What does our PM making an ass of himself mixing up China with Japan have to do with white nationalism? Stupid is as stupid does.

His father Charles owned the Alouettes/ Concordes as well.

Yeah, agree with that about OTC but football players know more than they let on, I believe. They all want to get bigger, stronger & faster. Some aren't prepared to put in the work in the weight room & will take shortcuts. When my son played for the Rifles back in 2009 & 10 he told me stories about the lengths some players went to avoid the random pee tests they were subject to.

My son developed a pretty serious health issue his senior year at SFU where it required ongoing medication to control & 3 years later he is still on permanent medication to control it. Well, his doctor wanted to prescribe a certain kind of medication when it was first diagnosed but was unable to do so because that particular medication was on the NCAA banned substances (performance enhancing drug) list. Well, his physician tried other medications but they never worked as well as the one banned would have so he was constantly changing things up trying to find something that worked. As a result, it affected his performance on the field & he didn't have as good a season in his senior year that he did in junior. Physically, he never felt 100% all season. He was stressed out all season & worn down physically. Had he been able to use the proper prescription he would have felt much better. It's crazy how the NCAA controls players to the point of putting their health in jeopardy. Today, he is on the prescription that was banned & feeling much better. That's why I find it hard to believe that a player claimed he didn't know he was taking a banned substance & Lalji just believes him. The SFU doctors & training staff knew exactly what players could take & what they couldn't.

And you know this how?

If the wrestlers are unhappy Malenko left then it is a big deal.

Sorta like every old white guy (anyone over 45) is a racist.

And so you should.

Wonder if Lions fans would have been so happy the day Reilly signed if they knew they'd lose Elimimian? I'm willing to say no.

I can understand Malenko leaving. What he been in the business, 30 years of crushing travel & scheduling? I hope he has some semblance of a home life with family.

Hoping Anson Mount gets a Pike series. That would generate huge excitement if it came to pass. If any actor was meant to sit in the Captain's Chair on Enterprise right up there with William Shatner & Patrick Stewart, it's Mount.

I'm supposed to have a knee replacement done in the next few months. It would be cool to go to this game if it is played in Winnipeg & I'm physically able.

Considering the CFL's record on how they handle PED's it's kind of ironic they force the players out of the draft. Yet Quinn Smith & others were suspended by U Sports & it didn't matter. They were suspended from playing Canadian college yet the CFL didn't honour Smith's suspension. I know they have made changes since. Hard to believe also that Farhan Lalji believes a player he knows when he tells him he had no knowledge. That I find hard to believe. My son played at SFU & he knew as well as the physicians & trainers on the team which drugs were banned & which weren't by the NCAA.

It was announced weeks ago that Regina was out due to the Riders not wanting the game. It could go to Edmonton.

Why are you still in this Xenophobic kick? There are NHL fans that are Xenophobic. NFL fans that are. MLB & NBA fans.... People who don't like sports that are Xenophobic. I bet more than a few Xenophobes are going to watch the Avengers: End Game tonight all over the world. So folks in Calgary are Xenophobes but not Winnipeg. Can we just can this conversation now???

Any rumours about the NFL game in August between the Raiders & Packers?

Fair point but I think fans are starting to wonder what is going on & are concerned that training camps won't get started on time. I know that I am. As a fan, I want to see the players get treated fairly. I don't like the fact that Ambrosie doubled down the previous Commissioner's directive not to pay off season bonuses due to players. I think a lot of fans see that as money owed contractually & therefore should have been paid. I think most fans don't want to see the ratio reduced to 5 Canadian starters. I believe fans don't understand this CFL 2.0 initiative nor has it been explained very well. The Players should have come to the table in January instead of delaying it to mid February & the CFL shouldn't have delayed talks 3 weeks this month for reasons no one understands. This has been a very convoluted off season. Hopefully, things get back on track bargaining wise.

Yet, somehow in your response you found xenophobia & racism? Now you're just over the top.

Colin, you're full of ****. Actually bullshit. Left wing progressives will find racism wherever they look whenever they have nothing else to talk about. It must be a gift.

Says the man who ******* because he would rather read than watch a video & rants about it here? Like we care. Must be an Alberta thing. You're fitting in quite nicely as you age.

And you say I'm overly dramatic? Take a look at you take before you criticize me.

If labour piece isn't reached before a strike I think you can consider Randy Ambrosie's term as Commissioner a huge failure & I would hope he is asked to leave when his contract expires. The league withholding bonuses due in the off season as well as the frustrating delay of 3 weeks in bargaining this month has hurt Ambrosie's credibility with fans & players. I really don't know of many who either like him or think he is doing a great job. It's one thing to hate Gary Bettman but the NHL is 50 times bigger than the CFL. Fans will boo Bettman but still attend games. With the CFL, the league is much smaller. If fans are angry at Ambrosie, it's because he isn't doing a good job, they don't feel a connection to him any longer & he's messing with something we feel belongs to us. That is ours. A part of our own. That's a pretty sleep slope to maneuver if the CFL chooses to go down it. The other thing I find frustrating is Ambrosie & the CFL bargaining committee should have said to the Players Association to roll up their sleeves as we're going to keep meeting until we get a deal instead of just Monday & Tuesday. It's like they're not taking any of this seriously.

Holy ….!

Welcome to my world...
