Lol you are nuts. The only guy better on that list would be Warren Moon and that's it. The training that MBT and coaching he's had in the NFL and CFL is light years ahead of anything from that era. The quality of opposition in that era is so far inferior to what he faces now that it would be way easier. Because the defenses sucked so badly in the 80's and 90's it's much easier for the offense to win the battles by purely chucking the ball in the general direction of the receiver. See Dunigan's record breaking game that I watched in person where he literally John Madden 1994 for the SNES chucked the ball in the air in the general area of Alfred Jackson meanwhile the slow and incompetent DB's were way out of place and running man to man and being completely loss making it easy for Alfred to catch and rack up the YAC. MBT would have a field day against those teams. Even if you hate MBT, Nichols, Collaros, Fajardo , Glenn anyone would of had great success. If you want any further proof... watch Mike Kelly coaching the Bombers and not modifying his gameplan to at that time current coaching methods. His antiquated and shitty old schemes were so terrible and so easily defended against that he had to revert to a really basic offense scheme which worked better.

But their is a massive gap in atheletic ability , training, schemes, and skills. How can you not over look how much better athletes are today compared to then? It's pure denial in people not wanting to believe that their childhood heroes would not stack up against the athletes of today. That's why you can't make comparisons between eras because it's simply un fair. If skill levels have not changed then why doesn't everyone in baseball hit 50 homers and have a 350 batting average like they did way back in the olden times? How come the total amount of goals in the NHL dropped sharply after the the trap era began in the late 90's. How come in the CFL it isn't shoot outs like during the Dunigan era... The players these days are light years better athletes, better trained, better coached... so you can't compare. The old eras wouldn't stand a chance.

If MBT can throw for 300 yards against modern teams .. he'd throw for 400+ against guys like Jayson Dzikowicz and Dave Donaldson.

But one player does not make a team. Seriously watch old games from the 80's its hilarious on how poor the goalies form are and how sloppy everyone is. I love watching it because it is so wide open and frenetic, but the talent level is far inferior. Flutie would not be the best player in the current league, defenses have changed so much that he's be contained in the pocket and all his underneath stuff would be gone. Watch back in the 90's when he played... defenses were super basic running basic schemes that rarely took into account dump passes and/or mobile QB's. Not to mention the DT of current day are monsters in size and speed compared to 1994.... Flutie was not that athletic. You have to take off the old man glasses saying "back in my day the players were better bla bla bla".... in that era they were great. In todays era they would not be.

I think Petermann is the dark horse that we really need to keep.

He'd destroy any defenses in 84 or 94. The skill level in the CFL itself has jumped massively over the years, Mike Kelly is living way in the past.... considering how outdated his offense was the last time he was with us which has been 11 years already.... the guy is way out of touch. I'd put MBT way over Jason Boltus in level of talent and that's a weird comparison. Boltus was probably the worst QB we have seen on the team to date... so if you are trying to say that that absolute worst present day player in the CFL would of failed back in 1994 then sure I guess? I'd say in 1994 only a small amount of the league (the elite players only) would be able to play in todays current game. Same goes with almost any team based sports. Same thing would happen if the 2019- 2020 Winnipeg Jets were to play the dynasty Oilers of the 80's. The Jets would obliterate them. The skill level of athletes of today compared to back then is night and day. Watch old games, while fun to watch because it's exciting... the skill is absolutely terrible for most of the players.

Comparing apples to oranges.... the quality of players playing now compared to then is night and day better. I'm sure McLeod Bethel-Thompson would tear up the league if their was a time machine and he could go back. Put almost any of the defenses of the league now against the offenses of 1994 and same thing.... Flutie and company wouldn't have nearly the same amount of success.

I really recommend watching this episode of John Oliver.... it's crazy what they get away with in the States and apparently in Canada also.

Wow with those salaries you'd think they'd be good Christians and donate most of their salaries to worthy causes rather then themselves?
-
Yikes! Is Vince Russo going to write for them soon?
-
Sting is in AEW? So can we expect Hogan / Bischoff / Hall / Nash to be on in the next few weeks? TNA 2.0?

I want Strev to play in the NFL long enough that he gets a pension and then he can come back to the Blue

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Trust me it is better that you remember it as what it was rather then what it became. It's just a sad crumbling building at this point.
-
Streveler would of thrived in the early 90's during the days when Christian Okoye would be given the ball to bounce people off of him for the short yardage TD's....
-
I still can't believe Calgary traded for Lucic.... that is the worst contract in the league and they traded for it.
-
I'm not sure if it's true but I read they want to go with a woman who is a person of color. Personally I think Ken Jennings would be the smart replacement that wouldn't drop the ratings.

It's not so much about the storage , it's more so about dealing with the weather conditions and being able to super charge the batteries at a decent rate with clean power. As I said before in remote communities many times they leave the trucks to idle otherwise they won't start back up from the freeze. I can't imagine batteries being able to run at it's optimal specs in weather conditions like that. Some of these remote areas also require you to drive 300 kms of pure wilderness and zero human contact. I know even in summer I get a bit anxious doing those drives even with a satellite phone and a full tank of gas. I know it's the minority of the overall population, but I can't imagine people in those areas being forced to buy electric.

I'm not sure if Save On Foods is an option for you but we've used them a few times and my parents are now using them all the time (they are old, dad is on Chemo) and they've been really good with being on time and picking good produce.

Hospitals barely any, my dad had to use my moms tablet to watch movies. Rest homes, not sure haven't been one in a while. Overall cable is losing customers at an insane rate so I'd imagine for the most part the only people who are dedicated cable tv watchers and nothing else would be limited to the really old seniors. Even baby boomers these days are into Kodi boxes and using netflix.
-
I guess for the older folks this will be good? Almost everyone I know that's my age or younger don't have cable and primarily stream from youtube or other places on the net.

In some places where I've been they run their Diesel trucks 24/7 in winter and have extremely spotty electricity. I know it's a micro fraction of the general population, but some folks it just won't work for them.
-
Not practical at all, how are they going to transport these kids, who is going to pay the insurance, who is paying to retrofit, are the teachers going to be completely cut off from being online or connected to the office. What if my kid gets hurt how am I going to know? Who is going to pay for the extra admin support required?
-
So that would force everyone to buy a hybrid or electric? I'm not sure how that would work up North where people need big gas guzzling trucks?
-
Nope the original place closed up and it's now changed to a different asian restaurant. I think the old one was called Asoyama.
