This is an insane take. Have you never heard of Chris Benoit? I've met several people (mostly wrestlers) and MMA/Kickboxers with CTE and it is very obvious that some of them cannot process or think properly and have something very off with them. I've also visited nearly every reserve in Manitoba numerous times and what you are saying is something completely different. Some reserves are fantastic and others remind me of the original Mad Max movies. For the bad ones usually it has rampant corruption within the reserve where they maintain terrible traditions or behaviours such as pimping out girls when they are 8 years old to friends/family, lots of alchoal and abuse, lots of extreme neglect, all while the bad people are protected by the elders. Lots of suicides are a result from extreme depression and extreme abuse without being able to escape because everything is covered up. MMIWG exists because nearly every case is someone within the reserve committing the crime with others covering for each other. It's really sad. Suicides in reserves are primarily with younger people , I remember 5 or so years ago visiting a reserve where they had an epidemic where 20+ teens committed suicide over the course of one summer. Naturally the news never covered it. Usually for the people who can escape these places and find success in life do not commit suicide when they are 50+. It seems far more plausible that CTE would be the reason. Many times it is a vicious cycle where someone is in extreme pain from the CTE so they take drugs and the cycle continues to a point where they are so messed that they usually OD.

Nolan already denied doing the next one, he wants to do films with more creative freedom.

CTE?

Why? Bond when done right is a fun movie. I hope the rumours are true that they want to do the next series of Bond movies set in the 60's.

MMA/UFC was hot in Winnipeg but I believe after the incredibly dull UFC 161 it burned the city. The 2nd time they came back the ticket sales were terrible and they had to paper the show to help fill up the place. UFC will never come back to Winnipeg. Locally we had shows but it is far to expensive to run shows at the Convention Center or the arena. You can still watch amateur fights but it's not quite the same. Mike Tyson/Jake Paul is more then likely fake/fixed similar to some of Paul other previous fights. I would not watch this without expecting it to be a spectacle. Pictures? Also did you DIY the Virtual Pinball machine? I was planning on make one and wasn't sure if it was worth going all out with the shakers and the IR sensors that detect where you are standing to help give the 3d perspective on the play field.

That's such an insane request , I think in the history of the NFL maybe Brady could of made that kind of request and nobody else?
-
I found Lawler/Schoen were larger factors in bailing him out with amazing catches. Zach wasn't bad but he definitely has taken a few steps back in overall play. I'm not sure if it was a direct result in having lesser pass protection then from a few years ago.

Trevor Harris is 6'3 215 lbs and he gets hurt frequently as well. I don't think size is the issue. What will be an issue is going from a well oiled machine running on full cylinders to a team that for the last few years has been in a haze and completely dysfunctional. It makes a huge difference for a QB when he isn't continously under pressure, having to frequently go 2nd and long, receivers dropping balls or running bad routes etc.... Does Dru Brown have so much talent that he can elevate the mess around him, I don't think so. Hopefully Ottawa makes the right changes to at least give the guy a chance.

It's still low grade crap The new location is still a work in progress as per reddit.

Dragon Ball: Japan manga creator Akira Toriyama dies https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-68444060 Dragon Ball Z, Chrono Trigger, so many other things that he designed that I used to enjoy back in my childhood. Crappy

Ok in 2 years if the Jets were to trade Ehlers assuming he had 43 points at that point of the season people would flip out. Is that better? Most Ottawa fans are not satisfied with the return which was low.
-
1 billion.... that's insane.
-
No but trading away a 41 point scorer for a 3rd and 4th round pick is a steal. I'd imagine if the Jets were to trade away Ehlers for the same return that people here would flip out.
-
Wow what a terrible return for Ottawa, I'm shocked that they couldn't of got more for him.
-
It seems like the opinions are more mixed then "for sure" with him. It seems like drafting a guy on D or an o-lineman is a far safer bet with top NFL picks.

It's working for me and I can provide an update on what it looks like.... one normal post followed by a dozen unrelated ads or junk videos. You are not missing much!

I'm going to assume he is crippled by the time he is 40.

As per the TSN stats it shows 0 fumbles from Pigromes. As per CFL.ca it shows Pigromes as playing for the Blue Bombers and the stats don't even show fumbles because heaven forbid cfl.ca doesn't have comprehensive stats for the fans. -

I'm guessing the only way this happens is if the two guys they brought into camp look bad then maybe at that point they bring back Piggy. -

Drew Willy Brian Brohm Robert Marve Dom Davis Max Hall Jason Boltus Justin Goltz Alex Brink RJ Archer Joey Elliott Buck Pierce Brandon Summers Zac Champion Steven Jyles Casey Bramlet Ricky Santos Bryan Randall Richie Williams Michael Bishop Stefan Lefors This is the list that I could come up with.... a whole lot of yikes. I also didn't realize that Brink/Elliott lasted three seasons with us. During this timeline... the only QB that had a good TD to INT ratio was Jyles with 19 TD - 7 ints. A really ugly time. -
I guess at this point it won't make a difference since downtown is completely dead Still a dumb idea.

Do you have something in your past that you want to share? That's quite the odd stretching of what TBURGESS had said. Did you know that some women have made false claims of harassment/abuse/assault. It is possible. In the celebrity world just look at the Amanda Heard / Johnny Depp fiasco to see an example of a woman with zero reasons to make false claims as she is rich and famous.... yet she did out of hatred. -

I'd put the % of her being a crazy emotional woman wanting vengeance at quite a low percentage... but their is always a chance. I've seen enough videos online of crazy girlfriends using their cars to ram into an ex or them going to their work places and going ballistic to never say never. -

In fairness she could be mainly doing this for attention and/or to kill Kelly's reputation.
