Is he still doing rallies? Those in attendance should import Russian rations the soldiers eat that expired 5 years ago. -
All the provincial Conservative governments are trash.

The Big Mac has been a standby for decades for most of us. -
That was just terrible. Did you see that Conservative MLA beside her grinning the entire time?

The biggest problems I see are two things: Canadian offensive linemen who aren't good enough to play are starting because coaches want to put most of the starting 7 Canadians on both sides of the line. Canadian OL out of college for the most part aren't ready & need time to develop. We went thru that in the early part of the last decade where qbs like Drew Willy were sacrificed for the ratio. It killed him & his career as he became a human piniatta playing for us. We tried to develop an All Canadian OL. It just never happened because of a lack of talent & the fact it takes years to develop most Canadian offensive linemen. Only when we played Americans in the mix on the OL did things improve. Two, is the lack of great qbs. The NFL hordes all the best. Guys that would have played here in the past are buried as the #3 qb on an NFL roster or on a practice roster because they can make more money doing that so they don't come up to the CFL anymore. Instead, we get mostly small colleges, D2, some NAIA & players who lack the talent & smarts to learn a Canadian offensive playbook & read defenses.

And I'll keep harping as long as the Randy apologists keep sticking up for him. . Ambrosie's terrible. Has he denied beyond the shadow of a doubt that we won't switch to 4 down football? Says nothing. He could put all these rumours to rest & yet he doesn't. So, these stories keep popping up. This could mean the destruction of our beloved CFL. That assclown deserves all the scorn he gets. Mark Cohon... It's almost like it was the Golden Age compared to now.

Well, that could be but he has spent many years in jail. He was a highjly touted qb from Ohio State. He destroyed his career because of gambling. He lost his football career in the NFL & CFL, all his money, his savings, family & turned to a life of crime. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2021/09/01/former-colts-quarterback-art-schlichter-has-been-released-prison/5686961001/

Have you guys ever heard of Art Schlichter?

Van Pelt didn't have a choice. He was drafted into the US Air Force in 1960. The Bombers wanted him to resume his playing career in 1963 once he was discharged. He was the team;'s guest during the 1962 Grey Cup weekend. However, he decided to stay retired & went tnto private business in Chicago.

Johnzo, I like Whopper with cheese. -

Anyone follow Max Bernier on twitter? His posts are becoming more unhinged. The Ukraine should be left to the Russians. The War isn't real. Everything is a conspiracy. Every politician in Canada but him is a member of the World Economic Forum & Klaus Schwab is Enemy Number 1. The man is dangerous & I see more & more people seemingly agreeing with his hatred & rhetoric everyday on Twitter. The man to me, is a threat to our security as a nation. He's also a nutbar. A dangerous nutbar. His wwords are working up his base into a frenzy as far as I can see. To think this guy was Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister & then wanted to be leader of the CPC is chilling. He's becoming more & more radicalized.

Yeah, I smoked on the ice back in the 70's. We all did. There was an ashtray in the middle of the ice on both sides halfway down the sheet & in both houses. http://www.cbc.ca/polopoly_fs/1.4543972!/fileImage/httpImage/image.gif

I'm seeing a coming together of all leagues in North America (USFL, XFL & CFL) into one developmental league for the NFL. Perhaps like the AHL, one developmental team for every NFL team. For example, the BC Lions for the Seahawks, the Eskimos for the Rams, the Stamps for the 49ers, the Bombers for the Vikings. A massive infusion of money from gambling, tv & the NFL. The first step on making it 4 down football only & taking it global.

I stay away from double patties. I like Teen Burger, Mozza Burger, Big Mac & Whopper. My youngest son Tyler was born in Calgary. He never had a burger from Junior's. Well back in the 70's I went to the University of Winnipeg. I used to walk across the street to Junior's the odd time to grab a burger & fries. When we were in town for Xmas in 1999, I decided to take him there & he had a loaded burger & fries. He was 9 & his reaction was just like what you see in that dumb peanut butter ad. He was incredulous. So funny to watch. Now, he's so into fitness & health that he stays away from all the burger joints in Seattle. The only burger he'll eat is one he makes himself on his BBQ. -

Teen Burger for me. Always liked A & W. Stay away from that plant thing they're selling. -
I know you're not happy with some aspects of the game today. Teams also need sponsorships to help defray costs of travel, food & accomodations as well.

Which really sucks. It used to be all about the pride of wearing the Buffalo on the back of the sweater. That was a hu8ge deal. I don't know if I'm in the majority or minority here but I don't like the way the Brier is done. More teams, less games. Same teams always make it to the finals. Skips who live in one province skipping teams from another. It used to be that it was all about repping your club in the MCA Bonspiel or any bonspel for that matter as well as zone playdowns & provincials. Then repping your province at the Brier & Canada at the World's. I remember in junior whenever we beat a team from the Granite. That was always special. We felt a lot of pride for Fort Rouge. That was our "Mother Club". I didn't play competitive Men's after junior so I can't say I knew what it was like to win at that level but still carry that pride for Fort Rouge right to this day. Even though I haven't set foot in that place since I moved to Calgary in 1990.
