Are you ever gonna calm down in your old age 😂

He works for the BOG's he is following their direction and trying to get the best deal for them. I dont understand why commissioners in pro sports leagues get so much hate while Owners generally get a pass for the actions that they influence. If you guys are mad get mad at Wade Miller or whoever sits on the BOGs as the bombers representatives

Florida Man Asks Police to Test His Meth to Ensure Its Authenticity https://www.newsweek.com/florida-man-asks-police-test-his-meth-ensure-its-authenticity-1687899

I feel way more offended at Wade Miller. Definitely lost some respect.

Battle of Alberta, taking me back to my childhood.

Players practice year-round, so I doubts it's an issue to the PA. They're here and they're getting into game shape. Players seemed concerned with padded practices, not practices in general.

At my age, the only ‘roids that bother me aren’t the injectables.

They're just being professionals. Has no impact on negotiations.

Agree with you Jesse... Ambrosie is the messenger and delivers what he is instructed from the powers of the league. Have limited trust in anything coming out of Toronto, especially those connected to Argos & TSN media based there. I would have hoped that both sides could/would have come to some kind of mutual agreement. Neither side has gained anything with me, other than ticking me off. If the league walked away, silly move and negotiating in public is so very wrong. Adam, getting fans to walk the picket line, is also wrong as well... To all who are concerned with this, just get back and hammer this thing out. That's what matters most to everyone....

Not an Ambrosie fan but this has nothing to do with him.

It’s called math.

‘I’m not going there’. There’s the problem summarized in four words. The honor system doesn’t work. What a joke.

Sign a 10 year CBA to "see how things unfold over the next couple of years." We've all heard Suitor talk enough to know he isn't very clever but now it's confirmed in print.

It is getting weird/ scary. I was fuelling up a slip tank at a cardlock yesterday. A guy about my age that I didn't know pulled in to fuel his pickup and came over to talk which is normal in a small town. Dude : Getting rready to go to the field Me: If it ever dries up Dude: Boy I wonder what that will cost you when you get the bill ? Me : I don't know but it won't be cheap. And this is where the conversation went right off the wall. Dude : Well, I hate to say it ( looking around ) but someone should shoot that Trudeau Me : ( after a few shocked seconds ) You mean because of the carbon tax , because that's got nothing to do with why the fuel price rocketing up. It's just whats going on in the Ukraine and that being used as an excuse to charge more money here. Dude: Well Trudeau is sending them fuel ! ( Edit : He also said they are trying to make us drive electric cars like it was some horrible thing) At that point I gave him a whatever and got busy strapping my tank down. But I find it unnerving that a random stranger would assume it was OK to say that to me about ANY leader. The world is collectively going off its nut.

The BOG completely screwed themselves over with Ambrosie's letter to the players around the PA. Why would any vets, PA members, suit up for preseason now? As Naylor states there, the revenue from those games is all for the owners not the players.

and more than "concerned about padded practice", they're concerned with health insurance/coverage.....

Not every team has a rep in the negotiation process. It's Wade & Hamilton's Scott Mitchell who are handling the league's side of things. https://3downnation.com/2022/05/05/cfl-wants-to-eradicate-canadian-ratio-in-cba-proposal-to-players-association/

Blaming Helle is literally the single most clueless take a fan can have when it comes to anything Jets

This is a surprising turn of events... the retaking of Crimea and Donbas are on the table. USA support on these objectives must mean that they see Ukraine as likely victors in this war. And wow, this pic:

So, with the players on strike, should I suspend the countdown? Let’s ask this number 25: OK then. We shall continue.

He's just a figurehead. He's not negotiating this contract. If you need to send your hate to one person, sure it's his job to take it - but none of this is coming from him.

May 15th OT games, OT games everywhere PIT 3-4 NYR : Rangers play Carolina next DAL 2-3 CAL : Flames play Oilers next Dallas goalie was outstanding but the winning goal was chit.

Let's go Rangers. One more round.

Why are owners refusing an auditor? If there isn’t transparency during negotiations, I wouldn’t sign a deal either.

12 padded practices is less than one a week and way less than they used to have. Heck, they had 2 a days in pads back in the day. That's a dumb hill to die on IMO. Revenue sharing? What revenue? The CFL is propping up teams with money from the other clubs. Edmonton lost over a million bucks last year. The players have no business in sharing revenue unless they're willing to share the losses to and we all know they aren't about to do that. I agree with 5 years and setting the expiry date at least 30 days before training camps. I'd like to see it set to the last day in March.

Yup he works with a different gear. Too bad the Oilers have him.

Not sure I want to know! Something served with baby carrots and baby potatoes I would guess

Man if the player's think there is a huge amount of uncounted coin in the CFL then we are in trouble...the only 2 teams that from my count that might of made some money is Wpg, Sask and that is not including what they had to share to prop up TO.

Hope to see him back in the not too distant future.

I fully support the players on this one.

Totally goes with the authoritarian-follower profile that the book describes. Looking to follow a strong leader, able to compartmentalize incompatible views, no critical thinking regarding their own views, angry and willing to accept attributions by those who cast themselves as a strong leader that will stick up for their interests (PP), willing to use violence to have their interests win out.

That potential is always there as the Stanford Experiment proved.

Not the first day of TC we were hoping for.

If Putin is removed or dies how long will it take for Trump to take credit and say he didn't like him and barely knew him

After the attempted coup, I thought America only had one last chance to pull them back from the brink dand that would be their judiciary system. But it has failed.

And in a shocking turn of events, the white offender was arrested alive.

There isn't nearly enough detail in Ambrosie statement. Feels too much like spin without digging into those numbers.

Bucha: April 7 and May 10 russo ukrainian warukrainebucha

Very windy in rural areas. On a farm near Portage La Prairie, a hen was seen to lay the same egg three times.

Nothing so far-fetched if you accept the concept of "prisons for profit", adding "orphanages for profit" just improves the vertical integration of business, cuts down costs and helps maximize profit. I believe there are people who would gladly re-introduce "slavery for profit", if they could find a way to do it without using the word "slavery".

Why does Raskin think that the people whom participated in a plot to overthrow his government... will do " their patriotic duty" ? Why would a person like him say something that preposterous? Nancy Pelosi rules of engagement. she is bad for Democracy. I am having trouble Managing the daily inflow of complete world wide insanity.

Musk is losing lots of money right now. He's going to back out of the deal to buy Twitter.

Not sure what he's up to now. 1290 closed the doors, I'm sure he still wants to make it, but if he has a day job, what do you expect him to do?

Source unknown: I was thinking of the "free exchange of ideas" last night. You know, it's not like a market, it's like a potluck. Everyone brings their own ideas and you sample others and some are familiar with a twist, some are interesting but not to your taste, some are bad, some are lifechanging. You can get into a discussion about recipes or technique, or what have you as people talk about the food. If someone brings mashed potatoes, you can debate the appropriateness for a potluck: is it too bland? Will it get cold on the table? Do potatoes make up too much of our diet? But if someone puts a steaming platter of dog **** on the table, we're not going to debate it. And when we tell them to take it off the table, it's not because we are afraid of eating their dog **** or we think that it's going to revolutionize lunch and we don't want that to happen. We tell them to get it off the table because there is no debate to be had. It's dog ****. It's not an open question, it's not a matter of palettes or picky eaters. That's why we don't engage with neo-nazis and white supremacists, and it's why we don't (or shouldn't) let them come to the potluck

Something, something, cancel culture, wokeism, something, something.
