iso_55 got a reaction from rebusrankin in Media
The national Liberal media will let this blow over. They don't want to embarrass Justin.

Now they're claiming it boosts the immune system. So does Vitamin C for a short time. Drinks lots of orange juice & eat apples. Probably just as good.

just a change up here but wasn't Cold FX proven to be fake? That it does nothing to prevent colds?

Arceneaux the beast. I'd take him over Bowman everyday of the week & twice on Sundays.

Esks RB Shakir Bell & the lions DB hit helmet to helmet. No penalty... I guess DB or RB brains getting scrambled is no issue to the CFL. Maybe I'm off base here but there shouldn't be 2 sets of rules for qbs & everyone else.

Jury's out... i think he'll make better decisions but he cost the Lions 2 wins. Tonight & earlier this season vs the Stamps with 2 picks late in the game. Qbs who don't learn don't last long.

they need to figure out a way to allow incidental contact to the head (as long as the defender is not leading with the head) to remove penalties like that one or the dumb helmet slaps

The rules these days are all effed up. A receiver or running back can get a helmet shot with no penalty & at times they are just as vulnerable as a qb. That RTP on Willis was bogus. No intent to injure. Willis didn't lead with his helmet. Clean hit but a cheap penalty. Then there's the PI rules, incidental contact & coaches challenges. To me, the rule changes the last 3 seasons have really messed up the game.

It looked for a few games that the Esks D was jelling. Now their secondary is back to chasing opposition jerseys into the end zone. I think Benevides gets fired this off season.

Nobody with that ugly a uniform deserves to win ... (no I'm not talking about the Esks ).

Just scrap the entire review process already. Been a **** show from the day they implemented it and all their constant tweaks to try and fix it have only made it worse.

What a beautiful pick.... if the qb is a bit slow getting the ball out there to the sidelines or stares down his receiver bad things happen.

iso_55 got a reaction from TBURGESS in Miller starting contract extension talks with Walters O'Shea
As I said before I think you wait until the absolute final game of the season before giving an extension to MOS. The Bombers could go 1-5 or 0-6. They could also go 3-3 or 4-2 which to me would be awesome. I think the prudent choice though is to see how the season plays out before any extension is given.

iso_55 got a reaction from JCon in Jets vs Oilers Heritage Classic
I have 2 grown children now that are 25 & 29 years of age. I had Bomber season tickets when my oldest son was born but he never went to a Bomber game as we felt he was too young to go. My wife & I didn't bring him as a 6 month old or later as a toddler. We didn't want him bothering other Bombers fans around him. There's nothing worse than a bored 3 year old who doesn't want to be there. So we paid for a babysitter to take care of him when we went to the Bomber game.
We moved to Calgary in 1990 which was the same year my youngest was born here. Again, I never took him or his older brother to a Stamps game until he was 7 years old & his brother 11 & they loved it. After that, with 2 Stamps season tickets my wife would stay home & I'd take one of my sons to the game a couple of times a year each.
I never would have brought my 6 month old to a game. When we were young parents,I just remeber that it was better for our kids to be at home at that age. Also, never would have wanted any of our kids should ever have been admitted for free if they were babies as they'd never have been at any games.. It never would have occurred for us to even ask for a free ticket. My feeling is keep your babies & toddlers at home until they're old enough to sit in their seats patiently without bothering others before you bring them to a game.
That's just me as my kids were toddlers in the late 80's & early 90's. It would have bothered me if I had brought them to a game & they would have made themselves a nuisance spoiling other peoples experience by refusing to sit still, screaming & crying around them for 3 hours. That's how we used to be as parents. My kids had to behave in public. They learned it at an early age but a football game for 3 hours would have hard for them so we never brought them to events like that at that age. And they'd get a swat on the bum for good measure if they didn't.

It's a tall order but doable. Look what the Riders did yesterday.

We also deserve to wait & see how the rest of the season plays out too. What's the hurry? The focus should be on making the playoffs now & worry about new contracts after the final whistle blows on the season. Not saying that MOS shouldn't get an extension but that we should wait.

Continuity is only good when we're winning. Continuity is highly over rated otherwise. Examples: Continuity was keeping MB from 2013-15. Change was bringing in PLAP. Continuity would have been to keep starting Willy, Neufeld and M Harris. Change is Nichols, Bond/Hardrick and Loffler.

iso_55 got a reaction from Tracker in GDT: Toronto @ Winnipeg
I don't have any bad feelings towards Hajrullahu over last year other than that stupid video the Bombers put up on their website with him kicking FGs from the stands, the parking lot of IGF & on the sidelines into a basketball hoop. He made that video even though he was struggling at the time as one of the worst kickers (percentage wise) in the CFL last year. I thought it was all self agrandizement on his part & never should have been done. Then running like a scared rabbit from the media after the woeful Edmonton game.
Those were two mistakes he made as far as I was concerned & he lost my support especially not facing the media like other players would have. Had he sucked it up & spoke I'd have respected him a lot more. Now that he has a fresh start in Toronto the slates wiped clean for me & I hope he enjoys a nice career. Live & learn...
