The Swamp

Well that all got rather exciting at the end Holy crap. That was insane. I've been waiting for someone to do one of these free pit stops just to try to get a single fastest lap point and have it blow up in their face and that's what happened to Red Bull. If they didn't pit Max there he blows by ham...

No kidding. Silverstone usually isn't too bad for overtaking, but just not much going on right now anywhere. McLarens looking like they'll have a good day. Feel horrible for Hulkenberg, hope he gets a good shot next weekend.

Paul Maurice thinks it was dirty. Yeah, I'd like to hope that was just some series management, take the focus and the heat of his team coaching tactic. Although I thought I read something that said they saw a different camera angle (straight down the blue line) that wasn't shown on TV that made it ...

F1 fans? British GP today. Such a wierd season this year with the crazy schedule. Actually impressive they were even able to pull off 4 races so far with no outbreak (though 1 driver tested positive this week after going home to Mexico for a family emergency during the week). I'm still finding it mo...

While I certainly don't like tkachuk, he's a dirty player, but not that kind of dirty. Seems pretty clear that he was off balance by the time he contacted Scheifele. Jets got just dominated overall other than the first 10 minutes, even though it was more or less even at 5on5 (in the sense that neith...

One more thing to clarify - The round-robin games for the top seeds that are being played to determine seeding: I wasn't planning on including those stats in the pool.

4 months in Winnipeg sounds like a nightmare.

CFL minimum salary is $65,000. That's a big ask.

Well it could have been Regina ;).
Yeah I could easily see teams in struggle to fill the roster with CFL calibre players if and when a lot of them opt out.

travzilla

Good point, what percentage of CFL players are American? Will they have to get special permission to enter the country? It's about half Americans. I think the league has negotiated with the governments for permission. The CFL though does not have nearly the resources or capability to do the kinds o...

I'm most excited for the Roth and Magary podcast to comeback, Deadcast was easily the one I got happiest about when a new episode showed up. Although I guess I just assumed it would be free. Have they said if its available for subscribers only?

Agree they did great with the arena setup. Thinking the NHL might get a lot of potential new fans tuning in. Hopefully the setup can keep them watching Also nice to see the rink ends without the netting. I wonder what the cost is of covering the seats with the quality branded tarp. I was kind of ex...

8 bubble cities, 4 teams each, play a round robin over 3 weeks and then do a bye/travel week to shuffle the teams and bubbles. Don't get greedy, do 12 games of that over 16 weeks and then a playoff bubble. The bye weeks also give flexibility when a team (the Bengals) inevitably fuck up and all get ...

Not sure why the NFL isn't looking into some sort of "bubble" with games played at particular stadiums. The newer stadiums have hotels, restaurants, etc. etc. attached. There's no reason to have to play home or away as there are no questions of ticket revenue. How many hubs would you need...

Watching Leafs-Habs. Really like with the building setup, turning the arena essentially into a giant studio. Along with the lighting and camera angles, visually it's gotten me into the hockey. Before sports came back I was definitely a fake-crowd-noise skeptic, but quickly converted. I think Aussie ...

If it's August, and It's Edmonton, then it must be NHL playoffs. The contenders have been whittled to only the most elite 77% of teams.

Jets are banking points, which confirms they have the elite talent, but their level of play has been way, way off. Been outplayed overall in almost every game so far and are getting by on goal scoring talent and a deadly power play. And the central division is of course as daunting as advertised. I ...
