Can't afford billboards if you're spending money on tests, you know.

Covid-19
Pallister just said that they don't want asymptomatic people getting tested. Only those with symptoms. Also, they've closed so many testing sites that the lines are really long in places like Brandon. ------------------------- 10 of the new cases today were in Winnipeg.

Covid-19
I'll point out that two of the most successful re-starts have taken place in Florida. MLS and NBA have created great bubbles. But, that works because of the orgs and because of the player's commitments. The venues have been great. Not sure how you would have college football in a bubble? Or has the NCAA stopped pretending they actually care about the player's academically?

2020 Thread
I don't know. I haven't heard anything from the Bombers org. It's pretty small, without a lot of turnover (after Miller got his people in). I wouldn't put too much into those that we're pushed out. I just heard things from prior to his Bomber tenure. It only came up because he has a high profile in the community.

I cannot speak of the Bomber's org but I've heard complaints from his other ventures, Pinnacle, Elite, etc.

The Lafreniere Draft Lottery
I don't understand your question. 1. It was Ambrosie's fault. We all know it. 2. The lottery happened but the teams that made the qualifying round couldn't be slotted into their position. So, not all the draft positions were known. An "unknown" position won the lottery. Now, you can't have a team tank out to get the number one overall pick, so they tossed all the qualifiers into a hat. Everyone getting an equal chance. This was not predetermined prior to the initial draft. 3. Ambrosie fixed it so the Rangers won, which means it's his fault. How he has sway in the NHL is unknown but I'm certain Bettman and Ambrosie are part of a secret Commish cult. Manfred is a Grand Poobah in this cult.

The Star Trek Thread!
Has anyone else watched the first episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks? I thought it was funny and am curious where it will go.

Oh, wow. With all the money they're going to lose, I truly expected them to find a way to put their student athletes into harms way to ensure they padded their pockets.

Around The NHL 2019/2020
It would suck for sure but the lottery is still the best system to ensure teams don't tank. I know the players don't tank but management can certainly do things to help give points away. None of those teams tried to tank this year but, through pure luck, may end up with the top pick. I think that shows that the lottery is working. Of course I don't want any of them to get the first pick. And, Steve Simmons is a piece of trash. That is all.

Someone is going to get that first pick and seven other fanbases are going to be choked.

The world may be experiencing an unprecedented upheaval but the Leafs just keep being the Leafs. Blessed.

The Goldeyes will definitely not make the CFL playoffs.- Qualifier : Game 4
We have about $15M of cap space currently. But we have a lot of holes to fill. We have 4 defenders under contract right now at just over $10M. Hooboy,- 2019-20 Grey Cup Champs Off-season discussion.
I miss Blue Bomber football. I'm not sure if seeing the ring ceremony is helping or making it worse but I am thankful that we won last fall.- Qualifier : Game 4
I can't believe Jets fans still wanted these guys at those prices. This has to be the worst Jets' fan take over the past couple of years.- Other Qualifer Games
Now we have to worry about the following teams *potentially* having the first overall pick: Edmonton - God help us. Toronto - Shoot me now. Pittsburgh - Feels about the appropriate time for them to re-up with a new generational player New York (R) - They always stumble up. Florida - Another elite player buried in Miami. (Not really Miami) Nashville - This would suck for the Jets but the team is well run and has earned their success. Minnesota - Roundhouse kick to the Jets' solar plexus. Winnipeg - Pay back for not being able to enjoy a victory lap this season with the Grey Cup! 🤣- Other Qualifer Games
On one hand, watching the Leafs blow a big lead is always funny. But, on the other hand, I don't want them getting that first overall. I'm torn.- 2020 Thread

I hope Miller is the next commish. It would drive the Rider fans crazy and stuff would actually get done.- Covid-19
