I am open to listening and considering the argument against government mandate (at least as it relates to Canadian citizens). But in this particular situation, passengers were also wilfully violating the rules of the airline on it's private property (having accepted the terms of service in...

I agree that if he really felt strongly about it and wanted to make a point, he should have boycotted the event on his own end before it came this. However, one does not win 20 titles at anything without having a competitive drive which would not settle for walking away without at least...

Who cheated though? It was the Australians themselves who issued the supposedly invalid visa in the first place. The most charitable explanation is that the national, regional and tournament officials where inexplicably dealing with different sets of standards. The more troubling...

It's a tropical resort town, surely many ways to hustle some fast cash. There are probably quite a few pot-bellied middle-aged movie producers and financial execs with private villas who could find use for stranded millennials ... that would have been another good life lesson.

Would have been a good life lesson if they were just left in Mexico long enough for their bratty attitudes to run afoul of some local thug-ristocrat and then have to empty their own and their families' bank accounts to get ransomed

One can only hope that planes will be completely automated and crewless before any of this hopeless generation of cadets becomes accredited. <facepalm>

Logical pic is Fury but Wilder always has a puncher's chance. Wilder has played this better than he initially thought by legally dragging Fury away from the unification fight with Joshua. Fury will no doubt be pissed - feeling that it should have been him taking Joshua's belt - that fight...

Exactly, they were the ones tossing the ball away with turnovers and air balls, they needed a break in the momentum and once they got it they settled back down and rallied while the Raptors went cold. Leonard didn't look gassed to me I don't see what the commentator was talking about, he's...

Got home at Halftime and decided to watch the rest of the game. Now I haven't watched much basketball in recent years so maybe my memory is flawed or some changes in the game passed me by but ... that was some of the SOFTEST professional men's basketball I've seen in a very long time. One...

Not necessarily so. That "math" presumes all tams have an equal chance of winning each year which is only true in theory. It was easier for the CANADIENS to stack a bunch of Stanley Cups in the 6-team NHL. Not so much for other teams. Although mathematically they had a much greater chance...

I'm sorry to hear the Islanders went out. I was kind of nostalgic about seeing them deep in the playoffs. I didn't even get a chance to see one of their games. Interesting how the Islanders and BlueJackets came back from their sweep layoff differently. Did the Islanders just lose momentum or...

I don;t really think that applied in the 80's & early 90's, almost every team had a few nasty players in the lineup, but the Bruins were basically defined by guys like Borque, Middleton, Pederson, McNabb, Thelven, Kasper nobody remotely dirty or intimidating there.

Big effort, though tonight helped by 3 terribly soft goals. Could be another one like 2002-03 when the high ranked RedWings, Stars, Canucks & Blues all went out early and Aneheim went to the finals.

The last 10 minutes and OT were a more than a game's worth of dama and energy by themselves. I didn't agree with the penalty. To me it was a 2 minute cross-checking penalty (although the exact same play happens hundreds of times with no penalty at all) and 99.9% of the time the only outcome...

It was a poor game but not at all in the way I was afraid of. They were too patient and indecisive with their attacks. The shot desparity in the first two periods wasn't entirely reflective of the run of play. The Leafs just seemed to be a little indecisive, overthinking, always looking for...
