So disillusioned now... Snopes says its fake... Phht- that is something awesoem!

It's hellah funny, but fake- sorry man. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ted-cruz-texas-freezes-over/ This is good news. I think Porter will fit nicely in this role. Finally, someone to try and hold these people accountable:

because the world revolves around me. Get with the program. Fact is that the CFL ****** things up last year and Ambrosie has not been a good commissioner in his time. Guy has not earned the benefit of the doubt and the fact that it took this long to put out a fire is just another mark against him. I worry about the CFL under his "leadership"

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.

Listening to the sound from the surface of another planet.... that is monumental...

We need to starve the virus. The vaccine will go a long way to do that.

If the board of governors want to play last year they would have played its simple as that. Its the board that runs this league always has.

That's like saying the Pope is "a little religious".

evildo nothing new york hispanicblood sucking liebrul bit-h Announced on Twitter early Thursday evening by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), the grassroots fundraising campaign brought in more than $1 million in a matter of hours—all of which, according to the New York Democrat, will go to The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center, Ending Community Homeless Coalition (ECHO), Family Eldercare, Houston Food Bank, Feeding Texas, and other local groups assisting Texans during the ongoing emergency. "Wow. We officially raised $1 million for Texas relief at 9:17 pm," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday night. "Thank you all so much. I'm at a loss for words. Always in awe of movement work. 100% of this relief is going straight to Texan food assistance, homelessness relief, elder care, and more." song for ted Tonight my bag is packed Tomorrow I'll board that plane That will lead me across the border Tomorrow my loves and I Will sleep beneath auburn skies Somewhere across the border We'll leave behind my dear The pain and sadness and lack of heat and frozen people we found here And we'll drink from the cabo bar martinis Where the sky grows gray and wide We'll meet on the other side There, across the border spgringstein

Huh- just like the riders...

when puerto rico was destroyed by hurricane a few years ago, renewables were the only energy source that worked reliably. all else fa iled. there, the energy system is being converted to mainly renewable now. cause of that, and cause renewable is cheapest to build and run.

One thing that I believe differentiates the CFL from other major leagues is that they always sold this as our game. Several are community owned, which puts emotional attachment/ownership to them. And, those that are privately owned, we understand it's done so with personal risk and little chance for a financial gain. I feel no such connection to the Jets, although I recognize that some do. The players, yes, Chipman/Thomson, no. And, when the NHL left us, we had IHL/AHL and other leagues to watch. I love the CFL and it can't be replaced. Openness would go a long way. The Gov't said the same thing last year. Come back, with open books and a plan. Let's get this done. I think that there is enough public support to get all levels of gov't behind this. We know that the MB Gov't is ready to support the Bombers.

While I disagree entirely with the opinion Ambrosie is singlehandedly at fault for all that's gone wrong since the pandemic began, that his "leadership" is bad, or that he's some scarf-sporting bogeyman, he is the commissioner of the CFL. To that end, he's effectively the "face" of the league* from the standpoint of its business operations. The same way he wears its successes, he's the one who wears its failures, even if neither are his solely his to bear. I think the issue that rubs many fans the wrong way has less to do with the current commissioner and more to do with how the CFL operates as an organization. Despite being a professional sports league, finances are often shrouded in secrecy and we're left to speculate on player contracts, team's SMS figures, profits and losses, etc. This culture has been around decades when it comes to the league's overall operational landscape, so it's not unreasonable as a fan to be put off by this. More openness wouldn't be a bad thing, IMO. We're all fans of the CFL and want there to be a 2021 season. 2020 sucked enough as it is without a CFL season, especially because our team couldn't defend its title, as well as the whole Atlantic expansion being shelved. Another lost season would be disastrous, so I hope whatever is taking place behind the scenes is progressing well. * it's no different when fans **** on Bettman or Goodell.

My hope is that Wade Miller is secretly pulling the strings behind the scenes. He gets **** done... Period.

If they limit it to 25% capacity is that an attendance increase in Toronto?

Hate to fake news you guys but... 1) That's the older rover as you can see the tracks 2) The sound you hear was created using their best guess using a seismometer and sped up.

That is so freaking cool. Wow, wow, wow. What a feat of engineering.

well if there is any good news I can share is that, my mom went in for a COVID test yesterday and it came out negative, she just has a cold, a cold I want avoid catching at all cost because being sick is a drag no matter what I have

excuse me I need to go swear now

You know you've hit rock bottom when Louie ******* Gohmert is successfully dunking on you...

I think AOC is more popular in Tx than ted cruz- nobody likes ted cruz.

I dont think this was announced yet. But CFL.ca shows we signed this guy last Jan8

Yes, Northern Texas included.

Albertans?

Ironically, the only power generation that is allowed now are wind turbines and this has been the case for some 20 years- they work fine there.

Yes, Dan is a tool too. I forgot about him blaming California. As usual, the red states are a disaster and the blue states will have to bail them out. Loved that Cruz voted against support after Hurricane Sandy and yet has his hands out for himself. Typical conservative.

It's not only NY being blamed. Dan Crenshaw has been blaming California for it too. Saying that they brought in California like policies when it came to Renewables and that's why they didn't work when the weather hit. Even saying "Renewables don't work in extreme weather". Which is blatantly false and a quick internet search you can find all kinds of renewable energy sources working in much harsher conditions.

Only in the ****ing US of A can a Red State, like Texas, not on the national power grid, blame a Democrat from NY for their power issues. What a pathetic lot.

Huh... I stumbled across this and thought I would share. I feel that nit-picking the bad stuff to make a case, always leads to a flimsy case. Its like the bar he is holding Canada to is tantamount to utopia... of course we have our skeletons... and of course we still have a ways to go on a great many things, but Canada is a great country. So... **** him and his cherrypicking **** opinion.

1. If Charles Roberts had possessed the work ethic of Milt, he'd have set every rushing record and been the GOAT. 2. Guy was still an all time great and its amazing what he did given his lack of working out etc.

Trump intelligence chiefs hid evidence of Russian election interference Lost in the news on the day of Trump's Insurrection was a devastating new watchdog report to Congress on the politicizing and distorting of intelligence during Donald Trump's time in office. The analytic ombudsman, career intelligence community veteran Barry A. Zulauf, determined that under Trump national intelligence reports had become highly politicized. Important findings were suppressed to appease Trump's refusal to acknowledge Russian interference in American elections. Zulauf's unclassified report paints a frightening picture of just how much the Trump administration skewed intelligence to suppress knowledge of interference by Russia in our 2020 elections. From March 2020, in the critical months leading up to the elections, Zulauf "identified a long story arc of—at the very least—perceived politicization of intelligence." Zulauf works in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), a Cabinet-level position created after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to oversee all U.S. intelligence operations. Zulauf's job within the ODNI was created by Congress to assist analysts throughout the intelligence community with complaints and concerns about politicization, biased reporting or lack of objectivity in intelligence analysis. This is the first of a two-part series. Coming in Part 2: The intelligence community under Trump was not alone in diverting focus from Russian interference. Zulauf determined that Trump's ODNI took "willful actions that… had the effect of politicizing intelligence, hindering objective analysis or injecting bias into the intelligence process." While Zulauf tried to avoid specifically naming individuals responsible for much of the political heavy-handed rewriting, he repeatedly calls out actions taken by two recent Trump appointees, neither of whom had any chops as intelligence experts. One is former an acting director, Richard Grenell. He had been a Fox News commentator and Trump-appointed ambassador to Germany, and took over the ODNI in February 2020 then relinquished the post the following May. The second was the Texas congressman Trump appointed to replace Grenell, John Ratcliffe, best known as a fervent defender of the ex-president in his first impeachment.

Those times whe he would disappear behind guys like Sheridan or Bobo and then pop out and break ankles... if only that guy gave a damn he could have been the best ever.

Katie Porter is the kind of person who would be awesome in any government role, but this is a fine appointment.

I know of two people locally who had issues with their engines. A coworker’s Kia caught fire while he was driving home. Pulled over and within 30 minutes the car was a burnt shell.

For any members here who own/drive a Hyundai or Kia: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/marketplace-car-recall-investigation-1.5918348 Sounds like there's a class action lawsuit in the works.

Naylor's take: https://www.tsn.ca/dave-naylor-the-cfl-isn-t-going-to-play-without-fans-in-the-stands-1.1595551 Nearly a year after the COVID-19 pandemic ground the sports world to a halt, we’re still left to guess when the Canadian Football League will play its first game since the Winnipeg Blue Bombers walked off the field as Grey Cup champions back in November of 2019. Commissioner Randy Ambrosie said this week that the league is “committed” to playing the 2021 season without saying what that would look like, or assuring fans that a full 18-game schedule would start on time. All of which is highly frustrating for CFL fans who’ve watched other leagues – bigger and smaller – manage to play through the pandemic. And at this point – unlike last summer – there is no doubt that it can be done, the way having been shown both in the NFL and American college football. So what’s the difference? Why can’t the CFL just come out and commit to a full season starting in June? The answer is because that commitment doesn’t exist from all of the teams. If it did, the league would be screaming it from the mountain tops. The reason it doesn’t exist has to do with the core problem the pandemic has presented to the CFL from the beginning: its business model cannot function without fans in the stands. That hasn’t changed in a year for a league where as much as 60 per cent of all team revenue is tied in some way to home game activity. There is no alternative business plan for this league. Fans can wish for it all they want. It doesn’t exist. The only way the 2021 CFL season can start on time is if fans are allowed back in stadiums to a meaningful degree by the middle of June, or if governments guarantee that decision is on the way (although nothing is really guaranteed in a pandemic). Can that happen? A lot depends on the efficiency of the vaccine rollout over the next four months and the degree to which the virus is otherwise kept under control, especially when it comes to new variants. Governments in Canada have been extremely conservative when to comes to opening venues for thousands of people to gather. Consider that strip clubs were open last summer in Ontario but places where one could sit outside watching sports, socially distancing and wearing a mask, were not. Logic would tell anyone that sitting outdoors in a stadium is safer than attending movie theaters, restaurants, bars, gyms, or a whole lot of other businesses that were allowed to open at points over the past year. Expect the CFL to be part of lobbying efforts to get stadiums open this spring and summer. But ultimately, it’s a matter that lies beyond the league’s control. Which brings us back to why the league won’t commit to starting its full schedule on time. Are there teams that would play a season without fans? Certainly not a full one. So the question becomes: What’s the threshold upon which you can get all nine teams to agree? Is it 10 per cent of stadiums open, 25 per cent, 50 per cent? Would all nine teams agree to start the season with empty stands if there was a high probability that capacity could ramp up during the season? Those are the very questions the league is sorting through right now. The strong hunch from all directions is that the league will open training camps in mid-summer and be playing by Labour Day, by which time it’s anticipated that significant percentages of the stadiums will be opened. This scenario, besides allowing teams to avoid the risk of having to open the season without fans in the stands, would shorten the schedule by roughly half. That would drastically reduce teams’ loses for this season, which would suit the owners just fine. Missing the start of the season would surely be met with howls of outrage from fans and those in the media who will point at other leagues and incredulously ask “Why not us?” But the fact is that this league is never going to play without fans in the stands. Not last year, not this year, not ever.

north carolina gopmresolution passed. Therefore, be it resolved, the Executive Committee of Orange County, North Carolina Republican Party formally and irrevocably censures U.S. Senator Richard Burr for gross impropriety in a position of trust and honor for disloyalty to President Trump this **** is hard to fathom.

He is reunited with Frank Reich and he has one of the best olines in the league so he wont have to run for his life again.
