  1. I like this solution. The refs in the CFL are terrible and get PI incorrect so frequently, I would hate to see the challenge for it go away. But illegal contact rarely has an effect on the outcome of the play, IMO.

    Wrestling

    As I've said before on here, Showtime was one of my local favs. I saw him all over town. Rendez-vous, Convention Centre (on a tapped show with Sandman), in St. Vital, etc. Buddies and I used to give him a hard time with his mullet. We chanted Mul-Let. It was great and he played it so well. I knew a few people like Alex Rain (Stacy) from way back but no one that made it really big. The late 90's, early 00s was a great time for local wrestling because the promoters were getting great outsiders and promoting the locals. It was fun and accessible. And, I was young, so could go to whatever shows I wanted. I'm sure the promotions are still doing the same now but I just don't follow it any longer.
  3. I remember my boss, in a former life, who was also a medical doctor, refused to take ibuprofen, so that should have been a sign. Only time I take pain meds is for headaches and I take what's around. Switched to Tylenol a few years ago but never experienced issues with ibuprofen. I'm lucky to have avoided chronic pain in my life so far. Of course, I've never had to take any bumps either.
  4. Haven't read this yet but looking at the headline, I should probably be happy that my "fertility" days are behind me.
  5. I actually though that was one of the best responses to "winning" a silver medal I've ever seen. Maybe a bit emotional but still great.
  6. The visionary that said last year he wouldn't commit 10% of is salary cap to one player, just committed 10% of his salary cap to one player who hasn't won a game in a few years. He's a special kind of visionary.
  7. I saw that too. Doubly funny/ironic because of Trump's obsession with Amazon and Bezos.
  8. I think the NFL franchises are overvalued, so I would say, "yes". I guess we'll see what Carolina goes for but there are not a lot of "new" markets that you can pit your local governments against for leverage. And, he'll probably be fired in three years, so he'll start collecting a second paycheque after that. EDIT: Sounds like (from Hacksaw on TSN 1290) that $100M is not all cash and may include partial ownership.
  9. I saw it too. Buddies and I did a road trip to Vegas and LA in 1998. The one thing they wanted, was to go to the Hilton to see this.
  10. Do we know what the injury is? I've been under the impression it was a broken collarbone. That could require surgery if it's not set right.
  11. The only kneeling we do is behind closed doors.
  12. Second in the west. Despite getting so lucky (), some credit would have to go to MOS.
  13. I don't understand this comment... Was his job on the line this year when he coached the team to second in the west?
  14. So far... I don't think they say that they won't add more in the future.
  15. I guess this is the key.
  16. I would prefer Glenn. I think Durant may be done and I don't care that much about Glenn playing for every team in the league. Plus the eff-you factor would still be there for Glenn, as much as it would be for Durant.
  17. He has to look at the situation in Winnipeg and sees more potential here. If the Bombers repeat their successful season, Lapo will likely get an offer to be a HC again. That, will leave the OC job open, with a much better opportunity and some stability.
  18. It's going to be a very full house when Franklin gets to Saskatchewan too. That's part of the plan, right? That's what we were told, unequivocally.
  19. I'm not surprised at the return. He's due a lot of money and has struggled for a couple of seasons. I'm surprised the Riders are willing to pay him his full contract.
  20. Wow, Vesalainen looks big and very skilled. I know it's against teens but he's still one too.
  21. I feel bad for their fan.
  22. Sens have been terrible since he arrived.
  23. Bale is a crazy method actor. That would have been very interesting.
  24. They need a defender too. Why not Hutch, Petan and Chiarot for ???? I'm not in favour of trading Chairot, BTW. Not now, for sure.
