I think I can understand the mental health benefits of all these things, so there's a case to be made there......but I also 100% agree with what you're saying. I'm fully on board with mass lockdowns to end this thing as quickly as possible. The economy will recover.... dead people won't.

I read a great quote awhile back about why sports is going to be the very last thing to come back. I'm paraphrasing, but it said, basically: "Sports is the byproduct of a healthy society. When everyone is healthy and everything is back to normal, and there are zero other worries, THEN we can talk about having sports and entertainment in our lives". I've seen some make the case that sports is an economic driver, so it should come back early for that reason, but I don't necessarily buy it. I'm more inclined to believe that we don't NEED sports that badly. It's far more important to make sure that everyone is safe and will remain so.

I know I've posted this before, but I'm bored and staring out the window of my office...... if I could have any life in the world....like, if I won Lotto Max and could do anything.....I would live the life Buff has right now. Like, no question. Brand new house at Oak Bluff, cottage on LOTW, nicest fishing boat money can buy......done. It's all I want in life.

I dunno...he turned down more money from LA so he could stay in Wpg. You gonna tell me we overpayed for Buff?
-
I don't think there's any real surprise that Buff values quality of life over money. This is not a guy who has ever given the impression that he's only in it for the cash.

It's Pitts/Stegall at the top and then Geroy a ways back of them both in 3rd........ I won't even listen to any other argument. -

an Esks fan that I know through the music business was incredulous that I made that claim last week. Said Milt was maybe Top 10 receivers all time, and that Mervyn Fernandez was the all time greatest. I didn't even know where to begin with that... -
they can't afford to do that. It's either fully as normal, with fans, or cancel the season. There's no other way. And since US players won't be allowed across the border yet and fans won't be allowed to gather until sometime in late 2021..............

One thing that often goes overlooked (overshadowed by Cameron and Westwood tough games) is how good Milt played in the 01 GC game. He was outstanding and made a TD catch in triple coverage that is, to this day, one of the greatest football catches I've ever seen in my life. -

the Bombers had actually played a rather poor game in 01 vs Ham, and were lucky to win that one. They'd looked rusty after the starters took games off and then they had the bye....in the end, it was an omen for how the GC would go. Sigh. -
Kenney had better follow Hinshaw, and Hinshaw better (I believe she will) follow Tam, who is following the W.H.O. The problem with Jason Kenney is that he actually believes he's smarter than everyone, so I'm concerned that he stops listening to the experts. As long as we're following the W.H.O. guidelines, I'm good with whatever...

whoever thought it was a good idea to put him in the booth at all in the middle of a championship game is a moron. It was likely one of the producers, but it doesn't matter...it was incredibly stupid. Takes away from the importance of the game. NFL would NEVER allow that during the Super Bowl.

Man, I'd forgotten about this 2010 game. Cripes, that's an all timer right there... -

Nearly 100 yards in the first quarter, and well over in the half. He was incredible, as were the OL... -
Jason Kenney, seemingly following Trump's lead, has been bashing Dr. Tam (and Health Canada, in general) and saying that they want to bring in meds like Hydroxychloroquine, regardless of what Health Canada says about it. Truly terrifying...

One of my favourite games is this game vs Montreal in summer 2005 when we had an AWFUL team that started 0-4 (mostly because Glenn was injured and Tee Martin was playing and Kamau/Wane McGarity were dropping everything). Stanford Samuels (Bombers DB) was a member of OB.com back then (SammySam), and he came on and was telling to make sure we didn't miss the game that week vs the Als, because they had been scheming for that game in particular since the offseason, and they had some special stuff planned. Sure enough the Bombers jumped out to a huge 20 point lead, and also sure enough, the Bombers pissed away that lead, and needed some patented last second magic from Milt Stegall to get the win. It was a hell of a game and a hell of a night. They used to show it on Classic Canada all the time... -
there is absolutely less than 0 chance of them starting a season on July 1......Cripes.

Philion was 100% a piece of ****, but I'll never be able to forgive Davis lifting his leg and pretending to pee like a dog on Khari after a sack.....that's something that will live with me forever. Those confident-for-no-reason Riders teams of the early 00s sickened me. But no question, the Als teams of the same era are right up there for me. Don Matthews fills a team with personalities just like his = everyone's a piece of ****. -

Sanchez, Ferri, Cox....there were a lot of douchebags on the Als teams of the 00s. -
More and more, I'm leaning toward scrapping the 2020 season. The border isn't going to be open in time for the US players to get up here, and they aren't going to allow fans for at least a year, if not more....and the CFL isn't a league that can get by without fans in attendance. At this point, I think we'd be lucky to only lose 1 season...

*Who's And I'm taking a wait and see approach. I was primarily in it for the Cap movies, and Iron Man secondarily, soooo........ya, we'll see. It seems like the next gen Marvel stuff is going to be really space and aliens based, so that takes me out in a hurry...

Ya Rideau Cottage is not a "cottage" as we think of it. It's sitting PM's secondary residence...
