I would watch 1000 losing Reinbold seasons before I watched a repeat of that shameful Burke turtle game.

We should move this thread over to the RIP 2021 thread.

Gotta say this doesn't shock me because they didn't let anyone know what the plan was for this year. Sucks for everyone if they can't get a season in, but the pandemic takes precedence over everything. Canada can't have 4 super spreader events a week. Maybe rapid testing at the door is an answer. Maybe only people who have been vaccinated (Vaccination cards?). Maybe 25% occupancy and masks for social distancing. Maybe all of the above.

Remember debating which was worse Reinbold in 97 or 98 or 2013 with Burke? Glad we are past those days.

It must be killing Trump not to be able to tweet and get on tv atm but as soon as he is acquitted you can be sure that former VP Hannity will be down in Florida and let Trump open his pie hole to start all this garbage all over again

Banana Republic. The terrorists are on the jury. It's a joke.

In other news

Relax seesh

Here is a clip... its pretty cringe...

Even worse than that, he took Rory Kohlert in the final round of the draft (a pending free agent with a handshake deal to return to Winnipeg) then went infront of the press and explained there was no-one else worth picking and he wouldn't have selected anyone from the Blue if he didn't have to. So he insulted us and Rory by saying he'd rather have had nothing at all than a chance to negotiate with a reliable N receiver. 2013 was my Nam. I have PTSD flashbacks every time I see someone straighten their tie

Good 'ol Sleepy Joe Mack's final season thank christ. Left us with one last awesome draft class. What a doozy too. Had to go out with one final bang. Clueless Jackass. Round Pick Player Position School/Club Team 1 2 Andy Mulumba DE Eastern Michigan 2 11 Kristopher Robertson DB Concordia 3 20 Carl Fitzgerald WR Saint Mary's 4 29 Michael DiCroce WR McMaster 6 46 Stephen Alli WR Florida 7 54 Billy Pavopoulos PK British Columbia Can you say barf?

And people jumped on me because I said it was bullshit that having no plan to play without fans in the stands was a severe lack of effort on the CFLs part. **** you Randy Ambrosie. I swear to God if you kill the CFL on me.... And that whole line about guarantee packed stadiums..... how stupid are they? Out of sight out of mind. People will move on with 2 canceled seasons.

No matter how much Trumps's lawyers half assed it they will win and Trump will be acquitted, sending all his supporters into a frenzy when he goes on TV and claims that he is the rightful POTUS, what a mess

We should have got a point out of it. But you know Ottawa was due for a break. They got it today. I blame it on those aviator Jerseys.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The Dems “negotiated” a deal where McCarthy’s assistant’s statement about the Trump call goes into the record without subpoenaing her. Their fear was that the Republicans would stonewall the confirmation process for Biden’s appointments so they short-circuited this process to supposedly leverage more bipartisanship in that area. The insanity is thinking that the GOP won’t go back on their word and be obstructionist when that comes up later. Like Charlie Brown believing Lucy REALLY REALLY won’t pull away the football this time. GOP may have no morals of conscience, but Dems have no guts or conviction.

Weak. Theatrics. Disingenuous. Self-Serving. Posers. The whole lot of them.

Ah yes...there sure have been some bombs coaching this club ....and horrendous GM's BUT I always reflected back to the Bud Grant years to get the bad taste out of my mouth...We were something else and one helluva feared club... For example ,can't remember the name of the player, but in a game in saskabush he was quoted as saying in the dressing room before the game, 'how much do we want to beat these yokels by tonight'...We were that good ...a little arrogant,yes but you had to be damn good to be that way...We were spoiled in those days of Ploen and Lewis and guys like Herb Gray and the Cup years just kept on rollin' in.....THEN, when Bud left for the Vikes, it all went bad...I'm old enough to remember those great old days and for you young guys I wished you could experience some of that feeling of that era...One thing I did notice and got a great kick out of was our 2019 Cup win and that parade with Streve and the guys just having fun... Now picture that celebration ,in an era when we put together that type of atmosphere , a bunch of years in a row, and you'll get the feeling that we had back then...I hope we can do it again

This was always baked in Trump will have his day to crow, most wont pay any attention to him, let the States go after him and his enablers criminally as the GOP and most of the Republicans Senators are power hungry cowards

No witnesses. Trial over. Closing arguments coming. Remember when the US is out there threatening other countries that they are a pathetic lot.

In plain sight for us all to see. Democrats not pushing for action by hammering on this constantly not calling out certain GOP senators on a daily basis tells us there are things that go on behind the scenes between these two parties that are immoral sneaky smarmy and maybe even criminal. At the end of the day outraged words seem more theatre if no consequences are attached to the guilty parties.

Their 2012 draft picks are equally awful if not for their last pick and longest serving Bomber fatboi Thomas Tyson Pencer, Johnny Aprille, Christo Bilukidi, Rene Stephan

Meanwhile in guinea pig news... https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/moderna-wants-to-pack-50-per-cent-more-vaccine-per-vial-1.5307717

Agreed, he is all about the faux outrage.

This guy is an ambulance chaser, and sure loves the theatrics.

So the managers want to subpoena a witness, Trump lawyer starts the dramatics.

Fauci says it will be 'open season' for COVID-19 vaccine by April On Thursday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, delivered hopeful news about vaccine availability and the country's lagging roll-out. On NBC's "Today" show, echoing remarks from earlier in the day, Fauci said there could be an "open season" on available vaccine doses by April. "By the time we get to April, that will be what I would call, for better wording, 'open season,' namely, virtually everybody and anybody in any category could start to get vaccinated," Fauci said. "From then on, it would likely take several more months just logistically to get the vaccine into people's arms, so that hopefully as we get into the middle and end of the summer, we could have accomplished the goal of what we're talking about — namely the overwhelming majority of people in this country having gotten vaccinated." (Good news as two more vaccines have applied for approval)

Oh, there's certainly a ready supply of insanity, this whole thing has been mostly by guess and by God.

And adjust their cuff links.

They could put a ******* potato on the podium stare at it for 1 hour... and would still ******* acquit cheetolini All those people say that they are cowards are dead wrong, these gross shameless husks of perverse meatsacks are shameless and brazen to the point they don't give a **** about optics or laws... because there is no accountability for any of their indiscretions, no matter how grievous or heinous they are... the USA is truly ******... once trump 2.0 rolls in... that "cherished" democratic republic is gone... the sad thing is... there is 46% of that population that doesn't give a ****. God I hope I'm wrong.

I don't want to think about that.

^NSFW

Absolutely.

So many absolute gong shows. The horrible '05 defense, after Rod Rust left the DC position (shudder). The irony - that was actually one of KG5's better years, and Milt was still Milt.

This is something that has not yet been determined for the Covid vaccine - some vaccines do work that way. In any case, the majority of cases come from contact with asymptomatic individuals.

Bullshit. Get it done. "Take the year to plan for 2022 and get it right so you can have a focused format for years to come" Why not just make it an even 2025 then? They've had plenty of time to plan. That's what the last 10 months have been for

Fogg got torched. He made the occasional big play and made some good returns but on a full-time basis? no way.

Toronto Argonauts crowds have be practicing social distancing for years on end so they should have no problems when the season starts

Be nice to Fogg, its his birthday.

Yeah solid back-up for an in-game issue....and not messing up other aspects of our ratio in game...cant go wrong there, and if he has to play a game or 2 behind our line..again..no issues there and doesn't disrupt the apple cart. I have trained with and seen Oliveira training...no issues with his ankle and if anything is now in better shape than start of 2019 season...again...solid depth ans starter capable

He's still a POS.

I don't really want any part of Loffler's injury history....Muamba, I don't want any part of his attitude..... I think we're mostly set with what we have right now.

To paraphrase Comic Book Guy: Worst off-season ever.

It's better than sex because this might actually happen in 2021.

I didn't know Gabe could still attend

PLD not playing today

57 GOP State And Local Officials Were At The Capitol Insurrection At least 57 state and local Republican officials attended the Jan. 6 rally in Washington that turned into a deadly insurrection, according to an updated HuffPost tally. Almost all of them are resisting calls to resign. They traveled from 27 states for the “Stop the Steal” demonstration near the White House. A couple of officials even gave speeches, warming up the crowd for then-President Donald Trump, who took the stage and regurgitated lies about the election results before instructing the “Make America Great Again” mob to march on the U.S. Capitol. Late last month, after identifying an initial 21 state and local GOP officials at the rally — among them a QAnon conspiracy theorist, a self-described member of a far-right militia and a man who once declared that “the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat” — HuffPost received emails from readers across the country identifying the additional 36 officials in this new tally. Some of the reader emails were urgent — “PLEASE, PLEASE REVISE YOUR ARTICLE TO REFLECT THESE INSURGENT SEDITIONISTS PLEASE!” read one — underscoring how communities across the country are still grappling with the fallout from the siege of the U.S. Capitol. Many are hoping that these officials will somehow face consequences for their actions. Nearly all 57 are facing calls to resign. Yet only two men, both of whom were arrested for their role in the riot — a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates and a secretary of the California Republican Assembly — have actually stepped down. Elsewhere, a Virginia state senator was censured and stripped of committee assignments. Two other censure attempts — of a city councilwoman and a school board member in California — were voted down. In Texas, a Pizzagate-conspiracy-theory-believing field organizer was fired. In most cases, the GOP officials have brushed aside calls to resign. “For a call to go out seeking my resignation is beyond the pale and reeks of cancel culture,” said Rob Socha, a city councilman in Hillsdale, Michigan. (Incidentally, at least four of the 57 GOP officials invoked “cancel culture” or being “canceled” while dismissing calls that they step down.) 57 GOP State And Local Officials Were At The Capitol Insurrection | HuffPost Canada (huffingtonpost.ca)

Jeff Reinbold's teams were bad but they never gave up even though they got hammered. Neither did Reinbold. As to what was the worst Blue Bomber team ever??? Well 2013 would get my nod as the worst Blue Bomber team ever & I lived thru the terrible Joe Zaleski years in the late 60's after Bud Grant left. That 2013 Bomber team was indeed special in the wrong way. It may have been among the worst if not the worst team ever fielded in the CFL. It went 3-15 including a 53-17 loss at home to the BC Lions on September 27th. QB Jason Boltus went 8 of 25 for 91 yards that night for no touchdowns & 3 interceptions with a QB Rating of 4.3. His performance was so bad that it became memorable. No one thought a qb could actually play that badly. Yet he did. Head Coach Tim Burke was so in over his head, that he sank farther than the deepest part of the Marianas Trench. Then we had Sleepy Joe Mack as GM. Marcel Desjardins only drafted 6 Blue Bombers in the 2014 Ottawa expansion draft instead of 7. He didn't want any more of our players as he didn't think any of them could make the team. . The 2013 Blue Bomber QB Class: Left to Right: Jason Boltus #16, Max Hall #15 & Justin Goltz #18. No idea who #6 is...

These guys have had a year to figure this out but it looks like they didn't & learned nothing by missing the season. For Ambrosie to come out in December & lie to us that the season will take place makes me so angry. They had no plan. They sat on their asses & are still wanting government money in the form of a loan.

😭😭😭
