I wonder how many poems he has about Lyle Bauer? -

I really hope Jones is gone for good... -
Is that really how he thought of the AHL from the start. I think it's a case of him trying to say the right things as he is tanking hard in the AHL this season and his value has dropped considerably.

Last season I didn't feel like our team was ever dominant. Even when we were struggling in the previous seasons we still had guys who could create turnovers and where the team could put away others with grinding them down on O. Last year we didn't have big play makers showing up game in and game out (Brady being the exception).

I thought the issue was that he was addicted to video games, didn't want to play under the Maurice system (i.e. couldn't be a cherry picker), and wanted top dollars.

I wonder what his excuse will be once he cools off with Montreal and starts facing the heat from the fans...

I just beat Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, I think the story in this game might even surpass Raiders of the Lost Ark for the best Indiana Jones of all time. It's that good. It absolutely blows away the last two garbage movies by a long mile. A must play for anyone who likes games and Indy.

Best lead off hitter of all time, nobody is touching that stolen base record.

Has the league ever banned a player for being dangerous?

https://www.ign.com/articles/charlotte-hornets-nba-team-gives-kid-a-ps5-for-halftime-skit-then-takes-it-back-off-camera How tacky is it for a 3 billion dollar club for pretending to give a kid a PS5 and then taking it back. Why would anyone in the organization think that would be a good idea?

I'm not sure if this is still the case, but 15 - 20 years ago the club used to pay for housing i.e. players stayed at hotels for free with teammates as roommates and the team would cater food during practices/gameday any day they were at work. They also had deals in place with some local companies that would supply vehicles, discounts at restaurants, other perks. Back then their was no issues with players making sufficient money to live. Quite a stark contrast to Goldeyes players who were making peanuts and usually living at strangers houses during the season. Almost like super fans would adopt players and allow them to stay at their houses rent free. Our admin was doing this as recent as 5 years or so ago. -
The last time I went (Summer of 2023) the service was extremely slow , the food wasn't good, and the portions were shrunk massively. My two sides were served each in bowls that were nearly as small as the little paper cardboard ketchup bowls that you get at McDonalds. Post COVID each time we had gone we had terrible service waiting 45 minutes+ despite the restaurant only having a few patrons. I will say the catering experiences were really good with them and each time we have used them for parties it has been a big hit. I think that was Smoking Hawg at Harbour View? That was the first and only BBQ restaurant that I've gone to not have french fries or chicken tenders. We went once and the food was bland and they only had one bbq sauce that you could use. The meat was cooked perfectly though. It closed quickly because harbour view is basically a ghost town and parking in winter is a nightmare (5+ minute walk). Loveys was great when the main owner was in, when he wasn't in the quality seemed to drop off sharply. They had a bunch of kids in the kitchen and if memory serves me correct lots of complaints about the owner constantly rotating staff and mistreating them. Either way Loveys was always busy when we used to go and seemed to be successful since everyone I knew would go and liked it.

Has anyone gone to Belle's Kitchen and Music Hall yet? I had a coworker who went and said the portions were tiny and the food was super bland. It would be nice to have real BBQ without having to drive to Steinbach.

WWE has global appeal.... CFL has an extremely small niche audience that would only appeal to a small country. Apples and oranges comparison. Pickleball probably is more desireable for a streaming service then the CFL. -

Is he rotting in a jail cell with other inmates who do not take kindly to child predators? The answer is no... so he is off scott free. It is only my opinion, what he did is more close to the severity of murdering as compared to someone selling drugs or tax evasion. -

Once again the Canadian justice system lets everyone down. At least give the guy a full year of jail so he can at least get the beats from fellow inmates more then a few times... -

Masoli has played 17 games in the last 3 seasons compared to Zach playing nearly 60 games. Masoli is glass at this point. I'll take MBT who can at least take a sack and get up and continue playing.
