@CFL_PR: The #CFL will make an important announcement at a media conference this morning at 11 a.m. ET in Toronto.

@simmonssteve: You can scratch Tom Anselmi's name from list of CFL commissioner candidates. Someone's getting hired today but it's not him.

Tacklewasher told me that the new commish was born in Kenya.  Has anyone checked his birth certificate? 

 

Congrats on the new job.  It is especially gratifying that we got someone this good, given how few people wanted this thankless job.  Good luck Mr. New Commish!

 

 

I always thought that Bill Maher was a Liberal. Guess I was wrong. And Sean Penn is looking old & tired just like the rest of us.

Maher is what passes for a liberal in the US, but he is still obnoxious. It is is possible to make your point without coming across as an arrogant twit.

His stance on political correctness is Big C Conservatism.

 

 

No offence, but this makes no sense whatsoever.  The phrase "big C Conservative" or "big L Liberal" is referring to someone belonging to a specific political party.  Small c conservative is someone who holds a conservative ideology, completely different than belonging to the party.  Maher is a classical liberal, which is usually called libertarian now.

I agree that Maher is a Libertarian, but quite different from a liberal, at least in the Excited States. Down there, Libertarians are not far off the Tea Partiers in that they believe that any government presence or regulation at all is unwarranted. As an example- they both believe that governments ought not to mandate that restaurant employees wash their hands while on duty. So, if you get food poisoning, your recourse would be to sue the restaurant owner (if you survive the poisoning). Both subscribe to the Miltom Friedman University of Chicago economics model where the only role of government is to defend the state and enforce contracts. Extremists tend to merge in beliefs even if they start out saying they are quite different.

Ummm, libertarian<>liberal

Time to lock it down      

So... let's get back on topic here. Canada expanded our role by authorizing bombings of ISIS targets into Syria today.

You lock it down!!

So did we settle that the new commish is small or large c or l? The off season can do strange things to football discussions around here.

I dunno, he looks pretty tall to me.  So I think the big question is....did he ever play basketball?
