I have respect for Cheney's stand, but her dad's war was a huge reason why we are where we are today. They are reaping what they sowed. I think Trump made a lot of hay among voters with his consistent stance against dumb foreign wars, and he kept that promise while in the white house. Zero dumbass wars is a good record for a Republican administration. To me, that is positive progress from Bush Jr, who thought he was a Roosevelt who could bomb the world into a peaceful state. note that I suspect that Trump was isolationist because an isolationist America benefits Trump's daddy. But to Americans who were pissed off about expensive, tragic, and useless military actions, Trump's record looks pretty good here. the one good thing about the Trump administration was seeing the worst people be abused by the worst boss.

man, even at 9-1 bye weeks are miserable. while we're talking about controversial topics, here's some news from Spokane about Matt Nichols' life after football. He mentions wanting to sign a one-day contract to retire as a Bomber but it didn't work out. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2022/aug/15/ex-eastern-washington-qb-matt-nichols-quietly-step/ I think that the org should honor Nichols -- he's definitely not ring of honor material but he was instrumental in turning around the program and I don't think we are a Grey Cup team without the wins and growing pains of 2016 - 2018.

I don't blame TSN for the loss. I blame the W jerseys and the blue pajama pants, those should go in the bargain bin atop all the Jason Vega cammos. dress like a champ? play like a champ. dress ugly? play ugly. QED

special teams tho Now I'm rooting for the million-dollar kickoff return giveaway winner.

Nick Marshall lol how shitty a team do you have to be to have guys ejected after a touchdown?

CFL top tier teams are delivering the goods. Now gotta root for Cornelius to go off on the Riders. I wonder what **** was freaking out about on the last run before the FG kick -- he was dancing around scooping with both hands.

have to be impressed with how well Rourke moves around the pocket. looks cool way beyond his years. you can add "onfield rabbits" to that list.

firewagon football! (OPI, never mind) canola ads and momtweets. if the CFL were any more downhome it would be in my root cellar.

game on. not gonna root for any team in particular. we can beat either of these teams. just going to enjoy a hopefully entertaining CFL game.

BC shaping up as a bully team; they can whip the little kids but can't run with the big ones.

what can you set up with that? fake the hitch and have Whitehead go deep when the DB jumps it?

seems odd to run a hitch screen where you don't put a blocker on the man directly opposite the receiver -- forces Whitehead to go inside where Calgary can rally. they've done it twice now. guess they're figuring that Whitehead can beat his man one-on-one.

BC replacement running back struggling -- drops an easy swing pass and falls down on a play where he had a bunch of room to run for a 1st down. gotta get that kid settled down.

settling in to watch Lions / Stamps. Think the Stamps are going to surprise here.

nice catch there by Tim "take a knee" White

The pyramiding rule: so yeah, you can see why the official called it, but it sure didn't look intentional in the replay.

just tuning in. I like the Argo look with oxford pants and cambridge socks. hope Harris isn't hurt longterm good luck to #81 Argos too. stupid freak injuries

hell, why does anyone store paper documents these days? scan 'em, put 'em on an encrypted flash drive, burn the originals, scatter the ashes.

bending but not breaking

are the RTP rules different if the QB is rolling outside the tackles?

collapsed the pocket real nice there.

yeah, def not time to panic yet. it is kinda sad to see the GOAT shilling for a betting outfit.

just tuning in. those hockey jerseys aren't too bad but good god the combo with the blue pants is ugly. football pants should be a different color than a football jersey.

hmmm, Lee's Summit. Checks out.

Nik Lewis and Wes Cates tossing MBB some red meat here. https://3downnation.com/2022/08/08/his-skill-set-is-very-limited-former-cfl-all-stars-wes-cates-nik-lewis-agree-riders-qb-cody-fajardo-is-not-elite/
