  1. Agreed. I cannot think of another team that would put up with such deliberate flouting of rules and still keep the GM on. This speaks to the desperation of the Rider board of directors and executive to win at all costs, even if it means signing felons.
  2. 3downnation describes this as speculation that Barker will be serving as a consultant. Tillman must have some solid assurances that the Halifax franchise will be going ahead.
  3. "rear up" as in "to rear a child"- teach and guide. No butt-stuff reference.
  4. With pretty much all psychotropic meds, there are iatrogenic and paradoxical effect for a few, and these are unpredictable and serious.
  5. Does anyone else find it a little odd that the Bombers were able to find so many all-star linebackers but so few all-star QBs?
  6. Are you intimating that the Riders are indulging in some creative salary management? For shame.
  7. Gotta admire how many cameras they had on that game.
  8. Agreed to an extent. All we have is what we see on the field, and with O'Shea and Co. being so close-mouthed about what really went on during the game, we are left with speculation, and any one point of view has as much validity as the next.
  9. A good guy with no luck at all. Now he has time to work on his dance moves and he was paid well, so few tears for Mr. Willy.
  10. You want the racism??? You can't handle the racism!!
  11. Let us not forget our saviour Brian.....
  12. And to all, the best of the season. May you and yours be well and at peace.
  13. My girlfriends used to say that about themselves after an evening.
  14. My first thought was Brian Herosian, but on reflection, it should be Paul Bennett, and he was a Canuck to boot, was he not?
  15. Then they compared the sperm of 24 human men who smoked marijuana weekly versus a control group who used marijuana no more than 10 times in their life and not at all in the past half-year. In both cases — rats and humans — marijuana changed how genes work in sperm cells. By no means am I demonizing marijuana- in fact the evidence shows that it is likely less harmful, physically and socially than alcohol. But, for some 3-5% of users the effects are deleterious. One of the major problems in the debate is that the proponents cite research that is based on an era where the active ingredient was about 2-4% whereas the hybrid strains now have tested as high as 21%. There is no free lunch. There are benefits for some in using marijuana derivatives and there will be negative side effects for others.
  16. Disagree: We already know that cannabis lowers sperm count, but new research suggests that the drug actually causes changes to the sperm itself — which might have implications for the health of a potential baby. For a study published today in the journal Epigenetics, scientists at Duke University compared the sperm of two groups of rats: those who had been given tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, and those who had not. Then they compared the sperm of 24 human men who smoked marijuana weekly versus a control group who used marijuana no more than 10 times in their life and not at all in the past half-year. In both cases — rats and humans — marijuana changed how genes work in sperm cells.
