So I'm not a human doctor but I am an aspiring plant doctor. I have a limited grasp on plant viruses, and though we are not plants the viruses we host are not all that different in their modes. Especially not in their end goal which is to live and spread and they can't do that in a dead host. If it has time and supply, presumably the virus will fine tune to just be enough of an ******* to keep us sick indefinitely, but still hosting and spreading until something else finishes us off without ever directly being the 'cause of death'. I can confidently say that viruses hosted in plants have been around a lot longer than most human-hosted viruses for sure... (plants were here before we were, generally) and these viruses have fine-tuned themselves over millenia to maximize the time they can live and spread within a host before it succumbs to whatever else is killing it and the virus must spread in order to live (can't live in a dead host, obvs). Again speaking generally, plant viruses don't kill a plant, that's never the goal... it just weakens it to other attacks that cumulatively take it down. Now how a virus reacts when only 80%-90% of a tightly packed population gets vaxxed? No idea, never been done with plants that I know of. Plant viruses don't get vaccines*, they get suppressed by eradicating infected crops (I think this is a bad idea to do that to people, just to be clear!) or they hybridize the plant to improve it's resistance to known viruses. Since we humans are all the same species sadly we have nothing to hybridize with. Maybe Bat Boy, and I just don't trust bats right now. *There is one plant considered valuable enough to whip up a vaccine in order to stop a virus, and that is tobacco. When TMV (or tobacco mosaic virus) hit, growers didn't have to worry about 30% of their field being vaccine hesitant, lucky them

What will Stanback be seeking if he outperforms Carey in 2022?

@Noeller Isn't this the guy from your old avatar?

Schiltz is terrible? Relative to QB play around our league today? He's about as good a backup anyone can hope for, and could start for a weak team (OTT). CFL takes what it can get at QB. Schiltz has won games as a starter in this league. We are very fortunate to have Collaros, that much is clear. I'm not looking forward to wandering the desolate QB-hunting grounds in the future.

-- Speaking of bad adaptions I loved to watch, Wheel of Time was bingeworthy, had plenty of wow moments (cold open to episode 7 my jaw dropped), and is on deck for an even bigger budget in Season 2. It's not a shot for shot retelling of the books and thank goodness, we might actually get somewhere with this

Yep without any prior knowledge of the character that trailer reveals nothing I would think. This is one of few Marvel heroes I can nerd out about to some extent and I'm also pretty puzzled. I know MK has multiple personalities or covers he bounces back and forth from, but it wasn't 'split personality' type stuff where a guy would wake up with a gun in his hand not knowing where it came from. As with all origin stories I'm sure they'll make their own twists to suit the show's style and make for (hopefully) good TV. Who cares about perfect adaptions as long as it's worth watching. All I know is this is a solid leading actor and as hokey as the costume looked I'm hopeful

So we can all agree the D plays a huge role, but Collaros can extend plays and evade pressure like no QB we've had in some time. Collaros keeping the O on the field helps the D stay fresh. They are 2 sides of the same elite coin

I'm not a big Marvel TV or movie guy, but once upon a time I read the comics... and I loved Moon Knight. This will be on my watch list:

One thing Gray has over Desjarlais is a longer reach and stride but he's in no way gangly. I could definitely see him as a RT And we did quite well over those 12 games

Agreed, but Kyran Moore can pile up YAC yards, he's part of the reason Fajardo looked at all decent in 2019. SSK probably believes he's critical to their offense, and he just might be

Good news everyone! We can let Collaros walk if we act quick and snap up Dominique Davis, he finally shook loose from the RB's

The only thing that could make that worse... would be a speedboat

Dane Evans is very promising, I think he would look great running our offense at a bargain. That would definitely help keep other pieces in place. But I would hate to be the GM that passes on a QB who could have (would have) won us our third cup in a row. We know how Collaros looks in our offense and it's uhhhh pretty good

I don't think Collaros should sign for anything less than 500k as I think he could get more elsewhere, but we do have that Oline and who wants to voluntarily play against the Blue 2-3 times a year? Bonus money, personal health and likelihood of success all factor in

LOL I knew it was coming I just didn't think it would be so fast, colour me impressed guys!

It's about as crazy as Bomber fans saying we would have for sure won the 07 cup if Glenn hadn't broken his arm. Fact is we'll just never know.

You can be an arsehole and right at the same time, you do it constantly

That article highlights Sasks inability to assess and retain talent more than anything else. It's not the gloat it is meant to be

We joke but Reinbold to Ottawa isn't the craziest thing I've heard, though I don't think he and Lapo ever worked together before. Lapo seems to like familiar faces

Nuts. First concert in 2 years tonight... cancelled two hours before gates opened. I'm deflated. Nowhere near back to normal, yet...

ya the question comes around 3:20 and O'Shea gets pretty fired up starting around 4:00 I can imagine Friesen squirming until O'Shea apologizes for lecturing haha
