People, I think, are blowing the scene out of proportion...

But he's in a Borat movie... so yes he's (frank)ing stupid by virtue of getting caught up in a Borat movie
- TheMussel

There have only been about 3 people who have come out of any Borat interaction (show/movies) not looking at least semi-moronic and one was cut from the film because he kicked the poop out of Baron Cohen and they needed the team to step in to save him.

This.

Not playing would cause more losses than playing.

Every other professional league is playing. They are playing all over Europe.

What is the NHL going to do? Fold like a cheap tent? And be the only major league in NA to do so?

The pessimists will scream this out until puck drops, they did it with baseball, the NFL, the bubbles for the NBA and NHL. Grabbing at straws saying NBA players are going to bring in hookers and it would be catastrophic.

There is a strong possibility we see hockey this winter. The pessimists will be against it until it happens and that is okay.

Call me a moderate ...I fully expect them to piece something together but I also expect it to be awkward/creative due primarily to the border issues - even with quick screening/testing.

rudy giuliani is one stupid mother(frank)er
- BINGO!

He let wife #2 know he was divorcing her and involved with someone else at a news conference. His son got kicked off Duke’s golf team but Rudy got him a cushy job as “Sports Liaison Officer” in the White House. His daughter is a filmmaker working for Biden.

We are absolutely blowing it out of proportion - it's a conscious decision.

When a guy has no hesitation to lie and slander people - well, here's a whopping dose of your own medicine.

I mean yeah she sure is, but I meant for ending up in that situation at all.
- BINGO!

Man, I fully expect that I'd act the exact same way when I'm a fat goofy looking 74 old man and some super-hot 20-something woman is flirting with me.

I'd have needed some Kleenex even before Cohen broke in.

Don't misunderstand me Guliani is a (frank)-tard but I can't blame that old (frank) for getting excited. He should have laughed it off rather than get so defensive.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with that at all. It's 100% a political hit job (as Trump likes to call it) and I'm fine with that because Giuliani is a piece of trash...

All I'm saying is that people who unequivocally say that Giuliani is jerking off haven't watched the scene. It's pretty evident that he's tucking his shirt in, and probably lying down while doing it because he looks like he had half a bottle of scotch.

Nobody knows until we see where the pandemic goes. If it continues to worsen, they certainly won’t be able to play in front of fans and the finances of how they do play are difficult to determine. I expect some form of season in a bubble setting but it’s really hard to know right now.

Uggh ...major letdown.

I haven't seen it yet. But, even if he was starting to handle the goods ...can't blame him.

I wonder if they can plan a 48 game season - first half only your division, second half two options: stay in division, go outside division.

Fans might not like buying tickets without knowing the opponent, but these are strange times.

I'd be surprised but I am not ruling it out

I think every step we've taken in sports, fans have expected the worst and they've been wrong every time

For me I will just wait to see what happens but I am fully expecting hockey, Id be shocked if there wasn't a season.

It’s a movie that works because it plays on social and political hypocrisy. They were trying to get Pence. That was the joke. They punk alt righters by out Nazi’ing them. Rudy was hoping to get laid and they made him look like a stupid old horny man. I don’t think he was jerking off either. He just looks pathetic and that’s enough

If it distracts people from Biden's remarks that he wants to get rid of the oil and gas industry, what the heck, let's just keep talking about Rudy.

What a giant franking fumble - two minutes from the end of the franking debate.

The oil and gas industry is slowly dying on it's own anyway. No need for the extra push.

Overdrive guys were discussing this exactly. With the Canadian Division for the first half and the second half hoping borders are open to play other opponents.

It's kind of fun to see so many national security breaches happen on film with so little effort.

The worst is no season. The best would a season with fans. I don’t think that’s realistic and I don’t see how travelling around the country playing in empty arenas makes sense. If there’s no fans, I think they’re better off in a few spots, playing in bubbles. Either way, I don’t think fans are possible for 12 months or so.

I think it was during Da Ali G Show. Some British guy figured out something was going on and started punching.

US intelligence has already concluded he’s being worked by a Russian operative to push the Hunter Biden stuff. But yeah, a couple of actors with bad fake accents......

Ya I think it can be done but the players will have some tough decisions.

This idea that was floated that they'd never agree to bubble may not be realistic.

They had to escape from the "Straight Dave" fighting event in BRUNO too.

I think they would agree to it, have to hope that come 2021, we'll be a little closer to a vaccine and have rapid testing available everywhere. Even if it was in a bubble (host cities) again

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Talladega Nights yet.

I guess in the scene where they called the hotel manager after waking up chained to the bed in BDSM gear the hotel manager called the cops on them and Baron Cohen broke his ankle jumping out a window.
