The pandemic was a no win for whoever was in charge. Easy to point and shout when you have an excuse to not do anything. We'll see how Biden does when his turn comes.

Yes he was.

Not that I am down on the CFL league office but.... While the CFL did not secure a loan from Ottawa, it has been receiving government aid. Two sources familiar with the situation told The Canadian Press on Wednesday the league was to collect between $7 million and $9 million in wage subsidy...

Arash Madani reporting collusion amongst owners to target the minimum base salary $4.75M vs the cap of $5.35M. Bizarre to me how the CFL views player salaries as the problem with the CFL. XFL will be a very going concern come 2022 imo.

Too bad for Rider Nation the season did not play out. Riders would have been right in the mix. Jason Maas as OC was a very good hire. GC in Regina as well.

Need a recap. Are we happy about the AstraZenica deal now that the trials have to be restarted? The other one that needs to be stored at 70 below seems a bit sketchy as well. Might as well keep buying though. Sure to get it right eventually.

Here's a novel plan; Trudeau moves to legalize gambling on single game sporting events. Maybe adding that cut to the weed, lotteries and booze cuts will eventually balance the budget. Canada has no morals, anything goes so long as the government gets a cut.

More specific to the Riders; Dave Ritchie once said that every first year starter will cost a game at some point. I put Jeremy O'Day in that boat for costing Sask the western final by trading Collaros and going all in on Cody F. Rookie mistakes happen at all levels. What was he thinking...

Pretty interesting stuff. Must have been at least one other team around back in the day in order to have a game but point taken about the longevity of the franchise. Not specific to the Riders but I'd say time to give that a rest as well with going back 100+ to Lord Grey and all. The modern...

According to them. I have followed the Bombers a little closer over the years. There is a reason attendance is down that has nothing to do with the players or the game itself. Community owned, not for profit, controlled by one person who makes up the job as he goes and answers to no one. Check...

Not seeing what is so special about Craig Reynolds that any Rider season ticket holder (man or woman) couldn't do just as well. Just that he's the guy that gets to make $400,000 because that is the going rate. Would rather he pay for his ticket like the rest of us. That job was formerly a...

46 man roster gives lots of flexibility for newbies. Most rosters are set by free agency with only a couple of openings for training camp standouts. There is still a training camp that should really tell everything there is to know. Players themselves complain that it is a 365 day a year job so...

Pretty warm summer down there this year. Highest temperature (154) ever recorded in Death Valley at one point. Fires not so fun to deal with either.

2020 shone a new light on the CFL for me. Grew up thinking they were pretty well a government institution only to realize now that they are nothing more than a private corporation that has long took advantage of enthusiastic fans of the game. To think a 100 yr old organization grossing over $200...

Is screwing the government a victimless crime?

Being "white" in Canada has not been an advantage for the last 50 years. Being "French" is another thing.

Year one of the term is in the books. As chaotic as it has ever been. Anyone ready to vote for Chrystia Freeland as next PM?

Not sure which Trump thread to post in. Hopefully this is over soon. Unfortunately for Don and the fight he fought. I still don't know who to believe. Looks like Chris Christy is not wasting time and expect he will be running in 2024. Reminds me of the old motown song "The Backstabbers"

I tried talking my 88 yr old father into applying for the 6 year no interest, no down payment new car program just to see if they would finance an 88 yr old living off his CPP. Of course his vehicle is good enough and he doesn't need a new vehicle so maybe in a couple of years when he decides...

In todays world, yesterday is old news.
