  1. No receiver could shine in that LaPo offense. Look how Drew Wolitarski was just wasted for 3 seasons. I just hope that Buck Pierce isn't a clone. That he has some ideas to bust these guys out throwing the ball. And it isn't just business as usual. I want to see some 300 yard passing games & a couple of receivers make it to a thousand yards. Even though he won a GC as OC, I was so happy to see LaPo leave.
  2. For purely selfish reasons along with the fact my son & his wife live in the Seattle area, I'm hoping that Alaska Airlines comes back to Calgary as it was the only direct flight from Calgary to the Emerald City. It was cheap as well. Less than $300 Canadian return. They offered at least 3 flights a day & everytime we went it was packed. So, business was good. So convenient as it was barely an hour's flight. Now, who knows if Alaska Airlines comes back with this &*(%$#@< virus?
  3. Just to curb your enthusiasm, people… You know the Bombers record of recruiting game breaking deep threat receivers. I'm hoping that this was just a Lapo problem. Hopefully, we'll see.
  4. Read today on my phone that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds may not debut until 2022 or even 23. That there won't be one story arc for the entire season. That the series will be episodic. A beginning & an end to each episode. Anywhere between 10-15 episodes. It will also be going away from the more darker Discovery & Picard series. That it will be more optimistic in nature. Just making it episodic thus meaning easier & more simpler plots while delving into character development will truly make this show a hit.
  5. Hello West Nile. This is Corona. Wanna mate?
  6. And most people would say fine, shut the tv off. go to their device & check the score in 15 minutes without skipping a beat.
  7. Exactly. You could have a million viewers & it still wouldn't be enough.
  8. I advocated opening things up because obviously no one seems to care about the measures put in place to reduce the spread. Politicians talk but actions are louder than words. There is going to be a BLM demonstration in Innisfail, AB on Saturday. With the publicity it has received, I expect thousands of people will flock to that poor town of just 8,000. If there are any asymptomatic demonstrators there they'll bring in the virus with them. Well, now there's Jason Kenney who for months was telling Albertans to stay indoors. Yet, he announces that he supports the event even if the majority of the locals don't. They have been branded rednecks & racists by the MSM here in Canada because they were opposing it. Just typical redneck rural Alberta. I just see it as a hypocritical stance & it angers me a lot as it is unfair. Today, the MSM in the US has a number of stories about a second wave that has arrived. The Republican governors opened their states too early we're told so it's their fault & now they won't shut things down so we're told. Why should they when demonstrations continue? Much to the delight of MSNBC & CNN as well as Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper & Don Lemon's glee. That seems to be okay. Keep demonstrating, folks!! Not just Trump loves ratings. I just said the hell with it. I don't like what is going on but I won't stay in self isolation anymore. Thank God, Alberta has gone to Stage 2 Friday. What a totally ****** up world we live in.
  9. How can anyone who supports the ongoing demonstrations here & in the US criticize how things have been handled in America? Bad enough that they have a clown show in the White House with an absolutely lost President & his advisors who provides leadership like a guy going down a raging river on a raft without a rudder. Things are going too fast for Trump. Too many key issues to deal with simultaneously & he is unable to handle it. The Liberal MSM in the US keeps telling us about the second wave that is now here because Republican governors opened their States up too early too fast. To them, that was an evil thing those evil Republicans did but the 20 something Democrats. socialist, communist & progressive social justice warriors that just keep organizing demonstrations bringing tens of thousands people together during a pandemic everyday in close quarters clearly lacking social distancing is somehow okay & societally acceptable? To the progressive MSM these activist twenty somethings do the "good work" that needs to be done. Even though the spread of infections that these ongoing demonstrations will bring with more sickness & death in the coming weeks is somehow worth it. How many more deaths in the US are worth it? Two hundred thousand? Three, four or 500,000? A million? Two million??? Guess America will find out as it's federal & state political leaders seem to have lost their will to keep fighting the virus.
  10. Keep the Grey Cup there.
  11. That's okay though...
  12. Border closed to July 31st at the earliest.
  13. I like the idea of BC Place. But it would e dumb to play all the playoff games indoors then move the Grey Cup to Winnipeg the second week of December & it's minus 30.
  14. Way to Go, Trump.
  15. Here's the problem, Trump may have 92% of the Republican base but Joe Biden is sitting somewhere near 96% of the Democratic base. There are more Democrats in the US than Republicans so Trump would still lose the election if those numbers held. He can't win with just his base. And there is no growth for him with women & racial minorities. I don't have the stats in front of me nor can I find them so I can't comment further.
  16. Just because Trump has enough votes to win the nomination doesn't mean he'll get it. The GOP brass could decide they no longer support Trump as well as the committed delegates who could turn their votes over to another candidate in a "brokered" or "contested" convention. With Trump's popularity falling & GOP Governors, Mayors, Senators & Congressman seeing their futures in their home cities, states as well as Washington dimming, the Republicans could oust Trump in an attempt to save themselves. If that happened, it would be riveting television.
  17. Senators who were tough talking in the 2016 Presidential election like Marco Rubio & especially Ted Cruz were cowardly quiet about this tweet saying they have no comment because they pay no attention to nothing Trump says on twitter. Personally, I think Trump is done & he knows it. He sees his Presidency frittering away & his popularity dropping. . I just wonder if he'll survive the GOP convention. Would the Republicans replace him??
  18. Hamilton. If any city know what it's like to experience a three decades long championship drought it's us. So, we know the angst Ti Cats fans are going thru. That & the fact we loooove playing the Cats in the Grey Cup.
  19. Same boat as in we're all subject to the same restrictions. I can't speak for personal, monetary or socio-economic boats. I understand that Covid 19 is wreaking havoc in some Indigenous communities, for example. The Same Boat analogy was a generalized statement & not a personal one.
  20. We're all in the same boat. We all just want to get through this & go back to what life was like last Xmas.
  21. I'm trying to get along with everyone here regardless of their beliefs. I don't want to make this personal so, I'm not here to argue. Just to make my point as to why I'm disheartened & changed my mind. If people can understand my position then I'll make an effort to understand theirs. We're all friends here.
  22. Starting in January permanently??? Going to August??? What a dumb idea.
  23. Well, 2020 sucks.
  24. Sorry TUP. Not here to argue with you or anyone. Just saying how I feel. Two weeks ago any large gathering would have been described here as Covidiots & severely chastized. Now, with all the demonstrations it's somehow "more important" & worth it... as in risking multi super spreader events. As long as the covidiots are demonstrators then it seems acceptable. I & millions like me are crossing the road the other way. As in **** it.
