  1. Dumbest player on the field tonight? Toby Antigha.
  2. I've said it in the past that Bailey is the heart & soul of the receiving corps. He doesn't put up big numbers but he's the leader of that group. He's loud & very vocal. The guys look up to him.
  3. I'm not superstitious. Daly's an "interesting player" as you put it. No doubt the way he's going his life will be snuffed out early but that's neither here nor there,
  4. Speaking of interesting players, anyone see John Daly??? He's been quoted in the past as saying he plays his best golf when he's drunk.
  5. No worries as I wasn't directing my comments at what you said. Just pointing out what closing down provincial facilites & small business would do.
  6. Not every business or government dept can just shut down with a day or two's notice. My wife is an Oncology Nurse at the Holy Cross Medical Centre in Calgary which is run by Alberta Health Services. The Provincial government hasn't decided to shut down for the Queen's funeral on Monday. There are radiation & chemotherapy treatments already scheduled for that day. They just can't be cancelled. People have elective surgeries booked in hospitals in Red Deer, Ft McMurray, Edmonton & Calgary. Some prople have waited years for hips or replacement knees. It would be totally unfair to cancel any of these surgeries. People have dentist & doctor's appointments, chiropractic as well as physiotherapy appointments booked for Monday. A lot of small businesses have suffered thru health restrictions since 2020. Some are still teetering on the brink. Financially even closing for one day could be catastrophic for some in the hospitality industry. I hope Kenney doesn't shut things down here in Alberta as it'll be chaos. Especially in healthcare. I don't think Queen Elizabeth would have wanted any of that to happen because of her.
  7. You have some reading to catch up on. It should be. Kids need to know of the sacrifices other generations made for real freedom. having to sing O'Canada everyday for 12 years was okay to me.
  8. Without these extremely wealthy people who take peoples hard earned money we wouldn't have an NHL team now, would we? I never understood the hatred for people who were wealthy.
  9. Yeah, O Canada, Lord's Prayer in the morning & God save The Queen in the afternoon as well as well. Grades 1-12.
  10. Automatically the cop's fault because what Phillips said. Okay.
  11. Yep. At the end of the school day from Grade 1 thru Grade 12 in the Winnipeg School Division No. 1. Ashland, Riverview & Churchill High School.
  12. Sorry, I meant the War of Independence from Britain.
  13. There were as thousands migrated along the Oregon & California Trails or into Texas (which was under Mexican control) but the real push out west came with the Iron Horse in the 1870's.
  14. Next time I come in for a game, I'll let you know on here. Be great to meet up & chat for a few minutes.
  15. The Monroe Doctrine was half a century after the Civil War. The US still hadn't expanded west out of the colonial states in 1823. That would come but not yet.
  16. I've seen comments on social media. The Bombers & we their fans as a result are so deep in the heads of some of their fans that they're starting to go insane. It's direspectful, sure but the fact some are so tortured is extremely funny to me.
  17. Domino effect. Can't pay all the receivers the cash they make now. Then there DL, LB & DBs. Their OL stinks but they still overpay Chungh. He's almost half of what they'd pay a QB so you can see how effed they are as a team next year. Terrible salary management allottment. TheLions were built to make a challenge this year. Like the Riders were in 2013 & then years of futility after.
  18. Back then, there was no American Imperialism. The Colonies were barely making it on their own. They resented British rule as wella s increased taxes & wanted to be independent from London (Monarchy & Parliament).
  19. Why do we have national anthems anyway? It's probably a throwback to the two World Wars when we were actually fighting for something. Today, it's just too political. Look at how things went with the Star Spangled Banner in the US. What a **** show that became. If it was up to me, I'd ban O Canada entirely. Dickenson has to go. I think he knows that even with a crossover he's done. And he should be. Lousy coach. Too many excuses for everything. The discipline issues continue. The Riders just won't stop. That on the HC.
  20. Edmonton is horrible. Chris Jones will run like hell somewhere else this off season.
  21. British taxes on tea & a blockade I believe.
  22. And yet, it wasn't the stomach flu or food poisoning that made them lose the game. It was lack of discipline all game long again. Stupid penalties that extended stalled Bomber drives. Strange call again by Jason Maas. Third & one & he has Hickson running well so he calls a pass again!!! The Riders want sympathy but they need to develop discipline & Maas some brains.
  23. Ah, who really cares what the gap tooth gang over there think? We've beaten them again back to back in the 2 biggest regular season games of the year. We're 12-1 & they're 6-7. We've won 12 Grey Cups & they've won 4. And they have to wake up tomorrow & everyday in Regina & we don't. They hate us cuz they ain't us.
