Empire seems like a decent solution. Alliterative, can keep the double E logos, is already a familiar term. Beats the Edmonton GREENGOLDS anyways

Yes, the only instance I know of this being said came before folding. I seem to recall hearing Trestman was out of luck trying to collect his outstanding hundreds of thousands owed to him though. I don't know if anyone has actually been paid, only that they were told they would be.

I know the XFL stated players would be paid their 2020 salaries, despite only playing 5 games before the COVID shutdown. Average XFL salary was around 55k USD

Best npr

Pretty much the opinion of literally every native person I've ever had the gall to ask about the issue. What you call a person is nowhere near as important as how you treat them and the respect you show them.

DC had/has crazy talent. In the back of my mind I've often wondered if O'Shea and co. could slap some polish on that turd and make him a legit CFL receiver. Probably not worth even trying at this point...

LOL I saw someone suggest a wealthy indigenous group (are there any? I legit don't know) buy the Redskins and name them the Washington Black Lives Matter so that ignorant white people get a taste of their own medicine. I say it's worth a shot, hell I'd even buy a hat.

While I agree they are free to say what they want and call themselves what they want, they are not free of consequences. "Major sponsors" are prepared to pull their $ from the Esks. Sticking to your guns may result in a hole in your foot... For the record my understanding is the Inuit et al are not as offended by the team name and actually often embrace the Esks as 'their team'. They just want more engagement and positive representation.

Tyson Pencer lmao

I used to f'ing hate O'Shea the player. Glad he's on our side now.

I've always admired John Bowman. Stalwart, durable, always a factor

Too bad, I liked your post of past players with pictures and write ups.

Yes, thick Nik would probably have to top my list as well. His bruising frame, sure hands, deceptive agility... when he wasn't running trucking DBs and LBs he was hurdling them. His interviews were hilarious, his attitude was infectious... his twitter jokes crossed a few lines now and again but hey, nobodies perfect. Imagine he was a Bomber during Swaggerville.

I jumped about 15 pages so not sure if this was mentioned, but I heard some guy on the radio claiming his car was keyed by Kenora residents because he was visiting from Manitoba. I'd like to add 'Warriors-esque cottage country turf wars' to my 2020 Apocalypse Bingo card please.

Whoa

If we're having a Canadian comedy love-in here I'm hitching my wagon to Kids in the Hall. Funny to this day

Back in like 1999 or so my dad and I (both Mikes) took our picture next to the Canmore road sign. He still laughs about it like it's the funniest thing ever. Dad jokes jeez

Woman with lupus took hydroxychloroquine for 19 years, still got COVID-19

Seen on reddit, thought I'd share:

Limited numbers of fans could enter draws to be on-hand emergency backups for every game. Who wants to see an eleven year old kid with MS playing Right Guard? I can't be the only one

Show yourself out sir

Stavros Katsontonis? I'm watching his live stream right now on youtube https://youtu.be/OOOaYMSp1_M
