What happened?

The new cottage industry for journalists is writing books about Trump. These so called expose and politically sanctimonious books become a surefire bestseller and a profitable venture. Previous to this but still viable as a money maker are the so-called researchers who have come up with a myriad of conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination.  How many thousands of books have been written about the whodunit  JFK assassination and the accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. Does anyone really care about this after 60 years to write a new book without a profit motive being involved. Athletes sell their memorabilia to leave to their grandkids, witnesses and researchers of the JFK assassination seem to write books to pad their retirement account. Which brings us to Paul Landis and his new revelations after 60 years. Seriously. 60 years.

The Jets squeezed the most out of the kings being put in an impossible negotiating position. PLD got the money

What was Caufield thinking taking a pic of Dubois during the formula 1 weekend and posting it on his instagram. Many were wondering if Caufield had inside info. Dubois has been the most recent cause celebre in the quebecois hockey minefield. Will the habs sign and trade for the most recent local enfant terrible? PLD has himself caused some of the recent migraines for Gorton and Hughes by proclaiming his first preference is to play in his hometown. His agent Pat Brisson has added to the migraine by shrewdly stating PLD wants a long term contract at 9 million per annum. So is PLD worth it? He has shown signs of becoming a top notch center. His offence is steadily improving though of course nowhere near the superstar stats of Mcdavid, Matthews, and MacKinnon. Speaking of Mcdavid and Matthews, PLD played a major playoff role with Columbus when they eliminated the leafs and also was important  when Winnipeg eliminated the Oilers. One could say PLD played like a young Ryan O’Reilly. However,
