  1. IOCchas already declared that if Olympics get put off again this summer they will simply be cancelled. Japan would be out billions of dollars with nothing to show for it. Money. Winter Olympics were getting big enough to have their own stage, and so broadcast rights could get split up rather than shared for one calendar year of Olympics per network.
  2. Here is the cellphone video they are referencing. It is embedded in the overall story. For clarity’s sake, the shooting victim was the driver of the stolen vehicle that was involved in a police pursuit after a liquor store in Sage Creek was robbed. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/eishia-hudson-police-shooting-no-charges-1.5891819
  3. There is part of me that wonders why she wants to get into these Twitter spats, she will only galvanize each side more. Having said that, she is fierce and articulate and goes beyond the mere”I know you are but what am I” mud-slinging And although this one borders on the childish retort, the punchline is pretty awesome.
  4. Am I reading too much between the lines to suspect that he got banned from Facebook and Twitter, and had no where to go but back here once Amazon cut off Parler and it went offline?
  5. But as you said, it keeps Toronto from having other teams compete and drive up the price. So they had incentive to make the deal rather than wait. I just thought it would be worth more to get that advantage. 4 spots in the 6th round is essentially nothing IMO. So if Pinball has already worked out a deal, why make this trade now, with only 4 days to the negotiation window? Clearly there was incentive to get a crack at him early. Maybe Walters could have gone to another team to start a modest bidding war. If no other interest or sense of interest, Toronto doesn’t bother with this trade. But since they saw a need to swing a deal for that extra time to themselves, Walters had an opening to leverage something. 4 spots on the 6th round seems like a whole lot of nothing to me, especially for a starting Canadian o-lineman another team is anxious to negotiate with with no other competing interests, that’s all I am saying. Who knows, maybe this is unspoken “future considerations” to complete the Collaros deal from last year, lol.
  6. All valid points, but giving up a Canadian centre who started 13 games “last” season to move up 4 spots in the 6th round of the draft seems pretty chintzy, unless we upgrade the pick of they sign him.
  7. Pretty useless trade to my eye. That’s a swap of 6th round picks. Who was the last 6th round pick of note for any team, much less the Bombers? Maybe the pick gets upgraded if Toronto is able to sign him.
  8. Good thing Laine got traded or he’d be unhappy being replaced by Copp and pushed to the 3rd line. And memo to Jack Roslovic - Copp is showing how to be patient and take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself rather than holding out. And there may be better teams in the North and the TV networks would love Montreal-Toronto, but a Winnipeg-Edmonton playoff series would be some seriously amazing high event hockey to watch, based on the last few years of games between the 2 clubs. Last year’s 1-0 Jets shootout win was one of the best most entertaining games I have seen live for one that had zero goals for 65 minutes.
  9. Jets Twitter should post this pic and say this is his actual reaction.
  10. So the latest Bond film is having its release delayed yet again, now to Oct. 8.
  11. Wow, Maurice sucks. Fresh take from Goalie once again. What’s the deal, did he steal your girlfriend? Do you have a girlfriend? Or do you just sit at your keyboard finding the same old ways to ***** about a 4-1 team. I don’t care who they are playing or how they win, they are winning and in a short season these wins are more vital than ever.
  12. I don’t see Logan Stanley getting protected or taken. DeMelo just signed for 4 years, $12 million. He, Pionk and Morrissey will be protected. Roslovic may be traded if the deal too good to pass up comes along, otherwise I see him getting exposed (even without a contract, the Jets still hold his rights) and protecting Lowry and Copp. Dependant on Laine not getting traded with the media’s help or Lowry getting into a contentious contract dispute at season’s end as a UFA, if he isn’t traded because the Jets find themselves out of the playoffs and get a great deadline offer (all hypothetical, not saying they are missing the playoffs).
  13. Odds are that Seattle takes one of Copp, Lowry, or Roslovic.
  14. Truth......and they are pretty damn racist.
  15. The club gets a cut from each replica ring sold, and the money from the Grey Cup base goes back to your club and its players directly.
  16. If you took a poll to identify the dirtiest players in hockey today, who wants to bet that the name Tkachuk would appear twice in the top three?
  17. And on cue Brady cross checks Harkins in the back to start a scrum. Helle with a nice breakaway stop to preserve the shutout- for now.
  18. I am really pleased to hear how many players have re-structured their contracts to keep the gang together. Hard to imagine many folks who have suffered financially during the pandemic would step up and take a 50%+ pay cut like Adam Bighill did going from $250,000 to $115,000. But also credit the Bombers for paying him his full $100,000 in bonuses in 2020 when they didn’t even have any games. Honest give and take from both sides, no shenanigans. A salute from this fan for a lot of class and understanding from all sides.
  19. So my wife asked me “Are all the Tkachuk’s **** disturbers or what?” Brady itching to start a fight he’ll get a teammate to finish.
  20. And Wheeler makes it 4-0 on a sick passing play. The talent has shown up tonight. Would like to see Stastny get off the schnide next.
  21. Great grit from Lewis on the 3rd goal. Absorbs the hit, cross bar, and boards to create an open net for Lowry. Jets skating now and full court press on the young Sens. And Forbert looking composed and solid out there. Glad we didn’t ALL quit on him after 20 minutes of play.
  22. Biden has already indicated that he plans to be a one term President and try to heal the country and set it up for another to govern. He said his VP pick would be someone he could see stepping in after 4 years, so Harris-Warren/Buttigeg/Klobuchar all possibilities. Bernie would be even older than Joe (83 by the next election) so I think his time has passed. Wild card might be Stacey Abrams. But a lot can happen in 4 years. Could be someone off the radar right now.
  23. Yeah, spitting is for losers. We just throw snowballs and beer cans, run on the field to attack players, tear down TV broadcast tents.....
