  1. It's the rubber match between Nye and Steinberg based on their records. Go Steinberg.
  2. Signing Collaros and having faith in him and him rewarding us for that one of the huge tsn turning points for this organization. I’m hoping he retires a Blue Bomber.
  3. Ummmm not done yet. No saying that till Sunday night please.
  4. Awesome. I’ll ask the same question to another resident expert here @JuranBoldenRules?
  5. You’re doing such important work. We appreciate it. Well at least most of us do.
  6. Random thought: I don’t know why but a guilty pleasure of mine is to see a player get laid out right before he tries the put the puck into the net after making that lacrosse move by picking up the puck with his stick behind the net. I know it’s a super talented move but now I’d like to see an equally talented defensive move in thwarting it.
  7. Yea I know, 'fake' news. Tons of articles, verified stories that say otherwise from reputable public health experts. This pandemic is fake Sheep, wake up! Sure thing Karen, Todd.
  8. I know I may be overrating him but I think Dane Evans is the wild card here with how well we defend him. We do that we obviously win handily, we don’t game on.
  9. Also I assume they’ll try to get the ball as much as possible in the hands of banks thru the air and ground in every way possible.
  10. Hey the three of us over here in Ontario take offense to that.
  11. Wise words to heed for all of us. Easier said than done, ie addiction to it. Maybe compromise by picking your spots on social media that bring good not pain.
  12. Okay another addition to your post. 🙂 We will also hear, 'oh yes I share your opinion because it's based on solid facts but come on we, even though all these facts are readily accessible for consumption thru a variety of venues, need to respect and give a platform to these people to share their opinions that make no sense, have no basis in fact and are hurting other people besides themselves financially, socially and health wise.
  13. The only thing I would modify on this post is these 'critical thinkers who refuse to sheepishly follow what the the government says to do' will post a few links showing a few traffic experts with years of experience shows stop signs and red lights actually cause more deaths than prevent them even though the majority of his colleagues in this field suggest otherwise.
  14. In a nutshell, this is the issue for all our woes. As the Verve would say: Tryna make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die.
  15. Wow I’m glad that’s all cleared up. Nothing to see here. Please move on.
  16. Again, humour is a beautiful teaching tool.
  17. Can we finally all agree that our PK needs some major overhauling. It is not a pretty sight.
  18. I hear what you're saying and for the many significant issues we continue to face in this world this is a great approach and reasonable people will continue to advocate for it. However specifically when it comes this global pandemic and the death and destruction left in it's wake, I struggle with this statement, specifically around your use of the word reasonable. Maybe 5 to 18 months ago while the science community and public heath experts tried (and still are learning more) to figure out how best to deal with the pandemic absolutely. But now? Reasonable people still need convincing in how to help themselves and others (e.g., vaccines, hand washing, mask wearing etc) to thwart off the impacts of this pandemic? At what point when there is loads of hard evidence available do you drop the word reasonable to describe people who still resist and/or advocate for giving people a platform to suggest the world is flat and/or the Sun sets in the East etc etc?
  19. Nope, from what I've seen here, I think most people (not all) do indeed want to ensure we get it right and not want to be self-righteous by belittling others when it comes to getting this pandemic under control. I'm thinking most of us didn't want to inject foreign substances into our bodies if we didn't need to. But Science is getting it right. What indicators would tell one no amount of convincing is working, no amount of tailoring one's approach to help the other person understand using the strongest evidence available is working to change their mind? Once that's been determined that we've hit that threshold that no amount of respectful convincing will help, what do you do with that person? Keep doing the same things? I really liked how Lester Holt put it using the Sun as an example: “The idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in. That the sun sets in the west is a fact. Any contrary view does not deserve our time or attention.” If people and their livelihoods are being hurt by the 'argument' that the Sun sets in the East or are just skeptical about the Sun sets in the West , how much time should we be using to convince people that the sun sets in the west if we've exhausted every possible respectful way in trying to do that? Because at some point, as you ironically wrote, nothing is going to change if we give our time and our attention to people either arguing against fact or people who say we should respectfully give people a platform who argue against fact. The longer this 'hear from all sides' approach, i.e., alternative arguments to the analogy Sun sets in the West lingers on, specifically when it comes to getting this pandemic under control we're going to pay heavily and not in a good way but yea lets make sure we don't offend anyone who respects an argument that the Sun sets in the East. Tolerance levels are being heavily tested by those who still believe in giving, as Adam Grant would say, serious consideration to the strongest evidence available even when it contradicts our hopes, beliefs and biases.
  20. Definitely a guy like DW seems to be a repeat offender but to be fair I think it's a league wide issue with receivers getting away with pushing off (including our sacred Bomber receivers). It's rarely called. I've always felt offense gets a huge advantage when it comes to what one can and can't do when fighting for the ball.
  21. I'm purely guessing but I think CS remains 100% committed and focused to continuing to try to secure a spot in a NFL system. The CFL is currently only on his radar from a cheering perspective.
  22. Please don’t use that word. It’s ruined forever. These same boo birds are the same ones posting on social media how they knew all along the Bombers would win the game.
  23. Yup but I’m giving Dane a bit more cred from what I saw of him last week. He looked jacked as in the zone against the Argoblows. Message to me is ensure he never gets into a rhythm knowing tho him and Masoli will have a lot more to deal with our D. Also ensure Banks has his palms out all game shaking his head as he sulks back to his bench.
