And the progressive left of the Democratic Party are upset so many Republicans are allowed to speak at the convention like John McCain's wife, Kasich & Powell. Meanwhile not realizing that is how you win elections by expanding your base & appealing to Independents & disaffected Republicans who hate Trump & may sit out this election. I swear most of these so called progressives aren't very smart. They haven't clued into that concept yet because most of them are so young their mothers still help them blow their nose & tie their shoes. One progressive female Democrat in her 30's actually said to another older white commentator in his 50's or 60's when they were both guests on CNN last night when asked to give his take on the convention Day 2 she interjected, "All due respect but the future of the Democratic Party is people like me. Not old white guys like you". No, there was no respect there at all so why even say it? Just this sense of entitlement that progressives have hijacked the party & it's theirs now. So anyone that's over 45 get the hell out & leave as we don't want you anymore. So much for a party that is for everyone.

2019 Redo - Week 11 Aug 23 - Blue Bombers at Elks
SpeedFlex27 replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
They weren't the Elks a year ago & still don't have that name. Therefore they aren't the Elks. They were the Eskimos & that is what I'm still going to call them when dealing in the past tense like past games or former players. Going forward from this point on they will be called something else & I'll have no problem doing that. For me, any reference to Edmonton's team name will still be the Eskimos from 2019 & back to 1949 when the team was formed because that was their name. Of course, the best way to get around that is to just call them Edmonton. As in, Edmonton vs Winnipeg. Or Winnipeg @ Edmonton. -
I made fun of Noeller calling Miller, Walters & Osh The Triad or something similar, I can't remember. I was wrong & I don't mind saying I'm sorry.

But the fool on the hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head Sees the world spinning round Round & round & round & round & round... This current discussion about supporting Trump & racism... is like a page long & nothing new is being said now except the same old arguments again & again by everyone on both sides. Insulting Brandon & labeling him a racist when none of you here know the man in person to be able to say that is the truth ot not is both unfair & wrong. And Brandon, you have no chance to win this argument so why dissect every post like it's your last ever? Just ignore, walk away & live to fight another day. You made your point so be done with it. You won't convince or change anyone's mind over to your position. Just like the others here won't convince you or change your mind, either. How much longer is this so called "discussion" going to go on??? How many more of the same tired & lame points need to be made over & over as well as round & round & round & round & round... by everyone? Yes, I realize the irony of me being the last guy to lecture anyone on etiquette, behaviour or decorum here as I can be quite opinionated myself but c'mon guys. This discussion is going absolutely nowhere.

As if this year couldn't get any worse. Dale Hawerchuk was an incredible talent on the ice & from everything I've heard he was agentleman away from it. He was just a kid when he came to Winnipeg in 1981 & the entire Jets franchise was put on his shoulders to carry. Carry it well he did. He became the team's captain & leader, no question. Rest in Peace, Dale.

So much for (according to Justin Dunk) Hamilton being the CFLs Super Team...

Lindbergh should go to jail. He wants to run an event like this then he should take responsibility for any deaths.

Kasich is probably the most famous Republican to endorse Biden. And he is from a midwest Rust Belt State. Trump shas to win Ohio if he has any hopes of being President.
-
Former Republican Governor & 2016 Presidential Republican Candidate John Kasich just publicly endorsed Joe Biden on the virtual broadcast of the Democratic National Convention this ev ening. That took some guts & probably finished his political career as a Republican.

Develop a business plan that is realistic. Not get owners who can't watch expenses.

I have a story for you but in this case, I won't use the name of the person who told me as he is a facebook friend & an MP in Ottawa. He is well connected to the CFL. When Ambrosie made his sales pitch last spring asking for $130 million dollars, this politician approached him & said, "I can help you. I know the members of the Committee & how to present your proposal to them. What to say, how to say it & who to say it to." Ambrosie had no interest in talking to him, getting help or finding out what tools he would need when talking to the Committee. He talked to Ambrosie a couple of times & was rebuffed eaxh time. He called the Commissioner "clueless". Well, we know what happened. Ambrosie appeared before the committee asked for $130 million. He said the CFL would fold without it. No, the Players don't know I'm here. I have no formal plan because all I want to do is get some money from you guys & we'll take care of the rest. And by the way, the teams lost $20 million dollars last season (2019). Ambrosie's initial presentation turned into a disaster & subsequent meetings afterwards where the amount of $$$ asked kept going down. Until last night we find the Liberals turned the league down flat & the season is cancelled. First impressions are everything & Ambrosie blew it

Put on your hard hat & watch out for objects flying at your head from the apologists.

Don't agree. The NHL is almost half American with players allowed into Canada from almost every State plus the Euros coming back. You do know of the two NHL bubbles, right? That wasn't the issue at all. The feds didn't want to be involved & that was it.

In his hey day, Marty York was great for the CFL. He was always coming out with stories in the Globe & Mail about the CFL & scoops. The guy still loves the CFL but has no love for the other sports teams in Toronto, especially the Blue Jays. If we had more Marty Yorks in the national media this league would be in a lot better place on the Canadian sports landscape. The CFL certainly would be relevant in Toronto. I follow him on twitter.

Bottom line it doesn't matter where you live. If people don't social distance & wear masks then things can go south pretty fast. We've seen that this summer with the riots in the States, over 250,000 people in Sturgis, SD, Grand Beach being overcrowded & mostly young people not taking social distancing seriously & partying all across Canada no matter what province. Anyone who rants about having to wear a mask or that the virus is a hoax needs to have their heads examined.

Who is this quarterback? -
Ah, let's all go fishing in Manitoba. That always works to take the trials & tribulations away. however, we must remember to social distance.
