- Burke's entire defence is based around small and fast DBs... then he says to the media that if you're too small to tackle then you'll lose your job? Good OLs destroy small DBs... that's why most of the rest of the league is trending towards larger guys... we need to blitz.
Those running plays in the second half were mostly due to our DL getting manhandled at the point of attack. Any team that relies on their DBs to stop the run or get pressure on the QB is in pretty serious trouble, no matter how bloody big they are.

srsly?
maybe he's just working for MBB undercover...
I could tell you...but then I'd have to kill you...promptly

All I'm hearing in this thread, is a whole lotta "We're 1-3 right now..." .......easy to point fingers at something so ridiculous as "what Burke says in the media". If we weren't 1-3 to start, nobody would care a lick about what he says or how he says it. Christ, it's not that far removed from the stuff Kelly was saying in the media. I'll take Burke's "sometimes-too-blunt" honesty over Kelly being a ****, any day...
You think he'd be calling them immature if they were 3 - 1? Perhaps he needs to invest in a book cliches...
-
you do realize that the BBB is pretty much a scam and has no ower or ability to do a darn thing, right?
Yep, but at least someone other than me is contacting the company. At this point they're the only organization that has even attempted to help...I've e-mailed several.
-
That's the plan...I've also sent strongly worded e-mails and letters. Ironically for them, they've only got my school extension number. They won't even get my voice mail if they try calling over the summer.
That and a bit of annoyance from the BBB might be enough to shut them up.

I see that he lists "Bible-eating" as one of his talents. What is with these guys? If you really want to be "edgy" you'd eat a Koran. Now THAT takes courage.
Ha...well done KBF

I'm helping out a Nigerian Prince right now and when I get my cut of the gold he's entitles to I'll take care of a few of those invoices for you.
If that doesn't work out I'm also doing a mystery shop where they mail me a check and I wire the money out to test out Money Marts service. I get to keep the difference between the check amount and the wire so its a pretty nice payday.
I also just got paid for my car that was on kijiji via paypal, can you belive the guy offered me more than I wanted for it?
Very funny.

The problem you will have is that you really can't do shite all unless the company is in Canada.
It's similar to the telemarketing scams where old people give a crap load of money out to some shady off shore company... it's not like the RCMP or anyone in the Gov't can just easily fly out and retrieve your cash.
No retrieval needed....I just don't intend to pay any more. Hopefully a little heat from various places will result in them backing off.
From what I've read on line about these crooks, if someone keeps paying, they keep sending, inventing various excuses and phantom orders.
-
Why am I not surprised, Mark?
It's because the RCMP handle it federally...but so far I've only received an automated e-mail response from them.

Manitoba Consumer protection tells me this case is outside of their jurisdiction. Not so much because it's American, but because the product was purchased for a school.
They can only help individuals who have purchased products.
-
BBB is in itself kind of a scam. It can't actually do anything. Its like an advertising firm. The best they can do is give a bad rating or post that they have received adverse comments about the company.
They tell me they've contacted the business...and they have until July 29 to respond...so we'll see.
I'll keep y'all posted about it...should be a good learning experience.
Maybe if they're also contacted by consumer protection from Canada, they'll back off.

The offense is going to suck no matter who you have back there but there is no point in wrecking the backups this early in the season, the backups will get their shot probably by game 6 if things don't improve.
Watch the replays of the sacks. He actually has time to throw on most of them. On most of the blitzes his eyes are 15 - 20 yards down field instead looking for a quick outlet.
To me it looks like teams go into the first half expecting the Bombers have made adjustments for the blitz. When they discover they haven't, they simply pin their ears back and blitz all out in the second half.
-
The O-line wasn't incredible but they were giving Buck more than enough time to throw the ball. Any other QB gets 3 balls off in the amount of time Buck was taking before he got sacked. I can't think of more then one sack that wasn't entirely his fault.
Precisely

one of only 3 things i like about that town.
Wots duh second and turd?

You...shall not...PASS!

Als have a solid Defence this year for sure...
I'm kind of worried about our Run Game. Cornish was able to pick up 90 yards off 18 carries. Simpson was only able to pick up a paltry 55 yards off 14 carries.
Whats going on with our run blocking? Our O-line was solid with that last season. Hopefully they pick it up soon.
I didn't think run-blocking was all that great last season...teams were able to stop the run in situations where we needed it. That's why we had so much trouble closing games.

Some of those collection agencies are brutal. They don't care what the issue is, they just want the money. They'll harrass you at home and work.
The best advice is to never accept an offer over the phone from a company you've never heard of before, but I assume you're not interested in that advice right now.
How are they sending you this stuff? Is it just general mail, or is it something that can be traced?
There's a tracking number on the the invoice, yes...
-
What is going to happen if you just don't pay the invoice? At this point they are sending you merchandise you didn't order. Even if they go to a credit agency (I don't know if they will, seeing as how they are a scam), I'm pretty sure you could argue that. It might be less of a hassle then to keep messing around with them.
If you stop paying, they should stop sending you things.
I don't intend to pay another penny. I don't think there's really anything they can do, besides harass me over the phone. I've contacted MTS about blocking their number.
I've contacted consumer protection...I'll see what they do.
-
Thanks guys, I will try your suggestions. I could afford to pay the bill, trouble is I'm not sure I would be finished with them. They would just dream up some other invoice to stick me with.
-
Ouch that's brutal Mark, and yes this kind of crap can ruin anyone's summer. If you Google the name of the company, you'll find other people with the similar things that have happened with them. Seems to me you did everything I would have done. Contacting the BBB was a good idea.
Did that...they have scammed people for 1000's of dollars...from what I've gathered. Hopefully they won't be flying under the radar too much longer.
Their website does not list any employees...not even a president...nor is there ever a salesperson on the invoice.

i wouldn't be surprised if 7-11 wasn't bad coffee. I actually like MdDonalds coffee and will drink the grand and toy brand coffee we make at work before Tim hortons.
Yep, with one of their apple pies, works every time.
-
Has anyone else had any similar experience? Any advice?
This is pretty much ruining my summer.

Last fall, I received a call from a company called Kleritec. They were selling anti-microbial skin wipes; if I wasn't satisfied I could return them. Also, a bottle of blood stain remover would be free.
All good stuff to have in the Gym, so I gave them our school's mailing address...that's when the headaches started!
They sent 4 boxes of wipes, 100 per box, and an invoice for $246! The same stuff and similar products is selling on EBAY for less than $20 a box, with free shipping.
So I called them up and said I wanted a shipping tag to return the product. We can't possibly spend that kind of money on skin wipes. They said the shipping would cost $34. If I bought one box for $46 they would donate the other three to school.
I ageed, they sent an invoice and started calling me, asking for payment via credit card. No bloody way were they getting a credit card number from me...I paid the bill via money order.
All done, right? NOPE.
At the end of June I got another call from them. There were two bottles of disinfectant spray that were missing my previous order, which were also supposed to be 'free.' They would send an invoice, but that would be to make up the difference on the skin wipes. Wait a minute...didn't we agree to $46? Wasn't I already invoiced for that amount? And I never ordered any disinfectant spray. "Oh no, there's been a misunderstanding, they can't possibly sell me 4 boxes of skin wipes for $46." Oh no? But you did, and I paid.
I made it clear that I DID NOT want the spray, that I would send it back if they sent it to the school. "Why would you do that? It's free...give it to your athletes."
So...I received two bottles of disinfectant spray invoice for $181. Yup, they used the 'free' disinfectant spray to indirectly bill me for the skin wipes.
So, today I blew 20 bucks and sent the disinfectant and the blood stain remover back to them via UPS. I sent them a complaint e-mail (enough crap over the phone where nothing is on record) I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, they said their Los Angeles branch would process the claim and I would hear from them.
I have no idea what's going to happen next...

Ray can't seem to beat the blitz either.
At least he's getting the throws off and not getting rocked.

First someone has to stuff the Riders' running game. Sheets and their OL are keeping the D off the field right now. I dare say the key to beating that team is still forcing Durant to throw.
