Very few families have not been touched by the ravages of alcoholism. Even if you have not inherited the genetic predisposition towards chemical dependency, there are behavioural tendencies usually get installed in the offspring- like guessing what is normal in life, being either super-responsible or super-irresponsible, impulsiveness, etc, etc.

That happened to my father in the 1960's.  A cop noticed him driving erratically but never pulled him over. They followed him home & he narrowly missed our fence pulling into the driveway. Cops gets out & tells my father if he had hit the fence he'd have been charged with drunk driving. He never gave him a ticket even though he was inebriated. Just one more day in the life of my late father. I loved him so much but he was so lucky with his driving over the years. Never had an accident or a ticket. But what heartbreak our family suffered with him because of his alcoholism.  My mother was the strongest person I have known. She kept her marriage & our family together through all that chaos.  It also is hard to cope when you're a 10 year old & you realize the man you admire the most in life is an alcoholic & is different from all the dads your friends have. Just makes me sad thinking about it. 

Skunk always reacts by laughing when he is criticized which means one thing. He is nothing but a troll & is only here to be a troll. 

Now we see why he was banned on the other Bomber site.

BLM may not be as good as we thought. He isn't exactly putting the team on his shoulders, is he? For a guy in the running for the MVP award Mitchell looked like nothing close to it. And their secondary was awful all game long. Collaros wasn't hurried much either.

Mitchell will make more money in the CFL than he would in the AAFL. I'd think he's looking at $600,000 a year two year deal under a new CBA if he comes back.

Especially if we re-sign him.

Trestman doesn't like Franklin from everything I've read. He's not a Trestman guy, apparently. But MBT is so bad he was forced to play Franklin again. So, the question is.. Is Franklin a flash in the pan or is it the system he plays under? 

He was tough. Always shrugged it off in like 15 seconds. They don't make Private Eyes like that anymore.

Even Krekor knew he'd have to make a name change.

I used to have a lot of respect for Hughes. Classy Stamps player but if it was all about the sack numbers in Calgary it seems that's all he's totally about now. He disappears for entire games now if he doesn't pressure the qb & when it comes to stopping the run. And now, this. Lost a ton of respect for him. Even his quote today about having support & people rallying behind him to help him get through this. Dude, just doesn't get it. This ain't about anyone helping him cope. It's about  being stupid & putting other people lives in danger. I'm sure a couple of sacks will put things right. 

Stop.  just stop.  your stance and view of this is off.  it's ok to be wrong..

I would feel the same way if it was a Bomber who did it. I grew up with an alcoholic father. I saw stuff that most people haven't.  Absolutely no sympathy from me for anyone who drinks & drives. Puts others at risk.

Why is Rod Black still employed?

Maybe the Rider Prez stepped in. Anyway, one game is better than none. Our league is pretty effed up at times.
