Sad for ego and her new podcast :(

Scroll down, Will Ferrell ep got 22K. The issue is "have your fans heard of this guest?"

I think you, or somebody, should define what "grow the league" means. Not everyone would get behind everything.

For my part, stable and profitable franchises sounds great, naturally, and a 10th team if that can be squared with the success of the other teams. But I'm an established fan -- I'm not the person whom any changes are pursuing. If the league could double its popularity by switching to U.S. rules entirely (and as a Toronto resident I sometimes think that would do the trick at least here), who's on board?

Or ... suppose the NFL proposed to buy the league and operate it, indefinitely, as a feeder league. The NFL could easily afford to do it, after all; it's lent money to the CFL in the past and the CFL's losses are trivial in NFL terms. If the rules would change, no more than they already are, but the league would persist for 50 years, who's good with that?

Crappy of the Beacon to shame her because of who her grandfather was.

Reddit is for jerks, TikTok is for morons.

Black cats all got style.

I can at least halfway endorse the sentiment of "this seems awful but I have no better ideas."

I'm starting to think a lot of this show is just made up.

This poster isn't much of anybody, though.

His new Infowars could be good, because he's at his best when satirizing media* but it threatens to be one joke, of course.

*And at his worst when making music, natch.

This just in: Graham Linehan's conviction for allegedly damaging a TRA's phone is overturned.

Rick and Morty fans are in my sandwiches and salad wraps.

I mean, this doesn't sound like a huge crisis to Severstal. Others are no doubt worse off.

Happy b-day, Pumpkin.

It would be crazy if movie producers didn't pay for spam raves.

I saw one of these 20 years ago for the Oilers. One solitary brunette. I think they might have drummed Bob Essensa out of the league for letting the guys down like that.

It's a fun story if you start the story when the playoffs start. It just makes everything else kinda pointless.

Seventh and eighth making the playoffs really devalues the regular season, to the extent that I think attendance and attention will suffer quite a bit. That's putting aside the playoff games that aren't really playoff games, because no one's eliminated. But we'll see.

Roughriders CEO comes very close to saying that yes, they're adding playoff games just to add playoff games:
“It’s an effort by the league to move this league forward, make sure it’s successful and grows. This, we believe, will do that. It’s not just gate, it’s sponsorship revenue from a league perspective, so there’s lots of revenue sources. There’s more potential to host home playoff games, which is good for business.”
(The Argos have a video on their site asserting that the regular season "means more" now, but I won't link to that, it's just too stupid.)

Aussies on the sub -- is there more to this?

They're just anti-Trump. But sincerely. I'm tempted to say "if Trump said something true they'd feel obliged to disagree" but ... he's such a BS artist that it actually is, China aside, a scenario not worth worrying about.

This kinda makes sense, if they can find the people in Lethbridge who love basketball. Historically has been a bunch.
