Bucknor needs to not be starting any more. We don't have a need for it and Hamilton went and picked on his side of the field every time they got one of the turnovers and it got them points.

So many times after the qb was sacked you saw Picard just standing around because he didn't block anyone. I'm sick of that guy... and then to think of the money we're paying him to not block anyone....

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. No it's all the placebo effect because that's what all the scientific studies say it is. Yeah I am sure people can come up with examples of someone getting better after taking it.... but that's the placebo effect. There is no basis in science for homeopathy. It's no different than praying for someone to get better. Maybe it gives someone peace of mind of lets them think they're doing something but it is not a replacement for actual real medicine that has a strong scientific backing.

This man speaks truths... Oh come on, MTL and their dirty defense is way more unlikeable than HAM. If you'd'a just stayed the **** out my boat......but you didn't.....so go **** yourself..... Sheesh none of those guys are on the team anymore. when was it 5 years ago ? The North (end) remembers . . . I love the fact that Noeller liked this post, a clear game of thrones reference and he likes it. got something to hide buddy?

And they totally forget that his daddies name is poison in a lot of the country. They thought Justin was personable enough to shake off the Conservative attacks, forgetting that the reason Dion and Ignatieff weren't able to wasn't their qualifications, both were smart dudes, but Dion was a wimp who couldn't play dirty enough, and Ignatieff had no hope of inspiring the public because every time he talked he sounded like a professor lecturing people. Voters don't want politicians who lecture them. Trudeau might have the personality but he completely lacks any substance. He was a star candidate because his family name is Liberal royalty and they mistakenly thought that was enough. It shows up out of touch the Liberal party is with Canadians.

You act like watching practise is important to these guys. They can get all the information they need talking to the coach and players and they can't really report on anything interesting they might see at practise anyway. Time to get off the high horse and just realize that the media who are bad at their jobs like Friesen are bad no matter if they watch practise or not and guys who are good are good regardless of how much practise they watch as well.
-
See this is a problem for me. the Conservatives have done some things that have irked me, but Trudeau is a tool and the Liberals selecting him as leader tells me they haven't come to grips with the idea that they aren't the diving rulers of our land. I will never ever vote NDP because I am just so opposed to their ideals. It's too much pie in the sky dreaming.

Elizabeth May and the green party support homeopathy (aka quackery) and she thinks wifi is bad. How can you take someone seriously when these are positions they take?
-
No his arrogance means he's arrogant. A lot of the crap he's pulled makes him unlikeable.

Gambled on 3rd down rather than going for a 48 yard field goal with a kicker who is playing lights out. I meant to ask, why do people dislike Chris Jones personally? He seems ok to me. Just his thoughts and mentality on some things. His first year as head coach he refused the traditional handshake after a game with the opposing coach because he felt that it wasn't "genuine" . Apparently he has relented and shakes hands this year because he didn't want to bring "negative' publicity to the club, but I'm sure he still thinks it is an empty gesture. He may feel it's an empty gesture and I can appreciate not wanting to hear 'consolation' after a loss .. that said .. it's about good sportsmanship and the one thing I've always admired about the sport of hockey is that post series handshake .. those guys beat each other up .. it can get ugly .. but at the end of a series there's that show of respect for the guys competing across from you. I guess one could infer that Jones simply doesn't respect his opponents. This is exactly it. The handshake isn't an empty gesture, it's a sportsmanship thing. You show your respect for your opponents and even though you're bitter rivals during the game you still show the respect for them afterwards because the battle ends when the final whistle goes. Arrogance and disrespect are things I can't tolerate in a coach. He's basically Mike Kelly except actually a good coach. Give me O'Shea anyday. There's a guy who respects everyone.

It's old and showing it's age, but it's still a good place to watch football. Not really any poor seats to watch from, yeah there;s bench seats in the endzone sections and maybe up in the nose bleeds, but so what? Not like putting a board on the back makes things any more comfortable.

It's time for the Riders to start sucking ...
17to85 replied to IC Khari's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
0-6 in a season like this one I think the Riders are already out of the picture given their top 2 qbs are hurt, no point in making a huge trade to try and get a qb when you have so little chance anyway. Best to just lick your wounds and prepare for next year. -
Losing the game on a decision not to try a field goal couldn't happen to a more deserving ******* than Chris Jones. Looks good on him.

McMahon and Commonwealth must be bigger shithole's. well Mcmahon is a shithole but I doubt it's as bad as Shithole central in Saskatchewan, and Commonwealth is a nice stadium still, only problem with it is the track but even that isn't THAT bad. McMahon has benches without backs on them (excluding premium seats). It's way worse than Mosaic. Commonwealth is better though, don't get that one. yeah cause that's all that matters. I hope you realize how hard my eyes are rolling. The play by play team have to use a step ladder to get into the press box at mosiac craphole. It's a turd of a stadium and widely regarded as the shittiest in the CFL. Once the new stadium is built yeah maybe then Mcmahon is the worst but that new one ain't built yet.

Everyone hates the Conservatives and their attack ads... Well does anyone remember why they jumped on the bandwagon for them? Here's a refresher, the fact is attack ads worked and the Liberals for years painted Harper and the Conservatives as the socialist boogeyman to the point where people STILL believe that crap. It's worked for the Conservatives too though, they controlled the perception for Dion and Ignatieff from the get go and they've probably done the same with Trudeau this time around. It's the old repeat something often enough people will believe it.

Yeah Noeller was watching Archie and friends instead. ...... Stuck up Riverdale punks, think they're too good for me...
-
We're Canadians, our closets have enough clothes to wear outdoors in any weather. Give me the out door football any day.
-
they probably fully expect Bryant to play and want the rest of the line to play the positions they'll play in the game, plus if Greaves is going to be a backup it's good that he gets reps at all positions in practise because he might need to play more positions. For what it's worth Joe Mack always viewed Greaves as a potential tackle.

I don't like the only the last quote showing feature, 3 or 4 to me is a good number. 10 is too high and I always try and crop ones going too far back out anyway, but in a lot of cases you need the context of a couple posts back.

I'll give Kendial Lawrence a chance this week
-
Yeah the combination of hands and speed is a real boon. Otherwise it's pretty much just Denmark as the burner out there.
-
Remember back when Doug Berry was here and the Bombers would have this great opening drive all the time then do sweet **** all the rest of the game? Don't get your panties in a bunch over an opening drive even if it is a long time consuming one. Football is a game of adjustments and the one thing I like about Hall's defence so far is how much he seems to adjust when things aren't working. He doesn't at least from my standpoint sit by stubbornly when things don't work.
-
Won't lie. maybe if you're a couple of negative nancies. I would have only worried if they'd gone two and out on offensively and then gave up another long drive. A long opening drive? Come on we've all been following the CFL long enough to know that the start of the game more often than not becomes entirely meaningless by the end.
