  1. With pretty much all psychotropic meds, there are iatrogenic and paradoxical effect for a few, and these are unpredictable and serious.
  2. 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?
  3. Are you intimating that the Riders are indulging in some creative salary management? For shame.
  4. Gotta admire how many cameras they had on that game.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. You want the racism??? You can't handle the racism!!
  8. Let us not forget our saviour Brian.....
  9. And to all, the best of the season. May you and yours be well and at peace.
  10. My girlfriends used to say that about themselves after an evening.
  11. My first thought was Brian Herosian, but on reflection, it should be Paul Bennett, and he was a Canuck to boot, was he not?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Pot usage is not all that innocuous for some. Heavy, continued intake can trigger psychoses, overwrite DNA in sperm and even cause lactation in males due to suppression of testosterone. Those who use THC to self-medicate anxiety or bipolar disorder (etc), typically do not get better from the presenting issue.
  15. I do not know how much benefit the third bye week is to players, but I would be in favour of one less bye week and moving the Grey Cup up one week.
  16. It could also be named for a popular short-sleeved knit shirt.
  17. Looked to be a horrific injury. Can't blame him- in a few years that ankle will be arthritic as heck.
  18. Touche' Spuds. Now lets see how that turns out. When Chamblin was HC of the Riders, all was well when the team was winning, but his rants in the locker room were apparently epic and his public one not much less so. But he will be in Toronto, so that sort of thing would probably never be noticed.
  19. This debate over who to hang is unresolvable in this forum. We do not know and will probably never know who called what play, and who screwed up . The evidence is in the game film and the logs of the OC, and we will not see those. Part of O'Shea's modus operandi is to trot out platitudes and not tell it like it was. There is the need to not throw a given player or players under the bus, but the assembled faithful would feel a lot more involved if we had a sense of what was really going on and how it was going to be addressed. All we have is speculation and that gets old real fast.
