Starting to sound like Al Bundy's five TD game...

"Since 1986, The Carter Center has led the international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease, working closely with ministries of health and local communities, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and many others. Guinea worm disease is set to become the second human disease in history, after smallpox, to be eradicated. It will be the first parasitic disease to be eradicated and the first disease to be eradicated without the use of a vaccine or medicine." (Jimmy) Carter centre. The Carter Center, in partnership with Emory University, is guided by a fundamental commitment to human rights and the alleviation of human suffering. It seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health.

I honestly don't see anything wrong or insulting about what he is saying. He's just admitting to not being able to grasp fairly simple rule changes. And this is likely because he didn't put in the work...sorry, it's absolutely because he didn't put in the work. Now he's going back to a game he knows extremely well. And I honestly think Johnny is going to get back to "star" status in the AAFL, mostly due to the QB protection they have there. What are his strengths? Creating time, moving out of the pocket and getting away from pressure. He won't have nearly as much pressure to escape, not even on par with what he faced in college. He'll do very well in that league, get an invite to the NFL again and flop once he has to play real football.

I see Johnny is still riding hard on the laurels of his college days, that was 6 years ago Johnny, if you want to be a professional you have to put in the work.

basically....I was not smart enough, or good enough to translate the two different games...in a nut shell so when he flops down there and shows he is average at best..then what?..His CFL exposure ruined his years and years of training?...what a doucher Hasn't seemed to effect many many guys before him..and many with lesser hype succeed and flourish

Always worth the read! Thanks for that. One of my fav parts: Damn I miss him already.

Hey I will have you know that Selkirk-Interlake is a very progressive and forward thinking area that is in no way shape or form filled with rednecks...... oh no wait, the opposite.

I see your Al Bundy and Raise you an Uncle "Quarter mile" Rico:

so I'm assuming that it'll end on CBC as well since there was a statement by the Levy's https://tvline.com/2019/03/21/schitts-creek-renewed-season-6-pop/ and btw MAY 31ST https://tvline.com/2019/03/21/deadwood-movie-trailer-hbo-revival-video-premiere-date/ official announcement should be soon https://tvline.com/2019/03/21/the-conners-season-2-goodman-gilbert-metcalf-goranson-renew/ and it's official but not all the deals are ironed out yet (most of the cast is expected to show up in some capacity) https://tvline.com/2019/03/22/the-conners-renewed-season-2-abc-cast-returning/

There is always someone who will bring him into training camp to create some buzz. I doubt anyone will give him a real shot though. "Work" doesn't describe what a person needs to put in to be successful for any length of time as a professional QB. It has to be all-consuming.

I can't see anyone in the NFL taking a shot at Johnny Rotten. He doesn't work hard enough and never will.

Not sad to see this guy go.

It was a shame last summer to not be able to take drinks from The Common to an outdoor seating area. The existing restaurants that have patio space there are really crappy.

I'm betting that Carter will not last the year with the Lions. He is a ****-magnet and cannot shut his mouth if his life depends on it- and his CFL career does.

https://www.tsn.ca/a-solution-to-the-cfl-2-0-roster-question-1.1276955 The most mysterious element to the ongoing Canadian Football League labour talks is the question of how the rosters will have to adjust to accommodate the incoming recruitment of players from around world. In what has been tabbed CFL 2.0 by commissioner Randy Ambrosie, the league sees a future with players from countries like Mexico, Germany, Italy and France playing in the league. The idea is to diversify the league with an international flavour, in the hopes of creating broadcast audiences in the countries these players come from. In January, the CFL held a combine and draft in Mexico City. This upcoming weekend's annual CFL Combine for draft-eligible Canadian players in Toronto will include 18 European players who've been invited to participate. But what no one understands yet – and what must be determined during the current CBA talks – is how these players will get onto a roster and how they will fit in with the CFL’s current ratio of Canadians to Americans. Will they have to earn their way onto the field or will they have starting spots designated for them? How do you make that work without someone surrendering some precious ground, like the 21 roster spots presently dedicated exclusively for Canadians? These are complicated questions with difficult answers. Surely you can’t add such a dynamic element to your sport without there being some significant changes to the construction of rosters. But it’s important that the league gets this right so that the integration of international players doesn’t disturb the integrity of the sport. So here’s a solution that would make sense and allow international players to become part of the CFL when they are ready to do so, without drastically changing the role of Canadians in the game. The CFL should drop the minimum number of Canadians on every team from 21 to 15, opening up six spots on every roster for which global players can compete. The reality is Canadians would retain most of those spots. But if a player from Germany or France can legitimately beat out a Canadian for one of those six spots, he should be on the roster. If there are no global players worthy of beating out Canadians, then the number of Canadians on every team would remain the same – 21. But this roster tweak opens the door for global players to be part of the CFL when they are ready and allows Canadians to compete to keep their jobs. The requirement for seven Canadian starters per team should be changed to Canadian or global players, giving players from around the world the same opportunity to start that Canadians have, providing they are good enough to be on a roster. Teams would have an incentive to identify and develop talent from around the world as there would be significant value in a global player who is good enough to start. There have been suggestions that the league could mandate that two of the seven starting Canadian roles must go to global players. But such a move, were it implemented right away, would result in 18 starters across the league’s nine teams next season, most or all of whom wouldn’t be as good as anyone else on the field. That’s depleting the product and providing global players a handout. Making them compete with Canadians for one of six open spots on each team would allow the CFL to gradually become more international over time as players from around the world are able to legitimately vie for jobs. Until they can, the league would – and should – remain Canadian and American. The end result over time would be fewer Canadian players in the CFL as the talent pool from around the world grows and improves. In this sense, it’s no different than there being a lower percentage of Canadians in the NHL now than there was before the arrival of players from Europe. There are still a lot of Canadians in the NHL, just as there will always be a lot of Canadians in the CFL under this model. Ambrosie is fond of drawing comparisons to other leagues and pointing to the positives when international players arrived, be it the dawn of Yao Ming in the NBA or the early trickle of NHL players from Europe. But those players, and every other international player in the NBA or NHL, earned their way into the game. That needs to happen in the CFL, which is why global players must be forced to compete with Canadians to be part of a team, not handed a job despite being inferior to players groomed in Canada. It’s inevitable that some kind of change is coming. The CFL can’t introduce a bold new vision and expect everything else to remain the same. But it needs to happen gradually, making sure international players can join this league once they are ready and able, while protecting the integrity of the sport along the way

I'm certain the charges against Wanzhou would disappear if China gave into US demands on trade. I'm certain the detention is politically motivated. I'm also certain Huawei was "illegally" dealing in Iran and that many US companies are too. But, we have an agreement and until the US drops the charges or she's extradited, we have a legal obligation. This does not help Canada-US relations because it's obviously politically motivated.

neither Connor nor Ehlers is going anywhere....but yes, Connor is a far more important player.

Yup. We cant thumb our nose at agreements with the US just because of Trump. In fact, I doubt it much matters. The people running those departments on both sides likely have much more respect for each other than any national leader can change.

sweep and shut out

Do you think he'll serve a bunch of congealed hamberders?

Sad to see him go, but he was a solid starter when here and now the business end of things kicks in. Clubs and players don't always have the same agenda.

Maybe $7 just from league inflation...

https://3downnation.com/2019/03/21/canadian-dl-nate-anderson-performs-at-university-of-missouri-pro-day/ Still say this guy will be our 5th overall pick - his stock will jump fast

Or he's simply just a lousy QB at the professional level... Hence his failures as a professional QB in the two highest professional leagues. The extra man on the field has nothing to do with it, Johnny. Good riddance.

Yeah someone else assumed that it would just be the area around the Common but someone else suggested it was much bigger...which made me think the entire Forks. I dont head out there often but at, say, Pride, especially when the weather is really good, I've waited in line to get into the beer garden and you just feel like you're totally separated from the rest of the festivites. Let the whole area be licensed with pop up bars. More money for everyone, probably more people attracted and there is little negative. People who stumble up with their paper bags will do that any way. The big concern would be underage drinking, but again, a 16 year old who really wants a beer will get one. Just have enhanced security checking ID from time to time. Other places do it. So its fine. What did they do for the Jets playoff parties? Was the entire area licensed?

The smart folks at Skyscrapgerpage are alluding to a rumour that the Province will allow open drinking at the Forks. ie. an expanded licensed area. Someone said "a chunk (of The Forks) being licensed is an understatement". I've often thought this makes sense. When there are events going on there and they shoe horn people into a beer gardens. Just let people drink throughout the area during specific times. Would be a major development though, almost unheard of around these parts.

If Sophie's choice here im going KConn but like Scheifele, Nik is on a good, long-term deal. As always, does KC want to be here long term? We shall see else Trouba'd times ahead.

Not the same thing- I agree that the pesticide "issue" is a political one, but the Triffid Flax issue was very real. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/attack-of-the-triffids-has-flax-farmers-baffled/article4216261/

We're holding her because Huawei was illegally trading with Iran, which are under sanctions. (Yet to be proven in court) Whether you agree with the sanctions or not, we have an agreement with the US. We wouldn't want them breaking that agreement and, despite having a bigly idiot as their president, they remain our most important ally.

SPOILER ALERT!

The Ducks are such a joke. No wonder they're so bad... Just a buncha dirty plugs.

Oh just remembered how much I dislike Perry.

Who's that old man next to Keanu? His grandpa or someone?

In 1852, when California was just two years old, Thompson began working for Thomas Knott, who owned a store in Placerville. While working in the store, Knott offered Thompson $2 to take mail and messages to his sawmill in Genoa, 90 miles to the east over the snow-covered Sierra Nevada. Instead of using snowshoes, Thompson built 10-foot cross country skis that weighed 25 pounds to traverse the dangerous terrain. They were the first skis anyone had ever seen in the region and, just like that, skiing in Northern California was born. Later in 1855, Thompson read an article in the Sacramento Union titled People Lost to the World: Uncle Sam Needs Carrier. Past mail carriers had difficulty traversing the snowy mountains and “Uncle Sam” was offering a lucrative contract of $14,000 a year for anyone to take the job. It took a specific specimen to be able to accomplish the task. At six feet, 185 pounds, the sturdy Thompson was able to carry the 100 pound load of mail and ore while simultaneously controlling his massive skis. https://activenorcal.com/the-legend-of-snowshoe-thompson-the-founder-of-california-skiing/?fbclid=IwAR1IG2WVSvz6bAP8OQl1G8CuGlLPh4s_-sPQRVFxiC3LUOpP1UiL0nxG9xM stayed at it for twenty years.

Man i hate that they discontinue stuff just so they could make way for new stuff. I still miss the boston cream piescraper

He's invited everyone to DC for a big party. July 4th. New thing, going to big. Fireworks and whatnot. I bet he gets a good showing. I bet it's so bigly, that we see spontaneous parties breakout across the country. It will be a big holiday. Huuuuge. Everyone will say it's the best thing a president has ever done.

You obviously have never referred before...or else if you did, you were perfect. Yes, the refs in the CFL do get it wrong sometimes...at times even ***** stupid calls. But heh, NFL refs make some really bad calls and they are full time. If I'm a player, I'd feel like cussing out a ref sometimes too, but I'd expect a penalty for it.

I want Notley to lose in Alberta, and move to BC. If the NDP here in BC would have her as leader, we'd be so much better off. Notley is a freaking dream compared to the dumb-dumbs we have here.

Dude I am one of those hurting oil patch workers. Geoscientists were hit harder than anyone else in Calgary, but if you think Jason Kenney is going to magically make jobs reappear you are beyond hope of being reasonable. Notley never promised a pipeline in exchange for a carbon tax, it was framed as showing good faith negotiating with Canada and it did a lot to get the general public in Canada on her side, problem was BC was never going to go for it without a massive pay out, and do you think Jason Kenney was going to give Alberta dollars to BC? I don't. I say she is pragmatic because she put a lot of those socialist ideals behind her to work towards was is best for Alberta. That's the kind of politician I want. Someone who is about the common good as opposed to their ideology. Again I don't trust the NDP party for ****, but I trust her a hell of a lot. Also, drop this alliance with Trudeau thing, that's a UCP talking point that is BS. She's been working for Albertans with whoever is willing to work with her including the federal government. Certainly a better option than launching into a red faced tirade like Kenney seems to think would be the answer. Hell was just reading about the UCP candidate in my riding and she sounds like a truly awful person. Her biggest point of emphasis was how she wanted to roll back the legislation providing more support for people in domestic violence situations. We are at a point where regressive governments are a bad idea. We need to continue to elect progressives. Haven't had a regressive government since Ralph Klein and we still need to keep going down that path. Massive oil royalties aren't coming back soon and the government needs to actually act like a government now.

Why hate on Kito? The guy is an athlete. He's a Winnipeger, and has a football training business as well.
