  1. Didn't Orridge just say (yesterday or the day before) that a new drug policy had been created by the league, but it's in the hands of the CFLPA now? I don't think he mentioned when it was finished but any delays at this point aren't coming from his end.
  2. That's true. Russia has accused Turkey of being pro-terrorism for taking down the plane but Russia wasn't going after ISIS (who currently is not operating in that area). Instead, they targeted rebels who are against the Syrian regime which goes against Russian interests.
  3. I don't believe the Russians either. This incident was brewing for a while as the Russians have had numerous warnings/complaints over this type of thing in this exact area.
  4. I'd side with Russia before turkey.Russia should take over Turkey and rename it Chicken. Post of the year. Everything I've read says the Turkish Air Force shot that Russian plane down not any Rebel group. Turkey said that the Russian Jet was in their airspace & was warned up to 10 times before being brought down. Russia denies all of this. Unless I missed something, everyone here agrees that Turkey shot the plane down? Rebels then shot at the pilots who had ejected from the plane (as well as the chopper sent in to rescue them). Turkey has released audio of the the incident, showing that there were multiple warnings over a five minute period before the plane was brought down. Whether or not the audio is legit, depends on who you believe I guess. Something like that wouldn't be hard to make after the fact. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34929242
  5. The story on CJOB is a bit different. According to their story there was no contract, all the union had was an email saying they would get the job but nothing was ever signed. http://www.cjob.com/2015/11/25/cfl-bombers-sued-on-eve-of-grey-cup/
  6. Arent those rebels US backed? Too much idiotic politics in the region. Nothing is black and white, right or wrong. And the world will never agree. We need aliens to come down here and force us all to see the bigger picture. I have read some reports saying that but there's apparently around a dozen rebel groups operating in that area so who knows if that's true for some, any or all of those groups?
  7. I don't believe the Turkish armed forces shot at the pilot. From what I've read, they did bring the plane down but it was rebels on the Syrian side of the border that shot at the pilot & rescue chopper.
  8. Tillman was GM in BC when they won in 94 & in TO when they won in 97 as well.
  9. Our 1st home game wasn't pretty. 38-13 at half-time.
  10. Deadline for the Syrian refugees has been pushed back by 2 months. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/Deadline-for-25000-refugees-pushed-back-two-months-353211181.html
  11. To quote you earlier in the thread, should he have rented a Prius?
  12. Lawless is usually right about this stuff so I've got my fingers crossed that this is just him speculating rather than something that's already set & just hasn't been announced yet.
  13. There are multiple examples of Canadian born players that you could say that about (Hello Eric Lindros!) though and American-born players that haven't shown that attitude at all (Drew Stafford for example).
  14. I'll be pulling for the Evil Empire. I appreciate what Ottawa has been able to do this year but I can't cheer for Burris or Jovon who can't seem to stop talking about Winnipeg... time to move on buddy!
  15. Street Fighter is safe... it doesn't claim to be authentic!
  16. He does. They just had Lapo & Climie on the Jets game. Lapo was decked out in Jets gear and Orelesky mentioned that he still lives here.
  17. As long as she doesn't act like it's her first time.
  18. Somebody better tell Obby to find a new line of work!
  19. I think I've seen a grand total of one funny tweet from him. I can't even remember if was really all that funny, it only stood out because of who it came from. I had to do a double take to make sure that it wasn't just a re-tweet.
  20. Eric Rogers might disagree with you. Desjardins is still the guy who didn't think the best receiver in the league was even worth bringing to training camp last year. Not saying he doesn't deserve credit for the season they've had, but it doesn't negate all the dumb s**t he's done.
  21. Honestly, I don't see how you can come to these black and white conclusions, unless you are privy to counter-terrorism intelligence that no one else here is. The truth is, no one knows what terrorist groups have infiltrated these camps, and radicalized the people living in them. But I agree that we can't allow this fear to stop Canada from letting in refugees, and I support these efforts. There is no way to ever know fully if the people we are allowing in will one day decide to strap on a vest and self-detonate, but such is the way it is. Bring on the refugees. Great point. This is why I feel like the refugee "threat" is being over blown & politicized somewhat because the terrorist threats are not limited to refugees. If the Paris & Ottawa incidents have shown anything, it's that immigrants and natural born citizens are being radicalized and are just as willing or likely to commit these crimes.
  22. They only signed him after the last regular season game when Matthews got hurt. It was done out of necessity, not strategy.
  23. He dressed for 2 games in 2013 and recorded 1 tackle on special teams.
  24. Kodi itself is legal, it's simply a media player. The 3rd party add-ons fall into the grey area. One of the biggest differences between this and torrents is that you aren't file sharing.
