Two tier medicine? No thanks. This is what this gov't wanted - cut resources, then say they can't keep up... voila! Two tier medicine.

They just need a free pancake breakfast and you would have a lineup blocks long

Part of every season is **** talking about the melonheads?

1. Fajardo is the MOP favourite? Did BLM, Reiley, Trevor Harris, Andrew Harris, Vernon Adams and Massoli all die? 2. A guy who threw 3ints and no TDs had an impressive rookie year?

....11 days to TC!! Our Man Tait gets us going with a Special Teams preview: https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/06/29/positional-preview-specialists-4/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&fbclid=IwAR1aPLPSnTVlP3Z7oeUsb-s-WIr8BBs34CEZozj1OwwscwcaWJwgx2pq4xI

I found this and thought I would quote you as you touched upon it before:

Religion will kill you and take your money.

No difference. People who refuse to get vaccinated because of laziness or because they believe nonsense and think that everyone else can just protect them can go **** themselves and they deserve the ridicule.

For the Riders, yes.

The new-look Rider OL:

Vaccines are free...

when I worked in Winkler, our annual "Customer Appreciation" Free Hotdog BBQ thing we did every June was bonkers. Lines seemingly endless and never ending...I'll never forget that. If something is free, they come out in droves...

Hamiltons piece reads as though he glanced over the cliff notes from the 2019 season for 5 minutes before writing said article.

I can't even begin to tell you how angry this list makes me.....despite how wholly unsurprising it is..........

Exactly. Immunizations does not absolutely guarantee that you will not get sick from all of the variants, it means that if you do contract it/them, you will not become deathly ill, and will probably not need to be hospitalized. I cannot recall the exact number of where I read it, but I seem to recall that in the USA, there have been fewer than a dozen deaths of people who were double-vaccinated and had passed the two week post-vaccination period. I suspect that any double-dosers who do become quite ill will have underlying health issues like type1 diabetes or other compromised immune system issues.

that's cool and all but what's it got to do with the Bombers TC/Pre-Season?

How close did Trump come to attempting a military coup? Much too close At the present moment, American democracy is like a tightrope walker attempting a crossing during a howling storm, and without a net. That democracy has thus far "survived" the Age of Trump and his regime's and allies' assaults — including an all-too-real attempted coup — is something like the luck enjoyed by fools and drunks. Joe Biden may now be president, but the perilous tightrope walk continues. Safety appears to be in sight, but that is a dangerous illusion: Most lethal falls during a tightrope walk happen during the last few feet when the performer believes they are safe. The flood of "revelations" about the Trump regime's attempts to overthrow American democracy continue. Contrary to what the professional smart people with their "view from nowhere" and too many other members of the chattering classes have claimed, the dangers of a coup perpetrated by the Trump regime were not exaggerated or hysterical, and most certainly were not symptoms of "Trump derangement syndrome." The danger was clear and obvious for those who were paying attention to reality as it is, and not as others wished it to be. What do we now know? (And should have known already?) Donald Trump and members of his inner circle wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to last summer's protests that followed the police murder of George Floyd. As reported by CNN, Trump longed for the U.S. military to "crack skulls" and "handle" the protesters with great force. He reportedly wanted the United States military to "beat the **** out" of the protesters and even "shoot them." When told that such violence was illegal and inappropriate, Trump then suggested that the military could shoot protesters in the legs instead. It appears that Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper were able to stop Trump from ordering U.S. troops to act out his violent, psychopathic fantasies. ProPublica recently obtained emails revealing that the violence by Trump's followers on Jan. 6 by Trump's followers was predictable and in no sense unexpected. In their new reporting, Joshua Kaplan and Joaquin Sapien explain that they interviewed "more than 50 people involved in the events of Jan. 6" and reviewed months' worth of private correspondence: Taken together, these accounts suggest that senior Trump aides had been warned the Jan. 6 events could turn chaotic, with tens of thousands of people potentially overwhelming ill-prepared law enforcement officials. Rather than trying to halt the march, Trump and his allies accommodated its leaders, according to text messages and interviews with Republican operatives and officials. In other words, nothing about the coup attempt was spontaneous or random. It was part of a much larger plot and conspiracy previewed by Trump's repeated attempts to invoke the Insurrection Act during the George Floyd protests and other moments of his presidency. In addition, many questions remain unanswered about the Trump regime's embedding of its supporters in key national security positions and the military's delayed response to the Capitol attack. Let's not overlook that Trump did in fact want the National Guard deployed on Jan. 6 — to protect his followers as they gathered earlier in the day before marching on the U.S. Capitol. Moreover, in a December 2020 Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump and other members of his inner circle, the disgraced former general and national security adviser Michael Flynn supposedly even went so far as to suggest that Trump should impose martial law in order to remain in power following his defeat by Joe Biden.

I believe we were supposed to host the 1997 Draft but the Jets moved to Phoenix so that was cancelled. I doubt if we ever hold an All Star game. Who really wants to come to Winnipeg in late January?? Wow, talk about casting aspersions.

"Global punter draft" Lol. Oh, when you're good, you're VERY Good.

And if need be I am sure sunseri is just a phonecall away I honestly wonder if Fajardo will be the MOP of riders training camp.

thought you might enjoy this comment at reddit where this signing is discussed: "As a Saskatchewan resident and Roughriders fan I can say one thing which might surprise many here is that there’s basically no shot in hell he even sniffs the starting role unless there are two injuries in front of him. Cody Fajardo, who was a practice squad guy for the Raiders in 2015 after being at the university of Nevada, Reno is the favourite to be CFL MVP. His backup Isaac Harker (Colorado school of mines) had an impressive rookie year and is the “QB of the future” lol. your daily chuckle brought to you by sask roughrider fans.

Good news for bombers

that OL was complete dogshit in 2019 and has only gotten worse since. Hilarious. The wildly overrated Fajardo ("...Imagine going all in on Cody Fajardo...." - Raydawg) is going to be running for his life all season...

Throw in some 'Formawurst' and the whole thing is solved.

They were forced to because it had gotten to the point where the sound of a zipper was stampeding whole herds of sheep.

100%. the 2 articles on 3dn about labatte retiring (he would be 37 and out of football for 2 years next, thats what this is) seem to have only the mildest concern for them replacing half their OL. They dont even have a lot of league back up experience. Hardrick and couture probably have more combined cfl games then their entire roster of OL. I wouldnt be surprised if neuf and gray or desjarlais combined for more too. Or if bryant alone was close to matching their entire unit. Fajardo has a big step to make going from a first year starter to succeeding consistently after other teams have a good amount of film on him in the cfl. 1 spin move and 1 pattern created a TON of their success last year. That has to grow exponentially to continue succeeding. That was their primary limiting factor before they lost half their OL. At one point in time, Rick mirer was touted by no less than bill walsh as the next joe montana. He had a better rookie year than drew bledsoe, despite taking a TON more sacks. And in that rookie year he also had at most 5 passing plays, almost never checked down, and had a gigantic split for favored side of the field. In year 2 bledsoe smashed mirers production on an epic level as mirer was never able to adapt to more than he could execute in his first year. He became a huge draft bust with 26 more picks than tds and 20+ loses more than wins. Fajardo has to over come what mirer didnt. And with out a stable OL.

Please don't use a 'free' or 'built in' VPN. If you're not paying for the product, you are the product. You can buy a good VPN for less than $5 a month (VPN.AC) that won't track your every click. You can also create your own for less than $4 a month if you know what you're doing and then you don't have to worry about anyone tracking you.

Careful Tracker, those are my people and my favorite vaction place. Actually a few weeks ago I was reading they have a similar issue as Manitoba does. Generally good vacc numbers but with pockets of really bad vacc numbers. Its a pretty good forecaster of what will happen here.

He was assistant GM and no statement yet that he NOT know. Come on WPG media!!! Good deal.

And, in my experience, there are a lot of dense Scots out there.

If the telcos were smart enough to lay fiber optic cable instead of banking on metal wires that were barely good enough for analog phones, the future is bright for them. BTW, I believe that the Opera browser has VPN built in.

and morons of the week:

Agreed- hence the urgency to get most people doubly vaxxed. I really do worry about the unvaccinated population, they are the ones that are going to feel the brunt of this wave. Another dimension is the stress on our healthcare system too. I'm not too sure what the hospitalization and death rate for those with a single dose.

that contract takes The Hyphen to the end of his career. 5 mil per seems about right for him. He's a quality 2nd line guy, and can play 1st line wing when needed.

Just for a bit of perspective....keep in mind population density there vs here. Also, while people are contracting the virus, severe outcomes are EXTREMELY rare with double dose. From what I've read, hospitalizations and ICU admissions are staying down, even if actual daily case counts are going back up...

Keep digging Saskatchewan, we can still see you!

Learned? No. Forced? Yes.

I'm not endorsing anything. At some point we will face the reality that some people are never going to be vaccinated and Im just suggesting that It probably won't be that big of an issue so long as the larger urban center of Winnipeg has high vaccination rates. Im not promoting anything. Just trying to have a conversation about realities. I mean.. One day the vaccinated will have to learn to live together with the unvaccinated heathens.

'I'm already crazy!’: QAnon pastor goes on delusional rant about sex trafficking in secret DC tunnels Although People for the American Way's Right Wing Watch has announced that it has been indefinitely suspended by YouTube, its Twitter feed is alive and well — and over the weekend, the account tweeted an unhinged sermon by far-right evangelical pastor Greg Locke, who is claiming that secret tunnels used for child sex trafficking can be found underneath the White House and the U.S. Capitol Building. Locke's sermon parrotted the fictional conspiracy theories of the extremist QAnon cult, which believes that the United States' federal government has been infiltrated by an international cabal of child sex traffickers, Satanists and cannibals and that former President Donald Trump was elected in 2016 to fight them.

He has been cleared

I can't wait to watch him try that spin move on the Jeffends and get buried. Going to be glorious. Gatorade coolers beware, I suspect that Jason Maas will have a lot of reasons to be angry this season.

And also:

SSHHH, DAMMIT! You're gonna ruin it for the rest of us! Realistically, few people will go through the trouble. Over the next few years, you will see the traditional networks begin to fade out of prominence as more and more TV content providers start streaming directly to subscribers.

Americans in general can go take a long walk off a short pier they have no standing internationally after they let their former pos of a President trash his allies and act the way he did on the international stage, they don't care about anyone but themselves proving it by hoarding so much of the vaccine that they really didn't end up needing

Interior of the OL is something like Boyko+Clark+E. Johnson, not inspiring at all.

That spin move is gonna get him destroyed

Going to test that "CFL's best national depth" that they claim. Shouldn't be a problem replacing him.

I've got my first dose and my second dose scheduled. I'm very pro Vax. Let's not get this twisted. Steinbach Vax rate has steadily climbed since we got a super site in town and they are always fully booked.
