  1. Like Atlantic Canada that just can't compete anymore.
  2. Again, it's a numbers thing. If less kids play the sport in HS because Mom is terrified her child will scramble his brains, it won't matter about training better NI's, unfortunately. The talent pool is reduced.
  3. This is absolutely shameful. Progressives used to say don't vote for Harper as he has an "agenda". What agenda does Trudeau & the Fiberals have to cover this up?
  4. Football participation is down in community & high schools that feed CIS programs across the country. How are teams supposed to start 7 Canadians when less players play collegiately. that is going to have a negative impact in the years to come. Here in Calgary a number of high schools dropped their grade 10 JV teams last year & didn't finish the season. They just forfeited their games because they couldn't field enough players to safely play. How can you say it's lazy when the numbers are dropping?
  5. I always thought Harlem Heat was a great tag team.
  6. Well, they talk nice so far.
  7. I'm hoping after the election in October he'll be as extinct t as the last one.
  8. Wait'll the RedBlacks fans get a look at the craptastic qbs they have.
  9. It's Trudeau. There is nothing savvy about that snake.
  10. LOL. Johnny Rivers sings about a snake. Trudeau is The Snake.
  11. Enzo isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
  12. The only league other than the old AFL that could have given the NFL a run for its money would have been the USFL. Some cities were drawing fairly well. But then Donald Trump decided he wanted the USFL to become a fall league & compete directly with the NFL which probably would have been suicide anyway. When the USFL was awarded $1 in damages by a federal judge in the USFL's anti trust trial the league folded & Trumps hate was on for the NFL. I'm sure some owners like Trump wanted a merger of some kind but didn't get it.
  13. I remember the WLAF as it was called then. All teams were in the States. The attendance was... guess what?? Abysmal. (Some things never change). Moving to Europe extended the life of that league.
  14. It wasn't a bad idea but running a developmental league is expensive. It was much better run than the AAF.
  15. Bob Pickering Saskatchewan skip 1969 McDonald Brier who was famous for the big windup. When I was a junior player, I tried that once & almost killed myself coming out of the hack.
  16. hard to believe a Vulcan would get upset over comments like that meant to insult. I thought the comment "half breed" was so 1960's as it's a term that was common back then but uncommon now. A throwback to TOS.
  17. Hate the format of the Brier now. Two pools & a WC team. That's what I hate. Especially the WC team. No interest in watching anymore. I know you like the WC team but I feel if you can't get out of your province for the Brier then go back & keep curling in the pro tour. It's a very confusing format.
  18. Story today that the NFLmay loan the AAF some qbs. I wonder what player safety & the NFLPA think of that? I doubt if they'd let this go through. The league is absolutely incapable of standing on its own.
  19. Wait. Let's meat up & talk about this. You look extra scrumptious today.
  20. It'll finish the season & then probably evaluate for next year. They are facing competition with the XFL.
  21. Bob Swift was Canadian. A broken leg in the 64 Grey Cup probably was a blessing in disguise as once he converted at first to guard & then found a home at center he became a mainstay on the Argos & then Blue Bombers OL. Swift mentored Bonk as he was his backup at center before he retired after the 77 season. Bonk just stepped in & the change was seamless. Bonk started his career in Hamilton in 1972 & was traded for Defensive Halfback Peter Ribbins prior to the start of the 1973 season. Bonk played linebacker for the Cats & Bombers before switching to Center with the Bombers replacing Swift. Bonk is my first choice but Swift was a helluva Center & would be my #2 choice. All I can say is Don Jonas, Dieter Brock & Tom Clements never had to worry about the man snapping the ball to them.
  22. The telepathic aliens & Veena from the Menagerie, wow. That was a major surprise. I need some kind of explanation regarding Captain Pike who was horribly disfigured & in a wheelchair. He was supposed to be living on Talos 4 where he was under the illusion (from the aliens) that he & Veena were happy & healthy. Yet, we see Pike functioning & healthy as Captain of the Discovery. I thought Pike's injuries were still in the future & not already happened. So, is his good health an illusion?
