If he was so concerned, why wait until the end of the season? He could easily quit now... is it because he's not very good and is using this as an excuse to bow out?

I'd love to see that info as well because the official numbers tell a much different story: Confirmed cases of COVID-19 On First Nations reserves in provinces, as of June 9, ISC is aware of: 237 confirmed positive COVID-19 22 hospitalizations 206 recovered cases 6 deaths Case numbers per region: British Columbia: 43 Alberta: 53 Saskatchewan: 54 Ontario: 52 Quebec: 35 https://www.sac-isc.gc.ca/eng/1581964230816/1581964277298

So I hear you're good to start running shows again. CWE got the green light today and will be live again as of this Friday. I understand Danny put forth a very compelling argument and he was able to convince government officials to give them the go ahead. I'm sure Goldstein's experience dealing with the government was a tremendous help in getting this done.

It's going to be a long time before buffet style restaurants will be allowed so this might be the new normal for Mongo's. They had to try something though. The Mongo's meatwall is an art form that will be lost to Covid-19 unfortunately!

It won't be as we remember it though... now you'll fill out a ticket with your desired ingredients and they'll fill your bowl. One of the things I loved about Mongo's was the customization and being able to tweak things as I went along... not sure how their new model will work for people like me but they're doing what they need to I guess. I'll try it but I'm keeping my expectations low. Kenaston opens tomorrow, with Regent & Polo Park opening with phase 3 (so around June 21st).

2019-20 CFL Offseason
TBF, I did say "a complete shill". Bob definitely has blue-tinted glasses on but he at least tries to be balanced. The absolutely bat-s**t crazy stuff that comes from Rod & company is on a whole other level.

I get that he's being paid to do a job but Knuckles has proven that you can do that job without being a complete shill.

I don't want Rod P. or Rod P. junior calling games... Taylor from 2 years ago would have been fine but since taking the job in Regina, he's gone full 4-Stripe. No thank you!

Agreed to that match-up, but I'd be willing to boo the **** out of the Riders any chance I get!

I personally think that figuring out the ticketing would be a much smaller problem than the concourse/entrance issues for them. As far as who goes & who doesn't, they would have some options. For example: If it's an 8 game schedule for example, one half of season ticket holders gets 4 games & the other half get the rest. You would get credit/refund options for the games you miss (like they have already done for the cancelled games). The credit/refund scenario would also apply if you got relocated from your normal seats. Seniority would probably determine who moves and who doesn't. It's not ideal but nothing is in the current world we live in. If the CFL goes to a Hub City model with Winnipeg being selected, offering tickets to non-Bomber games could be part of the refund/credit options.- Restaurant/food thread
Pros and cons to both but I lean towards propane. Charcoal is amazing for flavour but I find you get better texture (if charcoal isn't done right imo) from propane. Propane is also cheaper, quicker, easier to clean and more versatile (for grilling veggies etc). Since you already have a smoker, you can already get that nice smokey flavour that charcoal would give you.- Black Lives Matter

His CTE is why he shouldn't be out there... the little kid getting into it with him in that video probably could have taken him out.- Black Lives Matter
Not sure Liddell's NRA shirt was the best choice of things to wear... slightly better than a MAGA one I guess?- Black Lives Matter
Not true. While they didn't have black members for a long time, they have had blacks members for at least 20 years. They are few and far between but they are there.- Black Lives Matter
These numbers don't even include incidents like this one, since it didn't involve a shooting. Just I guess at the moment but I'd bet expanded numbers that include non-shooting deaths make the numbers even worse.- Black Lives Matter
100% After looking at some government studies, a couple of other things that stood out to me: Black people shot by police were more likely to be unarmed than white people were & the fatality rate for blacks was nearly 3 times higher than for whites.- Covid-19
What he's put out since moving to the Free Press has definitely shifted so I'm not sure how much of it is his actual opinion as opposed to towing the company line. Charles Adler has also shifted his views over the last few years but his change definitely seems more personal than Broadbeck.- 2019-20 Grey Cup Champs Off-season discussion.
He does. https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/MikeNguyenArt He's from Winnipeg.- Covid-19
From what I was told, there were a number of false positives (8 was the # given) this week so your information is fairly accurate. False positives are supposed to be rare and we've had quite a few of them in Manitoba so that's makes me wonder about the testing methods being used here.- The RIP 2020 Thread
