Puts how badly Pallister has managed the rollout into perspective.

2021 CFL Entry Draft
Yep, every draft profile I've seen for him has him going on Day 3. That stuff was written pre-pro day but impressive testing won't be enough to move up enough to be a 1st round pick (imo).

Osh only needs to know if the kid is tough enough to wear shorts in a Winnipeg winter. The rest can be taught. 😅

Covid-19
Depends on the time of day I guess because when I went for my 1st dose on Sunday night, there was no line for the parkade. Even the drop-off/pick-up area in front of the convention center only had a couple cars waiting to get in. Street parking was fairly full on Edmonton & Carlton but there was lots open on Broadway, which is where I parked & walked from. I fully expected it to be busier and I showed up early in case I needed to walk from a distance but I was able to find parking easily.

They are doing a poor job of letting people know but if you are going to the convention center for the vaccine, you can park for free in the parkade. https://www.wcc.mb.ca/covid-immunization-clinic/

Calm, composed Francis with improved wrestling is a scary individual.

2021 Season
Some good info in this Twitter thread from Farhan for those wondering what paycuts non-players have taken.

2021 Season
It shouldn't, which is why those guys are or at least should be the focus for the players. Executives don't fall under the football ops salary cap so unless they also volunteer to take a paycut, I think this proposal is D.O.A.

2021 Season
It's been well documented that most coaches already have taken a cut. The focus, from player responses I've seen, seems to be more on if GM's and Team Presidents are going to take a cut as well.

Around The NHL 2020/21
New Jersey took over that role as soon as they traded for Taylor Hall. I fully expect Buffalo to win the lottery now that he's taken his lottery magnet over there.

Upcoming Movies
Zach Snyder's Justice League is out on Crave. It's a whopping 4 hours long but I powered through it this afternoon. Without going into details, I enjoyed it more than the original but was still a bit disappointed.

Wait until you see the next easing of restrictions that are likely being announced Thursday...

Covid-19
Thanks to expanded eligibility, I'm able to to get my 1st vaccination. Hopefully they get the online booking system up soon because doing it over the phone was not the smoothest process I've ever had!

2021 CFL Free Agency
There's almost no doubt they'll have to. There may not be a cap now but there will be eventually and there's no way they are under. It'll be interesting to see the reaction from the guys they are signing to big deals only to be cut a couple months down the road.

Best I've had here would either be from Ramallah Cafe or Baraka Bakery.

The RIP 2021 Thread
I was way too young to have seen this fight but I had heard of it. A few years ago, Lalonde wrote about his experience and his unsuccessful chase for a legit fight with Hearns. https://ringsidereport.com/?p=49495

They just the one fight and it only lasted 3 rounds but man that was a legendary fight.

Wrestling
As soon as I saw how little the ringside are had been moved back, I knew it was not going to live up to previous matches like this. It was a terrible finish to an otherwise enjoyable match. Not the 1st time this has happened with this time type of match though - the King of the Deathmatch tournament finals with Terry Funk and Cactus Jack had the ring fail to explode at all.

There was some (very subtle) hinting at Dr. Strange in the 2nd credit scene.

I didn't watch the Wire until a few years ago and I always wonder why I hadn't heard about it sooner. It's easily one of my favorites of all-time and it's forever changed how I pronounce the word ****! 😅- Canadian Politics
Jason Kenney = Ralph Wiggum seems about right although Ralph would make a better premier.- 2021 CFL Free Agency
