  2. Why would Toronto or any team care? The penalties for violating the salary cap are weak, and the potential profit for a (normal) championship team would more than offset the cost. If the league wants to have a cap with teeth, then basically refuse to allow contracts to be registered once a team exceeds the cap and then the team can’t have the player, simple as that.
  3. Therapist: So any reason why you aren’t sleeping at night? Troubling thoughts, perhaps? Me: Nothing comes to mind.
  4. It was memorable plays by Manitobans, not Moments for the Province. Here is the link: https://www.tsn.ca/video/top-10-plays-by-manitobans~2147026
  5. It would seem from the various sources commenting that the league really sees playing without fans as an absolute last resort. Some talk of a later start in August, and every financial model that we have seen In the CFL past has shown that ticket sales and game day profits generate up to 65% of league revenues. So not surprising that fan attendance is not addressed. The CFL would probably prefer to exhaust all other possibilities (including a later start or a shorter schedule with fans in the stands - which is dependent on what the Provinces will allow and not what the league would prefer), and given the angst (some have said entitlement) of fans on message boards, why put out a plan that may not come to pass? Because you just set yourself up for criticism if the season is delayed and some know-it-all’s then whine about being promised football and why don’t they just go with the no-fans plan, and why are they lying to us again? Again, planning is crucial, plans are useless because plans change. But that’s just my opinion, I don’t have this burning need to hold the league’s feet to the fire and a need to know RIGHT NOW when there are more important life issues during this pandemic.
  6. Wearing his seatbelt. No skid marks, no sign of braking. Hit the centre median first, then crossed into oncoming lanes, hit the curb, then a tree, then several rollovers. Described as a high speed crash. No impairment detected, was conscious on the scene. Odd that there was no sign of corrective driving (braking or skid marks) before the accident. Wonder if we will hear about him nodding off at the wheel or distracted driving?
  7. Various reports are saying “moderate to critical injuries” which makes little sense from a medical standpoint. It’s kind of either/or. Another report says he suffered “multiple leg injuries “ and is in surgery, so it is definitely significant.
  8. Shots were a little misleading as the Jets best chances did not end up registering a shot. Thought Scheifele and Wheeler were trying a little too hard to set up Dubois a few times. Need to simplify, not look for the 5 way passing plays. Case in point - Appleton in the slot and tries to make a 2 foot pass to Lowry who is double covered. Shoot the puck.
  9. Not a good period for the Jets by any stretch but boy did the bounces not go their way.
  10. Looks like Ambrosie was working with the other major leagues to get the Government onside to create new revenue streams for the CFL. Wonder if his critics will give him credit for that, or will they just blame him again for not detailing every aspect of his plan with them first rather than planning quietly behind the scenes? https://3downnation.com/2020/06/12/cfl-commish-signs-joint-statement-with-nhl-nba-mlb-and-mls-counterparts-to-legalize-single-game-betting/
  11. Boy, the fun you could have if you wanted to mess with him. Watch him go all Howard Hughes. Yes, I know that is not nice to prey on someone’s anxieties. And no, I don’t care, because it’s Trump
  12. Yeah, the sheer number of different ways his lie was exposed is comical.
  13. So he felt the need to chaperone them on a plane flight because they are incapable of flying by themselves, but then he was prepared to leave them unsupervised in Mexico for a week? I hear that place doesn’t have the best people, drug dealers, rapists, and some who I am sure are nice people.
  14. And not knowing this last week caused you personally to suffer because?
  15. IR means you must be out for at least a week, but it can be retroactive to the original injury date, so yes this is exactly a cap move.
  16. Charlie rarely hit top end speed. His conditioning was less than stellar so he often got caught from behind. I shudder to think what kind of numbers he would have put up if he had Stegall’s discipline for fitness.
  17. I have always believed that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. So......... Nope, can’t do it.
  18. That second comment answers the first question.
  19. Somewhat frustrating that he gets a tap on the hands and draws a slashing call, then high sticks Pionk in the face and zero call.
  20. Don’t care how they did it, will just take the W in regulation.
