  1. Lemar's uncle has one thing right... Durant's alleged attitude was just another possible explanation for his stock dropping prior to the draft that many adopted as fact. More likely than anything, it was the NFL that chased teams off because Durant was the WR with the best chance to make it - he was that good. CGY could afford to take a flyer, and were probably doing backflips when Durant fell to them. I'm no expert or anything, but I did go to elementary school with Joe Poplawski's kids, so you know, we're pretty tight and I know a great Canadian receiver when I see one
  2. Richards needs to **** or get off the pot. Sure, you can measure success in a wide variety of ways... but if Addison Richards' goal is to make a CFL roster and contibute to that team's success... then thus far he has been a failure. His ship hasn't sailed yet though. He's just a popular target because of who was left on the board after he was taken... Daryl Waud, Lemar Durant, Shaq Murray-Lawerence... even Manitoba boy and recently coveted FA Kienan LaFrance was taken in the 6th round when Richards went in the 2nd. I know the draft is a crap shoot and every GM has iffy picks. Some are just more egregious than others after some reflection.
  3. I could handle seeing the ratio reduced by one starter. I like seeing Canadians play too, but it's hardly a deal breaker... I just like CFL rules. If the NFL switched to CFL rules today I'd have Sunday Ticket by tomorrow.
  4. It's a total ghost town. September 2016 is the last time a topic had double-digit replies. It's a shame, ob used to be my home-page.
  5. It doesn't seem very smart to air your grievances to the press immediately following a loss, but it's a lot more interesting than the usual "we just need to go out there and execute" canned response
  6. Looks okay now... I'm not having trouble accessing chat on my PC

  8. Promote Joe Mack? He is the current Assistant General Manager of Player Personnel
  9. Doesn't January live in Winnipeg year round now? I'm sure I've seen him around town a couple times this past year.
  10. Personally, I watch enough NFL to know I like the CFL better, and more importantly why. There are some pretty significant differences dontcha know! Aww shucks thanks Atomic, but I grew up in the 90s, so thanks but I've got piles of my own participation ribbons, you keep yours.
  11. You guys have convinced me. NFL OT rules are great! So great I think that some other sports should try to imitate them. Golf could take on a more cut throat approach. You and your opponent are tied on the 18th green, but they get to shoot first and sink the ball before you get a chance to putt? ELIMINATED. Enjoy the walk to the parking lot, loser. NHL shootouts could move to sudden death. If the first team to shoot scores, the other team doesn't need a chance to score back. Buncha participation ribbon wearing pansies! They should have just scored during extra minutes. In chess, putting your opponent into checkmate is so tedious. I think simply putting someone into check should be good enough for the win. Yay for CFL OT rules. You get to see both sides of each team compete for the win, and let the best complete team effort claim the top prize. The Pats seemed destined to win this game, I'm fairly sure their D would have stopped the Falcons anyhow, but it would have made their victory that much more decisive and impressive. On the other hand, who wants to watch more NFL football than necessary? That's probably the best part about sudden death OT and the NFL; it ends sooner.
  12. Easy guys if you say his name 3 times in one post I hear he stabs you through your monitor.
  13. The comments section on that page is pure distilled cancer.
  14. I've always preferred the game day thread over chat, and since chat was introduced the game day thread has become pretty barren. I'd probably use chat more, but I stream the games I'm not attending and suffer a 30 second day delay, making chat nothing but spoilers. I could live without chat.
  15. The words 'ball handed off to Brock Ralph' were said far too often
  16. That's true. Crazy to think we were a win away from hosting a playoff game that season.
  17. Michael Bishop is what happens to teams that jettison their veteran QB with nothing but hopes and prayers to fill in. Mike Kelly had a plan named Stefan LeFors. How'd that work out.
  18. It's like asking a crip 'what's wrong with being a blood?'
  19. I wonder if we try to bring back Gurley now. I suspect the Bombers let him drift to FA but I'm a fan and would like to see the Bombers deploy 'twin towers' on offense
  20. I was thinking something similar. Has anyone here played KOTOR? Bastila Shan, a Jedi trained in "Battle Meditation" could heavily influence the outcome of a battle using the force. Not sure if KOTOR is canon or not, but it damn well should be!
  21. Saw this on Reddit and thought this was the most relevant place to share it: The prequels are quite tolerable when you only have to watch 5 seconds at a time.
  22. I once encouraged someone to get one of either Poblah or Muamba on their jersey... stars in the making I told them.
