Doesn't mean your point was wrong. I just wanted to add the other side of things. As for you're memory... you're in Washington. All that second-hand smoke is taking its toll.

Westerman also single-handedly saved the game for the Bombers.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Came in last year around game 5 when the Bombers started to turn things around. Got a big interception in that game. Otherwise was pretty quiet for the rest of the year but held onto the job. Reliable field-side corner. Average size, good speed, good tackler. Got beat up a bit in the western semi and had a really rough game for the Bombers in pre-season and I'm pretty sure that's what sealed the deal on his release.

Nope you're okay, I took your shift. Just leave the door unlocked because I don't have my key.

The TV Thread
John Oliver is trash and so is Colbert. Out of touch rich guys whose heads are so far up their own asses that they are looking out their own mouths. Never seen a pair of more self-righteous douchebags in my life.

The effect of wins on ticket sales on a week-to-week basis is overstated IMO.

GDT: Toronto @ Winnipeg
I've never seen a team miss the playoffs at 16-2 so no, this is not a must-win game. Must-win starts when we hit loss number 10 and no sooner.

Not sure many people outside of Winnipeg would agree with you re: Trouba better than all those guys.

Even with the Winnipeg premium I can't see Trouba getting more than 6.5 M. Of course that depends on how he plays this year. He won't be extending before the end of his current deal, IMO.

Sorry, they don't hand out that job to nobodies. BTW think she's a fantastic choice for the job.

23 years old and he's their #1 defenceman. 5 mil will end up being a bargain.

What makes you think he couldn't?

DON'T JYNX IT!! Playoffs don't count I guess! Surprising! Would have thought it was a lot better against us. SAD!

Raising Minimum Wage Disastrous
Is the lack of harvesting the problem, or is the inappropriate use of illegal immigrants as a low-cost workforce the problem? Are you in favour of exploiting illegal immigrants by paying them lower than minimum wage? That doesn't seem right.

That article is all about whether he threw the grenade or not. But that's only one part of the issue, although it does seem to get the most focus. Whether he threw it or not, he abandoned Canada and joined a terrorist organization and almost certainly participated in activities such as bomb-building and assisting the terrorist organization in other ways. I think that's what more people are upset about. The fact that he was a terrorist and he has now received an apology and large cash settlement from the taxpayer in a shady backroom deal. Now, it is obviously more nuanced than that, since he was young and impressionable and you may even argue brainwashed. But you still can't expect that situation to sit well with most people.

That weak-side half spot tends to get the most action... I'd be really reluctant to put a rookie there, especially one that's already been lit up pretty bad. Derek Taylor had a great tweet about the Bombers having that weak-side locked down. So that's one positive at least.

Ya he was their starter.

He will probably wait for another NFL chance. If he is still available by next training camp, I would expect him to be here... but no earlier than that.

Looks like it's Kyle Knox.

True. But I mean, I've also watched all the games, in many cases multiple times, and I'm pretty confident in saying that Wild is a top-tier linebacker in the CFL. Citing tackle numbers is just a lot easier than going through and pointing at every play he has or has not made. In the end it's just an opinion either way.
