Might be enough for them to build the wall afterall!

Corker votes with Trump 84% of the time. Just like Flake. says one thing and does another.

They're on the same side!

Holy jeez... A quote from the article you posted: Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who is retiring in early January, started laughing when he was told of Trump's decision. "Well, why not?" he quipped, asked why he was laughing, adding that he was "not really" surprised by Trump's decision. "On this? I don't know. Y'all have fun. I'm getting ready to fly to Chattanooga. ...[Leadership] has no guidance right now," Corker said, asked what happened next. "I think they're just sort of swirling around over there at the White House." Asked if he thought the continuing resolution (CR) could still be signed, Corker added that it's impossible to predict what Trump will do. "I don't know. ... Who knows. Does the person sitting behind him at the White House know? Who would know? Who would know," Corker said. "I love it, you can't make this stuff up." What a gong show!

CFL returning to Atlantic Canada for regular season game https://www.tsn.ca/cfl-returning-to-atlantic-canada-for-regular-season-game-1.1229374 The CFL released the 2019 schedule on Thursday, highlighted by the Montreal Alouettes and Toronto Argonauts facing off in Atlantic Canada in a Week 11 matchup on Sunday, Aug. 25.

This time we play them three times in 5 weeks.

Week 21 bye. That's a lot of time off before we host the West Final. Back-to-back against Calgary. Recently, we seem to get them late in the season.

Saskatchewan for Labour Day again?!

It was a huge event. It was also particularly poignant performance because Freddie was born in Africa and grew up there and in India. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Aid) Live Aid was a dual-venue benefit concert held on Saturday 13 July 1985, and an ongoing music-based fundraising initiative. The original event was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. Billed as the "global jukebox", the event was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (attended by about 100,000 people). On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other countries, such as the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, Yugoslavia, Austria, Australia and West Germany. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 40% of the world population.

If you're a rookie, who thinks they belong in the NFL (and who doesn't?), then the AAFL is a good option. But, if you're established, a few years in, then the CFL is the way to go for $.

Ah! I misunderstood. Well, that changes everything.

But we're talking about the CBA, so this is future years. If I'm the CFLPA, why not push a January release date?

No, they pay $250k USD. Only our QBs are making more is my understanding.

I agree with you. But, if you're a star, why wouldn't you want to go to the AAFL? Make more USD and play closer to home? Also, more eyes on you for your chance of getting to the NFL? I'll be curious to see if the CFLPA pushes for an earlier FA to free up players to take contracts down south.

I couldn't remember, so I looked up the current CFL-TSN agreement. It was extended in 2015 to 2021. https://www.tsn.ca/cfl-tsn-and-rds-extend-broadcast-agreement-through-2021-1.294294 So, there won't be much new media money for a few years. The only way to increase revenue is through expansion, the gate and sponsorships.

I'm opening an topic to discuss the expiration of the current CFL/CFLPA CBA, the ongoing negotiations and, hopefully, the quick announcement of a new CBA. Here's a link to the components of the existing CBA: CFL/CFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement, which expires the day before the 2019 training camp starts.. What does the CFL like about the current agreement? What don't they like? What does the CFLPA like about the current agreement? What don't they like? What would you like or dislike about the current agreement? Presumably the new agreement will include language around the expansion team in Halifax and potential games in Mexico and Mexican players. Also, I expect to see an increase to the cap but how much?

Yeah but there are more Dems that have missed out on the tax cuts so, still owning Libs! MAGA rubes are happy to lose jobs, healthcare and whatever else as long as Libs don't get anything either. It's the Republican way for the past 40 years. They're certain their trickle-down cheque is coming any day now. Any day...

Rich coming from the guy who says that Nichols never wins games but blames him for every loss. Adams runs, he gets that ball. Instead, he dogs it and misses his route. Now it's Nichols fault when players don't run the routes that they practice?

True, those a features.

I'm not sure if this is accurate (that he's being considered) but I have seen it reported in several places. Could be one person said it and reporters are just spreading that info. Anyhow... I can't even fathom what a cluster... that would be. Let's forget that Jared is grossly unqualified, his conflict of interest is unquestioned. The man couldn't even get security clearance to sit in on briefings. The guy has all the business acumen of his father-in-law. Buying up big pieces of real estate then going bankrupt. Only, he didn't bankrupt his dad's company, he just spent $1.8 Billion on a building right before the market crashed. Since then, they've basically been giving the building away just to keep up with the mortgage payments. His FIL must be proud.

The last three movies.

So is saying that we would have had a better record with a rookie and that Nichols held us back but here we are...

I'm sure that's some sort of safe word for his Russian handlers to pull him out. But, his handlers can get to him, so he's stuck there.

God forbid you're a slave elf! Can't even become a dentist because it's your job to paint the darn toys! Commies!
