This.

Tootoo's not but he said it isn't offensive. The message I take from him is that he wouldn't change it. To me, 10% are making 90% of the noise. It's always like that.

Jordan Tootoo a racist?

Jordan Tootoo said he had no problem with the name Eskimo. He said older people were comfortable with it. Don't find it offensive. Neither does he

Both great players.

Cherry made Ron Maclean. Before CC he was just a young CBC sportscaster from Red Deer that nobody knew or cared about. Cherry made MacLean wealthy as well because his show was so popular & he rose up through the CBC ranks on HNIC because of it. Conveniently he saved his ass over Don when the chips were down. I think Cherry's time had come but Maclean went & saved himself. When Cherry went on his "You People" rant there was MacLean sitting in silence & nodding his head yes.

No, the story I heard was it was a new Air Force plane in the 30's. But even if it was names after Joe Louis that won't stop the snowflakes from making it all about destruction, killing & war. We know that.

I could tell you guys the whole story about Greg & Tyler. And what he meant to many young qbs & their families in the 30 plus years he coached. But I don't want to bore anyone which is why my post is so brief.

From what I remember Juran Bolden was just an asshat all week.

Belair can go pound sand.

Ha ha. What I said was certainly hyperbole & useless rhetoric. The snowflakes won't bother to look up terms. They just know it hurts them so.

Never have I seen a colleague throw his friend under a bus faster than Ron MacLean to save his skin. What a snake.

True, Grapes was a Winnipeg chain & closed its doors for good in July of 2010. Don Cherry owns Don Cherry's Sports Grill with locations across Canada. Since he was turfed last November from Sportsnet, I don't know how that has affected his restaurants.

I put the 2001 loss square at the feet of Dave Ritchie. One hundred per cent his fault. He let his players carry on & mouth off all week & it cost them on GC Sunday. Never should have lost to the Stamps but they trash talked, preened & bad mouthed their way out of winning that game. Meanwhile disrespecting a team with a lot of proud veterans playing for it. I still get angry thinking about it.

Empire means oppression. People conquered & oppressed by another. Offensive. Both England & France conquered vast tracts of land in Canada, South America & Asia. It is a sign of white oppression. Spain & Portugal in South America. Europe was a continent of racists that conquered vast continents with their Empires. White entitlement. White oppression & White settlers. Blue Bombers. Offensive. Named after an aircraft that reigned down terror, death & destruction from the skies onto civilian & military targets below. Snowflakes would demand Winnipeg change it's name. They would say that anything associated with war is offensive. That any team that is named after a war time bomb dropping flying machine should be banned. Roughriders... Offensive. Teddy Roosevelt's Roughriders. He was key in American aggression, expansion & oppression in Panama, Cuba & the Phillipines in the 19thy century. On top of one of his famous sayings. "Walk softly & carry a big stick". He also said that he didn't think that every good Indian was a dead Indian but nine out of 10 were. And that Phillipinos were nothing but Chinese half breeds. How long until the snowflakes demand that Saskatchewan change their name? Stampeders & Cowboys. Offensive. They are racist as they went to war with the First Nations in the US & are a symbol of White Supremacy. Cowboys also treat animals like horses & cattle cruelly. (See Calgary Stampede). How long until Snowflakes demand Calgary & Dallas change their names? So many words. So many words offensive.

So, you're actually going to compare Sean Salisbury to Dunigan? That's not really a comparison. It's an insult. Dunigan was a 2 time CFL Western All Star, 2 time East Division All Star, 1 time CFL South All Star, 3 time All CFL All Star & CFL Tom Pate Memorial Award winner (1989). The Tom Pate Award is selected by the CFLPA & it is awarded to a player who shows strong leadership & sportsmanship on their team. So, it is very much an award of his peers across the CFL. Dunigan was a 2 time Grey Cup winner. He threw for 43,857 yards, 303 TDs & 211 interceptions. He rushed for 5.031 yards on 850 carries for a 5.9 yard average & another 77 touchdowns. He had a hand in 380 touchdowns as a runner & a thrower. Yes, Dunigan was an elite player. So, were Austin & Archer who had phenomenal seasons.

For purely selfish reasons, this is my favourite Non Bomber player. Greg Barton. The former Philadelphia Eagle, Detroit Lion, Toronto Argonaut & Portland Storm (World Football League) qb. Not because of anything he did on the field but for what he did for my football playing son nearly 3 decades after Greg retired from pro ball to Portland, Oregon. Over the years, Greg transformed Tyler's throwing style from that of a Tim Tebow long windup with different release points on every throw to a quick, compact & efficient delivery with a constant release point. That took years of practice & patience to accomplish. There was no one in Calgary to teach throwing fundamentals to kids when my son played. Anyone that could wasn't interested in doing so. Therefore, we went down to Portland for Greg's tutelage at least twice a year for about a week at a time for over a decade starting in 2003. Greg passed away a year ago this coming August.

Calvillo did win 3 Grey Cups. I'd gladly take that if Collaros wins 2 more.

Yes he did.

I remember a fan had a Fire Joe Mack facebook page where he ranted about him all day, everyday. Pure entertainment.

The number 713 says hello.

I saw more than a few Covidiots yesterday.

And yet, we constantly see Americans refusing to social distance. Tens of thousands at the beach. Or in some huge crowd down there. They don't seem to care so it gives politicians like Trump & DeSantis the courage & entitlement to do what they do. It's happening here as well. Yesterday my wife & I drove to Kananaskis Country outside of Calgary. There were thousands of people in picnic & camping areas. In 30 years living in Calgary & visiting K Country, I have never seen hundreds of vehicles parked on the shoulder of the highway as the parking lots were absolutely jammed. We didn't even get out of our car. We just turned around. I hear that Grand Beach has been packed as well. So, just proves Canadians are just as STUPID as our American neighbours.

The enemy wasn't Bobby Dobbs as we owned the Stampeders in the Western Finals in the 60's as they couldn't beat us. It was really Jim Trimble. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube+hang+down+your+head+jim+trimble&docid=607989918066214011&mid=485B452DFD4F4653BC69485B452DFD4F4653BC69&view=detail&FORM=VIRE

I'm not against their name as it is but I doubt if the conversation was ever, "Should it be changed? It was always about reasons why it shouldn't.
