  1. We also don't have a population that comes close to 320 million. So what?
  2. Same goes for any QB with a last name that rhymes with silly. Better to trot to the sideline immediately head hung in shame for throwing an intercept and leave the cleanup duties to the likes of Smith and Dressler.
  3. I agree completely, Reality TV and the dumbing down of politics has brought us to the point were Donald Trump has a legitimate shot at being the next president. Spike Lee discusses Trump and this phenomenon around 9:00 in the following interview. http://www.cbc.ca/news/thenational/spike-lee-1.3509378
  4. Also if ball carrier runs into his lane, much higher chance he makes a tackle. If he's free-lancing on ST to increase his tackle stats he's not doing his job properly despite the numbers.
  5. I don't get your angle, you don't like their message but I doubt you're espousing censorship. You understand that the point of their shows is strictly to sell soap, right? Can't blame the producers if a great swath of the general public choose to reference their show and can't be bothered to watch the news in the first place. Just another step along the long path to the dumbing down of America. Edit: Dumbing down is the deliberate oversimplification of intellectual content within education, literature, cinema, news, video games and culture in order to relate to those unable to assimilate more sophisticated information. Watched a video the other day of some talking head interviewing Elon Musk about the Hyperloop concept. After he explained the basic design concept she commented that it all sounded very complicated and probably involved math, Yes dearie, unfortunately it does involve math as I would hope any design that shoots a projectile with people inside through a tube at over 1,000 kms/hr. might.
  6. This has the potential to be the news story of the year. I hope Quicken Loans lets these brave patriots carry arms on the convention floor and allows nature to take it's course.
  7. Players who's careers were terminated by lack of skill or injury. A lot of coaches did not play professional football but at one time that was their goal. What word would you like to use other than failure? Successless???
  8. Pretty sure Matthews wouldn't have taken two years to decide to cut Brohm.
  9. One thing to consider, compared to most HC's O'Shea has been a coach for a relatively short time period since retiring as a player in 2009. Most coaches are failed players who would have joined the coaching profession at the bottom rung in their early 20's after their playing careers were terminated by lack of skill or injury. O'shea is 45 and he got his first job in coaching when he was 39 after a lengthy 16 year professional career. There are exceptions to be sure but for the most part head coaches have 15-20 years of apprentice coaching in their pocket before they get a shot at the big job. O'Shea is a very inexperienced coach no matter how you look at it.
  10. Enough doubt not to convict in this case, happy to see that the courts did their job and didn't fold to public pressure.
  11. Nothing beats a beautiful piss trough for efficiency and cleanliness.
  12. Baseball legend Joe Garagiola dies at 90 http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15052693/legendary-announcer-joe-garagiola-sr-dies-age-90
  13. BC Lions sign QB Keith Price https://twitter.com/bclions/status/712682771865534465 Looks like Wally's QB pipeline has done gone dry. Heading towards the season with a wonky Lulay, an underpaid and disgruntled Jennings and an in-experienced Price is going to leave the Lions on the bottom of the pile. Wally's glory days are over.
  14. Much higher chance of being killed in a car accident than by a terrorist no matter the country, bad luck either way. Brussels is a nice place to visit, can't live life in the shadow of fear.
  15. I'm not sure a site like that even qualifies as satire as there is no evidence of humor or wit in their articles. They present themselves as a provider of both satire and real news with no distinction between the two and really don't explain their editorial objectives other than in that one line disclaimer. It creates confusion and it borders on libelous when they make up false new stories and pump them out on to the inter-web with no accountability and little indication that they are not presenting fact.
  16. You did notice this statement right? "HotGlobalNews is both a satire news site and real news site. Posts should be read at your own discretion." They also have articles with the following headings. "Justin Trudeau To Build “Statue of Trudeau” in 2017" "Justin Trudeau Arrested For Driving High Returning From New Year’s Eve Party." "Justin Trudeau Wants To “Temporarily Shutdown” The Internet In Canada To Prevent ISIS Recruitment" Not sure what the point of this news site is but there is satire and there is pure bullshit, this rag seems to be composed totally of the latter. Might explain what Harper has been up to since he lost the PM chair though. :-)
  17. Ottawa and Edmonton still squabbling about compensation over the hiring of Jason Maas. A compensation dispute between the Eskimos and Ottawa RedBlacks is back in the hands of CFL commissioner Jeffrey Orridge after the teams could not reach an agreement with help from a mediator on Friday. The teams have been locked in a squabble over Edmonton’s hiring of former RedBlacks offensive co-ordinator Jason Maas to be their head coach in mid-December. “We had a mediation and there wasn’t any obvious resolution so the matter will be deferred to the commissioner,” said Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group president Jeff Hunt on Tuesday. “It’s important to make the distinction it wasn’t an arbitrator who hears everybody out, then makes a ruling at the end. This was a mediator, who kind of tries to say, ‘Hey guys, can you work something out?’ We went through that process and we were unable to come up with an arrangement that both parties were happy with.” Full article. http://ottawacitizen.com/sports/local-sports/redblacks-eskimos-cant-solve-maas-dispute-with-mediator
  18. Somebody needs to tell Stanley that rag is to be used strictly for cleaning his cleats.
  19. Hopefully if you want to end your life you can go to a "specialist" who has some experience in this department. It may create a whole new niche market for "death clinics" staffed by doctors who were never very good at preserving life in the first place....off hand I can think of a few who would be well qualified.
  20. It looks like Bryant Turner has survived the purge and will be present at TC. It will be interesting to see how he performs with a gun pointed at his head.
  21. The CFL Rules Committee decides on rule changes, not Glen Johnson. He is just the striped messenger boy.
  22. As I suspected, they're more or less generic of sex.
  23. Patton has the speed but it remains to be seen if he has good hands, according to his college coach he was very versatile and a great route runner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F7MF1xuK-8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKcYO1vXiW0
  24. Best train song I've heard in a long lonesome time, better still this guy is Wpg. born and Red Lake raised and tours Western Canada regularly.
