The folks at Winnipeg Sports Talk had a somewhat (okay, much) more cynical take, largely based on the fact that Maurice has participated in handshake lines as recently as last year, is known for being good in front of the media, and managed to talk about how this is all about the players for a solid two minutes.
Their take, not mine. I've got a lot of affection for PoMo, but admittedly that is precisely because he's so good in front of a microphone.
Captain or no, I don't think there's any evidence that he had any knowledge of what was going on, is there?
Chevy is much more heavily implicated in that mess, even though he was found to have been "not responsible for the improper decisions made by the Chicago Blackhawks".

“[The Rani's] brilliant, she’s unapologetic, and she’s totally out of sync with any moral compass.”
“She’s a wild force. She’ll burn anyone or anything to get what she wants, dancing with chaos like it’s her birthright.”
I'm liking what I'm hearing here.
I have to admit, I had suspected that we might not actually see Omega - or it would be a menacing cameo like Timothy Dalton's Rassilon - but it sounds like that might not be the case.
I think that's the general idea according to CentrePlan 2050, but I'm also a little unclear as to whether the entire stretch will be pedestrians/active transportation-only.
Oh good, WPG/SSK is exclusive to CFL+ again. If last week is any indication, I look forward to reading about it after the fact.
I haven't been a regular transit user for a long time, but I hope this transition goes smoothly. Large-scale changes rarely do...
The improvement in quality, from the script to the overall production values, is stunning.
The tauntaun has left the nest.
Roughriders @ Bombers
I actually tried to stream this one, but the CFL website was having none of it, so I...didn't. And absolutely no one seems willing to put together a highlight reel.
Based on what I've read, it sounds like it went...fine? I'm glad the Bombers played Collaros - it's good for him to get some reps, especially with the upcoming one-game suspension. It sounds like the game itself might have been a bit of a snoozer, but that's preseason for you.
I didn't realize there were people who stopped thinking about Dugga Doo.
