So, can we get the Grey Cup invalidated for using an illegal player?

Just kidding...

Wow, betting on a game you played in.  Has he never heard of Pete Rose?

I think Pete Rose was accused of gambling while he was a manager, not during his playing days that I am aware of. He said he did not bet on any games he was managing if I recall correctly too. He is STILL BANNED from the MLB hall of fame......Shoeless Joe Jackson's fate as well (Black Sox scandal in 1910's)

Sort of a farce now with gambling prevalent for all the leagues now. So easy for players to get swept up into it in some cases, especially with lower paying salaries in the CFL compared to the 4 BIG North American leagues. MLS/XFL/WELAF might be in the same boat too as lower tiered players probably make peanuts. All minor league or junior sports too as salaries small or almost non-existent in the WHL/OHL/QMJHL (education scholarships, room & board, maybe some spending money the junior players are officially allowed - I think a lot goes on under the covers in the hockey top tier junior leagues though - HEY WHERE DID YOU GET THE NEW CAR?  )

I don't know about this, at 36, that's old for a MLB, Yes, he's had a great career, so did Andrew Harris, but you can't play forever, and there was more than a couple of plays that he was in a trailing position for a score. I don't think he'll make it through this season injury free. We should have grabbed Sankey and moved Bighill to Will to prolong his career and have our heir apparent at the MLB under contract. Oh well, we'll see who steps up when the time comes...

Always a fun position group to see in TC (any group that has a spot or two open is).

Can we stop calling it the dime.  The strongside linebacker is still considered a linebacker.

Does it matter?

Some baffling whining from Bruins HC: https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/jim-montgomery-questions-toronto-maple-leafs-boston-bruins-series-schedule-1.2108966

What an insipid thing to complain about during the playoffs.

Now it's a best of 5 and we desperately need to win at least one in Denver.

Felt we had some very decent scoring chances but it just wasn't meant to be
We need to control the neutral zone better and play smarter without the puck 

No desperately, literally we have to win one in Colorado.  They now have home ice advantage, if they win every home game, we lose.
