emblematic of the best team in the CFL which has nothing to do with having enough money to buy a spot on the championship base. Why not put sponsor's logos on it as well to raise money??? What about that?
Have you actually looked at the pictures of it?

The Cup is won by the players and coaches, they have worked to earn their right to have their name engraved on it. Even if it is just a "fan base", I see no reason why I should get to immortalize myself on a part of the Cup as a fan. Already have my name in the concrete paving stone in front of IGF, so they have honoured my fandom in that fashion. JMO.
You do realize the fan base is not part of the actual trophy, don’t you.

I can’t find the tweets but one person asked why Trump was windmilling like that and another responded that it was a side effect of windmill cancer. 😆

I thought Tiffany was the invisible child. But Law? Wow, good for here.
Still feels a bit Legally Blonde.
You’re right about being invisible. I can’t remember reading or seeing anything about her and her father being in the same building since the RNC convention in 2016.

I don't know who the hell Tiff is,
She is his daughter by his second wife, Marla Maples. She’s the smart one - she graduated from Georgetown University Law Center earlier this year.

Bejebus, how can the heads of the GOP not explode when they see tweets like this?
Especially since the company banned all political clothing, hats, etc from the workplace- not just MAGA crap.

Marble Club, Wiseguys, Norma Jean's and the Palamino Club were the in spots for the Jets 1.0 and the visiting teams. And yes I know that because my friends and I worked at the games and went to those places after. The first three places were good for the visiting teams since they stayed at the Westin (now the Fairmont).
