  1. She had an eating disorder 20 years ago so now doesn't deserve to act? What are you actually saying here?
  2. Home? It already happened with TJ Jones, an instant National star the league would have loved to have. There is life after football, even for guy's that didn't spend a couple seasons in the NFL. Rumor has it a lot of these guys went to college. Like it or not the CFL is the 'last chance league' for many Americans and if we want them to come play we need to give them what entices them to come North. What you're really mad about it players being given the best chance they can get to make money (the whole reason they are here, not out of the kindness of their hearts but or their burning desire for the game, its a business, you know this) The pandemic probably has a more to do with where we are at right now than player movement does.
  3. Still time but yikes...
  4. What are you guys saying the league should do about 1 years contracts? Mandatory 2 minimum length contracts? Banning 1 year contracts? What about 1 year extensions? Risky.... We won't be able to attract the players that are willing to come 'test the waters' on 1 year contracts or try to show off their talents for an NFL shot. Pretending the league has all this leverage is silly. We need the players, and the players want the option to sign 1 year deals. You know what happens when the CFL starts to dictate minimum length contracts and maximum earning potential? Players won't even bother. TJ Jones, anyone?
  5. Breaux in Hamilton, Mitchell in Winnipeg... there will be more quality Americans opting to move on, I fear
  6. Not enough of this happening anywhere, at any level. A lot of noise opposing it, though.
  7. When did the point of taking a 20% cut become 'hurting people'
  8. Since then he had a solid bounce back year with Hamilton doing both punting and kicking duties and going 100% in the playoffs. Is that not going out and doing your job(s)? Whats a guy gotta do? Not to knit pick but do you think the bombers asked him to make those videos? Marketing and all that?
  9. God Will Save Me A terrible storm came into a town and local officials sent out an emergency warning that the riverbanks would soon overflow and flood the nearby homes. They ordered everyone in the town to evacuate immediately. A faithful Christian man heard the warning and decided to stay, saying to himself, “I will trust God and if I am in danger, then God will send a divine miracle to save me.” The neighbors came by his house and said to him, “We’re leaving and there is room for you in our car, please come with us!” But the man declined. “I have faith that God will save me.” As the man stood on his porch watching the water rise up the steps, a man in a canoe paddled by and called to him, “Hurry and come into my canoe, the waters are rising quickly!” But the man again said, “No thanks, God will save me.” The floodwaters rose higher pouring water into his living room and the man had to retreat to the second floor. A police motorboat came by and saw him at the window. “We will come up and rescue you!” they shouted. But the man refused, waving them off saying, “Use your time to save someone else! I have faith that God will save me!” The flood waters rose higher and higher and the man had to climb up to his rooftop. A helicopter spotted him and dropped a rope ladder. A rescue officer came down the ladder and pleaded with the man, "Grab my hand and I will pull you up!" But the man STILL refused, folding his arms tightly to his body. “No thank you! God will save me!” Shortly after, the house broke up and the floodwaters swept the man away and he drowned. When in Heaven, the man stood before God and asked, “I put all of my faith in You. Why didn’t You come and save me?” And God said, “Son, I sent you a warning. I sent you a car. I sent you a canoe. I sent you a motorboat. I sent you a helicopter. What more were you looking for?”
  10. https://3downnation.com/2021/03/16/alouettes-receiver-quan-bray-made-a-mistake-being-arrested-with-157-pounds-of-marijuana/ "The Montreal Alouettes re-signed receiver Quan Bray after his charges for being arrested with 157 pounds of marijuana reached a conclusion.... One of the charges against Bray was dropped, while he pleaded guilty to the other and was required to pay a fine." I feel like it wasn't long ago carrying a bag of weed that weighs more than Weston Dressler would have netted you some jail time. I am glad he was able to be re-signed
  11. Carbon Tax isn't just about getting more tax dollars in the coffers, it's also about encouraging new (better?) habits like buying locally sourced materials and products, paying more for craftsmanship that lasts rather than relying on cheap/disposable crap (whether that's clothing, furniture, electronics, vehicles, construction, whatever...) There is a human cost involved in having same-day delivery, $1.79 cheeseburgers, and a new cell phone every 2 years. There are plenty of social issues that could be helped with the money a carbon tax would collect. I don't enjoy paying more in tax, but then again I'm not a big consumer and I believe we don't pay the real cost for things anyhow. The Value of Nothing by Raj Patel talks about this. Does it make sense that bananas from South America are $0.79 a pound? Imagine if everyone involved in getting a piping hot disposable cup of coffee into our hands every morning, starting with the bean farmer all the way to the fast food employee, lived relatively as good a life as the person drinking it... coffee would be a thousand dollars a cup! I'm not so naive as to think that could ever happen, and I suppose that makes me lucky because I sure do love coffee, cheeseburgers and bananas. My point being that funding research into an alternative fuel so that we can continue to exploit and consume at our current rates shouldn't be the ultimate goal. Maybe consuming less and being smarter with dwindling resources should be the objective. Like and Subscribe for more ramblings from a middle aged hippy 😛
  12. And jokes stop being funny when you have to explain them to people
  13. If they are anything like the young NFL fans I know, then that's a big fat NO. If CFL players were any good they'd be in the NFL, I'm so often told
  14. West Virginia just plucking it's Banjo and flashing it's tooth The whole country is a fly-over country.
  15. No shame in losing this one. Helle was unbelievable, Ehlers is heating back up in a big way... Tavares Matthews Marner... jee-zus they can be next level
  16. To this day my Dad insists (and I quote): "If you can't get 10 yards in 3 downs you deserve to turn the ball over. 4 down football is ***** football" Dad says no lol
  17. Why though? We should just pack some in our purses before we leave the house every day.
  18. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CMNKAxTAEq8/?igshid=bssk8tje9rop Q: Will the PC's commit to making menstrual products accessible in Manitoba schools so that girls who cannot afford such products are not forced to miss school? A: USB data blockers will protect young women from domestic violence ...what? To the people who say 'why should taxes be used to pay for menstrual products' I ask 'why should taxes be used to pay for toilet paper?' And then I'd ask them to explain what a USB data blocker does to stop domestic violence and how that is money better spent. **** this provincial government into the ground.
  19. Loving those MTL jerseys.
  20. What a beaut by French Jesus to close out the period.
  21. Him and Lulay made some killer money while winning cups, too
  22. Even worse than that, he took Rory Kohlert in the final round of the draft (a pending free agent with a handshake deal to return to Winnipeg) then went infront of the press and explained there was no-one else worth picking and he wouldn't have selected anyone from the Blue if he didn't have to. So he insulted us and Rory by saying he'd rather have had nothing at all than a chance to negotiate with a reliable N receiver. 2013 was my Nam. I have PTSD flashbacks every time I see someone straighten their tie
  23. I thought we'd be going after lesser-knowns like Quan Bray. Yep, Mitchell is our big splash
