    If I recall correctly I think he was a judge on that Second City reality series that aired on CBC for one season in 2007 before Dave Thomas criticized him off (I don't remember what happened really or what he said) I remember alot more of that show than you would think I wonder if the winner ever got to be promoted to the main stage (Know what else I remember from the show eventually the contestants couldn't handle any more eliminations because they had formed such a bond so they compromised, they didn't have to leave after they were eliminated and this was close to the finale)...oh yeah and just for the hell of it Abbott and Ferguson from Air Farce auditioned.

     

    Yeah that's kind of the only thing I saw Flaherty in, the second city reality show 

    I think Count Floyd was one of my favorite characters that he played on the old SCTV show.

     

     

     

  7. General Hobbyist Thread

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I play Ultimate and coach my daughter's softball team as my main hobbies.  I enjoy golfing in the summer and skiing in the winter, but don't get out to do either nearly as much as I would like.  I used to curl a lot, but stopped when my daughter was born... I really want to get back into it, but don't know anyone who curls and is looking for an additional player.

    I'm also a gamer, mostly PC but some Console as well.

    I'm a aspiring maker/tinkerer.  I love woodworking projects and want to get into 3D printing and CNC but I just don't have the space for it yet, but hopefully soon.

    Why would anyone want to make a bet on this? Yet, millions probably will.

    People were betting on whether on not Travis Kelce was going to propose to Taylor Swift after the game... people bet on some pretty stupid things.

    Toby Keith died.. say what you will about his politics but there's no doubt he could write a hook and never short of creative lyrics... dude was a good song writer. 

     

    - coming from a 90s loving rock n roller who writes music himself. The dude was gifted and knew how to tell a story 

    Rip

    By most accounts that I've seen, he was a democrat.  He was loud and proud about his patriotism, but he was less conservative than most people thought.

    That wasn’t my understanding of it. I thought the rules were changed a few years back to provide a roster benefit to utilizing a Canadian qb.

    I think people were asking for that as a way to encourage teams to develop Canadian QBs, but nothing came of it.

    Per the CFL.ca rules:
     

    Of the 45 players named to the roster, each team may dress an active roster of 45 players, broken down as follows:

    • Maximum of 3 QBs (no designation)
    • Maximum of 19 American players
    • Minimum of 21 National players
      • Including one nationalized American
    • Minimum of 1 Global player

    **45th player would be an extra national or global player

    The issue for Streveler was that Dru Brown was graduating to being a starter MBT came back to the cfl.  Tre Ford is available in a trade to teams as well and he offers a cheaper price point and Canadian status.  Bombers probably the only team with full confidence they know how to use Streveler. Things would be different if Paul Lapolice was still head coach in Ottawa. 

    Tre Ford being a Canadian doesn't provide any benefit as the QB position is a non-counter when it comes to the ratio.

    Been sporting a Vega jersey for years and my wife just bought me a Wolitarsky one towards the end of the season last year.  Usually end up with a new hat and or t-shirt every year, but I'm not a huge fan of the t-shirts that they've been selling the last few years (other than the plain blue with the white W on it).

    I just noticed that Princess Auto came in 27th from a survey for Canada's best employers. Thats the best showing for a retail company by a large margin (number 2 retailer is Apple at 75).

    https://www.forbes.com/lists/canada-best-employers/?sh=82519bd2790b

     

    I'm struggling with that list a little bit because I know that number 11 had no business being anywhere close to that list, nevermind being that high on it.

    I was very confident he wasn’t going anywhere. Buck will be the Bombers next HC when the time comes. 

    Like Walters said in his press conference, the goal when he became GM was to have the same kind of continuity and success that Calgary was seeing at the time.  Huffnagel was coach with Dickensen in the wings... we have O'Shea as coach with Buck in the wings.

    Love the continuity that should keep us rolling to more successful seasons.

    Prolly similar to how most of us feel about friesen but more so. 
     

    Good hire for the riders, it’ll be interesting to see how he fairs. 

    At least Friesen is right once in a while... he can be obnoxious sometimes (alot of the time), but he's definitely not as bad as Ballsy.

    That's not grinding tho. That's doing your job. If you are going 2 and out as you should, then your defence is fresh as a daisy all game long without needing a huge rotation and roster management is a moot point. That's what I'm getting at. The games we lost this year is because of one of two reasons, our offence was going 2 and out, and our defence was allowing long drives. Sometimes it was both. Did not having fresh bodies complicate things...yea....I have never suggested it didn't however only after we shat the bed.

    You're kindof arguing your own point.  Because of roster management, ie. not having the best possible guys out there or on the roster to rotate in, they weren't able to get the 2 and outs earlier in the game and were worn out by the end.

    The argument has always been that the roster management would cost us some games... as you point out in a later post, 5 out of 20 games sounds about right.
