  1. Jeeze, when it's all laid out like that. Man oh man. The two biggest things that always stick with me from his reign were 1) the silencing of scientists. Federal scientists being forbidden to talk about pretty much anything. And 2) Wanting to shut down the Experimental Lakes Area by Kenora to save a measly 2 million bucks, despite the great work they were doing. The guy was just such an unlikelable *******.
  2. Okay, but still..... Who is out there that you'd wanna bring in to kick if you're gonna have Liegghio just do punts or just do punts and KOs...? Who's out there that's better?
  3. I still think it makes sense to let him keep growing, but mostly because who else are you going to get that's close to automatic? If there were a lot of guys out there that fit the bill, every team would have one. So because of that, and the fact that you have one of the best CIS kickers of all time in house, it just makes more sense to let the kid keep progressing. If he can take another leap forward next year as he did this past year then we're in good shape...
  4. This is really true. There was talk not long ago about naming the Calgary airport after him. He is worshipped here.
  5. On paper, things really looking up for the RBs. If they have a good FA and draft, things could turn around. Gonna be tough for anyone to pry Mauldin out of there now, I'd reckon...
  6. What in the actual **** is going on.....
  7. Absolutely hilarious day watching the goings on in The Gap.... I can't wait to see what kind of mess they'll be next year. Heading the right way for an O-Fer season, and I love it...
  8. Looks like it's all but official....
  9. this series of tweets has made my afternoon.... bless you all.
  10. within minutes had the game and pre-game recordings deleted from my PVR. Burn the tape, never look back.
  11. This is purely anecdotal, but I feel like the AB Party is siphoning more votes than the provincial Libs..... most people don't even know we have a provincial Lib party out here. But the point remains that it's the NDP vs the UCP, period.
  12. 2..... and it really sucks.
  13. You figured they would snap their fingers and it would immediately be created? These plans take time. Everyone wants these things, including the politicians, but it takes time. Baby steps.
  14. Congrats to Coach Dyce, a true Manitoba product. Came up in the Winnipeg minor football system, to the Bisons, then Bombers and now this. Fantastic news. HIs son coaches in BC right now, but I'd be curious to see if he moves east to coach with the old man... this makes me giggle a bit because Ballsy was so convinced that he was coming and bringing BLM with him....
  15. I do like the idea of the Grits and Dippers working together to prevent the Tories (now run by their crazy fringe) from having any real power, but as Dave had mentioned, I'm not a fan of less choices to vote for (merging the NDP/LPC). I'd hate to become like the States where everyone is so polarized as one or the other that it becomes part of your DNA and you can never vote for anyone other than a certain party. Right now, the way things are with the NDP propping up the LPC in exchange for some progressive changes.... I'm a fan of that. Also, whatever it takes from letting PP be in charge. We're seeing in AB what that would be like....and I want no part of it.
  16. We can talk all day about how bad the premiers are, or ruling parties, but enough people voted for them.... So what does it say about us as a population?
  17. I think Rose gets a shot in camp, if he doesn't ask too much $$ but he's getting up there and could absolutely see him losing his gig.
  18. So far the thing I like best is that it's not a procedural Case Of The Week style.... It's one over arching storyline for the whole season.
  19. Just for discussion... Personally I would NEVER take Money Hunter on my team. I'll always remember him as a guy who takes way too many penalties...
  20. Honestly, I know so very little about the NFL because I just don't give a single **** about that league......but I just assumed they've got their hands full worrying about this season right now, and aren't messing around with new recruits, but I do suppose the scouts never stop working and looking for the next ones, so they might be looking right now, as Jay mentioned above...
  21. that's a really good point...Schoen is better than any of those you mentioned, and if they got calls, he should have as welL. That is very curious, indeed...
  22. In the middle of the season, I'm not surprised the NFL hasn't come calling yet. Once they get into their off-season, I have zero doubts Schoen will get workouts. His numbers this year were too good to not at least get a peek. Whether he sticks or not is another story, but he'll get a look in Feb/March, I'm sure...
  23. I believe the one arrested was from The Pas, they said........and I'm not saying anything about the fine people from The Pas.......ahem...... but definitely not Americans.
  24. Disney+ (via their Star subsidiary)... new ep every Friday. Due to being on streaming now, they're a lot looser with the language and stuff. It's quite good...
