Did this dude just forget the english words to the Canadian anthem and switch to French for a bit, or is that norma


Normal they're interchangeable

But he absolutely fricking butchered both the french and English part.


fricking went on a stanza about wood if you're to translate a part of his french edition

I'm fine with ND getting in


They're going to have two wins against ranked teams (navy/USC)

Their schedule is trash and who they've beaten is even worse.

I do hope that it's UVA that gets screwed because they're trash

The reality is, Canadian cities aren't large, and Montreal is an entirely different country than Toronto, let alone, say, DC or New York. I'm a longtime NHL fan, and the Canadian cities are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to keeping talent or even generating enough revenue to make a go of it. I could be wrong, but I think Canada has the worst economy in the G7, and it's not particularly close



The Montreal metro is 4 million, the Toronto metro is 6 and the TV market is 9

Rodgers basically gets free programming along with a team that prints money so it's an incredible deal for them. The current Rodgers that owns them is also a baseball fan so that helps.

The NHL is a different story the Canadian TV deal keeps the league solvent yet the leagues cap hurts them due to the tax issue especially since the majority of them are the high earning teams. 5/7 teams made the playoffs as well


Quebec is a high tax bullshite province that doesn't help it's cause in these matters however. The Habs can get away with it because they're owned by the Molson Coors guy and are the most historic franchise in the league
quote:

You have your English speaking areas close to the border w/New York/Vermont that were an hour's drive from Montreal. But your larger point is valid


The majority of downtown Montreal and everything from Montreal west to Ontario is English speaking.

The divide happens when you go east.

Until 1996 they were middle bottom to attendance then the bottom fell out


I would say the main reasons they moved.

1) Olympic stadium was an absolute shithole and was so far away from everything that it was the equivalent of putting a stadium in Hahnville


2) 1994/1995 first was the strike and was their year to win it. Second was the Quebec referendum where the province came within 100k votes of leaving Canada (the real reason they ended up leaving which will absolutely not be brought up in the doc) this tanked the dollar and caused a lot of English corporations to move to Toronto.


3) because of two they had massive sell offs in the mid 90s then sold too Jeffrey Lauria who was basically there to move the team. They were the pirates before the pirates. Those early 2000s teams with vladdy and rondelle white should have been way better

4) they never had a national tv deal like the jays. The jays after they left are on tv everywhere in Canada now the expos you could rarely watch in English and honestly the French tv was spotty


5) the government of Quebec was never going to help with a stadium in a better location

Their turf was also horrific. It was the thinist shite ever you could feel sewer grates under etc
The "University of Louisiana" being the 6th best academic school in the state is pretty hilarious
Hard to have a lot of growth when the fed is artificially keeping rates high.

What are the odds this was another tranny

That was probably Emory Jones


It was 2 each according to the broadcast
Bills oline is significantly better.

Burrow is going to get vaporized by the ravens front

They are ULL and no matter how they try to market it . I also agree that USL and NLU were better names for these schools . They try too hard to be something they are not .



I don't think NLU ever wanted to change their name. They were basically forced into it

They didn’t accept tickets from stubhub via the phone app. Made folks buy full price. 30.00 each for a shitshow


Wait you bought second hand ones and they refused to scan them?
The new thing is to increase the number of deaths needed to be a mass shooting while also adding gang shootings to the number to drive the percentage down

Ironically those shootings aren't taken into account when talking about how unsafe cities are. Massaging data to fit their narratives
I wouldn't feel too bad at least spending all that money on a stadium helped you draw 1000 less then last year's opener.

Great use of money

Is ULM keeping their program?


Tax payers of Louisiana aren't getting much of a return on our investment for funding your 10 mill a year athletic debt and boondoggle stadium. If you're going to steal our tax money and have the inability to balance a budget you should probably not embarrass the state
Nico fricking sucks

Big win for Tennessee that he tried to leverage them for more money
