  1. seems odd to get rid of the guy running the highest scoring offence, using a fairly average qb, and (so I'm told) substandard receivers. Nichols was not exactly standing in the pocket waiting for players to get open. Maybe that's why there was nobody there for him to throw to. Is it possible something with his preseason injury affected his confidence, or willingness to take a hit? Specially after his injury when at Edmonton hampered his career.
  2. People should have a look at the seth abramson thread on trump saudi arabia. T Westwood has it.
  3. Don't think Nichols, at his age, is going to learn anything new, or change what he does. What we've seen, is what we'll get.
  4. Not sure signing Bighill is going to be easy.
  5. Renewable energy jobs is one of the fastest growing sectors in the US. But don't let that get in the way of a good campaign contribution. ( Rubio... it’s too expensive to do anything about it.) anyway. somewhat hopeful article about the chances of averting the worst of a warming planet. https://e360.yale.edu/features/the-essential-front-in-the-climate-battle-altering-public-attitudes "Major shifts in attitude and behavior have occurred time and again in the social and economic spheres. Think, for example, of the transformation that occurred with respect to cigarettes, as near-universal social acceptance gave way to smokers being relegated to sidewalks or cordoned-off smoking rooms. Consider the rapid shift in thinking we have seen on same-sex marriage or about what is happening right now in regard to sexual harassment and the #Me Too movement. These are different kinds of issues, to be sure, and decarbonizing the global economy is clearly a challenge on a vastly larger scale. Still, all these issues come down to human attitudes. And when norms change, they can change decisively and drive political action with them. Recall that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both opposed same-sex marriage in their 2008 primary battle. A few years later, that would have been unthinkable, because attitudes and expectations had changed." Read another article about this, that something seems unlikely to happen/change, then suddenly, it's done.
  6. I will post climate change info at that thread.
  7. So....if I understand correctly. 1.David Suzuki says that science has shown that mankind is raising the temperature of the planet. 2. But. David Suzuki lives in three houses, and flies in planes. 3. Therefore. Mankind is not raising the temperature. good stuff.
  8. I don't mind Nichols saying he played well. But Earlier game this season, he said, receivers weren't getting open. Think it was after playing Calgary. I also get tired of our side telling us how fantastic Calgary is.
  9. masoli looks like he's no better so far.
  10. Hamilton d had the look of quitting on that opening Ottawa TD .
  11. Masoli ...... Can he play better second half? Rose actually flattened the ref.
  12. rose should have been ejected, no question.
  13. "The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a high contrast imaging instrument that was built for the Gemini South Telescope in Chile. The instrument achieves high contrast at small angular separations, allowing for the direct imaging and integral field spectroscopy of extrasolar planets around nearby stars. The Gemini Planet Imager is being used at the Gemini South Telescope, located in Cerro Pachon, Chile. It saw the first light in November 2013, and entered regular operations in November 2014.[2] It is designed to directly detect young gas giants via their thermal emission. The planet 51 Eridani b is the first exoplanet discovered by the Gemini Planet Imager. It is a million times fainter than its parent star and shows the strongest methanesignature ever detected on an alien planet, which should yield additional clues as to how the planet formed." These people are doing astonishing work.
  14. There are so many good guys on the team. It's amazing. seeing a group of people working together like these guys are. Also, I like Walters sneakiness...... only team Drew didn't hear from prior to the draft, was the Bombers. Walters.....lurking in the weeds. imagine the GM's that are kicking their own asses over Streveler.
  15. setti institute has taken actual images of exo planets
  16. Harris interview, might have been a radio interview... said the same thing. There have been games where they just stopped running the ball. Maybe they've changed that approach.
  17. His followers are consumed with and driven by hatred, anger, and the idea that they are deserving of everything and others nothing. That everything is against them. "the war on christmas" I heard a right wing radio host ranting about "parasites" in America. Not much doubt who he was referring to.
  18. looked unintentional to me. He's never played dirty. The one on Messam, I think it was Awe, where it was clearly intentional... ejection and suspension. there are clear cut cases.
