Best to keep in mind there are many wonderful cities and places to live and visit why spend on second on place and people you hate.

To be fair I think almost every big city smells awful at times of the day. I love Manhattan and it can be horrid. 12 hours ago, K-9 said: NBC isn’t a major network? I'm pretty sure no one else is bidding. ABC was done with it when the last lock out screwed all television partners over. It was only on something like score or the outdoors network for years. CBS and fox have shown no interest. If NBCSN didn't exist I don't think NBC would be interested. Have you seen the skiing that NBC airs on some sundays? I'm sure that crap sport has a ton of interest also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your equivocation that none of the major networks would invest in it notwithstanding, perhaps you should read the attached Forbes article on the subject. A short quote from the article: Quote In 2011, ABC/ESPN, Fox and Turner all made unsuccessful bids for the NHL package. Fox did indeed show interest previously. And you need to revisit your claim about ABC being done with it as well. NBC won the rights in 2011 for 10 years so ABC was in no position to be “done with it” when the last lockout occurred in 2012-2013. Not a a fan of skiing unless it’s during the Olympics. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradadgate/2019/01/15/hockeys-big-pay-day-is-coming/#1b303fbe4e44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't even thinking 2012. They've been getting buried on ESPN since 05. That was the lockout I was referring to. But whatever, you're right. Networks are clamoring to cover the crapley cup.

We were shocked that Toronto was so dirty. Much worse than Chicago. Lots of garbage blowing around. Maybe we just picked a bad day. Did touristy things like CN Tower, etc... It did smell like poo too. Again, we were shocked. Maybe it's the ravines. Toronto is geographically San Francisco turned inside out. Maybe that's the collecting points, the ravines.
