  1. It took me a second to see it wasn't the swear filter lol.
  2. Lions win 31-14; clinch homefield playoff game against Calgary. Butler had a monster game 24 carries for 141 yards and 3 passes for 21 yards Multiple turnovers by the Elks helped.
  3. It is strange, but a lot of chess players are rather quirky. https://chess-tournaments.com/the-curious-case-of-dewa-kipas/ The Indonesian public lapped up this story of their wronged countryman and for the next few weeks, Levy and his family were bombarded with death threats and online abuse. As a result, Levy eventually shut off his socal media and took a break from streaming. " Having faced that kind of pressure he was very careful in how he discusses the situation with Hans; his caution was not shared by Nakamura.
  4. Lions versus Edmonton starts in a few minutes.
  5. ' This was never going to be solved in one year" And it will never be solved- if nothing changes.
  6. No. Hans has admitted to online cheating, but has said he has never cheated over the board. Immediately after the game that Hans won, the timing of the event was changed so that the footage/coverage of the event started half an hour after play began. This would keep anyone from being able to 'watch' the match and somehow/someway communicate with a player, to give them moves. The only ways to cheat, after that, would be to have someone that was physically at the game room giving hints or Hans having access to a computer during a bathroom break. This will be quite a law case. It is more than just Carlsen being sued. Hikaru Nakamura, 5 time US champ, and also a guy that has over a million You Tube subscribers has said some very disparaging things regarding Hans and likely made the mistake of actually calling him a cheater- over the board. Dan Rensch-owns/ operates Chess.com- which just bought Carlsen's Web company- for about $80 mill, is also named in the suit. You Tube's largest viewed Chess page is a guy named Levi Rozman aka Gotham Chess; his multiple vids on the subject have been very balanced. A While back Levi was getting death threats from people, because Chess.com banned a fellow that Levy had just played. Thus Levy has more a controlled reaction to all the hub bub- he knows the power of words and accusations. Maybe any press is good press, but it is a very hot, contentious issue in the chess 'world'.
  7. Well, if we are going to 'argue' over things neither of us said? Counter question- Do you honestly believe the moon is made out of green cheese?
  8. Bit snarky today? Not trying anything. The team had/has a problem with cap space and the new management group has contributed.
  9. Iiirc this guy had a couple of good years, but has faded, to the point I didn't know he was still playing.
  10. JR/PA have signed Brock $6,650,000 Miller $8,000,000 Mikheyev $4,750,000 Lazar $1,000,000 Kuzmenko 850,000 Aman 883,750 $22,133,750 of money you can take $2,750,000 of, as Miller's deal kicks in next year for a total of $19,383,750 of cap space. So cap space is not, entirely, a JB problem, anymore.
  11. Ok, then perhaps Magnus can explain this statement, and explain why it doesn't contradict, his decision to not defend his World Champion Title again Jain Nepomichi?
