I suspect the TiCats will try to go long as soon as possible to try to shake the Bombers' confidence, then hope their defence will hold the Bomber offence to FGs while the TiCats try to grind out the game with running and the odd sideline pass.

There is a special wine formulated for seniors with weak bladder control: "Pinot More"

Ours is tomorrow.

Certainly more urgency to the former.

Its ironic that both our GM and HC are from Ontario where fewer and fewer people care about the Argos and CFL. It does occur to me to wonder what they might accomplish in Toronto with a free hand.

Reports out of Edmonton is that the Edmonton Ungulates have asked for permission to speak to Mike O'Shea for the GM/HC openings there.

All the while deluding themselves that they are being persecuted for their faith like the Christians in Rome.

He needs a raise so he can afford to buy some socks.

The Eastern and Western finals will be replaced tonight on TSN

Professional sports are not a good place for someone with poor ego-strength.

Pain or no pain, he would not have the push he had before and would be a liability out there.

Or when he senses that his team is on the verge of imploding.

Michael Nesmith, Singer and Guitarist of The Monkees, Dies at 78 ‘ Michael Nesmith, the singer, guitarist, and one of the final surviving members of The Monkees, died of natural causes Friday, his family told Rolling Stone. He was 78. “With Infinite Love we announce that Michael Nesmith has passed away this morning in his home, surrounded by family, peacefully and of natural causes,” his family said in a statement. “We ask that you respect our privacy at this time and we thank you for the love and light that all of you have shown him and us.”

This will continue. The only answer is to charge any parent who does not get their kids vaccinated and those kids get very sick or die with criminal negligence. The same should hold true for community leaders (clergy and elected officials) who advocate for people to avoid vaccination with the same result.

It has to be a major incentive for a lineman to come into a team and culture where the O-linemen are dominant, appreciated and coached to be their best.

And the evangelicals are devastated at this miscarriage of justice.

If these same people who are comparing health restrictions to Nazi Germany thought that comparing them to the Smurfs would agitate their targets, they would do that instead.

Revealed: Mark Meadows possessed 'insane' blueprint for military seizing ballots after Trump's 2020 defeat Details of documents in the possession of former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows show that there was a blueprint for members of the National Guard and U.S. Marshals to take control of the U.S. election system following former President Donald Trump's defeat. After Meadows decided to abruptly withdraw his cooperation with the House Jan. 6 Select Committee on Tuesday, Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) revealed that Meadows had provided the committee with an email containing a 38-page PowerPoint slideshow titled "Election Fraud, Foreign Interference & Options for 6 JAN." Author Karen Piper reviewed portions of the slideshow and concluded that it was "nuts." "It's the craziest thing I've ever seen," Piper wrote on Twitter. She also described the document as "insane." One slide explains how National Guard in each state would be federalized to count only "legitimate" paper ballots. Meanwhile, U.S. Marshals would be tasked with providing a "protective perimeter around the locations." "A Trusted Lead Counter will be appointed with authority from the POTUS to direct the actions of select federalized National Guard units and support from DOJ, DHS and other US government agencies as needed to complete a recount of the legal paper ballots for the federal elections in all 50 states," the document states. Other recommendations include declaring a national security emergency. All electronic votes would be declared invalid under the plan and NASA astronaut Sid Gutierrez was slated to lead the task force. The slideshow is dated Jan. 5, 2021, which was just one day before Trump incited a riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Sen. Ron Johnson Falsely Says Mouthwash 'Has Been Proven To Kill The Coronavirus'. It hasn't, but the Wisconsin Republican is still spitting out COVID-19 conspiracy theories. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson told supporters Wednesday that mouthwash is proven to be effective against COVID-19, continuing his trend of spreading dangerous misinformation about the disease and its treatments. “By the way, standard gargle, mouthwash, has been proven to kill the coronavirus. If you get it, you may reduce viral replication. Why not try all these things?” he said during a telephone town hall with Wisconsin constituents. “It just boggles my mind that the NIH continues to tell people, ‘Do nothing, you know, maybe take Tylenol.’” Mouthwash companies and researchers in the field have drawn no such conclusions. Listerine, the top-selling mouthwash brand in the U.S., specifically states on its website that its product is “not intended to prevent or treat COVID-19 and should be used only as directed on the product label.” “No evidence-based clinical conclusions can be drawn with regards to the anti-viral efficacy of Listerine Antiseptic mouthwash at this time,” it says. Johnson has a long history of spreading COVID-19 conspiracy theories and anti-vaccine misinformation. He has promoted the use of unproven and potentially dangerous treatments such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, and he’s cast doubt on the efficacy and motive behind the vaccines ― which have been proven safe and effective to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Any inconsistency was the result of a rapidly evolving scenario but at no point did they say that the vaccination was unnecessary.

But think of all the money that is being saved.

Study says third shot of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine protects well against omicron variant Fears about the omicron variant's ability to evade vaccines may end up being overblown — at least, if enough humans are inoculated with a third dose of Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine. According to Pfizer-BioNTech, the third dose or "booster" dose of their patented vaccine protects patients against the mutant SARS-CoV-2 virus strain with an effectiveness comparable to how two doses defend against other common strains. The company determined this based on laboratory studies which revealed analogous levels of neutralizing antibodies, or the proteins produced by the immune system to identify and kill pathogens. There was a 25-fold drop in these neutralizing antibodies among patients who had only received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine, suggesting that the omicron variant may be able to more easily evade the protections in people who lack the extra dose. By contrast, if future research replicates these results, it indicates that three doses of the Pfizer shot will likely be enough to keep the vast majority of patients from developing serious infections.

MORE STUPIDITY FLEECING THE IDIOTS Anti-vaxxers are pushing this cocktail as a 'treatment’'for COVID-19 vaccines: report One of the kookiest claims of anti-vaxxers is that they can “reverse” a COVID-19 vaccination if someone has been vaccinated but now regrets it. According to the Daily Beast’s Mark Hay, the Niatonin Protocol is a mixture that anti-vaxxers have been promoting on a Telegram channel — although the person who developed it denies being an anti-vaxxer. “A few months ago,” Hay explains, “a channel popped up in the anti-vaccine recesses of the fringe-friendly social media platform Telegram and began extolling the virtues of the ‘Niatonin Protocol,’ a daily regimen of high doses of niacin, butyric acid, and a few other supplements. The exact cocktail is situational and ever-shifting. Through a barrage of anonymous anecdotes and jumbled, supposedly scientific explanations, the group argued this program was a surefire ‘antidote’ for the dangers — some real but rare, others seemingly invented — that they associate with safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines.” But Dmitry Kats, who developed the Niatonin Protocol, stressed to the Beast that he doesn’t consider himself an anti-vaxxer. Kats told the Beast, “I don’t want people to think this is particularly for vaccine injury-related issues. I’m not anti-vax at all…. I feel like it’s working brilliantly for many people.” Nonetheless, Hay notes, Kats participates in the Telegram channel “actively and frequently.” “On other platforms across the web — podcasts, videos, social media — he’s shared memes that position his protocol as a vaccine-injury treatment, appeared to equate elements of the effects of the vaccines and those of COVID-19 itself,” Hay observes.
