so the Comedy thing....they've been doing this for awhile now. Did it in Calgary about 10 years ago....and other markets as well. It's extremely cheap for them because there's no announcers, basically. It's all pre-programmed stuff that is CHEEEEEEEEAP. It's a major $$$ saver for them.

Stamps apparently really wanted Evan Johnson for their OL, which has lost a couple important pieces. Now scrambling to find another potential starter...

They've been doing it for years, so I don't suspect a lot will change. Keep in mind, this isn't the first time they've had the rights to all teams. They've got good, smart people in that building...hopefully Corus is smart and keeps them all happy.

Calgary has a Sportsnet Radio "all talk" station......not sure it could handle both a TSN and Sportsnet radio.. I know they like to think they're Toronto-West, but don't think there's really enough ears for both companies...

to not tell the employees first is sickening..... that f***ing company, man....

absolutely gutted for friends and co-workers at Bell Media over the last couple of weeks. Sickening. There was a time in my life where I wanted nothing more than to work in Winnipeg or Calgary radio. With age and experience I've come to realize that the job security in a smaller market is worth far more than the money or "prestige" (insert eyeroll) from working in a bigger market. The constant turnover....one bad ratings book is all it takes.....is just not worthwhile. Ugh. Brutal day for media, brutal day for sports fans in Wpg. CJOB is great, but having less sports talk overall is a bad thing for the city.

UK variant discovered in MB. Related to international travel. 5 household contacts...no evidence to suggest community transmission at this time.

Riders also sign both of the Herdman twins...

go back to the good old days....Edmonton Edmontons.......

So you think there's enough people within the UCP voting ranks that would "Vote Rachel"? I feel like if disenchanted UCP voters were going to "hold their nose" to vote, it'd still be for Kenney, rather than have to vote NDP. But, again, I'm a bit jaded because I live in rural AB, which can really be like rural AL at times....

LT is second most important... Without question. Medlock is important but if Legghio is as good as they say, it should be alright... Plus they can go NI at P, and use a DI elsewhere. And nothing is where the bar is...?

Until I actually see the NDP defeat a united Con party, I'm not sure I can believe it. Their one win in 50 years was because the PC's and Wild Rose split the Right. Would love to see another Notley win in 2023, but....

Walters said this morning they won't be active in FA. Said his money is all but spent. Don't expect anything particularly interesting tomorrow.

the ones I really don't like are the lacross -type names... "Extreme" and **** like that.

Really interesting stuff.... Whitehead, based on his social media, would really like to come back, but I'm sure wants to maximize his value. Miles and Rush are two guys I thought would be slam dunks to return....guess not. Exume might want to be closer to home and Peterman just wants a place to start. Fair enough.

Yeah, TBH, now that he's not a Jet, I couldn't care less if I never heard about Patrick Laine ever again.

I preferred the JLo/Shakira one to this, but this isn't terrible. It's not my kinda music but I can get into this. Nice to see a Canadian kid in the biggest promotional stage... Also, Gronk is such a freak of nature. Has there ever been a greater red zone producer? Also also, Tom Brady is just ageless. It's like Roger Federer... Until he quits, nobody will be able to take him down. The closest thing to Michael Jordan in any other sport...

Arbuckle article earlier this week has quotes from him saying he thinks Ottawa really wanted Nichols and waited out his situation in Toronto... in turn stalling on their negotiations with Arbuckle.... He's pretty angry about it.

there was a quote on Twitter just the other day from (I believe) Jamie Nye in Sask, who said that TSN's money covers the players payroll for each team. So that part, apparently, is true...

Rex Murphy is Canada's answer to a Fox News correspondent. Complete and total garbage.

Well this thread feels mildly racist, sexist and who knows what else....

I can't imagine it ever getting to this, but what an awful Sophie's Choice. I want NO PART of merging with another league.
