The thing that gets me is that the politicians in BC have flat out admitted that winning their court cases aren't the goal. They are totally OK just pissing away tax payer money on doomed challenges AND harming the countries reputation for investment, and now wasting more tax payer money since the federal government has picked up the tab for the project. It's just stupid and really shows how out of touch parts of BC are with the real world.

Honestly I think it was pretty similar to the first one, it's just that it's nothing fresh and new, simply more of the same. So if by that definition it's not as good sure, but honestly I think as films they are pretty comparable in terms of quality. Hell it's great for the scenes in the credit alone.

But the guy clearly doesn't care about character, was the same when he was here. It's a flaw, and maybe why no one is giving him the reigns as a GM.

Guy who got pissed off that we didn't throw a ticker tape parade for his training camp and practise reports... but the thing is a lot of time he was simply flat out wrong in his reports and took issue with people disagreeing with him. For example the one time I was able to get to some training camp I recall reading his report from camp and it was completely different from what I had seen, and most other people were in agreement with the impressions I came away with, but some people just can't accept that they might be wrong and get defensive because of it.

BC has lost every challenge against it, they know that they won't win any case because it's already been approved and it's federal jurisdiction. The entire play by BC was obstruct for long enough that Kinder Morgan pulled out. Rather than wielding any power to slap BC back into line though the Liberals allowed it to get to the point where suddenly we are on the hook as taxpayers for the thing. Which I would be much more OK with if the government would just build it and run it as a crown corporation, but no, that's not the plan, the plan is to build it then sell it back. So basically it's corporate welfare. Government takes all the risks and then who ever buys the pipeline gets all the profit. The very second the government started talking about getting involved financially Kinder Morgan jumped at the chance and now we tax payers are paying for their project. Liberals bungled this massively simply because they were afraid of losing votes in BC if they were to do anything to put them in their place.

https://www.tsn.ca/2018-cfl-on-tsn-broadcast-schedule-1.721560 for those wondering what preseason games TSN is showing.

the reality is that most of us on this board have no clue what we see anyway.

They had a hell of a time casting that role, they actually shot a pilot with a different actress at first but re-cast the role. Honestly I don't even think Clarke plays the role well at all, I think she just rode the coat tails of a popular well written character and really doesn't have any talent of her own. Before I stopped watching that show because they ran out of source material I used to routinely cringe at how bad she was while trying to be overly dramatic in some scenes. Her presence in a movie instantly makes me think it's going to be terrible.

"well folks it's preseason for everyone" Rod Black, probably.

It really shows what Jones is all about, the stubborn pride and failure to admit mistakes. Also shows that image matters more than anything else.

and I probably do. It's a very American style of broadcasting and I hate how it's seeped into Canada.

The middle of the defense should be an absolute strength. Whatever they do at DT should be strong, MLB is among the best in the league, safety is a good one. It's exciting stuff.

The biggest problem TSN has is that they try to be the entertainment rather than letting the game be the entertainment. They pick a player or a story of the night and never deviate from the script. It's awful broadcasting. They would be better off just calling the game as it is and letting the game tell the story.

Judging every last one of us in silence.

At least guys like Climie and Sanchez have the capacity to put some thought into what they are saying, Burris and Schultz are just idiots saying the most superficial thing as if it was hard hitting in depth stuff. This may be an unpopular opinion but I'm not the biggest fan of Doug Brown on the radio either. Guy is a smart and knows what's going on but I find he simply talks too much and tries to use too many big words when it's not needed. If he'd keep things short and to the point he'd be really good but he rambles too much.

Eh the Bombers have run that play already with a receiver throwing a pass. If teams don't know about it already then their coaching staff has failed.

CFL media is by and large a bunch of morons. This only proves it.

Why is there some sort of affirmative action plan where they have to have at least one ***** on the panel for equality purposes?

So you're saying he is a rider fan... that is why he's got the job he does. Rider fans love to hear people as delusional as themselves.

That's because Burris is a complete and utter dumbass but he doesn't know that he's a dumbass so he thinks he's actually making smart points. Just a total waste of time on a panel.

Proven that he can't be an effective starter. I understand that people want to see experience, but just because a guy has been around the CFL doesn't mean he's good enough. If Nichols goes down for any length of time then yeah, it's trouble, but that would be the case if they had Vernon Adams too. It's why I liked the signing of Durant, but he's a dickhead so here we are. I'll hope one of the newbies can show some promise and then I'll pray for Nichols.

Or they're just exploring every option they can and making sure they have the best possible team on the field every week. The day you stop trying to get better is the day you instantly get worse.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. William Karlsson is not going to shoot at over 20% again. He won't be a consistent 40 goal scorer and most of those other guys won't do that well again either. Team that played with a chip on it's shoulder and had some early success that they built off of. They caught lightning in a bottle but anyone who thinks this is an accurate representation of how good a team it is you're crazy. Next season with the weight of expectations on them you will see them fall back to reality.

It must be preseason. Everyone is already cutting vets to keep the shiny new toys. Love this time of year.

Vegas is relying on a lot of guys having career years. It won't last. Yeah they have some depth, but without Fleury playing well and guys massively over performing because of the underdog factor I don't see them having staying power as a top team.
