  1. They have this gawd awful Canadian talk show on now with Shane Hewitt after midnight. So glad I don't work nights anymore.
  2. He's had 2 years to work out the kinks. Wow, at least see Harris run first in a couple of games before you pass judgement on him that he's washed up.
  3. Love how Frosty went from accusing Chevy of hiding secrets about Blackhawks sexual misconduct to GOOD DEAL!! for Nugent-Hopkins almost in mid sentence.
  4. Why would the CFL allow 100 players in a year there are no pre season games? Wouldn't 75 made more sense?
  5. Not being able to attend sporting events or travel is a good start. I have no sympathy at all for them. Most are as dumb as bricks.
  6. C'mon 17to 85, weren't those mosquitos tasty???
  7. Learned? No. Forced? Yes.
  8. 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.
  9. "Global punter draft" Lol. Oh, when you're good, you're VERY Good.
  10. From getting the ball too much in the Grey Cup to this? Whine, whine, whine, whine. STFU & retire then.
  11. Let them get left behind. I hope it affects every aspect of their lives.
  12. College Of The Siskiyous. it was established in 1957 & is one of 116 publicly funded community colleges & is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community & Junior Colleges (ACCJC) of the Western Association of Schools & Colleges.
  13. JUCO is pretty damned good ball. My son played it. There are a lot of players that would tear up U Sports. Most players come from economically challenged families in districts where the drop put rate in high schools are high & gang life is a way of life. My son being Canadian had his eyes opened to the differences socio-economically from the white middle class background he came from. A lot of his teammates were Blacks who came from Oakland & cities from Southern California where poverty & gang life are ripe. These guiys all liked Tyler because he could play & was the starter at qb. He hung out with a lot of those guys & they treated him well. Academically, these players struggled with school, with their SAT's & generally didn't qualify for D1 FCS & FBS colleges. They spend 2 years in a classroom setting where they are taught how to become students. Some of them have to take a remedial English or Math class & have to pass those courses before they can further their studies. Some guys are so far behind it takes them three years to finish a 2 year course so they redshirt but after their time is over most can handle university level courses. They won't be Nobel Prize winners or doctors but they'll come away with a degree from an accredited 4 year university. A lot of players redshirt which means they don't play their first year but it doesn't affect their 2 years of eligibility at JUCO. A lot of them graduate & are offered 2 year scholarships to 4 year colleges which before would have been a dream for most of them. Aaron Rodgers got no scholarship offers after high school so the JUCO (Butte College) in his hometown of Oroville, CA, offered him a chance to play & in 2 years he ended up going to Cal. My son quarterbacked his team (College Of The Siskiyous) against Butte when Rodgers younger brother was one of the qbs there, Both teams were in the same conference. The level of play is outstanding.
  14. I believe so. There was absolutely no way my parents were going to make me eat that. That was a hill I was prepared to die on. They knew it, too.
  15. Well, they need depth for injuries. Besides, guys have to be pushed to make it competitive.
  16. That's TSN's problem. They own the TV rights but I doubt they own any streaming international rights. If it makes TSN pay up to have them then good. They've had a good thing going for along time at a cheap price. I'm all for more money & exposure. Maybe they'll actually take broadcasting the games more seriously & be better partners with the CFL because they sure don't do much now.
  17. Your quote I used was near the top of the previous page... Only 20 posts back, How is that diging anything up? Unless it's a shallow grave, The topic is still being discussed. So, it's valid as I see it. Not dead & buried for a year or more like some others. I didn't go into the archives to find it.
  18. "Hah there... How y'all doin' there boy? Yee Ha. In Alberta, we don't cancel nuthin'. Not lak ya city slickahs in Manitobee. Row-day-o is a way of laff. Even if it kills everyone. Lak mah hat?"
  19. Both my parents were raised on the farm. My Dad from Moosehorn & my Mom from Oakburn. Growing up, my Mom used to make this dish quite a bit. They both loved it. I refused to even taste it as it looked so terrible. My Dad used to say =, "You don't know what you're missing." I answered back, "Yes, I do." Jellied Pigs Feet is the absolutely most disgusting food humans ever created, That jelly is all fat.
