JCon

I have finally rid my Twitter timeline of all the "national" hockey journalists, with the exception of Elliot Friedman. My fault for keeping them so long but my feed will be so much better. Started with Mirtle a month or so ago. But, he's really just a Leaf booster and doesn't pretend to be a national reporter.

Oh, goodness, no. They get coverage when they play the almighty Leafs. Mostly questions about how great they think the Leafs are.

I am so thankful this game on the Isle is finally here, so I can stop seeing all the "national" Leafs media fawning over Tavares and scolding the Isle fans for their disappointment in him. Seriously, it's disgusting.

Well, he's pretty good. He did skip one of the best teams in the world!

McEwen... Why could he never put it together at the Brier??

From a political observer point-of-view, the fallout and reaction is fascinating. If JT drags this out, what will happen to the party? We're already seeing a split among cabinet members, although no one going after one-another yet. Oh, to be a fly on the wall...

Poor Riley.

THE Mark "Not A Racist, Just play one on TV" Meadows "2012 is the time we are going to send Mr. Obama home to Kenya or wherever it is."

I'm no Manziel fan, although I liked watching him play at T A&M, but he seemed to keep his nose clean since he arrived in the CFL a year ago. I'm surprised he missed these meetings and, I guess, the CFL does have a reason to permanently suspend him. I wonder if Montreal wanted him gone and got the league to do the dirty work? That seems like a bit of a stretch.

It was amazing how unprepared they seemed. No one was capable of a cross-examination. They were truly unarmed. Even AOC used Cohen's testimony to set up a call for the Trump family tax returns. The GOP did nothing. A clear example of how poor they are at their jobs.

And, possibly, 2009 levels if we have some increased precipitation up river.

Hayes skating with Connor and Ehlers is exact 2nd line that I expected (hope for?).

Okay Wetenhall. It's your money.

Joe Mack.

I get why they traded for him. Potential upside, butts in seats, and rock star coverage.

I've read that too. I believe the media and masses assumed everything would flow through Muelller, which has driven the concern about the changing AG. However, and we should have seen it, Mueller is using his investigation to set everything else into motion. All prosecutions on the inner circle will stem from but not be limited to the Mueller investigation. What's probably most incredible is the people that have been indicted and convicted (plead guilty) seemed to be at our near the top of the food chain but are simply the next level players who will hand Trump (et al) to the prosecutors. Trump will spend the rest of his life in courtrooms and his fam will grow old there too.

Always knew that Trump didn't expect to win and was only in it for the grift but the to double down on that grift when he did win is incredible. The conman just couldn't help himself.

Ah, yes, I see what you're saying. I think that may be new.

I think the comments about Jr being an idiot from his Dad are new but Jr has been telling his circle that he's expecting to be indicted soon for months. His connection to the Trump Tower meeting was established a while ago (in the media). The SDNY having an open investigation is not new. When the leak about "Cohen's testimony" came out a month or so ago, it was speculated that is came from that office and not Mueller's. Mueller's team has been airtight. Maybe the confirmation is new?

I'm not sure we learned anything new with Cohen yesterday, simply confirmation of everything has come out. In a crazy way, it's just confirmation that Trump is a racist conman. Everyone sees it except the idiots that continue to support him. The JWR situation is completely explosive. Not very often that we get a full picture of what happens behind the scenes. And, no, as someone who has seen behind the curtain., this is nothing new or shocking to me. It's shocking how it's played out and JT is probably out.

No drama sort of guy. Have to respect that.

Travis Lulay: Reflections as I retire from the CFL Lulay has retired rather than being subjected to Regina or Montreal.

He just got a HUGE settlement. He's not playing football any longer.

Steinauer will be familiar with Boateng.

We're still 12 points on the first non-wild card team with 19 games to go. I'm worried about seeding but not about not making the playoffs at all.
