one of my favourite lines today....

Getting Joe Biden into the highest office will go a long way to America getting their **** together re:COVID. Having someone that listens to doctors can only help....

as both a fan of election coverage, and as a broadcaster who has worked elections for nearly 20 years, I've come to worship this John King on CNN.....

Further from our man Tait:

TL/DR: So basically, they're going to do a random draw to determine the order of what will be a snake draft. Also reducing it from 8 rounds to 6....

really appreciate that you knew EXACTLY what I was thinking when I made that comment...ha ha.

This..... even the O/G companies seem to be more interested in achieving environmental benchmarks than the AB gov't, which just wants things to look like 1996 (...which, as we know, I'm normally a big fan of, but not in this instance....)

Chris Jones is the anti-MOS. Where MOS supposedly was on the watch, during TCs, for how players treated ladies and various office personnel (opening doors, etc), Chris Jones likely encouraged players to throw old ladies and children out of the way as they raced for exit doors....... or something to that effect.

Seth Meyers called this last week... Sickening.

It's West Semi-Final Week!! We've got Calgary in Calgary this Sunday afternoon. Call me crazy, but I just have a really good feeling that with a healthy Zach Collaros, we've got a shot in this thing. If Streveler is healthy enough to run some short yardage packages, it'll help, but having Collaros starting, we've absolutely got a shot. Weather is cold, but should be a good day for football. Can't wait for Sunday!!!!!!

Nucks owners have said they are not interested in buying the Lions at this time....

I am still laughing at "Y'all-Qaeda"...

Gord and Matty would be their best pairing, but Rod's not bad.....

I've never thought Rod Black was THAT bad, but Gord Miller is definitely the guy who should take CC's spot. But, I'd also rather have Dunigan on colour than Suitor, who I really dislike.

Most of this is useless, but toward the end they mention that TSN is planning "extensive" Grey Cup coverage, week of Nov 16-22. I'll take it...

a little bit of info here, anyhow.... they're REALLY going to try hard to find a way to play in a "worst case scenario" situation, and hope it doesn't come to that...

they're already here....Sask got a provincial majority with a Trump-believing government, and lord knows Alberta has been this way for a long time now. Some would say a big chunk of Manitoba endorses a similar type of politics.

I'm sure it's just these ridiculous endorsements by athletes getting to me, but I'm absolutely terrified right now that Trump is going to find a way to pull this off.....

Still do - no question. It's Quebec, MB, AB, On.... in that order. The way AB has handled things is garbage...Kenney cares about the economy, not lives.

Sick to my stomach thinking about this. Almost 9% tp. Lock everything down.

media expecting some major announcements at 12;30 today...going to be an important presser.

Couple things -- the broadcasts on the blurays actually belong to someone else who made me a copy. I call it "for medicinal purposes" And yes, I'm in broadcasting and am fully aware of how illegal it is to re-broadcast someone else's content. Even if there's no money being made from it, it's still wildly illegal. Moreso, I'm just wishing aloud for an opportunity to create some sort of virtual get together to watch these games..... but we'd need TSN to re-broadcast them for us to make it work. I have no idea what the logistics are, but I desperately want the CFL to get its act together regarding it's televised content from the last 60+ years. Not sure how the rights work for CBC, CFN, and TSN archival games, but we desperately need them in an on-demand format. I'll pay literally any amount per month to have legal access to those games.

in the last two days, both Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Orr (???) publicly endorse Donald Trump...... for some reason. Bobby Orr took out a huge ad in a newspaper in the States. Just insanity. Hopefully doesn't help anything...

well, Ambrosie didn't say much today, but he did say they're working on a plan to be able to play with no fans or limited fans next year. Not sure HOW exactly, but they're at least figuring out ways to do it if they had to. So it's something. They're doing a bunch of Grey Cup Week stuff in a few weeks (virtual) and one event is a "Fan State Of The League Address" thing with Ambrosie, so hopefully he'll have more details then. I remain hopeful...
