He buys the Redskins and while it's still worth a gazillion dollars, he has consistently drawn down the fan base over the years and completely alienated season ticket holders. The myth of the waiting list being completely exposed many years ago.

Dude bought a controlling interest in Six Flags, puts his ESPN buddy Shapiro in charge of day-to-day and then has to file Chapter 11 a few years later.

He sucks so hard.

He bought and then ran Johnny Rockets into the ground too.

Hard to see how Snyder survives this, but I'm sure he's going to absolutely hang on for dear life.

I'm only half way thru that article and, hoo boy... Everything we already that about the guy x1000.

Don't see how they're going to be able to force Snyder to sell unless he was part of it.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Thu Jul 16, 2020 5:02 pm

Yeah, you're probably right.

This also makes the move by the minority stakes owners selling their shares a few weeks back.

I really think FedEx, Nike and Dick's knew this was coming weeks ago.

The Edmonton Eskimos will also be chancing their name next week.

Their logo is Two Es so any name starting with E and they don't have to change anything. I think it'll be the Elks but i hope it's the Edmonton Edmittens

Etobicoke is part of Toronto, a city that most Albertans hate.

As for the Washington story, I'm guessing that Santos fella's going to need to lawyer up soon. Mrs. Santos got to be pretty pissed off.

That's OK. I still sometimes get Etobicoke and Mississauga confused so I'm not perfect.

Bomani took him out quite nicely.

And unfollow Rovell if you haven't already. (Never having followed him is also unacceptable.)

Rough Riders available?

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Fri Jul 17, 2020 5:57 am

They should stick with something that Edmonton is famous for.

Which would be the Oilers and very little else.

I've been there and like most people who have been there, it's tough to find something good to say.

My wife has a ton of family in Mississauga and I pronounce the end of the name "gwah" just to antagonize them.

Didn't the Pope make a proclamation that Catholics didn't need to go to mass or eat the cracker during pandemic? Trump didn't protect American Catholic's religious freedoms from the Pope!

And this happened today, with Trump as President, so clearly she isn't saying it's America. Her point was showing what a bunch of Godless Liberals will do if they get power in America, it will turn into the Socialist hellscape that is Canada!

You'll probably not be surprised to learn that Ms. Ingraham is lying through her teeth.

Archdiocese of Toronto modifies Eucharist rite to observe safety protocols amid pandemic

The Archdiocese of Toronto — which includes 27 municipalities and stretches well beyond the city’s borders — has implemented a modified version of communion where a priest delivers his blessing from more than two metres away, hands the congregant their wafer, and they then move more than two metres away from the priest before removing their mask and consuming the bread.

I will say this, it is a sad state of affairs when a spokesman for a cCatholic Archdiocese makes more sense than half of the politicians south of the border.

I never thought Catholic communion would be the reason the US finally invades Canada to liberate us from our oppressors.

My 80 year-old super-Catholic mother is cool with the limitations put on the church for the pandemic. So, Laura Ingraham can eat a bag of dildos.

Maybe there's something here?

I am partial to "Kardex" the name of the Townawanda (suburb of Buffalo) that played 1 game in the NFL.
