Yeah, immigration enforcement is causing tons of problems in the States right now. Crops are not being harvested because the workers are arrested or are afraid they're going to be arrested. (or is this the good kind of government intervention?)

I am not an economist and I'm not a savvy reader of economics papers, but I think their reasoning is that the data is easier to work with if certain classes of people are excluded.

What have we here, laddie? Mysterious scribblings? A secret code? No! Poems, no less! Poems, everybody! The laddie reckons himself a poet! Absolute rubbish, laddie. Get on with your work.

Finally getting around to reading this. It's interesting that the study excludes people who work at chain stores ... McDonald's, Starbucks, Wal-Mart, etc. That's a sizable hunk of data to discard -- a huge minority, if not a small majority, of minimum-wage workers work for such places. It's hard for conclusions about "the average low-wage worker" to be credible when they've excluded such a large population.

Mike Kelly is an interesting case. If he hadn't canned Glenn and utterly horked the offence, I think his bombers were a playoff team that year. Mike Kelly was not the worst HC, but he was a brutally bad OC and made some giant boners as a GM. yes, Tim Burke was a terrible coach ... but consider that during the 2013 season our best starting QB option was Max Hall, our starting Canadians included Poblah, Etienne, Tyson Pencer, and Cauchy Muamba. Shannon Boatman was a starting tackle for much of the season. Don Matthews couldn't have won with that team. Burke gets a bit of a mulligan from me based on how badly Joe Mack ****** this team. Also, Burke had a better record than Reinebold with a worse team. So I'm gonna go Reinebold on this one. Zaleski was before my time and I kinda missed the Rogers year. It was my first summer of university and I spent it drunk.

Thing to be worried about is that Glenn and co put up 40 on our D with only one takeaway. Gonna be interesting to see how we fare against BLM and the other premium QBs in the league.

New Mosaic Stadium & Investors Group Field

Yeah, the TSN shots from the corner seats made the field look really distant. -
CFL 2017 season to be livestreamed in more than 130 countries
johnzo replied to Fatty Liver's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
great to hear! I'm pretty sure a Canadian card will work, I don't think the CFL cares about where the money is coming from, just about where the video is being shown, so Canadians abroad like yogi should be okay. -
If you're gonna use a free online stream then keep your computer updated and back up your personal data. Put it somewhere offline, like in a disconnected flash / usb drive. Do not watch streams on a laptop containing your only copy of your thesis / Great Canadian Novel / genre-defining metal song. There is so much nasty malware out there these days ... we've had two unprecedented ransomware attacks in the last month, and it's going to get worse before it gets better (if it ever gets better)

yeah, Dressler was like five yards deep in the endzone when 45 dragged him down. That was some Sam Losco level greasy there. Hope Demski is okay. Hate seeing promising young guys go down like that.
-
Actually thought Glenn had a slight edge on Nichols. Glenn had to deal with far better coverage than Nichols. The Riders secondary looked drunk during our big rally. And Glenn looked pretty savvy extending plays outside the pocket. We scored 6 on Glenn turnovers, they scored 7 on Nichols' one pick. Does Dressler have a new second gear this year? On that fly sweep in the third he looked way faster than I remember. Guy was really moving.
-
I've never seen a team crush the pocket like we did last night .. and repeatedly allow the QB to escape, extend the play and throw. Glenn looked pretty pocket savvy. Our ends really didn't cover themselves in glory ... repeated roughing the passer calls, one during the critical moment in the fourth ... and I was really surprised that Westerman didn't get flagged for a pile-on/late hit on Glenn after one of our sacks. Loved that Jake Thomas sack, tho.
-
Suitor put the Denmark endzone miss on Denmark, said he didn't run his route at full speed. There was also that stretch where the Riders solved our protection and were burying Nichols -- they had 3-4 sacks in a couple of drives. I think it was around the time that Hardrick got hurt. That cooled Nichols down some. But yeah, I agree with the OP: Games like the one last night and the Western Final definitely put that game manager tag into serious question.

I love writing that works on multiple levels.

2017-07-01 Winnipeg at Saskatchewan Jones' substitutions confuse his secondary. Clever is not smart.
-
just watching the game now, I said it last year, I said it during preseason, I'll say it again: man, does the Fever look awkward out there.

2017-06-30 Montreal at Edmonton The Als' only hope: give ball to Tyrell Sutton on every down

cfl.yaretv.com plus a VPN that makes me look like I'm in the Netherlands. US$80 (less than one dollar a game, counting playoffs) for the whole season plus US$10/mo for the VPN. Not free, but way cheaper than cable and more reliable than a stream. Been loving it. Wrote my own little PVR program for it so I can skip the TSN commercials. Quality is decent ... 720p resolution tho it looks a little blotchy, like it's been badly upconverted at some point.
