Around the League: 2019 Off Season
I read the league is looking to take them over, then sell them off. Crazy.

Thing is, the original convo happens off the record with Butts (or someone else in the PMO office). If there are documents, someone thought it was a good idea to proceed with something more formal 'threat'. Yikes.

If you're a die-hard Liberal, how are you not disgusted? SNC-Lav tries to blackmail the gov't and the PMO obliges. SNC-Lav is used to dealing with terrorists, so they must have learned a thing or two. At this point, lop the head off the party and hope there's something worth redeeming below.

Fox never reported on that, so the sheep don't know about them.

I wonder where she keeps her emails? Worth speculating on for sure...

The day the Mueller report finally comes out is the day Fox "News" covers AOCs wacky clothing choices and rehashes her dancing video.

This is the type of schedule Johnny can handle.- Jets Playoff watch
Wanna bet? I think we see a rematch of last years Rd2. This time, I think the Jets take it in 6 games because the Preds will be even more worn down than they were against the Avs. That's my prediction, anyhow. Luckily, there'a an edit button, so I can erase it in the future.- Jets Playoff watch
Nash loses to the Jets in RD 2, is what you're saying. I don't think the Canes can beat the Bolts. I think the Bruins can beat the Bolts though.- US Politics
Just open your mouth and accept whatever Fox feeds you.- US Politics
No one was stunned. Everyone knows this is a smokescreen. Typical GOP.- Alliance of American Football
Committed up to $250M. I didn't realize that he actually put $60M in. That surprises me. Must be using that bunch of jerks money.- Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL
If Vince were to simply liquidate $350M (or whatever he's sold so far) of WWE shares that would cause a negative impact on the corporation. It might make investors nervous, devaluing WWE. Now, if Vince were to say liquidate that same stock with the express purpose of bankrolling the return of the XFL, that would cause less concern about the WWE. Investors may question Vince's decision but not be concerned about the Corp. So, what if Vince invests a modest amount of money into reviving the XFL but suddenly determines that it's not viable. Maybe that's been the play the whole time, taking his cash out of WWE and divesting it elsewhere because he knows the company is overvalued. The failure of the AAF would be a perfect cover. Tin foil hat back on securely.- Alliance of American Football
Canes owner, Dundon, didn't actually put money into it.- Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL

He's a rich, white man. He does and says whatever he wants, then shouts down those that disagree.- Wrestling
That seems unusual. I must be out of touch but how many people publicly name their babies until they're born? I know "reveal" parties and announcements have become big deals, which is also bizarre to me. And, get off my lawn!- Wrestling
Wait a minute... She's named the baby? Is she pregnant or has given birth?- Wrestling
I really enjoyed that doc. So well done.- Around the League: 2019 Off Season
Identical to FIFA. When we hosted the Women's World Cup, the Bombers turned the keys over to FIFA and they took over. If I remember correctly, the Canada Summer Games was similar too. Get the keys, take over responsibility (including insurance), and put up your signage.- Random News Items

Also from Wiki: Ticket prices for the Series were announced in May, and averaged C$183 per seat. In Buffalo, Bills tickets averaged C$51 per seat. Crazytown. Here's the Wikiepedia article. Seems to be well referenced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bills_Toronto_Series- Around the League: 2019 Off Season
