Can someone explain what was so wrong with the OT rules when the #chiefs played the #dolphins in 1971? #NFLPlayoffs

@AinsleyInc @MJForbes @chbmeredith @RobertNoce @iamterryevans The kick by Leroy Chahley (a one time Chief of Police, and at the time a west end city councillor) was so hard, it lifted Mayor Mel off the ground. #yegcc

@TSNDaveNaylor @elks @TorontoArgos .@SportsnetSpec @Dave_CHED @byterryjones Does the phrase “Monday Morning Magic” ring a bell? #elks #cfl

The ability of Brian Williams to catch every little detail was astonishing. I interned at CKFH in 1980. The gold medal game in the "Miracle on Ice" was on in the newsroom. Brian, on a postgame celebration close up of Jim Craig, was able to lip read "where's my father?"

[Scott Johnston @ScottInYEG]

So many tweets on here about how kind and nice he was. I interviewed him when he was in #yeg as owner of the @TorontoArgos and he stuck out his hand “hi, John Candy” as if I didn’t know who he was. Super talent. Super funny. Super individual.

[Scott Johnston @ScottInYEG]

Do they need to revert back to the Norm Kimball/Dave Williams model? Since I suspect that not only have they turned off fans, they’ve ticked off sponsors (providers of significant revenue) as well. #CFL

[Dave Jamieson @thedavejamieson]

To anyone shocked by the clear cut of @elks mgmt this org fired Tom Higgins after two straight trips to #Grey Cup,winning ‘03 & a loss in ‘04 semi. The message then was “can’t market him to our fans”. Same rules apply in 2021. #CFL

Extremely concerned tonight to learn of the arrest of my friend and colleague @photobracken, who I know to be one of the most ethical, responsible and fearless journalists in the business.
I worry about her as a friend, and also for what this means about press freedom in Canada.

[The Narwhal @thenarwhalca]

We strongly condemn this behaviour by the RCMP, who were informed @photobracken was on assignment for The Narwhal. Amber also carried a formal letter of assignment with her.

@hockey_samurai @Lowetide My childhood idol. I met him as GM of the @WCapitols

[Scott Johnston @ScottInYEG]

@davidakin @IvisonJ @paulvieira I thought he phoned in to @charlesadler show which was in the afternoons then, and carried on @630CHED and other Corus stations in the west

@sunhornby The @EarthWindFire concert where mid-set they killed the sound and the lights on the opening act, a local comedian as he was booed off stage. ( @howiemandel )

[Scott Johnston @ScottInYEG]

@byterryjones Is there definitive word on who is running game day ops? The regular personnel who handle CFL games--or a bunch of newbies who were recruited by soccer administrators? #disasterwaitingtohappen

[Janice Johnston @cbcjanjohnston]

Ah-MAZING!!! Last in person concert before the pandemic hit. #LasVegas March 2020. When all this is over I so want to watch @BrunoMars in person again . What a talent!

[Scott Johnston @ScottInYEG]

@kdawson70 @JockCartier There was a Canada/Iran game a few years ago I covered where it was halftime, people were still waiting to get in. And that was before all of these safety protocols. My advice is to get there at least 90 minutes prior to kick off because I anticipate it'll be badly managed #yeg

[Scott Johnston @ScottInYEG]

@kdawson70 Paging @carolyndunncbc

My pleasure Ryan. I’m sure there are plenty of other campaigns across the city that could donate one-sided coroplast sheets now that the #yegvote #yegcc election is over. #aviationmuseum #yeg #reuse
