Well, that's settled then because clearly, that one guy represents the entirety of the people of Norway.  So if I can find a Canadian who left Canada because he didn't like it here, that must mean that Canada's bad and some other country is "doing things right".

If you are young, well-paid, healthy and do not run into one of life's bad surprises, you do not need to be looked after by anyone. However, almost all of us are one phone call away from poverty or tragedy. Taxes, if used wisely, are like buying insurance on you, your home or car- you pay the installments and gripe, but hope you never need to call on the benefits.
I would rather pay the taxes which subsidize those less fortunate and never draw on the payouts. Did you know that the rich in countries which have socialized medicine live longer than the equally rich in countries (like the US until lately) who do not? The difference is about 3 1/2 years, It would be safe to assume that the rich would have access to the same pay-for-service care in both cases yet the difference is there.
We are our brothers' keepers, even if they annoy the heck out of us.

Yes, Norway does tax its citizens at a high rate, but Norweigians get free dental care, fee eye care (including glasses), free psychological care, and two years of free post-secondary education for those who qualify. Moreover, Norwegians rate themselves a the third-happiest people on Earth (the Danes were #1) and as a measure of the health of their society, when neo-Nazi Anders Brevik (who killed 77 people including children) appeared in court, families of the slain appeared in court to ask that Brevik be given psychiatric help rather than a lifetime behind bars. That is a mark of a humane society.  
Wealth does not equal happiness or mental health. There is evidence to the contrary.

They should have decided on a totally unrealistic completion date and then cut as many corners as possible in order to make it, because that's how you build quality.

A PR guy for the team wrote a fluff piece about the people who pay his salary.  Colour me shocked because I'm sure that this has never happened in the history of PR people.  Seriously guys, his job is to promote the team, first, last and always.  If you want drama, Friesen and Lawless handle that stuff.

They certainly got the crowd size right!

I was thinking of sending Taman a nice fruit basket or maybe a Subway gift card as thanks for taking one for the Bombers (and everyone else)

Ya, because he never had that reputation before last year.  Seriously dude, you're not even trying.  It's like you're channeling Glenn right now.

So by your logic, because we were less than mediocre, we should be content getting to it?  Remind me never to invite you to give the inspirational speech before a big game.  "Remember this men, there's mediocrity in each one of you, I know there is.  Get out there and show them just how mediocre you can be!"

Kind of irrelevant now with the Brohm signing. Here's my 2 cents tho on Kevin Glenn, just do this one last time lol. This Kevin Glenn stuff pops up every off-season it seems, always so many pages devoted to Kevin Glenn it seems. Here we go, Back in the day KG was a good quarterback, he was never great, he was just good, he was never in the Ray Burriss Calvillo category, I don't think I'd put him in the durant or lulay category either. He did have a very good season or 2 several years ago now, the season we went to the Cup final and you know what, he showed some fire but that was a long time ago now, many many years ago now. Something happened to Glenn over the years it seems, He got older, he got slower, he started to turtle more, He became just another average QB but he is an average QB with a name people recognize. I mean, Give me tate over glenn any day, give me Trevor Harris even, give me Brohm even over Glenn. I guess, eventually you just need to move on from the past, you can never really go forward if you keep going back to the past. Couple years ago, gladly would have taken Glenn, I'd have taken Glenn over Pierce and Max Hall and the crap that we have had since really trading Kevin Glenn but now we got ourselves a solid stable of QB's, Drew WIlly could be very good and could be very good for a long time, Brohm showed some flashes, Marve looks like he could be a good one... Portis? Who knows really but... Think it's time to move on from old KG... Few years ago, sure gimme glenn because an average Glenn is better than the crap we had but... today? moving forward? No Thanks. Glenn is just not the same QB he was when he had his 2 or so good seasons a few years ago. Guys had chances to win the big games too and have failed.. it's not all on him that's for sure but... eventually you do wonder if maybe just maybe, Kevin Glenn just can't win the game that matters. Has he ever won the game that mattered? I'm not sure he has. He generally stinks it up come November doesn't he. Doubt a guy at his age will turn it around. Let the Riders or Als have him really. I liked Glenn when he was here in his prime but... his prime has come and gone now. 

I just didn't have the patience to read your last rant 17.  No Kevin Glenn for me.  That's all I know.  No Glenn, no Burris, no Kuale, no Romby.  Give me a team of Willys, Denmarks and Bryant Turners.  Those are the kind of guys I want.

So by your logic, because we were less than mediocre, we should be content getting to it?  Remind me never to invite you to give the inspirational speech before a big game.  "Remember this men, there's mediocrity in each one of you, I know there is.  Get out there and show them just how mediocre you can be!"

I'm interested in turning things around.  Not in 5 years, or 3 years, or 2.  NOW.  Other teams have done it, gone from being a cellar dweller to highly competitive in one year, so it is something that can be done.  I'm tired of the excuses and the "Rome wasn't built in a day" crap.  This ain't Rome, so build the bloody thing now.  And by the way, I think that Walters, as much as I was really concerned about him when he was hired, seems to be of a like mind.  So forget average, because when you aim for average, you've already failed.

Or, another crazy thought here, some of us realize that Glenn just isn't all that good anymore.  By way of example,  BC is a team that will be needing someone to back up Lulay.  They went out and got Glenn just for that purpose, saw what he was capable of, and cut him, even though they are really no better off, backup wise, than they were one year ago.  What then does that tell you?  Tells me that people, a whole lot more knowledgeable than you or I, recognized that he's past his best before date and they'd rather find someone else, even if that someone has a whole lot less experience.  But ya, it's clearly because of personal bias 

Trust me, I will never, ever, say "shoulda signed Glenn" unless, of course, we are talking about who the Bombers should get as the Official Doughnut Supplier for the O Line.
