2019-20 CFL Offseason
Dustin Neilson did a good job last season , I assume he will only get better once he has more chemistry with whoever he ends up with. Suitor is decent when he's calling games that don't involve the Riders.

So you don't believe in the philosophy of hiring the best candidate available?

I watched the live stream, clearly most people did not follow the social distancing. I'm curious to see if the numbers go up. I assume everyone who went needs to quarantine for 14 days?

Yelling at the TV does not count as PBP

You don't think professional PBP guys can't call multiple sports? Tonnes of them already do it in the States? Hell Rod Black does it ! I'm going to say you and Noeller are dead wrong and take a hard stance on it. If Rod Black (who isn't great even ignoring the weird tangents he goes off on) can do it, then surely other professionals can do the same or better. I'm not saying hire a guy off the street, but I'm sure somebody would like a promotion to TSN if they are hiring.

You know this from experience? I have never done radio PBP but I'm pretty sure that if I were calling the Grey Cup I would be able to figure out how to say Harris takes the hand off for 6 yards instead of "Keith Urban you're my idol *slobber* *slobber*". Tonnnnnnnnnnes of PBP guys do multiple sports it's not that hard. Football I'd imagine being easier since it's far slower then Hockey/Basketball.

Pederson is so unlikable regardless of his Green goggles. No way in heck they'd hire him. I can't imagine it being that hard to find a PBP guy... even our local radio guys (Moore/Edmonds) could do the job.

And unlike WCW .... I'd assume AEW is it's own separate entity so no suits are going to interfere with it even if business isn't very profitable. As for NFL owners.... I assume once more of the dinosaur old white guy owners die off and the club gets passed down to family or to businesses.... maybe then the owners will be more supportive?- Random News Items
Local news.... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-metis-federation-winnipeg-homeless-camp-1.5597646 I drove by yesterday for the first time in a few months and holy cow this camp is out of control now. I'm amazed that the city hasn't done anything yet as it looks like a huge fire hazard.- Did You Know..
He has skills in throwing a football .... I'd expect much more intelligence coming from a doctor. I would say President also but...... 🙄 A rich man doesn't mean you excel in public speaking.- Wrestling
It took me over a minute to realize that it was a spelling mistake for protests lol.... I was trying to understand why he made a strong statement on condoms lol. Is he the only non white NFL owner? I'd assume most are super old white guys?- Did You Know..
As I said before.... why do people listen to professional athletes expecting them to be some source of great wisdom. Drew Brees knows how to throw a football.... people should only listen to him on his opinions on how to run an offense and how to throw the pigskin.....- US Politics
Maybe they are using his WWE profile stats lol- Restaurant/food thread
An ice cream places needs a really small foot print... wouldn't be profitable unless rent was pretty much free.- Restaurant/food thread
The only problem is that whatever I end up buying... I will have to buy something else at an equivalent value for the wife to justify/keep the peace... that's why the weber is a more ideal price point lol.- Black Lives Matter

Never thought that this would ever happen, Bush isn't as bad as people made him out to be. Remember the days when the media would simply mock Bush for being a bit "simple" .... I'm sure the States would prefer having that problem again over the current regime.- Canadian Politics
You really just don't understand it's sad. Also who said I'm white? Also the Folklorama example is a great example showing how awesome at least Winnipeg is where we bring multiple cultures together and celebrate them all. Why would you ever **** on that?- Canadian Politics
I don't agree. That's like me saying poverty is poverty.... and then compare the poverty in Canada where someone has to live in a smaller house and can only afford a 40" tv.... then comparing it to poverty in Africa where people can't even eat or live under a roof. As for racism....... are you suggesting that a place like Winnipeg isn't accepting of other cultures and it is the same as deep south United States? I recommend going to Folkorama (next year) and you'll see a wide variety of people and I have not personally seen anyone protest or attend a show in a KKK outfit. Canada is often looked upon as one of the best examples in the world for being accepting of other cultures.- Covid-19
They would have to pay folks to go see an Argos / Als game.....- Canadian Politics
Where are the police.... seems like a lot of easy tickets to give out. - Wrestling
