Anyone happen to see Another Life & if you did what are your thoughts? It's been renewed for Season 2...
-
The problem is if you see a Rider one you & you're wearing a mask then you could suffocate when you swallow your vomit.

Semantics, man. Not given a fair chance to play vs unfairly cut aren't much different as blame is being pointed at the Bomber organization. I don't know what your point is here. You're the one saying Simonise didn't get a fair chance & then you turn around & say you don't know what went on behind closed doors or at practice. So then, how can you make a statement that it was the Bombers who weren't fair to Simonise? They saw him everyday, his commitment & work habits. Being released by two CFL teams in back to back years say it's a little more than that.

Most PPE's are going to front line health care workers. There's a shortage from my experience.

Thought you said he didn't get a fair chance here? Now you're saying he wanted to go back home.? So again, it was his decision derailing his career. Are you posting on Lionbackers saying he didn't get a fair chance with the Lions as well?

He did get a chance. He failed to take advantage of it so end of story. He got all kinds of chances wherever he went. Are we going to get Jade Etienne's family here as well saying he didn't get chances either?

He's been cut by the Bengals, the Bombers & the Lions. How can you say he hasn't had any real opportunities? One NFL & 2 CFL teams gave him opportunities. He had an opportunity with the Dinos but blew that when he was ruled academically ineligible to play for the Dinos. That would definitely raise a red flag by any pro team. If a player isn't disciplined to put in the time to study in university then how can he be expected to be disciplined to learn the intricacies of an NFL or CFL playbook? After dropping out of university he failed a drug test & tested positive for a banned substance when he was at the Bengals training camp. Then his CFL draft year deferred to 2018 from 2017 because of it. In a real head scratcher, after being cut by the Bengals he went to play junior ball with the Okanagan Sun. How would playing against mostly kids a year or two out of high school make him a better player after going to an NFL camp? Why not sign with an Arena League team or stay in the US to train & get better?? Still he got drafted by the Bombers even though he never dominated as a junior player with the Sun. The he was cut by the Bombers after 2 seasons here & last season with the Lions. To me, all this falls on the player & not the teams who cut him. Simonise decided himself to take the long & hard road to the pros. It didn't have to be that way so it was his decision. He was given chances. In some cases more than one. It' was up to Simonise to take advantage of what was given him. Looks like he didn't. Bad decisions played a part. Maybe the reality is he wasn't good enough.

Flames have Calgary Sports & Entertainment Corporation is owned by a multi billionaire Murray Edwards. Similar to MLSE they own the Flames, Hitmen, Stamps & Roughnecks. They'll be okay. I worry about the Lions & Als. New owners who never banked on a pandemic when he bought the team.

That would be a 14 hour drive for me... 😉

2019-20 Grey Cup Champs Off-season discussion.
SpeedFlex27 replied to Wanna-B-Fanboy's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Allen won 3 Grey Cups with 3 different teams. He threw for over 72,000 yards, was the GC MVP in all 3 wins plus he won the CFL's MOP Award in 2005. How does an overrated qb do that? -

You realize you have to be pretty old to get that joke. The Millennials here are going, "WTF is he talking about?" Lol.

So, I don't know how governments expect people to wear masks on planes, at the airport, transit buses or trains. Or where people have a tendency to have problems social distancing. When hoarding is going on. We've all seen people wearing masks & I thought okay I'll buy some & start wearing it in public but sure, right... None to be had in Calgary at the places I called.
-
Try finding a mask anywhere. Everyone is sold out & can't say when the next shipment will arrive.

Without having to search for it, what did you say?

Amazing that we're here debating democracy vs an autocracy.
-
Liberals didn't win the last election. They just got more seats in a minority government which means Trudeau doesn't have the political right or moral authority to decree a ban on guns unilaterally. Debate it in the H of C in the form of a Bill & pass it using the same democratic tools always used. That would be to pass First, Second & Third readings in the House by convincing the other parties to support the bill as we are in a minority. Then send it to the Senate for approval & finally Royal Assent by the Governor General. Otherwise, what's the point? I'm not debating the merits of the ban. Just how it was done It's wrong.

Since Sweden was mentioned today, sadly it looks like the chickens have come home to roost. Click on the link below: https://nypost.com/2020/04/28/sweden-records-deadliest-week-of-century-after-resisting-lockdowns/?fbclid=IwAR3a_sHOq5fk8r5V8id0n3R9Bl5NaY1exHpDXR8U2P1N5BvGjqWIMO8D_Io

I think it's pretty clear what he wants to do.
-
Bad guys will always have guns. Good people? Defenseless. Hunters & farmers are the bane of Canada.
-
He wants to ban all guns so the definition doesn't matter.
-
I don't trust Trudeau as far as I can throw a 45 kg rock.

When democratic governments start taking shortcuts like this without any debate then we're in big trouble. What if Trudeau decrees that all vaccines are mandatory? Or that general elections are suspended because of the virus? Once the Genie is out of the bottle it is a dangerous precedent. Allow debate in the HOC. What does it do? Slow the process by a few days or a week??
