The Hall of Fame debate should be pretty interesting.

Cathal Kelly’s got the Simmons/Sun level of hot takery mixed with Toronto Star condescension. He’s worse, and that’s saying something.

I’d say the CFL players would be better, if smaller, but my issues:

-Coaching quality. SEC coaches are basically NFL calibre. CFL coaches literally used to shadow a peace sign with their other hand to signal a “cover two”.

-Depth. Do we go with the ~40 man CFL roster, or does the CFL team get SEC style 500 depth

The second one especially, mainly because I understand the urge. The proliferation of carry-ons has made it 10x worse.

At least that could have some element of interest and involves a productive activity. Other people’s fantasy teams are pretty much the worst non-violence/hatred related conversation topic to hear.

Only because I”m awful and do it myself:

Don’t Tecmo Bowl your way to the front right after the seat belt lights go off.

Last December, while flying alone, I was sitting next to a guy who was about 24-26. He proceeded to loudly talk to me for most of the flight, in between Game Boy sessions with the volume turned up. My impression was he was autistic to some degree.

We had a conversation for the vast majority of the (2.5hr) flight. I

“905” has been used a lot longer than the hip hop sense as a geographic identifier for the area.

They’re not marketing to just Mississauga: They’re also aiming for Brampton, Oakville, Vaughan, Milton, etc.

Only if he loses an eye.

To his credit, he did make a pretty authentic sounding two tweet apology for his stupid, broad generalization.

If Bayless and Smith did the same thing, it’d probably be the length of War and Peace.

Where’s the joke?

Do it all you want, it’s just really strange and petty to insult him for something every teenager on earth has done and then add a passive aggressive “congrats” and the end.

Good on you for retroactively calling out a kid training to be the best goalie in the world for being a shy, awkward teenager. That took real guts.

This hasn’t happened for 10 years.

HEY. That’s unfair and uncalled for.

People in Canada tend to like the Count.

25 years (even counting the WHA) isn’t long in pro hockey.

The logo, name, and uniforms were fun. The team was the definition of mediocrity on and off the ice. They had an “Adams Division Playoff Champion” banner, for god’s sake.

Keep in mind that the Winnipeg group was led by a billionaire they wanted into the club. Same with the Tampa and Buffalo sales.

That’s part of why an expansion fee is so huge: They just want straight cash. In 1990 Japanese shell corporations (Tampa Bay Lightning) and a ridiculously stupid real estate development

Proximity to Chicago probably killed it in the early expansion eras. In the later ones the only real criteria was who could pay the expansion fee up front.
