BC @ WPG

Wow, that was an interesting one. It was looking like the Bombers had BC's number up until that fantastic Lions drive at the end of the first half. After that, it felt like anything could happen.

I thought the Bombers' defensive line was pretty good overall, despite giving up a couple of real big opportunities to the Lions. Streveler was a pleasant surprise - we'd have to see more, but this was a really promising start for him, especially his passing game.

Very unfortunate injuries on both sides - hopefully Oliveira and Rourke are both back in action before too long.

Lastly...any game in which a single is scored is a good one in my books (do not quote me on this).

It's overshadowed by the road games, but he did rack up two shutouts in the Dallas series.

Exile can be self-imposed. Nothing sinister intended.

Oh, I didn't think for a second that they were "given".

They actually got Rick Moranis - he really has come out of his retirement/exile.

Huh. That's an unexpectedly complicated rights package. I would have expected Disney to have distribution rights to all new franchise series, or at least first-look rights.

I mean, I think the Kurtzman era has been quite successful, but he's had the job for quite a while now. It's possible he'll choose to move on once his contract is up.

But yeah, with Paramount in such a state of upheaval...nothing surprises me any more.

Paramount+ today announced that the fan-favorite original series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been renewed for a fifth and final six-episode season ahead of the third season premiere this summer.

Huh...

Very interesting...and very light on details. Sounds like this won't see the light of day for a long time. But sure, DW kids' show, why not?

Disney not being involved is...telling.

Edit: Radio Times has a little more info:

The series will run for 26 episodes in 2027/2028 and a further 26 episodes in 2028/2029.

But just imagine the "Doug Jones walks into things" gag reel...

It looks like they've been quite the global football.

By 1995, the company was owned by Norwegian conglomerate Orkla. That year, Orkla sold a 50% stake in Helly Hansen to Resource Group International, which merged with Aker in 1996.

In 1997, Investcorp bought Aker's stake and most of Orkla's stake, resulting in its 70% ownership of Helly Hansen, which was valued at $160 million at the time.

In October 2006, Investcorp sold its shares in Helly Hansen to Altor Equity Partners, a private equity firm.

In 2012, Altor sold a 75% stake in Helly Hansen to the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.

In 2015, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan increased its position, acquiring Altor's remaining stock in the business. In May 2018, Ontario Teachers sold the company to Canadian Tire for CA$985 million.
