Mark H.

Yup, he spent four years iirc behind Hamm before he started to play like a starter and them Trestman put him over the top. He spent 5 years with Don Matthews as coach before Trestman took over. No doubt he had huge success with Trestman, but he was already a super star and Grey Cup champion when Trestman came in. Thanks for filling in the blanks Rich. I just remember him before he became the starter for the Als and the transformation in his game was night and day. He did have a horrible GC record before Trestman though, something like 1 - 5 and was basically labeled a choker. Then Bellfool got hold of him and almost killed him and ended his career. He was set to retire until Trestman took over and basically pulled him together and rid him of the chocker label. The last point cannot be overstated. Calvillo looked like his career was over after the '07 season. This was due to all the hits he took in an MB offence. Trestman went with more quick hitters and max protect packages.

They took our stars!

The way Willy kept getting hit it was just a matter of time till he got too hurt to play...really. It's the same story, it was just a matter of time.

That's one thing I'm sure that organization doesn't care about

This is pretty much exactly what I thought was happening. He looked like he'd panic and run directly into trouble. Sure he may have a suitable amount of time but was his receiver open? He's trying to make something happen at that stage in the game, throwing into the stands wasn't an option. Single coverage was further downfield - I'm sure guys like Denmark and Moore can get open one on one.

Nice to see guys like Bobby Dyce get promoted

And boom goes the dynamite

JBR (who seems to know a thing or three about OL play) was vocally unimpressed by the Picard signing. Apart from Goossen who was obviously judged as unready to start, we had no real option at center other than looking for an import. Picard was worth a shot and I still maintain that he cannot be properly assessed until the rest of the line starts playing well. He's part of 'the rest' He's probably going to wind up on his rear end whenever he's 1 on 1 with a half-decent DT.

Who expected a Hamilton returner to stand like a statue and watch the ball bounce off his helmet?

Harper seems to be zeroing in on swing ridings. The same way Obama focussed on key electoral vote States during his last campaign.

The Israeli - Palestinian conflict: I don't get how anyone can be pro either side in that hornet's nest. 0.02

Decent game...we have hope with Marve

It's six of one and a billion dozen of the other. And 60% of the time it's going to work every time

Cool. I'm done

Maybe they do. But the fact that Blue Cross covers it and the Mayo Clinic acknowledges that it can be effective says something. I waded into this because I know people who have definitely been helped by homeopathy. For example, chronic bronchitis for which they were given prescription after prescription by the medical system.

Wanting federal money to support homeopathy is a big deal because it shows a willingness to waste public money on something with no benefit. The only effect it has is the placebo effect and there is no way quackery should be funded by the government. That the party policy supports this tells me that a vote for that party is wasted because it shows how poor their judgement is in a significant area. What else do they have these kinds of poor judgement on? FYI blue cross covers homeopathy. But I guess it's all a placebo effect just because you say it is.To be fair, most people say it is. How about medical professionals? The Mayo Clinic for example: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/in-depth/alternative-medicine/art-20045267

That seems strange. Why is she against WIFI?If she supports homeopathy in conjunction with traditional medicine no harm in that. Homeopathy actually does help some people. It has it's pros and cons just like anything else Well I mean it's essentially a placebo effect. Not harmful, but I wouldn't support spending taxpayer money on it. You should research further...

The bad joke to end all bad jokes... Q: what's the difference between a Rider fan and an elephant? A: A Rider fan is green Q: What did Ripper say when he saw a herd of elephants? A: Look, Rider Fans. (He's colour blind)

This is exactly why it's mind blowing that anyone thinks the NDP would be could economic managers. I guess when you hve no problem raising taxes it's easy to pay for everything. Depends - I think someone like Gary Doer would make a good Prime Minister. Jack Layton with some decent cabinet ministers would've had potential.

And those players are the key to good special teams play. Bringing in as many as you can is just a bloody good idea.

What the cuss?

As soon as we have some depth...
