Arceneaux as slow as molasses in January.

Young Als fan with a sign that says, "I can count to 12". Classic.

Leave it to the Riders to do a team celebration that makes them look like idiots.

Montreal is just imploding. Like WTF?

I hate it when every TSN football pbp says they'll "step aside". Like, come up with a new phrase.

OMFG Bray!

**** off Fajardo.

Why do we have to see drunk asshat Rider fans in the end zone?

Great drive by the Als.

Guess I'll have to start a Go Fund Me account.

Roberson sure can jump. What can you say?

Not over yet.

Stamps passing game starting to click. Look out Cats.

Okay, question... Is Dane Evans someone who would be of interest if he was a FA next season?

Nenshi didn't cut a deal. He just has one vote on council & most of his allies deserted him on the arena. He screwed up the first deal so badly the Flames refused to deal with him again. So, after a year & a half cooling off period & a civic election with a new city council they formed a new committee to negotiate with the Flames but Nenshi was not on that committee. Other councillors handled it & he was brought up to speed like everybody else whenever they reported to council. In the first round of negotiations he'd mouth off to the media when things were supposed to be kept in silence which really pissed off Flames President Ken King. he said the Hell with it & walked away from negotiations.

My bad. The cost was $245 million. I missed the mark on that one... LOL.

Nenshi didn't do much other than be a cheerleader. He milked that for years afterwards. I don't think he runs next election as he isn't very popular anymore.

It is. Our Mayor loves culture & art. Hates pro sports. Nenshi is a tool. The only time he shows up at sporting events is if he can wear his Stetson & be the centre of attention. Frigging media *****. He doesn't know the difference between a hockey puck & a golf ball.

The new arena wasn't part of the Olympic proposal & budget. A refurbed Saddledome was. There were very few new facilities proposed. They were willing to share downhill skiing with Whisler even though taxpayers in Calgary would have to pay for new facilities there. The bid died because Calgarians wanted a new arena, they were shocked that 4 billion dollars built no new facilities & there was no way in Hell we'd be willing to fund facilities in Whisler & not Alberta. It was a cheap bid. Also, the feds were not going to cover any cost overruns. It would be Calgary taxpayers responsibility. So, the bid proposal was massively defeated.

We built it. We paid that much. More people will attend games at a new football stadium than ever go to a new library downtown. But our mayor is a typical politician vowing to never spend a penny to support a professional team but will commit billions to a build to a new library. BTW, the City isn't funding a new arena for the Flames. They are funding an "Event Centre" that will host rock, pop & country concerts. The politicians are loathe to call it an arena & the new home of the Flames.

I agree but it is what it is. Our Mayor would rather spend $1.5 billion on a new library then $300 million on a new stadium.

We know it, living here in Calgary. The fans here hate the place. Civic politicians refuse to help fund a new stadium. Flames & the City were in negotiations for something like 3 years before they agreed to a new arena on the Stampede Grounds a block away from the Saddledome. The ill fated Calgary Next proposal was introduced in August of 2016.

Stamps D confused with the Ti Cats passing attack. BLM looks like crap. Looks like a decent crowd.

Well, the way Braley is going at it, he'll want $20 million for that sad sack franchise that he ground to dust. Now Ambrosie is involved, the all talk & no action Commissioner. If its anything like the Montreal ownership situation both teams will still be for sale this time next year with Ambrosie claiming he has to do his due diligence but he's confident the teams will be sold within the next week.
