  1. Worked though. Would have worked better if the left guard blocked anyone. I honestly don't know how people expect any offensive coordinator to build even an average running game with so many overmatched OL. Capers wasn't getting off the line at all. He looked fine at tackle. Neufeld looks bad everywhere. Routinely getting bullied off the line by guys like Khreem Smith in the run game. Just brutal. Agreed re: Capers. I thought he looked much better at tackle than guard. I'd much rather see Goosen at lg & Capers at rt.
  2. Can you give an example of an ad that features Trudeau's sex appeal?
  3. When I used to go it was pretty much anything goes on the dance floor. That was ok when I was single, but it's not nearly as much fun when you're with your wife. I can't believe there aren't more fights there.
  4. I have both Pavelec & Rask on one of my fantasy teams, so I'm hoping for a low scoring game.
  5. Should all workplaces have mandatory testing for illegal drugs? Why just professional athletes? If you died from a heroin overdose, would it be your employers fault for not testing you?
  6. I'd rather they not retire any numbers. Hang their name & number from the rafters in tribute,but leave the number in circulation. I get some number retirements, like Gretzky's 99 or Lemieux's 66 in Pittsburgh, where they were so great that anybody wearing that number would look like an idiot. We've certainly never had anybody here at that level to worry about it though.
  7. I don't claim to know a lot about this deal, but it sounds like dairy farmers are making out like bandits. They gave up barely any market share and are getting a massive payout from the gov't for it.
  8. BC released him. He and one other guy got released from their pr this morning.
  9. That ended up pretty much exactly how we all thought it would.
  10. Yep some people are ignoring those things...probably because they have absolutely no bearing on this conversation. You can't apply generalities across the board as if they are absolutes. You judge MOS solely on his body of work, and with the facts you have, if you are the Bombers....certainly not on historical data. If we ignore history, we're doomed to repeat it. That's really deep.
  11. how much milk do you drink? Realistically, unless you are a baby you shouldnt be drinking any milk. And even then it should be human milk. Dont get me wrong, I love some milk when I have some warm cookies to dip in them or cereal. But humans drinking milk is silly (and I say that as a reformed milk addict). lol at trying to re-ignite the milk debate.
  12. LaPolice was coming off a Grey Cup appearance when he signed his extension. The scenario's are pretty different.
  13. Wheeler with Ladd & Little in this mornings line rushes. Petan on the 4th line with Copp & Thorburn.
  14. I'd sit him for the next game. Let him think about how it feels to watch somebody do his job. I definitely wouldn't cut him though. There's a lot of talent there if he can get his head straight.
  15. Arguably the worst analogy ever made.
  16. All good points. You've clearly put a lot of thought into this. I'll step aside from this argument now.
  17. I am still trying to figure out how, if you are asking a religion to abide by the laws of the state, that that is to be considered racist. So by this same token, not allowing Christian symbols on government property, like a nativity scene, or even the phrase "Merry Christmas" to appear anywhere in government literature, is the government engaging in racist activity. Either it is also racist, or neither action is racist. The two are not mutually exclusive, but just people deliberately bending over to accommodate one religion, while crapping on another, all in the name of political correctness. It's not a law of the state. It was struck down as unconstitutional. It's not just Christian symbols affected by government rules.
  18. They can't make a law like this b/c it's a violation of the woman's human rights. which is your opinion It's the court's opinion. The law violated the Citizenship Act, which is closely related to the Human Rights Act.
  19. Yes, they do get accommodated for passport photos and airport lineups. Also, any Muslim woman who follows her religion closely enough to wear a niqab won't be hanging out in beverage rooms. You've missed the main point of this conversation. The Conservatives have already tried to make this law, and had it struck down in court and again in appeal. Soon they'll lose at the Supreme Court. They can't make a law like this b/c it's a violation of the woman's human rights.
  20. So if a law is a law, we can't think it is wrong. If so, why does Trudeau, Muclair and May want to legalize marijuna. It's against the law. All current laws must be right, therefore they must be wrong. You can think everything is wrong if you're so inclined. TUP's pronouncement of it as fact that it's correct was inaccurate. If the Liberals win the election and attempt to legalize pot, only to be rejected in court and again in appeal, then yes, they'll be wrong about being able to legalize it.
  21. I liked his comment, so I'm smart too, right?
  22. If they were correct, they wouldn't keep losing in court. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/theres-a-simple-solution-to-niqabs-and-oath-swearing-but-harper-wont-allow-it/article26611044/ "Women like Zunera Ishaq needn’t feel obliged to wear their veils while swearing the citizenship oath. Religious freedoms can be respected by simply allowing them to take the oath in a room where no men are present. In that case, exposing their faces would not conflict with their religious values. This is what the law calls a “reasonable accommodation,” a gesture that harms no one but allows affected individuals to respect their beliefs. Ms. Ishaq has shown flexibility, removing her veil for identification purposes, her driver’s licence photo and at airport security. But the Tories would have the country in an uproar because Ms. Ishaq drew the line at exposing her face yet again in a room full of male strangers when there is no practical reason to require it."
  23. What should he do? Congress wouldn't even pass a ban on assault weapons. Why does anybody need an assault rifle? I read a great line on twitter: "In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over."
  24. The Conservatives began their climb when they started appealing to racists in Quebec. The niqab issue will win them the election b/c a lot of people are scared of muslims and Harper is doing what he can to stoke that fear. To date there have been two women who were refused the oath of citizenship b/c of a niqab, but the Conservatives have been able to turn this into a major issue. One sued the gov't and has won, twice. Harper will also lose at the Supreme Court...again. But it doesn't matter b/c by then he will be the pm again.
