  1. Yet, somehow in your response you found xenophobia & racism? Now you're just over the top.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. And you say I'm overly dramatic? Take a look at you take before you criticize me.
  5. 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.
  6. Holy ….!
  7. Anson Mount is in Calgary this weekend for the Calgary Comic Con.
  8. My son played qb for the Rifles in 2009 & 10 & coached in the BCFC in 2016 & 2017 & he agrees with you that the better players & superior quality of play are in the PFC. The day trips analogy is absolutely true. Vancouver Island has 2 teams & Kelowna has the Sun. Those 3 could compete in the PFC but the rest can't. The community in Kelowna is 110% behind their team. The support is tremendous.
  9. Corbin just sucks the life out of any wrestling show that he's on.
  10. If they can support a team in Chilliwack certainly a team in Brandon should be doable.
  11. Having 2 separate brands doesn't work. Fans want to see the best talent in the ring on both shows. Same as on tv. Have 2 separate shows but have the best wrestlers on the WWE roster appear on both Raw & Smackdown.
  12. We don't upgrade at free agency. We seem to be losing out on players available to help us. I just wonder how much of that is money, players not wanting to come or stay here or Chevy himself. Is there too much faith in our core?
  13. Every player in the BCFC unless they had already been to another CFL training camp belong to the BC Lions. In Winnipeg, it's just the Rifles. Edmonton it's the Huskies & Wildcats. There's definitely unfairness in the system.
  14. Other than Stasny or Hayes the past 2 seasons, we can't or refuse to trade for better players. We can't sign the ones long term that we do. Do players hate Winnipeg that much as a place to play or is this failure the fault of the GM?
  15. Well there ya go. Maybe Daniels is still alive when Discovery arrives. (Temporal Cold War Future Guy).
  16. I think 34th. But I think the Discovery writers forgot about the Temporal Cold War.
  17. I hate Vegas as much as I do Anaheim.
  18. No connection to anything. They are far enough in the future that they aren't bound by Star Trek Canon anymore. They can make their own. Kind of an easy way out for the writers, if you ask me.
  19. Tilly just became annoying this season.
  20. Not bringing back Anson Mount to play Pike next season is a huge mistake. I'd also not feel bad if Discovery was somehow destroyed & the surviving or remaining crew merged with Pike's Enterprise & he took over as the new permanent Captain. There'd have to be a place for Saru but Number 1 is there. Anyway, it won't be happening anyway. Letting Mount go will form a huge vacuum. It's already apparent. They had a good thing going with Mount's Pike & poof he's gone.
  21. Did we need insight on Sulu & Checkhov in TOS? They just drove the ship, too. They both became beloved characters. So, I'd say yes.
  22. Am I the only one who has trouble following the storyline on each episode? A day or 2 later, I honestly can't tell you what happened. Discovery is the only show I have this problem with. The special effects are fantastic but there's so much going on that I find it hard to keep up. I wish they'd simplify the plot lines. Or slow the series down a bit for the benefit of viewers. Star Trek was always about social commentary & getting to really know the characters & we get very little of that with Discovery. Other than Burnham & Spock. IMO, I think that is what happens when the writers only have 13 episodes to get a very complicated storyline as well as complex characters in to a complete season. I think if they had 22 episodes the series would look totally different & have a different feel to it.
  23. I just remember seeing that Mo Eisley Cantina bar scene in the first Star Wars movie in 1977 & it blew me away.
  24. Some players looking for new contracts will probably be playing elsewhere next season. No way this group can stay together after the way they played. Especially late in the season & in the first round.
