  1. The character that many are assuming was a mockery of Jesus was meant to be Dionysus, the Greek god of wine-making, orchards and fruit, vegetation, fertility, festivity, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, and theatre. Basically, the god of partying, which is a big part of the Olympics. It's a nod to the Greek heritage of the Olympics and the people who are offended by it, are looking for something to be offended by.
  2. Apparently the refs just want to hand the game to Sask
  3. BC Place looks a bit like a toilet lid: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/BC+Place/@49.2767972,-123.1130451,368m/data=!3m2!1e3!5s0x5486717ce3307959:0xbb811745f65fed95!4m6!3m5!1s0x5486717cfcbee0d5:0xf9404dfd918218bb!8m2!3d49.27675!4d-123.111999!16zL20vMDNiNGcz?entry=ttu McMahon doesn't have a roof, so no, doesn't look like a toilet: seat:https://www.google.ca/maps/place/McMahon+Stadium/@51.0705269,-114.1220417,421m/data=!3m2!1e3!5s0x53716fa41ee999fd:0x3333a570bd07a8ec!4m6!3m5!1s0x53716fa404414271:0xf0f4b301ee305ac8!8m2!3d51.0704555!4d-114.121497!16s%2Fg%2F11bc65sdpl?entry=ttu Commonwealth same as McMahon, but bigger: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Commonwealth+Stadium/@53.5597173,-113.4779618,563m/data=!3m2!1e3!5s0x53a02301b52feec1:0x3333a57040c9561c!4m6!3m5!1s0x53a02301d7e91b65:0xccd3bd3956bf7a03!8m2!3d53.5597052!4d-113.4768787!16zL20vMDM4d2dy?entry=ttu Mosaic definitely looks like a public toilet seat: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Mosaic+Stadium/@50.450613,-104.6343478,427m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x531c1e69ca22280d:0xf2ea51d252b531ae!8m2!3d50.4504947!4d-104.6329603!16zL20vMDFfa3B4?entry=ttu Princess Auto Stadium doesn't have a round roof at all: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Princess+Auto+Stadium/@49.8078139,-97.143562,433m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x52ea7377de57b1bb:0x90cef9b21669335b!8m2!3d49.8076999!4d-97.1431117!16s%2Fm%2F03qhnh4?entry=ttu BMO Field looks like a box: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/BMO+Field/@43.6333329,-79.4192868,485m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x882b3505f6ef4351:0x9d2169b3f7b70c2d!8m2!3d43.6331702!4d-79.4186162!16zL20vMDh3Z2Z4?entry=ttu Tim Horton's Field also looks like a box: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Tim+Hortons+Field/@43.2522076,-79.8302848,488m/data=!3m2!1e3!5s0x882c9bfd59645a2f:0x3333a570d213c5fc!4m6!3m5!1s0x882c9bfd5ec2c495:0xd057f19def0bffe9!8m2!3d43.2524552!4d-79.8308998!16s%2Fm%2F09gh8gh?entry=ttu TD place is pretty square as well: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/TD+Place/@45.3982322,-75.6846403,396m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x4cce05c1c34168f3:0x4a69b90dfe9b6eb2!8m2!3d45.3984036!4d-75.6835728!16zL20vMDNiN3ox?entry=ttu Percival Molson Stadium is similar in shape to McMahon and Commonwealth: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Percival+Molson+Memorial+Stadium/@45.5101881,-73.5811302,279m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x4cc91a36e15778c9:0x25493c3f356f3ea6!8m2!3d45.5101363!4d-73.5807716!16zL20vMDM5MTli?entry=ttu So yeah, only Mosaic looks like a toilet seat, and the closest other one is the lid that is BC Place.
  4. Wolitarsky
  5. Just watch Collaros come back angry after having to take a game off and just light it up like he did last year after being taken out of that Edmonton game.
  6. He lost it after the contact from Calgary and he was already down.
  7. That catch by Wolitarsky was fantastic awareness to roll so the point of the ball didn't hit the turf.
  8. Kevin Burgoine, I believe he is the receivers coach
  9. Streveler
  10. Love that helmet design, definitely my favorite.
  11. My question is whether he is actually mad, or was the reporter, Billeck, asking very leading questions so that the answers could be interpreted that way. It wouldn't be the first time a reporter wanted to stir up a controversy, so they asked those types of leading questions and then framed the article in such a way as to make it look much worse than it really is.
  12. Sir Lord Keric of Wheatfall
  13. Streveler
  14. The other argument would be that it was contacting the helmet, so still a roughing the passer... a very soft roughing the passer, but been called the last couple years either way.
  15. Bonfire Sports... generally some pretty good insights and analysis.
  16. Your kids don't know what they are talking about. I have the S10+ and have considered going to a newer phone, but it's been so good that I see no reason to change. My whole family is on iPhones, but I will never have one for myself.
  17. By the strictest definition of a city (population of at least 50,000 people with a density greater than 1,500 per sq. km), according to the 2021 census there is 1 (Brandon). That being said, we do have pockets of places that have the population density but not the total population: Portage La Prairie Thompson Selkirk Niverville Neepawa Flin Flon Virden No I didn't miss the sarcasm, but the comment piqued my interest, so I looked it up.
  18. The standards of 15 years ago are not the same as they are now. Something that Barker did or said 15 years ago (and I won't claim to know what it was or how it compares to what Marcoux said here), may or may not get him fined now. As society evolves, so does what is seen as acceptable and not acceptable, so it's really hard to put the two situations side by side and say that they are the same and should be treated the same.
  19. When Darian Durant retired from the Bombers before the season started, his bonus money that had been paid counted against the SMS, so a precedent has been set there. There is no way that the Argos should ever be let off the hook for that $300K, but it is the Argos, so you never know what the league will do for them.

  21. Coaching is a ton of fun... I'm coaching U13 girls softball starting tonight... really looking forward to the season kicking off. I did flag football a number of years back, but I was in a bit over my head with that one... still fun though.
  22. Playing devil's advocate a bit here, but how do you know that they haven't tried. For all we know, they could have approached every streaming service there is and begged them to put the CFL on there, but if the streamers have no interest, the CFL can't force it. It's easy to say that they should try things, but when the decision is out of their control, there's no way for any of us to know what has and hasn't been tried, unless you know someone who works at the league and they told you that everyone there is just sitting around twiddling their thumbs.
