  1. Disasterous status for both seasons.
  2. Perhaps so, but the fates of Thomas and Kolankowski are inextricably entwined with the fate of the 2026 Bombers and fan confidence, not to mention game attendance, so it is stil a live grenade.
  3. The success rates in the US penal system are very low. The longer people are incarcerated, the more their sense of social connection, like skills and integration detreiorate and more "normal" becomes warped. In Sweden, Norway and Holland, they are closing jails as a result of emphasizing rehabilitiation rather than punishment. It takes a shift in the justice system but it pays off in financial as well as societal ways.
  4. I suggest that Kolankowski is an even biggesr liabiity. Thomas just gives up yardage., but Kolankowski gives up free runs at our QBs.
  5. That would depend on your definition of justice. I have had some experience with the American penal/justice system and can tell you that there is very little attempt at rehabilitation- only incarceration in an often brutal system. Their recidivism rate is the highest of any western industiralized country despite having the longest incarceration rates. Most American jails are privately owned and run and rehab programs are detriments to the bottom line- profits. The longer someone is in jail, the greater the likelihood they will re-offend.
  6. If memory serves, the copyright has to renewed every 20 years or so or it becomes public domain again.
  7. If you can remember dinosaurs, you are old.
  8. Listed as 6'4"and 300 lbs.
  9. In my work I came accros people who had every advantage and ability, yet chose to screw up their lives, and those who would have reason to lay down and let life run over them, but picked themselves up and made a good life. Past a certain point, no matter your past, your life is dtermined by your choices.
  10. It would remain the CFL: Continental Football League He is gonna havta get the player next to him to wear half of his name on the jersey.
  11. Sorry- was referring to Mitchell who played like wanted to be anywhere else.
  12. The league could have sponsored him, like the Eskimos paid other teams to come to Edmonton for playoff games.
  13. Jackson should not be blamed for the flaccid offence this year. Collaros did not have the time he needed and looked tobe a lot worse than last year, our receivers were a shambles and our OC would not do well in a high school league. And our head coach shrugged all concern off and did nothing, or rather he did the same old same old which did not work in the past two years.
  14. He was a disaster waiting to unfold and ought to have been weeded out before he arrived here.
  15. It wouldn't be long before he said to himself. "Urine trouble".
  16. That would be a cake walk.
  17. Oh, damn- one less mediocre restauant to not patronize. My absolute favourite breakfast place is The Original Pancake House. The giant apple pancake is a good excuse to sleep the rest of the morning, but my 16 year old son ate TWO of them in a single sitting on a dare. We didn't see him again until well after lunch.
  18. It is obvious that Hogan is a goner, but this process seems very....clumsy and unprofessional.
  19. The thing I noticed is that he seems to be a "run first option", and that does not bode well, even in the CFL. Well, we do have restaurants named for him., just like Sean Salisbury.
  20. Oh, if only we had signed Dinwiddie first.....
  21. I thought I was wrong once, but I was right.
  22. Chris Jones in Toronto would be very, very entertaining- for the rest of the league.
  23. As you say, replacing Oliviera with an import back ought to be easy, but we have not had much success finding dominant import running backs. If we have a dominant set of receivers, then ahaving a decent, if not all-star RB is not ctiical, IMO. He would just have to be good enough to rack up 4-5 yards from time to time to keep the Linebackers honest.
