My wife's cousin was a guard at Stoney Mountain in the 70's. He's now an accountant living in Abbotsford, BC. He used to tell me stories about his time at SM. Two stories stand out as I haven't seen him in 20 years. The first was they had an inmate from Quebec in a maximum security cell block as he was so violent. It might have been in isolation, I can't remember. He said the inmate used to talk all the time out loud bragging about how he killed two people. How much he enjoyed it, how he did it & wanted to kill again. People outside his cell in the hall as well as other inmates could hear every word he said. Her cousin was well over 250 lbs would have been in his early 30's at the time & someone you'd want watching your back in a tight spot but it was obvious he was scared of the guy. How do you rehabilitate someone like that? He was sadistic & enjoyed killing people. He'd never be rehabilatated. The second was how the guards used to mete out respect & justice to any inmate who wouldn't listen to them or disrespected them. They used to drag inmates to a stairwell & push them down the stairs then kick the **** out of them before bringing them back to their cells. The jail officials in charge always looked the other way. He said once was enough to have most of them show respect to the guards. Pretty shocking to hear these stories. This was the 70's.

I read where Walters said he left the door open for Bryant Mitchell to come back if he wants.

With this Third Wave powered by variants along with government restrictions & closures the training camps across the league won't be opening in mid May. So, call a news conference, make the official announcement that the season is delayed, set another target date say mid July & be done with it. How hard is that? C'mon Ambrosie get off your ******* ass you useless POS & talk to us!!!

I suspect some of these guys across the league will "unretire" if there is a season.

Kid is raised right.

Blue Bloods hasn't been cancelled yet. They have neutered Danny as he can't go off on criminals anymore if they don't cooperate. Same with Hank Voight of Chicago PD. No one has visited the cage in the basement of his precinct this season.

Hope Blue Bloods survive the cuts.

For awhile, after I saw him I'd call him up just to say hello & we'd chat for a few minutes. He always had the time to talk even though I was interrupting his preparation for his sportscast on tv. As I was living in Calgary, I never went to Don's funeral. I wish l had.

I spent a day shadowing him at CBC in 1971. I was in Grade 9 doing a school project. I called him out of the blue, told him about my project & Witt instantly said okay for me to spend the day with him. One of the best days I ever had as a teen. I met all the CBC 24 Hours crew, News anchor Garth Dawley, Meteorologist Murray Parker & interviewers John Harvard & Gerry Haslam. He was a genuinely nice man. Treated me like gold. I got to see how they put together an hour long news show.

My wife is eligible tomorrow as well. Hope you both get in quick.

Alberta back into restrictions. Who didn't see this coming when they eased them a few weeks ago?

Just as an aside, but I see topics on different sites like the NFL Network, where they say "Classic Games" & it's a game from last season. Really? To me, a classic game is Ken Ploen vs Bernie Faloney. Not Matt Nichols vs Cody Fajardo.

Well, dam.

Ghosted again.

I think we all know that training camps & the season aren't going to start on time so just inform the media, players & fans to make it official. That's all Ambrosie has to do.

For sure.

The video doesn't show what started the confrontation.

If the Calgary City Police Chief won't let his force do their jobs then they shouldn't get funded.

That's what is happening in Alberta now. I certainly am for defunding the police as they don't do their jobs anymore. Cops always crying for more money, Screw them.

Neither do the Lethbridge Police. he should have stayed in for his senior year.

Happy Easter to everyone here at Morning Big Blue. Let's hope that we soon emerge from the darkness & uncertainty of Covid 19. Stay healthy & vigilant.

It's here in Alberta.

Sorry about your wife, Tracker. That is very sad.

I'd be very uncomfortable driving my school bus after Spring Break this Tuesday. So, I get you.
