Nobody panic but there may be aliens on the way to visit us. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/article.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=11959103

This the natural progression for prospects falling out of the NFL. Step 1: Good team. Step 2: New York Jets. Step 3: Cleveland Browns. Step 4: CFL. So he is getting closer.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers unveil 2018 schedule
Atomic replied to TrueBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Wade Miller was on the radio yesterday and he said that this past season was a special case and they specifically went off the regular rotation to ensure a SSK-WPG game for the Mosaic grand opening. -

And that's the ugly part of these accusations hitting the public arena before they go before the courts. Because even though the overwhelming majority are likely true, there will be the occasional revelation of a false accusation too. And certain people will latch onto those ones and use them to discredit real accusations. -
Game 32 : Al Capone @ Al Golden
Atomic replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Poolman had a couple really ugly gaffes but at least he gets a pass for being a rookie. I expect him to improve with time. At this point, Chiarot is who he is... he's probably not going to get much better. -

Who else are you gonna play though? Trouba had a brutal night too. -
Not so worried about Bos, NYI, and Edm. But this stretch in the Central could get ugly. I'd like to see Mason get the start against St Louis on Saturday.

Game 32 : Al Capone @ Al Golden
Atomic replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
That Poolman-Chiarot pairing is dreadful. I'd like to see them put Myers with Chiarot and Poolman with Kulikov. Poolman has tons of potential but he needs to be with a solid, veteran d-man like Kulikov right now. Chiarot just sucks. -
Game 32 : Al Capone @ Al Golden
Atomic replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Well no, we can actually go back and look and see that was not the case. Melchiori was the 9th defenceman last season. enstrom - byfuglien morrissey - trouba chiarot - myers stuart - postma melchiori Even with Myers going out early, we still had 7 defencemen in front of Melchiori. So it would have taken four injuries to get him into the top 4. I'm sorry for taking your somewhat sarcastic, throwaway comment and subjecting it to a detailed audit. I have a problem. -

Yes. Here is another great example: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/13/business/media/rape-uva-rolling-stone-frat.html -
Game 32 : Al Capone @ Al Golden
Atomic replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Melchiori is having a good year with the Moose. But he's just here to be a healthy scratch... he won't see the ice unless another defenceman goes down. -
Actually Dr. CFL is Ross Hodgkinson

He was even slower than Stoddard!

Then how does Batey factor in at all? Brock Turner receiving a ridiculously lenient sentence stands alone on its own merit. There are many differences between the two cases, and race is just one of them. In fact, race played more heavily into the Batey case because some would argue it was a hate crime to gang rape a white girl and then piss on her face while telling her "This is for 400 years of slavery." Again, I'm just not sure what point you were attempting to make. -
Yeah. SkipTheDishes and ride sharing companies are generally not worth it for the drivers, if you really dig down and do the math. So regulate it better. It serves the consumer. If it doesn't serve the employee then the government has to step in and make sure the employers are playing fair. But that doesn't mean you block the whole industry. Because cab companies do not serve the consumer appropriately anymore and it's not right that they have a monopoly.

I do think the guys should get royalties from the WWE Network. It would be difficult to determine how much, but so be it... these are the guys who put their bodies on the line. Find a way.

Are you not suggesting that he is a victim of institutional racism? That's what I got from your post. Otherwise why bring it up? -
I think what TUP did is okay. I can understand the point of view against Uber as a company but in my opinion this is about ride-sharing, not Uber or Lyft specifically. It's about opening up the market to serve the population better. Taxis in this city are dreadful. What other business could survive and thrive with such poor service? Duffy's has a 1.6 star rating on Google and Unicity has a 1.9 star rating. And they are both huge and neither ever address customer concerns. That's not right. And what a load of crap this is: Who wrote this anti-tech propaganda? It makes it sound like such disruptions are a bad thing. When something like ride-sharing comes along, you write new regulations. You don't stubbornly hold on to old ones that worked in 1980. Whoever wrote this needs to read "Who Moved my Cheese?"

It is incredibly disingenuous to suggest the only difference between the two cases is race. It is reprehensible that Brock Turner got such a light sentence. But the cases were not the same. Not by a long shot. But I do agree with you that it would be naive to suggest that race plays no part. It is playing a part right now, allowing you to view Brock Turner as a villain while you paint Corey Batey as a victim. -

It's not relevant. When Basslicker comes in and talks about the concerns of false accusations, he is accused of not actually caring about that, but instead he's trying to make excuses for Republicans. It's the exact same thing here. You claim it's related, but really it's just a reason to be able to bring race into the discussion. On the left, your argument gets stronger the more -ist and -phobic words you can toss at the other side. Sexist wasn't getting the results you wanted, so you added racist. That's all this is. -

Focused? Like bringing up Jim Crow in a discussion about sexual harassment? Great focus there. More like "Here's a thread discussing an issue that has political connections! Let me turn on my firehose of unrelated Liberal talking points and start calling everyone racists and sexists to shut down all discussion." -
Hargreaves is the slowest receiver to play for the Bombers in the last 20 years.

I guess the discussion is over. Pretty bizarre and selective reasoning for what got pruned. You're allowed to be an ******* if you lean left, but not if you lean right. Pretty typical, to be honest. If you can't beat it, delete it.
