That's kinda surprising. It was one of M. Night's lesser known movies but maybe my favourite one. "They called me MR. GLASS!!" Edit: Wow, just searched this and realized it's also a sequel to Split, which I never saw, and now the Split twist is totally spoiled for me. LOL.

OK, you prefer to attack my position on another issue rather than address what I just said. That's fine... par for the course really. But I don't see how my lack of willingness to accept refugees explains your laissez-faire attitude towards human rights violations. But we can set aside the human rights issues for now. Honestly my primary concern is with our own safety. I'm worried that some people seem content to wait for North Korea to attack. We'll deal with it *after* they drop a bomb on Los Angeles or Seoul or Kyoto. Until then... not a problem! Most of the North Korean rhetoric is just ****-waving. Until it's not. Does Kim Jong-Un strike you as a rational, predictable, measured individual?

It's also easy to ignore all of NK's human rights violations from Manitoba too. Even easier to shrug our shoulders and say "Well there was nothing that we could do" when North Korea attacks South Korea, Japan or North America. Funny how the same people who are worried about Trump's unpredictability seem so damn sure they can predict what North Korea will do.

True but that's hindsight. In 2013 Neufeld was coming off a severe broken leg and Sherman had played only one year with 2 defensive tackles and 8 special teams tackles. -

I waffled back and forth over which one was more likely protected but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. Both were fringe special teams players. Ottawa had plenty of those and no good receivers. Hard to say it was idiotic to take a chance on a solid Canadian free agent receiver rather than select a guy like Sherman or Volny. -
Do nothing and hope for the best. True leadership!

So what do you suggest we do about North Korea and all their evil crap? Nothing?

They were on their way to victory until China intervened. Of course no one wanted war with China. Now, China is beginning to distance themselves from NK. And would China ever actually go to war with the Americans on behalf of NK? Maybe... but it seems a lot more unlikely now than it did in the 1950s. Now let me ask you, what would have happened had the United States not intervened?

Jumped the shark, YA I SAW IT!!!

Good. I don't know what we're waiting for. For NK to drop a bomb on someone? **** that. The only way to get peace is with a gun.

Pumped for round 2. I got Nashville, Ducks, Rangers, Pittsburgh. Too predictable?

Scott Mitchell (the Sun reporter) was talking up Lache Seastrunk like crazy last year for the Stamps. Obviously didn't work out though.

I wouldn't say it's idiotic... He really didn't have much to choose from (non free agent Canadians): Carl Volny Carl Fitzgerald Jade Etienne Kito Poblah Cory Watson Chris Greaves Tyson Pencer Jake Thomas Philippe Dubuisson-Lebon Cauchy Muamba Teague Sherman Sandro DeAngelis Mathieu Boulay Patrick Neufeld Rene Stephan Paul Swiston Now consider that we could protect 6 players and the list looks more like this: Carl Fitzgerald Jade Etienne Tyson Pencer Philippe Dubuisson-Lebon Teague Sherman Sandro DeAngelis Mathieu Boulay Patrick Neufeld Rene Stephan Paul Swiston Tough to blame Desjardins for not wanting any of those players. -
Ed Tait...Mini Camp Preview (and) Reports
Atomic replied to Mr Dee's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I'm wondering if they are going to put him through some linebacker drills. Seems odd to only bring one DL to camp. Regardless, I think these mini-camps are no-contact so even if OL were there it wouldn't make a difference. -

Effectively the same as saying no. Instead we went cheap and unproven. Don't get me wrong I'm happy with where we ended up QB wise... but if we sign Burris in 2014 we're talking about making the playoffs for the fourth straight year in 2017.
-
They also lost their Hall of Fame QB. Though he wasn't good enough to play for the Bombers from 2014 right up until he won the Grey Cup in 2016 so maybe that won't make a difference.
-
Where I grew up, if a ***** wanna play with the big boys, she gonna get knocked out like the big boys. Plain and simple. Now that's equality.

The Ontario gov't is a disaster. I'm glad it's them trying out the basic minimum income because they will almost certainly botch it spectacularly and all us rational capitalists can point at their failed example, ensuring we never get this socialist trash here.

It's not ridiculous unless you believe that EVERY player on the Bombers actually needed to be cut from the team. If we're talking about the Redblacks building around 6-8 players from the expansion draft, I'm sure you could find 6-8 players on the Bombers that were worth keeping in town. And the point is that the Bombers GM could have cut whoever he wanted, and signed whoever he wanted. CFL teams are not restricted by contracts at all... all the power rests with the team's management. There is no such thing as a CFL GM being handcuffed by a bad roster. -

Bennett was never poached... that's a bid of a mistaken view of what happened. Either we didn't want him, or he didn't want to be here. It's no different than if he had gone to free agency in February. It just happened at a different time. -

I chalk that up as a win for me, under the total annihilation column. Back to high school debate club with you, you can't roll with the big dogs online. -
That would be my guess. He wouldn't be the first to play with no ACL, but no MCL would be problematic. My guess would be a partial tear and a lot of painkillers and anti-inflammatory meds.

Also your numbers are off, unless I'm missing something. I see Deane, Hopkins, and Evans as starters and Marshall, Albright, and Lavoie as backups/special teams. Tuesday morning and you're already in the sauce? -

OK you're right, if only the Bombers could have had those 8 players we would have won the Grey Cup. LOL. Get real. The Bombers weren't in any worse of a position than Ottawa was. Desjardins just made it work. Give credit where it's due.
