The Kelowna Mayor yesterday telling outsiders to stay away like somehow it's always vacationers who bring the Covid virus in. Like none of the local yokel teens & twenty somethings that live there don't party, all social distance & wear masks. There are 150,000 people in Kelowna. Ya think it's possible Kelowna residents who travelled also brought the virus back with them??? I hate politicians like that looking for scapegoats.

Someone said that they're surprised Edmonton didn't have a name ready to go. They did this deliberately. They do have a name. They want to sell new merch. They want to spread this out... Give New Era a chance to bring in new clothing.

What does that have to do with the rest of the team? No reach at all. Hey, come at me with something to argue about. Not something to ***** about. Then we'll talk.

Troy Westwood misses 3 out of 4 FG's in 2001 Grey Cup. He had a career 72.3% success rate as a kicker. Justin Medlock is a career 86.5% CFL kicker. He played a long time & I always wondered why the team never drafted anyone to challenge him or even take his job. His majn claim to fame is naming a football game.

Yes, because different ownership. Jim Speros sold the team to Robert Wettenhall after a year. More than half the team changed when they had to play 17 Canadians instead of a team made up of all American players.

She needs to be given the boot but our PM as always will do nothing.

I tried watching it & I turned it off after a few minutes. Why was it called Perry Mason? The reboot has nothing to do with the old show that I remember watching with my family as a kid. (We only had one black & white television with only 3 channels). The characters aren't the same. The old show was based in the 50's & 60's because it was made in the 50's & 60's. They have it set in the 30's & 40's. I'm sure Perry Mason was practicing law in the 1930's but he'd have been fresh out of law school. The show's name is like click bait on social media. The headline grabs you but after that? Not much.

Humans are stupid. It's a wonder we got to where we are on the evolutionary scale.

Thanks for saying that as I really do appreciate it. I like to talk about the Old Days for sure. In the era that Damon Allen played, we had starting qbs who moved around a lot. Maybe even more than today. Although the off season between 2018 & 19 was a busy one for free agent CFL qbs. The 2013-14 off season was a busy one as well with the RedBlacks coming into the league as an expansion team drafting Kevin Glenn from the Stamps then signing Henry Burris as a free agent, Zach Collaros leaves Toronto to sign with Hamilton & Drew Willy signing with the Bombers. Let's look at QB movement in the CFL back some 25-30 years ago when Damon Allen was in his prime. In the early to late 90's, Danny McManus went from Winnipeg to Edmonton to Hamilton. Matt Dunigan went from Edmonton to BC to Winnipeg to Birmingham to Hamilton. Tracy Ham went from Edmonton to Baltimore to Montreal. Kent Austin went from Saskatchewan to BC to Toronto to Winnipeg. Tom Burgess went from Ottawa to Saskatchewan to Winnipeg back to Ottawa & then finally back to Saskatchewan. Damon Allen went from Edmonton to Ottawa to Hamilton back to Edmonton to Memphis to BC & finally to Toronto. With the number of starting qbs constantly on the move, teams could almost pick their starting qbs from a pool of impressive players. To me, unrestricted free agency has had a huge effect on players staying put or moving around. Teams looked at it it like, "Okay, Damon Allen wants X amount of dollars... What does Matt Dunigan want? Or Tracy Ham??" In the 90's & 2000's players cashed in on great seasons so they almost always signed two year deals. I still say that money was THE MOTIVATING FACTOR for qbs leaving their respective teams back then. Especially for the US CFL teams with Allen, Dunigan & Ham all signing in the States away from their Canadian teams in 1995. It meant signing for US dollars rather than Canadian which was a 30% raise with the exchange all on its own & not have to pay both Canadian & American income tax. Back in the 90's, the Canadian dollar had fallen to around 65-70 cents US.

More like a fake news headline.

At my age I can remember my U of M student number from 40 freaking years ago. Do you can think I can remember what I need at the grocery store as soon as I walk in???

How about ridiculously stupid. And the Mayor of Portland just lets this bullshit go on. I wonder how taxpayers feel about that?

When all that's left to do is just ignore everything by saying it's all fake news. 😉

It seems some people in Manitoba are getting worked up about 18 new cases. Most jurisdiction are praying they have that low a number. That is virtually nothing.

No, just one cheque which is why Republican brains are vapid.

Well, we can't answer accurately until we get to the other side. It was the second wave that killed the majority of people in 1919 during the Spanish Flu pandemic.

I personally don't think community ownership would work in Toronto. They have some owners with deep pockets with MLSE. Braley is a disaster in BC. He was a good owner in the 80's & he seems to be stuck in a time warp. The Lions were community owned until the 80's. It might still work there.

No kidding.

Allen did what all players do. There is unlimited free agency in the CFL & there was back when he played. He moved from team to team for more money. It had nothing to do with him not being any good, uncoachable or overrated. It had everything to do with being paid as much as he could get. Just like any CFL veteran player wants. As far as me using one argument, I assume you mean stats. Well, stats don't lie & they don't play favourites. If you play like **** then chances are your stats will be ****. How many qbs do we know put up great regular seasons but choke in the playoffs??? Allen saved his best for the playoffs & Grey Cups. That's what the stats tell me. That is their story.

One cheque $1200 in April. Yep, Americans are just livin' in the tall grass off that money. Republicans are all brain dead.

They pay the bills & that is it. They have no interest in investing in a new stadium for the Stamps. About a year ago there were rumours that a group of investors wanted to bring in a MLS team to Calgary for 2026. It would have involved building a new stadium of about 30,000 seats. Perhaps CSEC would partner with them to get a new football/soccer stadium built. Since then crickets with Covid. Wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing is now dead.

You'll get your answer in about 6 months with winter fast approaching.

I have no problem with a vaccine. I'd even volunteer for a clinical trial.

The question no one wants to address. What if the pandemic is still going strong in 2021 & there's no vaccine? Pro sports along with vast sectors of our economy will be devastated.
