TEAM NOTES - WINNIPEG @ EDMONTON GAME #69
This is interesting, cause I had this clearly baseless idea that Nichols and the team had a fair number of come from behind games.

"Trump orders FBI probe" Just look at how stupid that really is. And Maybe his nominee is feeling a little less confident now, and might even be working up a bit of a sweat.

Another instance where Canada looks very good compared to the U.S. Our Judges are appointed by party in power, but a person like Trump's guy wouldn't have the slightest chance of being on the Canadian Supreme Court, no matter which party was in power. Course we did have this guy, out in Alberta But he was kicked off the Bench.- TORONTO 3-9 @ CALGARY 10-2
Not saying Mcleod isn't any good, but ....not much of a find, if I knew about him five years ago. He's been around for years. two or three NFL teams, a few Canadian teams, hasn't stuck anywhere, this is is his first starting job, and he's thirty years old.- The Environment Thread

Have to wonder if some people in the Republican party are now wondering about their own position re charges recommended by Mueller inquiry. When Mueller brings a charge, it seems to stick. The once noisy, and highly visible Nunes character seems to have gone very quiet. Same with the first daughter, (as she calls herself) and her wonderful husband.- US Politics

Maybe if Chris Jones wasn't the coach and manager it would be slightly less difficult for people. Only slightly mind you. According to MBB The Riders were slated to be dreadful this season, comically bad, so the team must be just lucky. lol. Made worse of course, by the Bombers being pretty bad. It's a tough season for hardcore Rider haters. And there are a lot of them here.- Around the League: 2018 Season
Paul Maurice sometimes resorts to cliches, but also gives a lot of information in his interviews. Considering he's talking to the media before and after every game, well done. He also never gives the impression that a question is stupid, or that he knows far more than the person asking it.- EDMONTON 7-5 @ OTTAWA 7-5
what did Harris see, when he threw that int at the goal? three Edmonton guys around his receiver, basically impossible to complete a pass to that receiver. wierd. looks like Harris just throws it to the first receiver he sees, even if the guy isn't open. not scanning the field much at all. Maybe Harris can't read a defence. Boateng seems to be pretty good contrary to popular opinion. field goal record, all his kicks are from the red zone, no wonder he never misses- EDMONTON 7-5 @ OTTAWA 7-5
- Game Day Thread- Week Fifteen, GAME 13: Als @ Winnipeg Blue Bombers September 2, 2018
saw a few of his plays with the Browns, that's what he did there as well. Won't work. I guess he's still going with what worked for him in college.- Game Day Thread- Week Fifteen, GAME 13: Als @ Winnipeg Blue Bombers September 2, 2018
The radio broadcast was somewhat enthused about how well both of them played. According to the radio broadcast, Manziel can make all the throws. I think Doug pointed to the Montreal O line as being little or no help. Sounded like Manziel under pressure sometimes runs quite a ways backward from the line. That definitely won't work in the CFL. Skip Cox.......Even I was surprised that Montreal signed/played Skip Cox this season. He didn't look very good last season.- Game Day Thread- Week Fifteen, GAME 13: Als @ Winnipeg Blue Bombers September 2, 2018
actually, last season, when they were the league leading O, some people were critical of Lapolice. Went through a lot of complicated hoops to explain how that could be. So for them, this season has just proven that THEY WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG!- US Politics
I read an article about investigation of sexual assaults in Minneapolis. No wonder women don't report these assaults. Every day Trump keeps digging that hole he's in.- US Politics
Trump supporters. I guess Trump will condemn this right?- So, Apparently Johnny Football Will Start For Als.
Silverback that all makes sense, our young qbs are virtually unknown. so much hype for RG3, for instance. also, money, NFL salary cap, a young qb is a lot less money, so they have money to put into other positions, if the young player can do ok, or better.- US Politics
I was scanning the AM radio last night for some sports , tuned in some American stations, which at night are mostly right wing talk.... They are really ratcheting up the racism and hatred..... against blacks and Hispanics. I guess it's always been there, but, somehow, I thought we were a bit further along. One of them was shocked and angered that millions of Americans don't speak English at home. lol. Not that they couldn't speak English, but that they chose to speak something else at home. promoting racial and religious prejudices, anyone who uses that to gain money and power are without redeeming qualities. But there's money in it. have to take a break from their doings for a few days.- So, Apparently Johnny Football Will Start For Als.
No I agree that is not easy. But it's not insurmountable. the American receivers have to adjust to it. so do the Defenders. Why can't the QB? I'm not trying to say that it's great to start a rookie. I'm just saying sometimes it might be better than starting an experienced player who for whatever reason has not been leading. I guess it's a question of how many chances does Nichols get, and how poorly does he have to play, before Streveler starts. - TORONTO 3-9 @ CALGARY 10-2
