  1. I dont know who this guy is or anything more then the tweet...but it could be interesting Oh my bad....I read his tweet like he already had a meeting lol.
  2. Maybe for some younger players. But Franklin/Mitchell are long in the tooth. Are these more of "big name" players we were told have been considering retirement? What will the league do without who ever that WR is and a career backup qb? I do love that this kinda screws with the riders though.
  3. I'm not sure I'd call it "good". It's typical 3rdown put something out for the sake of putting something out. Someone notify me when there's actual news about this situation cause as of right now Naylor/TSN/3rdown etc is just putting out the same story via different words/headlines. It actually addresses that in the article. Saying it seems to be the hype of NFL that is drawing people and not the style of football....claiming the increase in NFL viewership in Canada doesn't correlate with an equal increase in american college ball. But yeah. "A significant number of people want 3 down football" is equally as true.
  4. I like how you're talking about rehabilitation like the Canadian/American systems have tried it. The system is strictly punishment not rehabilitation. Which is why the recidivism rates are so high. Which in Canada anyway, cost tax payers a tremendous about of $$. Not only in costs of running a jail (which I believe is around 100k per prisoner per year) but also whatever policing/repair/court costs etc that come along with them. Yes it would cost the government a lot of $$ but what else is knew. It's costing us alot of money the way we operate now.
  5. let me explain. my comment was in reference to the person(s) murdered. Not the suspect.
  6. Is there not a dead body?
  7. wha? How did you get that from what I posted? I'm on the same page as you. My only exception was for the .1% of people who are essentially psychopaths...which I then said But even then, I'm not convinced there isn't a solution that would help them re-integrate.
  8. When I first saw the dates on instagram I thought it was for this year. I was like why would they even bother. I'm glad they aren't just out right cancelling the tour like TOOL did. I'll gladly wait another year if it means I get to see them live.
  9. "Take high risk kids away from their parents? I don't think so. Incarcerate folks who may commit murder? Nope. Single them out for 'special' treatment? In this political climate?" it's cute that you don't think this is happening in todays society. And honestly I don't think your opinion is that unpopular. The problem is, in real life....those tactics don't work worth a damn. Not in our society anyway. The main reason for understanding the background of someone who murders, is so society at large can see where there may be gaps that can be filled my regulators, or social services or community groups etc etc etc. I get that TV shows and shitty lawyers make it seem like it's to excuse an individuals behavior. But the people on the ground level benefit from knowing so they can help those who may be going through something similar, or so they can develop resources to do that. What we know 100% - Jails don't work for 99.99% of criminals. Hurt people, hurt people. Early intervention (which can look like many different things) with those who have been hurt can be a huge determining factor in how their stories unfold Some people are just ****** and need to be removed from society. But even then, I'm not convinced there isn't a solution that would help them re-integrate.
  10. yeah understanding/empathizing with how someone came to a point in their life where an act like murder takes place has nothing to do with excusing their behavior. We need to know these things so we can work towards actually addressing the problems that lead to crimes being committed. Not only that, but there is undeniable evidence that our current punishment system does **** all to actually reform people. Soooo maybe doing something different like taking into consideration how someone ended up committing a crime is the place to start?
  11. with all due respect. I understand it all too well. Doesn't change that it's a waste.
  12. That TPR going up is not what we need.
  13. What a waste of a life.
  14. The only thing he's got going for him is his daily update on cases in MB. Other then that it's painfully obvious he has an axe to grind.
  15. Yeah it's easy to look back and say he will never be ready. But show me a NFL rookie QB who can go up against the leagues best Defence and be successful...not to mention the numerous calls that went against him and then add on the lack of play calls that suite his style. I'm not saying Streveler is some miracle man at QB, but to write him off is immature at this point. The one thing they could have done to actually make their team better and they still ****** it up! lol. serves them right. The leadership of that franchise is a joke.
  16. I believe that is Stegals 1st touchdown. Also...ugh...those jerseys. Just horrible. But man seeing the old barn really brings back some memories.
  17. And I definitely celebrated that this weekend!!! Ya ya!!!..... Just kidding I'm married with kids lolol 😔
  18. And this is just the perfect article to put out there right after your colleague calls you out for insufficient reporting. This says....exactly what everyone already knew. Congrats on wasting everyones time Naylor. BREAKING NEWS!!! CFL IN FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS. CHANGES NEED TO HAPPEN OR IT WON'T SURVIVE!! There...TSN hire me.
  19. I see Gable retired. Another victim of Covid19 likely. Good for him on his career though. I remember seeing a lot of talk online about "more" players going this route and was worried for a bit. But I honestly haven't seen anyone retire who is a really big loss. (yet).
  20. Friend sent that to me. Not gonna lie I could feel my blood pressure going through the roof. Lol then I realized what day it is. Got me!!
  21. He's become a good politician. Knows when/how to speak. And his roots in the community have helped him in that regard.
  22. At this point with EA it's probably better. Their last few madden games have lacked any creativity. Essentially the same game with slightly better graphics every year.
  23. Brosnan is far and away the worst bond.
  24. I had heard they weren't more deadly...please share if you find it.
  25. They might be...
