2 1/2 more days for sales. If the 1,000 tickets a day stays true, and even picks up as we get closer to game day, good chance we get close to 30k,

Two days out and the forecast for Sunday looks to be -3 with little to no wind. Shaping up to be a beautiful day for football. Lets get those tickets sold!

Westwood seems to be getting more and more "preachy" the longer he is on the air. The chemistry between him and Toth does not seem to be materializing. I put a lot of this on Toth. He is supposed to be the polished / educated broadcaster and host. Others in that role seemed to manage the show much better. There are too many times where Toth starts giving his opinion on things that he comes across too wishy washy and won’t really commit to what he is saying. Either what he says sounds like he put about 2 seconds of thought into it and is the exact same comment you would hear from a buddy on the weekend.

BTW, the ridiculous amounts of commercials on CJOB is how we moved over to TSN1290 on the drive to and from the games in the first place. We would flip over to TSN1290 during the commercials and at some point just decided to stay there.

CJOB just has too many commercials in and out of the broadcast for it to have any flow. Not a huge Bauming fan either, but would rather listen to Westwood and Walby than Brown. CJOB doesn't have a whole lot to offer once Irving retires. TSN has access to the whole TV coverage crew and related people.

I've already stopped listening to CJOB pre and post game. 1290 does a much better job. The only good thing CJOB has pre and post game is the coach's interview, which is pretty much written into their contract. And yes, a further reaching signal.

I love Irving and would never want to see him leave, but he is 67, is he really going to be able to go to 74? I would have liked the rights to go to TSN1290, not sure what else CJOB has to offer other then Irving. Hope the Bombers got a good amount of cash for this deal.

Picks need to be in by 12PM Sunday.

Was chat any better last game?

I get you have a huge hate on for the goalie coach, but this criticism makes no sense. I've never seen you or anyone criticize the team for all the work Scheifele does on his own to better his career, he is applauded for it. These players are the elite of the elite. If they don't have the drive and want to continue to improve on their own during the off season, most don't stay in the league long term.

I don't think this is entirely true, I know it has had problems, but there was a time it was better. Without trying to going into a lot of the technical details that will bore most people into why it has been bad then better and worse again, there has been some back and forth on the hosting and how the backend chat server has been working. Right now we are on a hosted version of Babble. Just installed a release today that I am told should clear some of these issues up. If it doesn't, I will have to return to a self hosted version where I can control resources allocated to it. It is not a quick thing to set that server up, so if I end up going that route, it will have to wait until I can find the cycles to do it.

So it used to be okay to grope people and expose yourself, but now that people are publicly calling people out on it, it is not okay .... damn delicate people.....

Are people complaining about this? Its Halloween. Dressing up as a "Jason" or "Freddy" doesn't mean you support serial killers. What about Alec Baldwin who "dresses" up as Trump almost every week.....

These are supposed to be coming out later this morning. Here are Bauming's picks (he is one of the voters). I think I would have to give MOP to Nichols over Harris. Harris hasn't been as effective since Flanders is out of the lineup and based on last game, this team is going no where without Nichols.

Buff needs to hustle back for that puck instead of taking a skate in the park. He gets out hustled, then we get hemmed in, and Columbus goal.

The future doesn’t necessarily have to go in a linear trajectory forward in terms of technological advancement. You could introduce some kind of disaster or event that has devastated or collapsed the Federation and give it more of an edgier feel. Would it still be Star Trek without the Federation? Probably not, but you could have the show trying to rebuild it.
