    Dana's version of what happened: "Conor and approximately 20 guys apparently were let in through the doors by The Mac Life guys (McGregor’s media company), who were credentialed here,” White said. “They opened the doors [at the venue] for him through an entrance, they stormed the building, got down to the loading docks where the fighters were getting on the buses" https://www.sportsnet.ca/mma/ufcs-dana-white-rips-conor-mcgregor-disgusting-actions/

    He might temporarily have issues but i dont see it being a long term problem. There are many athletes/musisians/actors that have way worse charges but get a free pass because they generate so much money.

    I hope Conor didn't spend all his Mayweather money... he'll need it to cover all the lawsuits coming his way.

    Video of Conor throwing a dolly at the bus. Ciesa has multiple cuts and is in doubt for the card on Sat (he's back at the hotel cutting weight so he hopes to still fight). Artem has been yanked from his fight as he was part if the group with Conor. What a s##t show.
  6. For sure but red is also a paid subscription service so that'd be another reason just to use Kodi... easier and cheaper!
  7. Okada calling out The Rock, WWE style by pointing at the sign? ?
  8. Ibushi seemed a bit off his game last night but it was still a phenomenal match. The BC/BTE stuff saved the card for me.. felt like they could have used guys like Okada & Naito better since it was one of their rare US cards. Looking forward to the ROH card on the 7th.
  9. Lose & Hydro is a much worse position than they already are. That's not good for an already troubled crown corp or the government responsible for it. You also say proceed without delay... good luck with that. It could get blocked by the courts while the case is pending or you could end up with groups physically blocking the project from happening (or at least causing delays).
  10. The agreement that brought Manitoba into confederation was supposed to set aside 140 million acres of land (which included what's now Winnipeg) for the Metis people. That never happened hence the years of court fighting which the MMF ended up winning. That's led to years of trying to negotiate a settlement (good luck putting a dollar value on that land now!) that still hasn't been finished. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/after-140-years-and-a-review-of-2000-volumes-of-documents-metis-win-land-claim/article9505274/
  11. For which project? Pallister is tying it to the Minnesota transmission line specifically but the Hydro statement said the deal was for various projects (past & future). We're in the dark as to the number of projects and their location so it's impossible to say if it's a good or bad deal for either side.
  12. According to the MMF & Hydro, it was "long-term, 50-year agreement designed to address their asserted Indigenous rights and claims related to impacts from various transmission projects — both past and future". The MMF said there was a 3-way agreement signed in 2014 that set out the process for dealing with this kind of thing & that's how they came to that $67 million total (or $1.34 million per year).

    I should have read that tweet more carefully... The guy who tweeted that is a known troll & Jones hasn't even met with USADA yet. I was wondering why more people weren't talking about the suspension! lol That being said, that's in the ball park for what people are expecting USADA to hand out as punishment.
  14. Pallister confirmed they were removing him as chair of Hydro but also added that they offered him another board instead (he declined to say which board) so they couldn't be too unhappy with his performance. Pallister is saying it's over the MMF money & Riley says it's several issues... will be interesting to hear from the other board members if/when they decide to comment. Based on the fact they all walked, I'm guessing we know who's side they believe.
  15. You're right that none of us know the details but the board does & they thought it was a good enough deal to bring forward so that should say something. It'd be different if they were hold-overs from the NDP but these were all hand picked Pallister people. There's obviously more going on than just this though if everyone, save the government rep, walked out.
  16. That was my 1st thought.... his book deal should be more than enough to cover the loss of his pension.

    Bones get a 4 year ban from USADA.
  18. Must be coming up on more bonuses being due...
  19. Hadn't considered the next CBA, and it is usually the Canadian vets that benefit the most so that is a great point.
  20. He had no issues signing a 2 year deal in Sask so I'm guess it might be more about who can give him the most upfront money. Teams can promise him the moon (Sask & Montreal, I'm looking at you) but if they can't or have no intention of delivering on those promises, what's the point?
  21. the chair doesn't hit him, the bat does. http://www.prowrestlingsheet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Eddie-Bat.jpg
