I love the development downtown but hope it's sustainable. This one should be okay in the end. SkyCity on the other hand.... They have been talking about this development for years. The longer it went on the chances it would come to fruition became less & less. Goalie and JCon 2

I've kind of said all along that I put those chances at less than 50 percent because the group that proposed it has a history of not having the money JCon and SpeedFlex27 3

It's interesting that they are so close to the star that they may be tidally locked like the moon is to the Earth.... meaning the same side always faces the star. I think that would kinda throw out any concept of livability as one side would always be hot and the other would always be cold. But maybe not. Nice discovery. I wish I could live long enough that we could send some kind of probe there.

So...yes!

Either way, I'm there if they open one!
The Unknown Poster Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 Did their brand of comedy just not translate to the US? Speculation of a bidding war between Sportsnet and TSN for their services.

Speculation of a bidding war between Sportsnet and TSN for their services. Here's a quote from the Toronto Star: Quote FS1 has moved toward more opinionated hosts debating topics, and Onrait and O’Toole’s humorous take didn’t fit in with that plan. Everything has to be adversarial to get the ratings it seems.

Speculation of a bidding war between Sportsnet and TSN for their services. I've always been a big fan of Jay and Dan... disappointed when they left... I think a part of the problem with their "comedy" is at TSN it happened very organically and you could tell there was a natural rapport... so trying to translate some of their bits to a new market and new culture just didn't go over well... but like @Atomic said, ESPN is still beating up FS1... and like @Jacquie said, they apparently need to be controversial or adversarial to get ratings... which is why they hired former ESPN employees like Colin Cowherd, Skip Bayless (no idea how this clown gets ratings), and Jason Whitlock...
