It's probably a glitch.

But I did see a theory the other day that Trump should step down and allow Pence to become President. Pence would then (unfortunately) pardon Trump.

Pence is then the president for a week or so and gets secret service protection for life (I guess VPs don't get that). Which would be a great benefit to him given he was a target on Wednesday.

Nope, Tavares is still captain

I sincerely doubt that Pence pardons him now.

He did try to incite a mob to kill him.

No, really.

- Atomic Wedgie


I agree.

But if I was Pence - I'm looking to become president by the 20th to get that lifetime protection (assuming that is actually the way it works).

25th amendment could fail and you end up putting an even bigger target on your back. Working a deal with Trump would be the only way you guarantee you are president.

I obviously don't want Trump to be pardoned by the way - just saw the theory and thought it was interesting.

Pence could forgive him. It’s not like he’s a fetus or anything

I’d be shocked if you don’t get lifetime protection as VP. You might get the 2nd PK team but there’s no way they leave you to dry.

This is weird. No announcements. Pence would have to resign first but Trump is in such legal trouble it is possible.

Just the theory I saw. - No idea if it is even plausible.

Google led me to this article.

Looks like Biden wasn't granted extended protection after leaving VP office.

Jays talks with LeMahieu have picked up.
Probably will end up as second behind whoever signs him

We'll see.

I am 95% sure he wants to go back to yanks, and its just trying to squeeze out as much money as he can before he signs with them

That’s bizarre that VPs don’t get it. Pence is going to need it after only being 100% loyal to Trump for 3 years and 359 days and then having the gall to reading the (frank)ing constitution.

The other thing is that his career is pretty much done. You can’t go anywhere in the Republican Party after crossing Donnie.

Nonsense.

He can still go on to have an illustrious post-VP career like J. Danforth Quayle.

Sam Morin is on waivers. i thought he was a guy Philly fans kept trying to trade

Oh...I just thought it was because he was bad. When he first started he would make comments about other GM’s bad decisions.
*Gasp* WTF!! Really?! Coming from you?

Burkie must have been chomping at the bit hoping Morin would fall to them. Settled for the other 6’6” stud, the Goatman. I think Guentzle went a few rounds later...lol. Memories...

Bettman says "it's possible" there will be 5-6 teams that can have fans to start the season. He adds "maybe Pittsburgh." Daly says NAS & CBJ might be able to, as well.

So far, FLA, DAL & AZ will have fans to start the season. St. Louis will have a max of 300 spectators.

@TheFourthPeriod
Bettman says gate revenue generated "directly and indirectly, is somewhere 50% of our revenue." Says this includes ticket sales, suites, parking, etc. He adds the loss this season starts with a B(illion).

Feel very fortunate, i think the Canada roll out is decent, not at the top, but current government ordered lots of vaccines - won't be that long.

Yeah I personally ordered 400 trilion vaccines.

Is that helping.
