I’m quibbling about the fact that it’s apples and oranges.  And that sports fans are crying about how art is not important ha - the same way the rest of the country says sports are pointless

Ah, Floyd. Just where would we be here without you??

Piss off ghost!

I'm all for Wade Miller being our new Commissioner. He knows what teams need from the league from a financial & marketing perspective as a Team president whereas Randy Ambrosie really hasn't figured it out yet, it would seem. That & I believe he would bring a less hostile perspective to player relations & CBA negotiations. Dump Ambrosie & bring in Miller as long as Bombers replace him with someone who can fill his shoes as Bomber President. He may also hopefully have some ideas as to how to grow the game here in Canada. Especially Toronto & Vancouver.

If you are considered to be a non-resident of Canada, you are generally taxed only on income from sources within Canada, such as your CFL salary

The issue is that Uncle Sam likes to double tax it's citizens. 

Good news emerged Friday in the quest for government funding for a CFL season, as the federal government’s Deputy Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Howard Njoo told Dan Ralph of the Canadian Press that Health Canada was reviewing the hub city protocols proposed by the CFL and had a positive outlook.

Deputy Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Howard Njoo calls CFL hub city plan ‘encouraging’
 

After coming to no decision on a season after meeting on Thursday, Ralph reports that the CFL board of governors will hold a rare videoconference on back-to-back days on Friday. The clock is ticking on the possibility of a CFL season, but it also appears the action is heating up.

That is a good one. 

You know, in my younger days I was a Somebody. People looked up in the sky & the sight of me flying around the city would put fear in the hearts of those who would do evil. Now that I'm old & retired, nobody cares anymore. I used to wake up every morning with a purpose. Now, I have no purpose. I can't fly anymore & it's become extremely hard to lift a building above my head because my shoulders ache. So, I sit around wondering what to do? What to do?

I know of Miller's reputation as a hard ass. Thing is, if he was that hard to work for I believe that Walters & O'Shea would have left years ago. Especially that 2014-16 era where the team was struggling.  Yet no one quit on Miller. 

I think Big Blue was referring to those who had been fired....lol.

I'm not a mind reader. I have no idea what he means.  He can put a laughing icon up after my comments but I don't care.  If he wants to talk in circles or like he knows some kind of inside joke then he can have at 'er.

I coach both flag and tackle football against Miller. He's kind of a **** there, too...

Get a dictionary and look up quit and look up fired...no secret hidden meaning. Sadly I know of too many people who were fired under his watch. Ya ya I know your response you bring in your own people. PS no inside joke...I just know victims....not laughing about it either.
