Well Sask can just use all those "spare" houses they have for hiding players. They will be fine.

I mean, it blows my mind that nobody in the CFL office thought “hey, if the global pandemic makes cash flow difficult, a good alternative would be lowering the Argos’ salary cap for 2020 by the amount they went over in 2019” Skating by with no penalty? That’s an absolute joke lol

What the hell is Ambrosie doing....letting the argos' off the hook....He's setting a bad precedent here...I understand that this franchise is on life support BUT knowing they cheated and allowing them to keep a first rounder they didn't deserve, and doubling down on an extra territorial pick is just plain bull$hit ...He could've let the fine go but for cripes sake have the balls to back up the rest of the punishment...All of the rest of the clubs are presently wondering what the hell is going on...BRUTAL

But Florida is basically a long-term care facility in itself </sarcasm>

I just want football even if it means only watching on TV.

Trump is a stable genius. He and his associates are voting illegally to prove to everyone how dangerous and easy voter fraud can be. Thanks Obama!

He should be out of the hospital soon - tripped and fell.

got mine:

That 38% of the American population still supports Trump after all the stupid, racist, fascist, criminal things he has said and done is beyond sad and says very bad things about America.

Public health officials report no new cases of COVID-19 today. The total number of lab-confirmed positive and probable positive cases in Manitoba remains at 300.

So out of this 38% of people who still support him, after all his documented and proven idiocy/crime, how much of that 38% are Make America White Again people? This actually might be useful tool to give us the percentage of the Racist Bigots living in the US plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Not ENOUGH people would pay it, is the issue. Diehards? Absolutely. But you wouldn't get enough to make it work.

re: First Nations cases..... not sure if Iso meant the Siksika First Nation east of Calgary, which did have a minor outbreak, but they had a COVID Management Team in the community from Day 1 with their own testing site and everything, and it was snuffed out relatively quickly....or is my understanding from the daily Dr Hinshaw pressers....

Keep the Grey Cup there.

I like the adopt a team model and the idea of BC Place hosting playoffs.

Interesting article from the Nat'l Guard POV: "One of the D.C. National Guardsmen said he was worried that a lot of the goodwill that the Guard has built up with local Washingtonians because of their coronavirus response and annual Fourth of July celebrations was in jeopardy. “Within the span of 30 to 40 minutes, all of that washed away because of political stuff,” he said. Osterholm said the Guardsmen were ill-prepared for the hate directed at them by the protesters, which was reminiscent of the anti-military sentiment during the Vietnam War. The shift from being viewed as heroes during the coronavirus pandemic to villains suppressing citizens’ right to protest happened overnight, she said."

His headquarters is where his hindquarters ought to be....

What a douchenozzle.

I hate the implication of this.

"One of the models that is being considered quite favourably is not the hub city model but the ‘adopt-a-team’ model." Play the season out of Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton and Calgary and then move the playoffs indoors to BC so you can extend the season. #CFL

Thanks Debbie.

man, that sucks he made you wait a full year after Election Day before cutting a cheque. Dude could pay his people faster, is all I'm saying.

And apparently Mitch McConnell, who has had a safe GOP seat for 35 years, is behind the probable Democrat candidate in his riding polls. We can only hope.

It’s a start at least...

Starting in January permanently??? Going to August??? What a dumb idea.

The GOP has become a lot more brazen and systematic in their voter suppression and voter intimidation. They are encouraged by the White house and the corrupted DOJ in their efforts. This is going to get really, really ugly, folks.

the electoral college makes this more complicated than it looks. There's more dems but they are clustered in cities. Clinton had a four-point popular vote win and still lost in the electoral college because she ran up the score in places like California and New York and lost the midwest by a few tens of thousands of votes. Basically, land gets to vote for president, and land generally votes GOP. I feel okay about Biden's chances, but damn Trump pulled a rabbit out of his hat the first time and the vote suppression machine is revved up and with corona chaos and a massive surge in absentee ballots and a democratic nominee who doesn't inspire a lot of passion and the massive surprise of 2016 still hanging in the air ... everything is uncertain.

I hope you get to post this 300 times.

The Fox is in the chicken’s house.. Trump told his man to say what he wanted to hear, and the asp kisser obliged. No shame.

Republicans will do everything in their power to suppress people voting for Democrats, what happen yesterday in a Georgia primary is a precursor, Trump is done, Dems will retain the house and possibly take the Senate and then all of Trump's cronies will be looking for legal representation.

Trump Campaign Demands CNN Retract, Apologize for Poll Showing Joe Biden Leading President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign demanded that CNN retract and apologize for a poll that showed Democratic candidate Joe Biden leading by 14 points. The campaign sent a cease and desist letter to CNN President Jeff Zucker Wednesday. The network immediately rejected the president’s demand. “We stand by our poll,” CNN spokesman Matt Dornic said. In addition to showing Biden with a lead of 55 percent to 41 percent over Trump, the poll found the president’s approval rating to be 38 percent, the lowest it has been since January 2019, and his disapproval rating to be 57 percent. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-campaign-demands-cnn-retract-apologize-for-poll?ref=home

Beat me to it.... This is exactly what I was going to post. Seems like a pretty easy alternative. Doing nothing is ridiculous.

16 people in hospital - 4 of those in ICU... out of 5 million BC will be (already is) a good indicator of how covid cases do not translate to hospitalizations in the general public... just watch over the next month as it reopens

No problem cancelling the fine... but aren't you supposed to lose a draft pick if you go over the cap? I mean AT LEAST penalize them the extra territorial pick they got

Don’t bring any kind of aids into this..

I see this as extraordinary times in an extraordinary environment. Is it really such a stretch to see forgiveness in this climate where teams are already pushed to the limits and nobody knows how long the CFL can survive? Lets try and get the League back on strong footing and take it from there.

Her voice is a great sleep aid.

I'm pretty sure this was actually what was happening. The media or the AARP covered it all up.

So, as the Red States get lit up by the virus......will the GOP Senate continue take the "every State for themselves" and "no bailout" stance?

If they are planning to have any fans in attendance (socially distanced of course), I think the CFL is going to have to figure out some type of innovative, incentive based ticket sales structure. Maybe offering package tickets to fans where you could attend games for your own home team plus random games between the adopted team and another team. Then do revenue sharing. I might go see a Hamilton - Saskatchewan game if I got some type of discounted ticket with the purchase of a Bomber ticket.

There are no cases of community spread covid in the Yukon first nations communities or anywhere in the territories. BC has no current cases in northern FN https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/covid-19-outbreaks-in-23-first-nations-prompt-worries-1.4920181 Looks like 130 covid cases in First Nations communities a month ago... seems like most have recovered - many related to the meat packing plant in AB

Soros stiffed me. But at least Xi Jinping came through.....

Coronavirus infections in younger people are skyrocketing —While those under 40 still have a lower mortality rate, they're suddenly contracting coronavirus in greater numbers In the initial days of the pandemic, some skeptics wrote off the coronavirus as something that mostly affected seniors. The higher death rates for the elderly, coupled with numerous stories of tragic outbreaks in nursing homes both here and abroad, contributed to that public perception. Yet a new series of reports reveals that, contrary to conventional wisdom, the young should not assume that they are safe from coronavirus infection. Indeed, in the past two months, the rate at which people under 40 are testing positive for coronavirus has shot up in many locales. While younger people remain at much lower risk for dying of coronavirus, they can still transmit the virus to others of any age group. https://www.salon.com/2020/06/09/coronavirus-infections-in-younger-people-are-skyrocketing--heres-why/

Justice Department Deputized Border Patrol as U.S. Marshals for Protest Response WHEN THE BORDER CROSSES YOU The Department of Homeland Security insisted that all its officials on D.C. streets for the protest response were at all times identified. -Reuters When the Justice Department brought a small army of often-unidentified federal police officers to the streets of Washington, D.C. amidst protests against racist policing, it made at least some of them into temporary U.S. marshals. https://www.thedailybeast.com/justice-department-deputized-border-patrol-as-us-marshals-for-protest-response?ref=home
