Ain't no such thing as normal in Alberta. Unless you assume that acting like Alabama is normal. FYI: today the death rate per 100,000 in Saskatchewan was the highest in the country, and most US states,

There is almost always an exception to rules. Brady will simply be a little later in his retirement. I pity him with all that money and a gorgeous wife to fall back on.

Further to Wilder's situation: its been proven again and again that talent is not enough. He will not be missed- the only ones to suffer from him being cut will be his family and community in the US. Then we can do without him if needed. He would have to be darned good to crack the lineup.

If its structural damage to Harris' knee, he's done for the year, and bringing another NI running back would make sense. Especially if he's a good one. Harris has more days behind him than in front of him and retirement is inevitable for all players.

Reports about her problematic behaviour on set were circulating for months before she was canned.

In the media, this is called "throwing red meat".

Are you sure that is not a Sun op-ed?

Do not lump all followers of the Christ into one. Most of us are decent people who care about our friends and neighbours and use His teachings to guide our lives, our conduct with others and the world we all share. Again, there is a small but vocal and annoying minority who use their beliefs to justify no end of doing harm to others and aggrandizing themselves as somehow morally superior. There are similar people within Jewish communities (Lev Tahor), Mennonites (Old Order) as well as Muslim and even Buddhist.

Far-right website claims that Christians should see dying from COVID as ‘a good thing’ Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the MAGA movement and far-right Christian fundamentalists have downplayed its severity — inspiring critics to slam MAGA as a suicidal "death cult." Christian fundamentalist Joy Pullmann, in a shocking op-ed published by the far-right website The Federalist on the day of Gen. Colin Powell's death, argues that Christians should welcome death from COVID-19, like any other cause of death, as "a good thing." And she attacks the "pagan assumptions" of those who argue in favor of widespread vaccination. "For Christians, death is good," Pullmann writes. "Yes, death is also an evil — its existence is a result of sin. But thanks be to God, Jesus Christ has redeemed even death. In his resurrection, Christ has transformed death into a portal to eternal life for Christians…. The Christian faith makes it very clear that death, while sad to those left behind and a tragic consequence of human sin, is now good for all who believe in Christ." Of course, not all Christians share Pullmann's view that the deaths of the COVID-19 pandemic — which has killed more than 4.9 million people worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore — are "a good thing." Countless Catholic and Mainline Protestant churches have tried to keep their members alive by encouraging vaccination, protective face masks and social distancing. And pastors in the African Methodist Episcopal Church have gone out of their way to help people in the Black community find COVID-19 vaccines. But as Pullmann sees it, churches that have encouraged social distancing and tried to prevent their members from dying from COVID-19 have behaved sinfully. Pullmann writes, "To forsake assembling for worship also breaks the Third Commandment, 'Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy'…. It is time for Christians individually and corporately to repent for the way we and our institutions responded to the COVID-19 outbreak. Our refusal to preach and obey the clear teachings of the Bible amid the world's panic have betrayed Our Lord. Thanks be to God, there's a way out for us." Pullmann argues, "Our Christian heritage also rejects the avoidance of death at any cost by venerating the millions of martyrs we honor precisely for choosing to confess Christ despite the indescribable costs to them of comfort, health and life itself."

But who would be the holder?

Surprised that Ford managed to go this long without saying something stupid.

Good. He ought to be sentenced to community service on the COVID CCU ward. And the church ought to be chained shut until the pandemic is over.

Colin Powell Is Dead—and Donald Trump Is Insanely Jealous It’s official: Donald Trump is jealous of a dead man. In, of all things, a fundraising email sent out to supporters Tuesday, the former president trashed Colin Powell, the first Black American to be secretary of state and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the four-star general who led U.S. forces in the Gulf War, as a “classic RINO” who was “always… the first to attack other Republicans.” Trump’s sick eulogy went on to assail Powell because he “made big mistakes on Iraq.” Powell, 84, died Monday of COVID-19 complications as he battled Parkinson’s disease and a blood cancer that suppresses immune response. His legacy, many outlets have noted, was “stained” by his 2003 justification of invading Iraq to the UN Security Council, which he based on faulty claims of weapons of mass destruction. Trump’s email, sent out to the “Save America” mailing list assembled by his political action committee, railed at the “Fake News Media” who covered Powell’s death “so beautifully.” Either bitterly or wistfully, Trump then added, “Hope that happens to me someday.” The former president and Powell were intense critics of one another, with Powell publicly lambasting Trump as a liar and “dangerous to our democracy.” Above a button to donate to the “Save America” campaign, Trump concluded his email with the best wishes he could apparently muster: “But anyway, may he rest in peace!” Colin Powell Is Dead—and Donald Trump Is Insanely Jealous (thedailybeast.com)

Powell was also suffering from cancer for the past couple of years- a karmic consequence to the suffering he inflicted on the Iraqis and his own soldiers.

Sounds like a knee injury of one sort or another. He still ought to have time to R&R and get back for the end of the season.

Powell readily promoted the Big Lie about weapons of mass destruction as the face of the Bush 11 war promotion, and was thus responsible for more than a half-million deaths. He had a repentance later, disowned the GOP and voted for Obama, but the damage was done.

And if Liegghio could get out of his head, he ought to be a whole lot better.

True, but it would have made a great feel-good story.

I know, but when he left the team, there was speculation that he had a lingering injury but would return when healthy. He had a pretty good good NFL resume and size, so I was hoping he might be an option for the team.

This film ought to set the franchise back a couple of decades.

That would make so much sense for all concerned that it will never happen.

Reilly must be reassessing his life choices right about now.

It was a fairy-tale season for the Blue, but everything we get this season we are going to have to earn.
