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.   
 
 

And yet, there are tons of people in Saskatchewan who have no issue with that at all.

Captive hunting operations create interestingly blurred lines.

Best ever and it isn't particularly close. The only person who dominated curling to this degree is Kevin Martin (I just threw up in my mouth...) 
As mentioned, this is about being with the girls more. She deserves a chance to slow down and just be mom for awhile. The game has changed... you need to be throwing hundreds of rocks every day, and they're playing in bonspiels constantly. It's not just weekends. With travel, it's a week long venture every time. At some point, it's just too much. She has nothing to prove to anyone. 

No way in Hell that the CFL needs a sexual predator as even a minor player, let alone a star. I have worked with raped women and even my late wife who was a nurse suffered because of this sort of thing on the job. The damage is catastrophic in many cases, and rape has nothing to do with sexual gratification. It is an act intended to humiliate the victim and reduce her/him to an object of powerlessness and utter defeat. Most predators have been victims or vicarious victims but that in no way excuses them from responsibility or consequences. 

If he did what she says he did, then I 100% hope he's gone and never comes back. **** any ******* that tries that greasy **** on women.... and that goes double for Murphy, if he did what she says he did. He's even worse for trying to sweep it under the rug. *IF* what she says is true, they should both be long, gone and forgotten. 

I wondered what happened to him as he was a pretty good DL. He just disappeared from the CFL. Now, I know why, very, very sad. Just 33. I saw his online DL coaching site. RIP, Craig. Condolences to his wife Chelsea & their family.

Terrible loss for the family with such young ones involved. Always seemed like such a stand-up guy.
Sad that we have already lost someone that was a part of our championship family.
 

He sent my son a signed photo. He was pure class. 
He worked so hard on the dline bible. I followed him on Twitter just to see all the all the work he put into it. 
 
 

... and a bounus, a rare pic of Chris Walby in a suit (CBC days LOL).
 
Also a very young Walby ...

I've traveled a fair bit in the last decade. Canada,  us and a few places off the continent.  A lot of places I've been to, really make me appreciate winnipeg.  We have our issues,  no doubt about it.  But we have a lot in our favor too. 

Gonna have to check that out! tossing the link here to watch later and In case any one else wants to see it  
 

I thought Betts retired before the west final... otherwise surely he would have played in that game

Nephew gave me a call yesterday all excited that Demski and Neufeld read to his class.

Pretty good day at Clandeboye School today, both Willie Jefferson and Patrick Neufeld made the trip out and read to the kids for I Love to Read month. Junior was able to wear the Oliviera jersey he got for Christmas and got autographs on his W chain. 

Considering they’re making everyone the top paid at their position that’s a little rich. Only in their wildest dreams could they imagine getting Schoen for 230

I'm sure they're scratching their heads over why we're investing in our homegrown CFL All-stars instead of throwing money at washed-up free agents with disreputable character. That's how you build an 8-10 team!

I took a little trip over there myself and I thought it was very touching that they were worried about what the Bombers were spending.😁

Brady and Dalton back and on the same day. I saw this like an hour ago and passed out from joy.

And Sask got Thurman, Hardrick, and Ouelette  for that. 
I truly want Sheed to get more opportunity and money - but man would I hate seeing him somewhere else. 

It just hit me that we got Brady, Streveler and Schoen for a combined 580k.

What a lovely day
