  1. Any inside info or theories on why Cameron Judge has not signed anywhere yet? Figured him to be the crown jewel of free agents this year.
  2. Ambrosie starts modelling scarves, next thing you know, those equality types are going to start wanting female refs!
  3. Ok, it’s been an hour and not one person jumped on my comment and responded with “no, he said respected around the league”. I am extremely disappointed in all of you.
  4. Ok seriously. So far today Brandon has announced that he’s hard because of roster signings, Blueandgold is announcing his preference to abstinence over an unhappy sex life, and JCon just broadcast that he only gets laid every other year or so. Match.com fellas or it’s going to be a long Valentine’s Day for all 3 of you. TMI !!!!!!!!
  5. I hear Troy Westwood is looking for work.
  6. Used horribly? You mean because he actually had to throw the ball? Kind of a requirement for a QB.
  7. I hope they go with “elements” because then you could have all sorts of fun with that. Because like the element hydrogen they are full of hot air, like zirconium they have an overinflated and phony sense of value, and like sulfur they stink.
  8. I think you are trying to be a little too critical of his wording. Were the 2001 Stampeders a dominant team because they got hot in the playoffs when it mattered most? I think a middle ground can be taken. We were good and at times very good in the regular season, but floundered when injuries hit. We upped our game in the playoffs beyond anything we saw in the regular season. I would agree that Hamilton are probable favourites, and we may be favourites in the West, more so because of who Calgary and Saskatchewan have lost. But 2 seasons removed from action, who can really know how any team will perform?
  9. Here is an article about the provisions of the Constitution about impeachment and the precedent for impeaching someone out of office. And as a matter of logic, every single outgoing President between losing the election and Inauguration Day could essentially break the law with reckless abandon and fear no consequence if impeachment were not allowed for someone out of office. That defies all common sense. https://www.justsecurity.org/74226/history-shows-the-senate-can-hold-an-impeachment-trial-after-trump-leaves-office/
  10. But Don Jonas got traded and you still love him, no?
  11. Torts is an idiot. If he really wanted it to “stay in the locker room” then a very public benching in his 4th game there is a dumb way to do it. Even if you don’t get into specifics you’re not exactly keeping it private. Smacks of “handled internally, no issue, next question”. How about coaching your player rather than embarrassing him? Can’t imagine why PLD ever wanted a trade. 🙄
  12. That’s baloney. He was already insufferable way before the trade.
  13. Here’s the progression of the test positivity rate and the trends in the last week: Mon. - 89 cases/1603 tests=5.55%, 3 deaths, 104 hospital, 27 ICU Tue. - 83/1410=5.89%, 0 deaths, 99 hospital, 24 ICU Wed. - 126/1833=6.87%, 3 deaths, 105 hospital, 22 ICU Thu. - 110/2183=5.04%, 2 deaths, 109 hospital, 20 ICU Fri. - 110/2232=4.93%, 1 death, 115 hospital, 23 ICU Sat. - 82/1529=5.36%, 4 deaths, 101 hospital, 23 ICU Sun. - 80/1434=5.58%, 4 deaths, 105 hospital, 21 ICU Today - 53/1373=3.86%, 4 deaths, 105 hospital, 15 ICU And active cases got cut in half over yesterday, so clearly some data backlog clearing. So we ARE seeing a drop in new cases that is not just because of fewer tests, even though tasting was lower (probably due to the cold as you say). Besides, if people won’t go out and test because of the cold, then they are at least socially distancing by staying at home as well, so that will keep infection rates down.

  15. It has to be said...... WTF is this half time show in the hall of mirrors?
  16. Thank you for the correction.
  17. Post deleted. False source. Appreciate Rich for pointing it out.
  18. Here is some background info on the source. https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58a08b80e4b0e172783a9db4/amp
  19. Polio was a virus, it has been eradicated.
  20. Not to get too far ahead here, but a reporter on 1290 yesterday was essentially talking about Marty in the past tense, so I suspect his passing is imminent. Great coach, just could never get over the hump with talented teams. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kshb.com/sports/former-nfl-head-coach-marty-schottenheimer-reportedly-moved-to-hospice-care%3f_amp=true
  21. Start at the 8:37 mark. Or cut to the chase at 10:13. Either way, I have found the best remedy is to starve him of oxygen if you don’t like him. Not literally, and not via the ban hammer. Just tune out his noise. Don’t worry about discrediting his sources or challenging his version of spin with contrary opinion or facts. Just act like he didn’t even post and carry on with the conversation. And when he whines about the “echo chamber” and “closed minds refusing to accept differing points of view” (Kellyanne Conway called them “alternative facts”, which by definition cannot exist) understand that he does it to get a rise out of people and to get them to follow him down the rabbit hole to get a sense of gratification out of it (he will deny this point I strongly suspect) because he is being heard. He may have some interesting tidbits to post, unfortunately for him so much of his past posting history (notably in the Climate Change thread) is so one-sided and debunked, that his reputation as an objective or credible poster here is shot. And that is of his own doing. So if you want to spend time debunking him further, have at it. It gets kind of fun to see how fast you can sow doubt into his sources. But there is little point in getting upset about it. That is his oxygen. And it seems to me that this approach of just ignoring him and pretending that he didn’t post anything worked before. Once his contrarian climate change posts were simply passed over, he got bored of being invalidated and “took a break from the echo chamber”. Now he’s back but his habits haven’t changed, so there is no reason to give him a new chance at legitimacy. Differing opinions are certainly allowed here, and we can agree to disagree, but if you can’t back up your position, use discredited sources, or just turn a debate into a personal insult like “you just don’t want to see the truth because of a character flaw” (radical left, right wing racist, and Rider fan seem to be the go-to’s here at this point in time) when you get challenged, then your schtick will get tired quickly, whichever side you are on. In my opinion, the best way to remove these types is to pretend they did not post. Or write “TLDR”. (My personal calling card) 🤣
