Cynic.
When they employ someone like Hannity I sure am.

Canadas friendly marxists and election meddlers Leadnow found a willing partner.
Whenever I see something like this just days before an election red flags go up. I don't like Doug Ford but this just reeks of a hatchet job. I think a lot of voters will as well.

Yup they apologized. Also some of their commentators have stated that the whole "Spygate" thing is a crock. Perhaps Fox is turning a corner......
Sure. And the sky is purple.

Funny how the lawsuit came out now. Just a set up.

The only reason they would have been in an area where they could not be tracked is because they were flown off-course. Their flight path would have kept them in constant contact. And ofcourse, they were tracked for quite some time, turning off their flight path. That's the root of the mystery. Why did they fly in the opposite direction?
Anything can be found if enough time, effort, technology and money is dedicated to finding it. The plane is in the ocean. The ocean is vast. But they can find it.
Look at Air France 447. The ACARS was working (unlike MH) so they had a good idea of its last position. They found floating debris within a day. And it still took over a year to find the plane on the bottom of the ocean.
One aspect that points to deliberate action is, if you wanted to make it as hard as possible to ever find, you'd crash the plane where MH is believed to have crashed. Its basically the hardest place to find something.
Hopefully they keep looking.
Doesn't look like a fairy tale ending here... Time will tell.

I'm having flashbacks of the dark years where Burke would say "Everything looked good and we are almost there just need to make minor tweaks".....
Back in the mid 70's, Blue Bombers Head Coach Bud Riley used to infuriate Bomber fans in interviews by saying we played well but had a "few mental errors" that cost us the game. Riley said that all the time. I'm sure Bob Irving would remember that if asked. So much so that whenever Dieter Brock threw a pick, Jay Washington fumbled or Harry Walters whiffed on a tackle the fans in the stands at Winnipeg Stadium would start yelling, "Mental errors, Bud?" What Alex Ross said reminds me of that. It was like he was saying that he did okay but made a few mental errors. Eliminate the mental errors, Alex. This is your last shot.

For whatever reason I'm following CPL news waaaaay more than I thought I would....
- 2 weeks ago @stevensandor on twitter penned an article saying CPL required stadiums in which the CPL was the primary tenant. Since I've heard nothing to confirm, and neither he nor Freep people answer tweets, I have to think this was either a mistake OR more likely because of the shared ownership and/or CPL # of games in a season the soccer team would be IGF's "primary tenant".
- the name?! Cavalry FC is a rumored potential WPG name. It'll be someone's name, as the trademark is done. CPL Trademarks
FC Barcelona isn't just one of the world's most successful footy teams; they have basketball, roller hockey, ice hockey!, volleyball and beach soccer teams under the same ownership.
Flames own the Calgary Roughnecks (NALL), the Hitmen & the Stampeders.

I know. Who is Who was a tongue in cheek response to True Blue seemingly not knowing who would televise the game in English.... I mean the TSN announcement was all over social media.

To get back to discussing the missing Malaysian Airliner. I have an app on my phone called Flight Radar 24.It tracks each flight in the world in real time. In November of 2016 my son had travelled to New Zealand. I texted him before he left with his flight info on his flight back from Auckland to Vancouver. When his flight took off I was able to track it. About 3 hours later his flight just disappeared from the app on my screen. I was a little concerned but after an hour his flight reappeared only to disappear a half an hour later. Eventually the flight reappeared again but by that time I had gone to bed. Next morning I checked again & his flight was approaching North America. My point here is that the Pacific Ocean is so vast. There are areas where planes literally disappear for great lengths of time as there are no islands or no continents even close. It is so isolated that even with GPS technology the planes still disappear. To me, this is what happened. They were lost in an isolated part of the world over nothing but thousands of square klms of water with no land anywhere. Plus, if they veered off course & crashed, no amount of modern technology will find them if the aircraft went down in 35,000 feet of water which may have happened. If we can't find people lost in the bush on land in Canada how can we expect technology to find a lost plane over the Pacific or Indian Ocean?

You may be confusing "worrying" with feeling nauseous and depressed. Easy to do.
We had Justin Goltz who should have been a receiver as he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from 20 feet away but he had nice cuff links. We had Brian Brohm who should have been a ball boy. Then there was Robert Marve who needed two new knees. And finally there was Drew Willy who needed a shrink. All thanks to the pylons we referred to as offensive linemen.

As per 3downnation, a certain Regina sports writer is "reporting" that CFL teams are inquiring into the Riders' spare quarterbacks. In related news, a strong aroma of bovine excrement was noted in southern Saskatchewan today.
All those Rider qbs could start not only in the CFL but the NFL as well & be Pro Bowl players. Best damned 4 qbs in the history of the CFL. What awesomeness according to Pederson.

If they wanted an extra arm I think they could have grabbed an aged out NI, or a few try out guys. plus 5 arms is a lot. I think it was a reaction to the level of play mahoney brought. He was well behind at the hop.
I hope soo too. Though I kind of feel like he might be a guy who should have taken a college position change. Im a big fan of mobile qbs as your back up.
Some truth to that. With rookies / developmental guys for sure. Its not just consistency coaching though, its a chance to get their feet wet. When a game is a blow out in the 4th qt one way or another you need to use that chance to get a guy in. We havent done a good job of that in the mos era. And not just at QB.
Great teams develop talent. Good and worse teams have talent slip between their fingers or waste it. We were a bad team, and became a good team. Now we need to take the step up to becoming a great team.
No sense worrying about Elliott who was here five years ago. That ship has sailed.

And a favourite of mine:
Yeah, remember May of 80. It was a hot one. One month I'll never forget. I developed appendicitis early that month at work & had to have an appendectomy. I was off work for 3 weeks that month enjoying the sun & warm temps in my backyard with pay... on a medical leave because of it. I had a nice little holiday.

This sums up how I feel:
Voice370, a support group for family members of those aboard the flight, released a statement expressing their disappointment."Commercial planes cannot just be allowed to disappear without a trace," the statement said."Stopping at this stage is nothing short of irresponsible, and betrays a shocking lack of faith in the data, tools and recommendations of an array of official experts assembled by the authorities themselves."How can the world allow this plane to disappear and not continue to search until they find it? Its not like its on Mars. Its in the South Pacific. Map the entire Pacific Ocean if you have t. all it takes is time and money.No guarantees they'd ever find it. Looks like the Pacific or Indian Ocean swallowed it up. At it's deepest the Pacific Ocean is over 35,000 feet deep. Very difficult to map something thru so much water & topography as it would cause distortions. How much more can they do? Like Amelia Earhardt, despite many searches the past 80 years, her plane was never found. Private individuals & companies will continue the search for the missing airliner. It may ultimately become the biggest mystery since Earhardt.

If bennett was TCF, they would have kept him for the work out then not paid him or given him a contract. TCF also isnt a guy with much upside. Mahoney i could see as TCF.
Yeah, who knows why they brought him back... is it a serious opportunity or an extra arm for practice? Hopefully Bennett is given a chance this time.

Pretty much, and thats why i said it was a good example of us not giving a young qb a fair shake. Not saying he is the second coming of joe montana or any thing. Hes an excellent young talent.
That bryan bennett interview was great. Big time all around athlete at the qb position and a football player through n through. Id love to see him come in hungry and hell bent for leather with the denmark style chip on his shoulder. That realization of being out of football at his heels bringing out the best in him.
The term "training camp fodder" comes to mind here for Bennett & Apodaca.

Feel like CFL has gone to a pocket passing league. There is way more speed and athleticism on D now that that teams can nullify some of that adlibing. Have to be able play in the pocket and run when need be in today's CFL. Look at Bo Levi had three carries all last year
He says he is feeling much better physically this year & claims he plans on running with the football much more; With the stable of duds they have behind him, Dave Dickenson must be saying, "Please no..."

Fleurry was beatable against the Jets, he let in some soft goals. Now he's playing another team with plenty of fire power that isn't gassed from the previous round.
You must have watched a different series than me. I just saw Gumby don the pads & mask for Vegas & go in & make flukey saves others couldn't make. Then smirk afterwards. Gumby appears a bit stiff this series, Poor guy.

But they were about more than that. A good DL that follows their assignments can keep a scrambling QB in the pocket. If he can't beat them from there, he's toast. In this era, Mike Reilly is a good example of a QB who does both.
Those guys moved around. They had the most success not throwing from the pocket as they weren't tall enough to clearly see their passing lanes. They found ways to lose contain every game they played. Defenses couldn't stop them. Most DC's plan that their defenses will play 12 on 11 as most qbs stay in the pocket & barely run so there's not a lot of concern there. With the 3 aforementioned qbs they had to game plan 12 on 12 which is a problem believe me.

To me, guys like Flutie & Clements were great scrambling qbs but the most dangerous qb I ever saw play was Tracy Ham. The amazing things he did on the field... he was just scary good. He could beat a defense in so many ways... with his arm, legs, creativity & overall athleticism. As an opposing fan he broke my heart so many times when he was an Eskimo. He was so frustrating at times. Getting away from a sure sack & scampering for a first down or finding an open receiver downfield just left me screaming at the field from the stands or at my tv set at home. .

I don't like Ross's explanation. Not far off of a good game? He was 1 for 8. That's far from being close to a good performance. He better show he belongs.
