News Article: Lebreton...Interesting...NCC

agreed - he's not jaundiced, doesn't act encephalopathic, doesn't look like he's had steroids (treatment for rejection). Maybe a bit catabolic but par for the course for age and his morbidity. Don't think the eye test matches him being in dire straits at all.

If I send you a pic of a weird freckle can you tell me if I am going to die or not?

In that clip his voice sounded very frail like someone going through kemo or something.

im not getting my hopes up for a downtown arena or change of ownership anymore, the only hope I have is when I google how old melnyk is every other month.

No brah not my area.

What is cool though is that there is AI in development to determine if moles are malignant or not. I thought that was dope.

 

[swiftwin]

He looks like he's in his 70s. For example, he's just 2 years old than Pierre McGuire.

Are you a liver guy? My pup got spayed a few months ago and she had high ALT numbers (190 something when its supposed to be around 118)...going back tommorow for a bile test.

To me this looks like within normal on the eye test for someone on rejection meds progressing from their late 50s into their 60s. But admittedly hard to tell from pics and videos. Hope the dude is ok.

 

[Daffy]

Any of our board insiders here have any juicy rumours on a sale? Lol

he looks far worse this year the few times I’ve seen him. Who knows maybe it was lighting or he had some bad seafood.

I think folks should hold off on the health speculation. Seems unnecessarily cruel, especially if it's true. I hope he's not truly ill.

That being said, it would be great news if the team was sold to an entity with pockets deep enough to build a downtown arena and turn the franchise around.

But he looked even worse between those 2 dates.

These threads about a possible sale or new arena are always entertaining!

I agree to an extent. Speculation is okay I think, but wishing for it or talking about it in a nefarious manner is uncalled for.

That said, the public plea using quasi celebrity status was a controversial means of securing a donor as he himself admitted, so some may not feel like he deserves the same grace.

It's been decades since I lived in Ottawa. Is there an LRT stop near LeBreton Flats?

Man!!! That looks like a 54 year old in 2014 and a 71 year old in 2020, not 61. Wahh!!! My partner is 69 and is dealing with her 3rd cancer fight and maybe, its my rose coloured eyes, but she seems way healthier. And her laundry list of medical issues keep a whole army of health care providers busy.

Wow..

 

[Korpse]

Literally "source: trust me bro"

but I still wanna believe

There's probably some truth to it. Certainly doesn't mean it will be happen but it wouldn't be surprising.

There will be one. Whether or not it'll be 100% fully functioning is another story

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Not surprised that one reporter outside the city is able to come in for one day and get reports that he’s looking to sell, and not a single media member from the city is able to report the same thing. I am assuming they scared as shit.

 

[coladin]

I have seen death, whether the deterioration from cancer or other diseases, through my father, uncles, aunts...that clip when Brady was made captain, for a 62 year old, looks very, very bad. And very suspicious.

 

[SensFactor]

I think this time it might be real folks...new arena downtown and a billionaire new owner from Ottawa ?

His daughters want aboslutely nothing to do with the headaches of the franchise, and I think Melnyk sees the writing on the wall. I really think there are teeth to this, but not that I have heard anything specific

 

[Daffy]

My biggest question is if its an out of town buyer, are they buying the team to move it?
