Ok. But please provide examples. Right wing extremism is often defined by an anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ, anti-woman, anti-abortion, anti-science, anti-environment, pro-gun rights, anti-black stance. What is left wing extremism defined by in your opinion?

I stand corrected. The database I looked it up on was inaccurate. Thanks for the clarification.

They can also worry about these things, more than they need to…….

Nelson is decent at getting 7-8 yards where it looks like he might get 2-3, but he is not as aggressive at hitting the holes as Grant. But he doesn’t dance around a lot and lose yards trying to break one outside, so that is a positive. As for the ball security, he did bobble one catch but got it back quickly enough. However, Grant has not fumbled away any kick or punt returns in his time here either, so he is no less secure and is more of a threat. Nelson is serviceable but at this point is not stealing that starting job any time soon once Grant is healthy.

What is confounding is that they are so rigid in their belief and yet at the same time so susceptible to influence from outside sources. They won’t listen to reason but will be swayed by a perceived authority’s wrong opinion nonetheless.

Sadly it’s never stopped you from yapping.

Take that scenario and from the (d) point (the first one) that is the same for any fill up. Now remove parts a,b, and c and replace it with walking into the kiosk and waiting in line behind all other customers and then either paying up front and having to estimate how much the full up will be in cash, and then walking out to fuel up, or walking in after the fuel up to pay, or collect your change if you guessed the amount wrong and overpaid in the first place. You likely would have waited longer if everyone had the same payment point (inside the store with one clerk) than with each pump handling the transactions.

You’re the kind of tipper that makes waiters spit in the food.

And it will be. Slashing health care will be their #1 priority.

Saw a Twitter post from an ICU nurse. She asks the COVID patients why they didn’t take the vaccine. When they respond “because we don’t know what is in it so we can’t be sure it’s safe” she replies “I’ve given you 5 injections today while I’ve been treating you, and you haven’t asked once what was in what I was giving you and took it gratefully”.

Not when we are punting from inside the 40 yard line like we have been.

And I read it and all I see is this Nice to see that the end of 29 yers of futility made us all more collegial around here.

One question that needs answering before all others. Are Harris and/or Adams practicing today?

Why is it when someone writes “I know a guy who…..” I am convinced the only two possibilities are: (a) if it’s a story meant to make the storyteller look better by association (ex. I know a guy on the Bombers so I have inside Intel that makes me look smarter), then the “guy I know” doesn’t really exist, or I at least do NOT know the guy, or (b) if the story is kind of pathetic (ex. I know a guy who got busted by his boss for watching animal porn at work) then the “guy I know” is actually the storyteller themself?

The headache for the Liberals is that every vote that gets bled off goes against their total. Dissatisfied Conservatives will still vote Conservative before they vote Liberal or NDP. Dissatisfied Liberals likely won’t vote Conservative, but they will much more easily vote NDP instead. And any Liberal voter in Quebec has the Bloc as another option, but I don’t think Conservative voters are as quick to vote Bloc instead of sticking with their party.

Nope, they’ve just beaten them more handily.

Riders playing Ottawa at home, got to try William Powell again.

Fair point. So how about we figure out what type of fans Fox Creek and Steve the3rd actually are before sh*ting on them and telling them to leave. Because we haven’t seen enough yet of either type of extreme to make a conclusion.

If a coach approaches the field goal with the attitude of “if we miss this” then that screams to me a lack of confidence in the kicker, or the kicker themselves are saying to the coach “I can’t make it from here”. All teams have a dangerous returner who can bring back a field goal. At best this is an ultra conservative coaching approach that is playing not to lose rather than to win, which from your past comments on Tim Burke and LaPo’s offensive schemes is something you absolutely hate. In a one score game in the 3rd quarter, you should want points on the board, not give them a long field to march. Maybe with one minute left I can see it, but too much game left to ignore points. I’d it was a 55 yarder I could accept the logic, but I’d your offence gets inside the opponent’s 40 yard line in today’s game with kickers as refined as they have become, I think you should expect to come away with some points. But even an easy kick should clear 42 yards, no? Otherwise, as 17to85 said, you give that dangerous returner a chance to run it back, which is apparently O’Shea’s strategy to avoid according to him. Looking at Crapigna’s history, of 118 career field goals only one has been over 50 yards, and only 3 more have been over 48. In today’s game, that’s a weak leg. We’re we spoiled by Medlock, sure, but Bede, Paredes, Lauther, Ward and Whyte can all hit beyond 50 comfortably. It’s a big advantage to give up. Either Legghio fixes his accuracy, we trust Crapigna to kick something beyond 45 yards (hardly a big ask) or we start shopping for a new kicker before this habit of letting teams hang around bites us in a close game where we passed up on points. Just my opinion.

A field goal inside 50 yards (certainly inside 45) is not considered long in today’s league, and we have passed up on 3 of them so far. And judging by how Crapigna kicked those pair of 22 yarders, I’m seeing why they don’t trust his leg. He didn’t clear the end zone on either of them. And if we have such faith our defence is going to get a stop, then it shouldn’t matter if we pin the opponent inside the 20 to start, or give them the 35 with 3 more points on the board.

Name one disrespectful thing Fox Creek has said here. Has actually been quite complementary about the Bombers, and taken the good natured jabs with good humour. And for that, is being told to leave and go back to the inbred site and stop posting here. And yet you complain about the Rider trash dumping on rival fans on their site like we are so superior here. Every fan base has their jerks, but how about we give our new visitors a chance to enhance this board before painting them with the same brush we reserve for the worst of them. And yet from day one here Bluto was given the benefit of the doubt here, veteran or not. Just because we don’t like the Rider team and can cherry pick certain fans who are a problem (they exist on every team, BTW, even our own), no need to instantly drive away a rival fan who wants to engage in football talk and unfairly label them as deranged because they like the colour green and for no other reason.

Another take: 1. Sask (up from 2)- Even if some Bomber fans don’t want to see it, Riders are playing well and Fajardo is compensating for the patchwork o-line with his scrambling and quick release to a talented receiving corps. Ball hawking secondary and solid kicking game so far. They get top spot because they have done a better job at getting big leads. Big question, are they built for the playoffs? 2. Wpg (down from 1) - Even if some Bomber fans don’t want to see it, the offence isn’t quite there yet, and we lack trust in our kicking game. But the best o-line on the league helps the offence a lot, and the best defensive front 7 in the league is making this the most dominant defence seen in years. Still susceptible to letting an opponent hang around and steal a victory, but if defence wins championships the road to the Cup goes through them right now. 3. Tor (up from 4) - Took out perennial powers Calgary at home, and hung with the Bombers and won the run game battle. Had they started their better QB, they might be 2-0. 4. Mtl (up from 5) - looked impressive, but need to beat a better calibre of team than the Elks before they can be ranked ahead of the others. 5. BC (up from 7) - Still trying to figure them out. Do they fight back in week 1 or did Sask get complacent and give them garbage yards? Did they shut down BLM with great D or is Calgary falling apart? Michael Reilly gives them a good chance any given week, their kicking game at present does not. 6. Ham (down from 3)- Only the facts that they have lost to the clear top 2 teams in the league, had to play road games to start, and the ineptitude of the teams below them gives them a ranking this high. Their offence has not impressed, they are undisciplined, and they appear to be still trying to live off their press clippings rather than playing tough football and earning the praise thrown their way before the season started. 7. Cal (down from 6) - Ranked behind Hamilton because of who they lost to and due to losing both at home. Something off about BLM, but until he owns his own mistakes, acknowledges the talent of his opponents rather than expecting them to bow down to his greatness, and accepts his new teammates, or gets properly healed with all of his mystery ailments, not sure if they will be in the right headspace to climb out of this. 8. Ott (up from 9) - Yes they are 1-0 and ranked below winless teams, but they were really impotent in week 1 and should have lost. Still on track to be the worst team by year’s end. 9. Edm (down from 8. - Week 1 may have been a fluke, but week 2 left little doubt that this team is bad, and Trevor Harris couldn’t be bothered to put up misleading fancy stats this week. How all that supposed offensive talent on paper can be so ineffective is inexplicable.

I find that some of the fans here who gripe about fans from other sites coming here are also the ones who visit the rival sites themselves and criticize fans there of doing exactly what they themselves do here. I for one welcome fans from other sites. No one rags on Bluto for being here as an Argo fan. I get the knee jerk reaction to dump on all things Rider, but it doesn’t give us licence to be d*cks to individual people because they root for the green and we can hide behind a keyboard. If they become trolls, they will out themselves soon enough (see Migs, Zontar). But if we unilaterally kick off everyone who trolls, there would be a few Bomber fans here who would also qualify for termination. And rooting for another team is not the sole criteria for being a troll.
