2023 regular season prediction thread
I like BC to finish second in the West, but I am still not convinced that Adams is the answer. He has all the physical tools but I doubt he has the mental abilities to be a consistent winner. Gotta be Hamilton in the East and after that, the rest of the teams are toss-ups. I am rooting for the RedBlacks to be a lot better this years.

Swarmay came into camp with little fanfare but was all over the field against the Riders. He is a rookie, though, but the talent and drive is there, so all that is needed is experience.

And now the 'Cats have Kongbo. That should make the game verry interesting to watch.

Credible reports indicate that a 300-man Polish volunteer force has joined Russian resistance forces in Belgorod.

Or he will expected to commit seppuku at midfield following any gaffe that leads to an opposition score.- Bombers Rookie Camp/Training Camp/Pre-Season Thread
With Kongbo, it was probably a matter of $. He will be missed but I am cautiously optimistic about our d-line, but not about our linebackers. I really hope Wade comes through- he looks to have a load of potential but the CFL game has so much motion that its easy for newbies to get confusicated.- The Gap Between MB-AB vs Last 3x GC Finalists, 2x Champs: A Mother-f***ing GDT!
That might be OK, depending on the belly-roll but a Speedo is verboten, as a thong.- 3 stars plus hh pre season part 2
It seems to be a feature of O'Shea that he hangs onto veterans just a bit too long and that is reflected in roster, but I have no doubt that when push comes to shove, he (and Walters) will do the right thing.- The Gap Between MB-AB vs Last 3x GC Finalists, 2x Champs: A Mother-f***ing GDT!
That is the major benefit of having a QB who is a threat to tun, even if he doesn't. It causes that extra second or two hesitation in the opposing D-line and linebackers and even affects the secondary. So many more options.- CFL - Pre-Season - All Your Non-Bomber News/Talk - 2023
I think they are both about the same and a major downgrade.- Bombers Rookie Camp/Training Camp/Pre-Season Thread
Cole has had his ups and downs so far but Clements has shown only occasional bits of competence, so I am losing confidence in him.- US Politics
Mike Pence Claims God Is Calling Him To Run For President Former Vice President Mike Pence said that he has heard a calling from God and he will announce his presidential campaign decision on Wednesday. Pence is participating in Joni Ernst’s Roast and Ride in Iowa: That is not the voice of God in Mike Pence’s ear. It’s his ego. Republican presidential candidates who claim that God told them to run do not have good track records, which means that God is a lousy pundit or isn’t really talking to these Republicans. Trump supporters think that Mike Pence is the anti-Christ, so could Pence possibly be confusing the voice of God with Satan? Pence has no chance of winning the Republican nomination, and when the only justification for his candidacy is God told him to do it, things will get very bad very fast.- Canadian Politics
Sooooo.....Harper's sorry record is irrelevant because its in the past but Kinew's is not. Okaay...- The Gap Between MB-AB vs Last 3x GC Finalists, 2x Champs: A Mother-f***ing GDT!
When Dru Brown came out, the offence was sort of ok but when Pigrome came out, the whole offence woke up, even before he took the first snap. Pigrome is a real talent and I hope he is coached to first look for the pass rather than run first. He looks to have at least a decent arm and good touch on the ball, so he has that ability. We have what seems to be a darned good receiver corps and using them will cut down on injury potentials and extend his career.- Bombers Rookie Camp/Training Camp/Pre-Season Thread
Sometimes either the Crown or the defence will ask for continuances due to either having a weak case (and hope for a plea deal) or the defendant has personal circumstances that present reasonable grounds for a remand.- Bombers Rookie Camp/Training Camp/Pre-Season Thread

With our Big Gun receiver sidelined, if he will be unavailable for any length of time, could we see Darvin Adams back here?- World Politics

Probably just a statistical blip, but in the Free Press today, the PCs were challenged on their claim that they have substantially improved hiring of medical staff and lowered wait times for surgeries but have no figures to back that up.- Canadian Politics
Ms. Smith may have to hold a yard sale to support them. Kinda interesting that this announcement came after the provincial election, though.- Manitoba Politics
This will inevitably fail when the validity is challenged in the courts as a violation of the Canadian Bill of Rights. This will give Ms. Smith another issue to wail over as an invasion of provincial authority. And she will spend millions appealing it- it's not her money after all, so why not? Only 10-15% of addicted people wind up on the street and the rest are driving trucks, enforcing laws, and providing health care, to name but a few professions.- Manitoba Politics
I think that Ms. Smith and her coterie will see her majority win as a vindication of all her far-right statements and hinted policies. She impresses me as not all that smart, and once she seizes onto an issue or position, she will ride it right to the wall. I think this has been mentioned here in this forum already, and if so, I apologize for repeating it. She has decided to form an advisory panel of failed UPC candidates to help her represent "all Albertans". I do not doubt that these will be well-paid. We ain't seen nuthin' yet. - Bombers Rookie Camp/Training Camp/Pre-Season Thread
