Seems to me that the pregame stuff is getting excruciatingly longer every year.

What's wrong with a bunch of people jumping around like spastic frogs on meth?

Sadly, no. Perhaps then we could fastforward through it.

ITS SHOWTIME!

Ottawa and Regina are both valleys of death at the moment for a new head coach, but no doubt someone's ego will propel them into those jobs.

Tui who?

Agreed. The Bombers have to play their game- pressure MBT, take away his running game and march the field until the Argo defence tires, and then and only then start bombing them.

Valar morghulis.

Because 'Mericuh. Who needs breathable air when you can have guns and Jesus.

Musk Restores Trump's Twitter Account After Online Poll LOS ANGELES (AP) — Elon Musk reinstated Donald Trump’s account on Twitter on Saturday, reversing a ban that has kept the former president off the social media site since a pro-Trump mob attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was poised to certify Joe Biden’s election victory. Musk made the announcement in the evening after holding a poll that asked Twitter users to click “yes” or “no” on whether Trump’s account should be restored. The “yes” vote won, with 51.8%. “The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk tweeted, using a Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people, the voice of God.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/musk-to-restore-trump-to-twitter-after-holding-online-poll_n_63797dfbe4b0c5739621421a

Agreed- even in the 2021 Grey cup game. No question the Bombers were the better team and deserved the win, but the TiCats with Masoli gave them everything they could handle and it took a heroic interception for the Blue to cement the win.

And spoon-feeding them to the team.

BC will move heaven and Earth to keep Rourke. He was the only reason the Lions were not flighting it out with the Elks and Riders for the basement of the western division of the CFL. He is also young, personable and intelligent-everything you need to build a team around.

Sweetheart dealings with the Trump klepto-empire cost almost all of the Deutsche Bank's upper management their jobs and careers. Any lender who did not foresee this deserves to suffer the same fate.

Chris Hemsworth Taking Time Off After Finding Out Alzheimer’s Predisposition ‘JUST SIMPLIFY’ Alec Karam Breaking News Intern Published Nov. 18, 2022 3:08PM ET Jason Howard/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Chris Hemsworth is taking time off from his career in light of discovering he’s predisposed to Alzheimer’s disease. Hemsworth plans to begin his hiatus after he wraps the press tour for his Disney+ docuseries series Limitless. The 39-year-old Thor actor’s grandfather has Alzheimer’s, leading him to discover his own predisposition during the filming of the show. “Now when I finish this tour this week, I’m going home and I’m going to have a good chunk of time off and just simplify,” he said. “Be with the kids, be with my wife.” Hemsworth said he hopes his announcement helps others take a step back and take better care of themselves

The banks who lent Musk the money (and most of the purchase price was borrowed) must be in near-panic. This may have been a bridge too far for Musk. Hubris will out.

Still Oakman was very good and prominent in line play. Perhaps not an all-star but would be even better if partnered up with the Jeffs.

A stunning display of stupidity and a dearth of self-awareness or awareness in general.

Kyle Rittenhouse Meets With GOP House Caucus Kyle Rittenhouse, the rifle-wielding teenager who shot two unarmed racial justice protesters to death in Kenosha, Wisconsin, two years ago, met with members of the GOP Second Amendment House caucus on Thursday. Rittenhouse, found not guilty of homicide charges last year for killings his lawyers argued were self-defense, met with members of the pro-gun caucus at a gathering at the Conservative Partnership Institute office near the Capitol. "Expanding financial relationship": Saudis funneled “billions” to Trump family before 2024 launch Former President Donald Trump shakes hands with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Oval Office of the White House on March 20, On Thursday, Judd Legum laid out in his Popular Information blog the full extent to which the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has poured money into the Trump family — as former President Donald Trump launches his third consecutive campaign for the White House ahead of 2024. "The coverage of his announcement was broadly critical, focusing on the poor results of the candidates he endorsed in the 2022 midterms. Reports also noted some other issues complicating Trump's run, including his role in fomenting an insurrection and the federal criminal investigation into his handling of classified documents," reported Legum. "These stories virtually ignored one of the most significant developments since Trump left the White House: his expanding financial relationship with Saudi Arabia. Since Trump left office, entities controlled by the Saudi government, a repressive regime responsible for the murder of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, have sent billions to Trump and his family members." The total investment from the Saudis, Legum estimated, is in the "billions." To begin with, wrote Legum, "The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) has spent billions creating LIV, a new golf tour. Two of LIV's eight tournaments in 2022 were held at Trump-owned golf courses, including the season-ending championship at Trump Doral in Florida." Then there is the PIF's investment into Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, through his real estate business: "The full board of PIF, led by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, overruled the committee's recommendation and decided to invest $2 billion. Under the deal, Kushner will receive a $25 million annual management fee, plus a percentage of any profits." This deal was approved by the Saudi royals over the objections of PIF officials who recommended against it. And then there is another Trump licensing deal in the works with a private company closely linked to the Saudi royals, Legum continued: "Earlier this week, Trump 'struck a deal with a Saudi-based real estate company to license its name to a housing and golf complex that will be built in Oman.' The agreement was made 'with Dar Al Arkan, one of Saudi Arabia's largest real estate companies, for the project.' Under the arrangement, Trump will receive 'a cut of condo sales or golf course revenue in exchange for allowing its name to be used.' The proceeds could be considerable since the project is estimated to cost $1.6 billion and 'will include an estimated 3,500 residential units, luxury retail and 450 rooms at the hotels.'"

Hundreds Of Workers Seem To Leave Twitter As Elon Musk's 'Hardcore' Deadline Passes Hundreds of Twitter employees appeared to flee on Thursday after Elon Musk demanded that only “extremely hardcore” staffers remain as he seeks to transform the social media giant to fit his own vision. Musk sent a memo to staffers Wednesday morning saying Twitter would only have room for those prepared to work “long hours at high intensity,” echoing expectations at his other companies, Tesla and SpaceX. “Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore,” he wrote. “Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.” The email asked staffers to click on a link if they were prepared to meet those expectations. Anyone who declined would be offered three months’ severance, it said. The New York Times reported that Musk and his team met with some Twitter workers who had not signed on to the new expectations just hours before the 5 p.m. deadline on Thursday, trying to stop some employees deemed “critical” to the business from leaving. He also appeared to scale back his demand that all employees return to the office for at least 40 hours a week. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-hardcore-deadline-twitter-workers-leave_n_6376cfd6e4b08013a8b4d498

GOP Strategist Found Guilty of Moving Illegal Russian Funds to Trump Campaign A Republican political operative was convicted of illegally funneling a Russian businessman’s contributions to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Jesse Benton, 44, a onetime aide to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), former congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), and Paul’s son, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), worked with another consultant to shift money from the Russian national, who was seeking to meet and take a photo with Trump, according to The Washington Post. The Russian reportedly sent $100,000 to Benton, who was working for a pro-Trump political action committee in 2016. He used $25,000 to cover the cost of a ticket a Republican National Committee event, which got the Russian his picture with Trump. Benton claimed he’d earned the $100,000 acting as a guide to Washington, D.C. for the Russian, the Post reported. The 44-year-old was previously pardoned by Trump in 2020 for a separate campaign finance crime. Just months later, he was indicted on the charges that would lead to Thursday’s conviction, including conspiring to solicit and cause an illegal campaign contribution by a foreign national. “He knew the law,”
