the watcher

Mike O’Shea took a few minutes Tuesday morning to step outside and look up at the sky as the Snowbirds flew a loop around Winnipeg as part of ‘Operation Inspiration.’

“I was actually standing there waving up in the air,” began the Blue Bombers head coach with a chuckle during a Zoom call with bluebombers.com not long after the flyover.

“I know they can’t see me, but I did it.”

This is usually one of my favourite times, when the players show up,” said O’Shea. “It’s just watching the interactions between the players who haven’t seen each other from whenever everything wraps up and guys have a couple nights out after the season. And some guys take off right away.”

I just have so much faith in the resiliency of the CFL and the people leading it that we’re going to manage to get this done,” O’Shea said. “It does me no good to think the other way.

“When Coach O’Shea called me and I saw his name pop up on my phone I burst into tears with emotion. Just to hear him say, ‘Congrats and we can’t look forward enough to having you with us and we’re so happy we got a chance to pick you.’ That’s such an amazing moment. I just kept saying, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you… ‘
“And so,” added Liegghio with a laugh, “I felt like I needed to call him the next day and have more of a real conversation other than just repeating ‘Thank you’ a thousand times over and over again.”

I laughed at the thought of him having to call Osh back the next day because he was too much of a mess the first time... ha ha. 

I second this emotion..

 

You can't carry a sign into the Michigan Capitol building. You CAN carry an assault rifle into the Michigan Capitol building. Friggen insanity.

Despite having to wait for our pick, it’s great to see and hear football talk!

Have to think the Riders will go offensive line. They aren't going to get away with holding forever

That team, complete smoke and mirrors show. The Bombers had a run of bad luck each of the past 2 seasons while the Riders had horseshoes so far up their asses it wasn't even funny. But playoff time we saw the difference. 
Given the age of the Riders they're going to fall hard and fast before too long. 

not sure why they cant have the whole thing on TSN its not like they are not starved for live content

Who the **** else couldn't be happier our team went and beat those green plugs and shut up their smug, big-mouthed fans in the West Final at IGF West?
The 2019 Roughriders: overrated chaff!

Hot take: Canada has dealt with Covid-19 much better than the U.S. due to being so familiar with the No Yards Radius.

hands down the absolute worse take on this topic.
 

it's not just hospitals that can get overwhelmed. it's supply chains in general if you get a bunch of extra people in an area that aren't normally there. We already see in large cities store shelves that are empty, don't need to put further strain on small communities. 

If this Pandemic has done nothing else it has shown the glaring difference in our two countries. Every time I watch the news from South of the border all I can think is " thank God Im on this side of the line ".Ever since Katrina I have been of the mind that we are watching a nation in its death throws. Violence, hate, anger, greed, an inability to pull together even in a time of crisis, a complete lack of empathy for each other. Its one of the few  countries  in the world that has allowed politics to take presidence over fighting the pandemic. Lots of mistakes have been made by many countries but always its been leaders TRYING to do what they think is right and best for their people. The real question for me is how far will the crumble go.

Saw an expert on cnn say they may have a vaccine ready for front line health care workers by fall.  It would be subject to special approval for that reason.  And a full public vaccine available widely by spring.  Which honestly sound like good news. 

Now, wouldn’t that be nice..
