  1. I like the way this Scoot guy runs. Looks to have breakway speed and is hard to bring down with a low center of gravity.
  2. And he carries water bottles awesomely.
  3. Yup. He could definitely turn anyone who was violent into strawberry jam.
  4. I suspect that this was what would be called a prophylactic or preventative measure on Goossen's part. If he really wants to be a police officer and buggers up a knee, elbow back or shoulder, that career is no longer an option. Sound logic, in my eyes. Better to jump before you are pushed. That way you can choose your landing spot.
  5. There will inevitably some discombooberation in the O-line, but I think we have the bodies to compensate. He is not a direct replacement, but Gray will be starting the season and that will give us flexibility. Thank you Matthias for all you brought to the team and us fans, and we know that there comes a time to put our toys away.
  6. Being cruel means you never have to say you're sorry.
  7. There are or rather have been a surprising number of Rider fans critical of Jones but they are threatened, suspended and/or turfed. Dissension is not to be tolerated.
  8. Some interesting bickering on Riderfans, with the delusional rabid fans claiming that this was no big deal, that the Riders will be better off, that Jones walked on water but will be easy to replace etc.
  9. Can't say as I blame him, what with all those expectations that he would field competitive teams and all. Weasels is as weasels does.
  10. "The Juice" looks quick and smooth, with the ability to find the holes in the defence. I would have preferred to have seen him go for more contested catches, though. Doesn't go down at the first contact, either.
  11. No, you're thinking of Chris Jones or Darien Durant.
  12. If Dickenson produces a winning record, no one in Sask will care. If the team slumps, the pitchforks will be out before Canada Day.
  13. Trump proposed taking money from Puerto Rico aid, the military budget and environmental departments. This will not sit well with many.

Trump, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C 1601, et seq.), hereby declare that a national emergency exists at the southern border of the United States,” the draft adds. The news came just after the Senate shot down by 50-47 Trump’s proposal to reopen the government, appropriate $5.7 billion for the wall, ban asylum claims at the border, and sharply limit eligibility for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and temporary protected status (TPS) while extending the programs for three years. Trump attempted to bill this as a “compromise,” but it was, in fact, a right-wing fever dream.
  15. Could I get that in writing for my wife? Just asking...
  16. You assume that the reference was to the Rider O-line. We could have been referring to disgruntled fans when their quarterback fails to win every game. Or they might dump a load of Regina gold on his lawn.
  17. And he rarely played for good teams and took some real beatings. He endured a lot of abuse from fans here and there but he was better than most of his peers. The biggest lack he had (some would say it was a life asset) was that he lacked a certain amount of fire in the belly. He tried to keep winning and losing in perspective and that drew a lot of flak.
  18. 'Cause its something that he has a lot of experience with and is good at.
  19. The meeting dates of the grand jury impaneled to support the special counsel’s office are as inscrutable as what goes on inside the chamber. But Washington Post legal specialist Spencer Hsu reports: The meeting dates of the grand jury impaneled to support the special counsel’s office are as inscrutable as what goes on inside the chamber. But Washington Post legal specialist Spencer Hsu reports that the jury has entered an unusual Thursday session—the first such session since July 12. That July session was followed the next day by a series of indictments. In that case, those indictments were against a dozen Russian intelligence operatives who were involved in hacking the email servers at the Democratic National Committee. The Thursday session has apparently featured an appearance from Andrew Stettner. Stettner is the stepson of professional conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi. Corsi was one of the first to push the idea that Barack Obama had been born outside the United States, and was a frequent guest and author in right-wing media pushing the “birther” myth. Corsi is also an associate of Trump adviser Roger Stone, and met with and worked with Stone during the Trump campaign. Corsi has previously been subpoenaed by Robert Mueller’s investigation to detail his conversations with Stone during the 2016 campaign and his knowledge of contacts with WikiLeaks. While Stone famously made public predictions about upcoming documents from WikiLeaks, it appears that at least some of the information spread by Stone came through emails that originated with Corsi. Corsi has also been subpoenaed to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee as part of that body’s investigation into connections between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
  20. To quote Leo Cahill: "He was so short that he would have to stand on two bricks to kick a duck in the ass"
  21. A prime example of stupidity can destroy even those with great talent. My sister-in-law who was 16 at the time, met him on the street in downtown Winnipeg and asked him for his autograph. He responded in the crudest of sexual terms. A real jackhole.
