Around the League: 2019 Off Season
My point being that when people are in the grip of an addiction, they are often devious, dishonest and manipulative. Those who dry out and overhaul their lives as per the 12 steps are the ones who flourish, but those who simply abstinent (often by being compelled) are the ones who struggle and often fall down again because they have not done the work on themselves.

It was widely known that Peterson had been battling the bottle for many years but had dried out several years ago. However, if you sober up a horse thief, you still have a horse thief.

No matter what happens in Pile O' Bones, the fans there will refuse to see it as any kind of setback. Apart from the Bombers, there is a lot of turmoil this year in the CFL west.

US Politics
In recent US politics news, the FBI has documented that they warned the Trump campaign in mid-2016 that Russia was trying to influence the election through the Republican party in general and the Trump election committee. They advised the committee that they were obligated to report any further contact with the Russians to the FBI, but the FBI has hard evidence that there were subsequent contacts that went unreported. Further, the FBI has stated that Manafort had contact with someone in the White House during the time he was "cooperating" with Mueller. Manafort is looking at some serious jail time- up to 20 years. However, Trump's proposed AG, Barr, has made ambiguous statements as whether he would allow vigorous investigation and prosecution of a sitting president.

Sheritt has lasted a surprisingly long time, considering his size and the heavy traffic he had to play in.

Bomber News: 2019 Off Season
From a sports perspective, days don't get much better than yesterday. Bighill signs a 3 year deal, Chris Jones jilts the Riders after signing an extension (love the irony) and the Jets soundly beat the Vegas Knights who ended the Jets' season last year. Come on, 2019!!!

I heard that Germany wanted a team in Warsaw so that they could go over there. They also wanted a team in Paris so that they could practice their end runs.

You may be overestimating the condemnation of Trump by right-wingers and his base in particular. Whatever proof is presented, they will likely shrug it off as manufactured by the FBI and the "Deep State". When left-wingers are betrayed by their political leaders, they will withdraw support or at the least, remain neutral. For right-wingers, any criticism, even when supported by vivid proof will be assumed to be an attack on themselves personally, and their support of their chosen leaders will become even more intense, even to the point of violence.

CFL signs new ESPN Deal
Is any money actually going to change hands?

Re: the Mexico stuff. The ESPN contract(s) would be a lot more lucrative if the audience in Mexico started watching the CFL in large numbers, and the advertising revenue would also jump. There might even be some good players unearthed. At the very least, the initiative got a fair bit media attention. Its all good.

Exactly how did Trudeau and the Liberals force down the international price of petroleum? It would be amazing if a country which produces less than 6% of world petroleum could do that.

A good signing but he should still be pushed, preferably by a homegrown kicker. Medlock is not immune to aging and one of these years his wheels will fall off.

Ummmm....the city did not tear the statue down- it was taken off its pedestal and put into storage. Cornwallis was rightfully disgraced- he put a bounty out on the local Miqmaqs and paid for every scalp- men, women or children.

Agreed. I cannot think of another team that would put up with such deliberate flouting of rules and still keep the GM on. This speaks to the desperation of the Rider board of directors and executive to win at all costs, even if it means signing felons.

3downnation describes this as speculation that Barker will be serving as a consultant. Tillman must have some solid assurances that the Halifax franchise will be going ahead.
