Apparently, Roddenberry was one of the problems. The studio didn't want him but they didn't know how to fire him so they gave him an office. He would grab the script everyday & rewrite it. Then there was a problem with the special effects company they hired for the movie. The job was too much & most of the special effects had to be redone becausae they were awful. There was a hard deadline for the film to hit movie screens & a week or two before the premiere they were still writing the script & trying to keep Gene Rodenberry out of their hair which is why the ending makes no sense. It was rushed & the film was completed just days before the premiere.

The worst Star Trek movie ever made. It lacked action, plodding storyline & horrible ending. They can remaster that film all they want. However, a pig with lipstick is still a pig.

I could tell you stories about kids I coached that would have been great players had they stuck with it or were stolen by other sports. As well as a couple of players who went on to play in the CFL. They weren't all my position players. When I say 'coached", I mean I was part of the coaching staff of the team I was on with them. Some were my guys. Most were other coaches guys.

Yeah, there are hidden gems every year. At all positions. The kids don't know the potential they have but you keep doing you. One of the best receivers I ever saw played bantam football for me. He was totally raw in Grade 9 & couldn't run great routes but he caught every football thrown to him. He was years ahead of every kid on the team & the league as a pass catcher. Just a damned natural talent. I literally begged the kid to play HS football. I told him the sky's the limit if he works hard to perfect his routes & blocking. His hand to eye coordination was simply off the charts. He played volleyball in HS instead. Wasn't interested in playing football. My son Tyler was his qb & even he couldn't convince him to play in Grade 10. We still talk about him sometimes. He was one that got away.

**** happens.

He never murdered his son. He fell off the balcony when the sliding door was accidentally left open by the maid in the kid's mom's high rise condo in New York. Clapton & his wife were separated at the time. He wasn't even there. Holy ****. Gonna post that on social media or just leave that stinky nugget here?

After surviving being kidnapped by Poppy in Kingsman: The Golden Circle & being forced to perform in a parrot costume, this happens. Seriously, all the best to Sir Elton & hope it isn't serious.

So much for universal health care. Man, i would love to see a class action lawsuit on behalf of people who died or had surgeries postponed in the billions for all provinces & Ottawa. Politicians like Kenney, Moe & Ford who cut healthcare should be financially be responsible. They & their governments should pay.... financially. Not tragic at all. It's just plain stupid. Selfish prick won't ever watch his kids grow up. I sympathize with the family unless they're all like him. I certainly don't sympathize with the guy at all.

Who was our kicker in 2010? Joe Mack was GM & LaPo was HC. Justin Palardy was our kicker & he hit 86% of his FG's in 2010. He played in the CFL until 2014 & retired with an 81% lifetime FG average. Only missed one extra point his entire career. So, as much as I think Joe Mack was a terrible GM & LaPo makes strange personnel decisions, I'll give them both a pass here on Paredes.

He is rock steady. That's all that needs to be said.

I don't agree. Not every wide receiver runs a 4.5/40. You need good size at TE to be able to block & then slip out to catch the ball. As a guy who coached HS I saw kids who had lots of potential to play TE. Good size, speed & hands but there was no point as a big kid would be moved to defense if he played junior ball or U Sports because the CFL doesn't use TE's. So, we never used TE's either. The CFL just throws a Canadian fullback out there to block but never catch. If they bring back the TE in the CFL, you'll see the change go down the ladder to HS & community football & we can start developing some promising Canadian players. Nothing will happen until the CFL makes a change first. That is great news about Alexander!! We need our receiving corps back. I really loved that group as they were the best in the CFL.

Usually a signing bonus tells fans how interested NFL teams are. Anyone know?

With George.... errr... Pete Costanza leaving hiring Nik Lewis might be a good move. He was a heckuva receiver in his playing days. One man wrecking crew. Very physical player. I know he wants to coach.

As someone who has lost both his parents & my only sister, life goes on. If you dwell on it too much it will destroy you.

I commented here last season more than once that it looked like Reilly wasn't having any fun. Never seemed excited or happy on the bench. No smiling. Didn't talk to anyone & just had his head buried in his device on the sidelines. I think that line he played behind was so bad every season he played in BC that he finally checked out in his mind last season. I could tell it was probably over for him.

Like it used to be...

Kate Bierness & Sanchez were the problem. They tried to be a stand up duo at a comedy club. The You Got Screwed & the segment where they all had those paper face masks of Trevor Harris? That was almost as embarrassing as the Glen Suitor halftime interview with Keith Urban.

Great articles. I sure hope this is the last off season of strictly one year deals. It's crazy.

Yeah. Like what the hell is so special about him? A backup Canadian fullback. I can check his stats but I don't expect to find much offensively that would peak NFL interest yet here we are. Probably on specials.

I love it. Lol. Is he even vaxxed? Worked for the Oakland Raiders in the 70's.

My feeling is we may have to get boosted every 5-6 months until the pandemic is over. Then a shot that combines protection for the flu & covid once a year. Hopefully we're on the other side of things but who knows??

Thye AFC has the more interesting option. They have the 2 Young Guns throwing The New Way. The NFC has the 2 Old Guys throwing The New Way as well . They have nostalgia on their side. Some fans want Brady to win an 8th Super Bowl. Others want Stafford to win a SB because of all the crap Lions teams he played on where no matter what he did they had little or no chance to win.

How can a team like Green Bay keep having these phenomenal regular seasons yet continue to choke in the playoffs? Just have this feeling that Aaron Rodgers & the Packers will go their separate ways now. Lots of unhappy fans in GB who'll blame Rodgers. One Super Bowl ring for him. That's just incredible.

Meanwhile on twitter, Lucious Pureifoy is sure getting the fans in Sasky all riled up by saying the Riders don't want to pay him.
