    I love how the alt-right try to paint Nazis as "leftists". What a efing world we live in now.

  3. Sorry everyone. Life (and more pressingly work) intervenes this week, start of a new fiscal year coupled with a hunch or projects kept me working overtime on many things, with precious little time to devote to the bios. Took about 3 times as long as usual to crank it out, but it is up now. Thanks for your patience and the good debate. I ultimately decided to leave Mike Sellers off the list (sorry) since it was taking so long, we had 13 others, and he did not even crack 900 career yards rushing with the club. But I will say he may be the 2nd or 3rd most effective pass catcher out of the backfield (behind Harris and Lewis) the club has ever employed. If we had a fullback position, he would be a leading candidate (so would Harris if we modified his game) and who can forget him dragging the entire ‘Rider D that one drive in a pre-Banjp Bowl game without his helmet on. Just a tank, never used to his full potential because he shared the backfield with Roberts.

  5. I had a similar list. I went 70 for Saskatchewan (the whole province and everything in it). Then split the rest between the flames and leafs (mostly for the fans but f**k the teams too!).

  9. Blues win therefore these are tonight scenarios: If Nash loses... Jets win - Jets take Div title play DAL or COL Jets lose in overtime - 2nd place and play NASH If Nash loses in overtime... Jets win - Jets take Div title play DAL or COL Jets lose in any way - 3rd place and play NASH If Nash wins... Jets win - take 2nd place with home ice advantage and play STL Jets lose in any way - 3rd place and play STL

  10. I believe 05 was the year we basically had no DC, so the players were going out there and trying to make it up as they best they could...

    This is probably pointless, but I'll try anyway: To put it simply, if you go all the way to the far left, you get complete government control. When you go to all the way to the far right, you get complete corporate control, enabled by government. Surely you're aware of corporations that benefited from and aided the Nazi regime? https://allthatsinteresting.com/major-brands-nazi-collaborators This is not ignorance - it's the way the political spectrum works. No matter who you are, what you believe and which politics you lean towards - extremism and fundamentalism are dangerous beasts.

    Back at'cha brother. Don't worry too much about the Leafs... even if we somehow manage to get by Boston this time (I doubt it), Tampa is just too good.

    Your *HATE* goes in here

    First: Great thread idea....Bluto, you're a rock star and I appreciate you......... Second: I have been thinking and wracking my brain over this for the last hour, and am just having a really tough time. I want to go 100 - Riders Fans. They're a scourge of the earth....I don't use the word "hate" very often, but i think I truly HATE Riders fans that are so completely ******* ignorant and don't know anything about CFL or even that much about their own team (almost all of them) But then I want to throw Stamps and Flames fans in there, too, because they're basically the same thing......just complete ******* morons and bandwagon jumpers. And I hate people like that SO ******* MUCH......... Of late, (mostly thanks to social media), the Leafs fans are getting really really bad.......BUT..............Jets fans, thanks to the NHL jerking them all off last year about being "Canada's Team" in the NHL, are kind of getting to that Riders fan level.....which sucks for me as a very passionate Jets fan. So, in conclusion.........I really don't know how to divvy up that pie.....

    . Leafs. When they are eliminated, usually first round, announcers then start talking about GTA born players on remaining teams and how they grew up watching Dougie, Wendell, something, something maybe somebody Leafs would be interested in free agency. Celtic. Glasgow not Boston. Could go on for hours but I would end up banned. Riders. A smattering of success turns some people into smug arseholes, I guess Cubs. Fans would be Rider fans if the neighbourhood around Mosaic became hipster-dooferized and jacked up prices but still tried to claim authenticity to old-time sports... brick wall, ivy, something, something. Manchester United. The Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Honda Civic of English football. Italy, Portugal at Euro, WC time,

    Mine is easy: 50. The NFL - totally done with that league 40. MLB - just completely stupid (all teams are equal, but some are more equal than others) 10. Any hockey that isn't playoff hockey (I have a faint interest in Jets' regular season) 0. NBA - have never cared about it at all

  20. Interesting thread Bluto, quite cathartic. 🙂 For me, it's quite easy and nowhere near as well thought out and detailed as yours. 30 Toronto Maple Leafs - You could be watching a game where the Ducks are playing the Panthers and the Leafs will come up in the conversation. The coverage on them and the fawning over them is vomit high. If they went 0 and 82 my life would be complete. 30 Edmonton Oilers/Eskimos - Grew up solidifying myself as a hardcore Jets and Bomber fan through the Oilers/Eskimos dynasties. Now that I live just outside Edmonton and work in the city, my level of pleasure is extremely high with their levels of mediocrity. Its looks good on them. I'm not well liked around these parts showing off my colors evereywhere I go. 30 Roughriders - self explanatory being on a Bomber site. 10 Colorado Avalanche - recently given as I just watched their telecast and it was way over the top homer style. I hope we meet them in the playoffs and pound the crap out of them so I can listen to their groupie commentators commiserate among each other.

    Citing the most extreme examples - very well done. Hint: The system that ruled Nazi Germany provided few if any opportunities to get out of poverty. Well - unless you include to killing (or planning to kill) the people of eastern Europe so Germans could take over their farms. For reference: lebensraum When you go the extremes - the right and the left are essentially the same.

    Just boot strap ourselves up eh, as if that works. In our system is is rare to be able to bootstrap ourselves up. Easiest way is to be born into priviledge. Rest ofnusbjust have to be content getting by while the rich horde all the wealth and corporations use their influence to **** us all over. I got no problems saying free market should rule, but we're not in a totally free market, the government already messes with the markets. Corporate welfare is a big thing in our country l, why not welfare for everyone?

  28. With Jabar Westerman being released by Montreal I wonder if Winnipeg will go after him? He could really help the team solidify a Canadian position on the defensive line. Between him, Thomas and a draft pick they could get that done.

  31. I think they might. Depends on lots of variables we are not privy 2 like year end meetings especially if its a week from now. I think they need to win rd 1 for him to be kept. Also who is realistically available. Quennville? Similar to Maurice actually. Vincent from the Moose? He deserves a shot.. Hes been doing good with a make shift moose roster. Somebody else? Ralph Krueger? Who is the guy who replaces Maurice. Ducky? We need a Jon Cooper. Innovative.

  33. There were red flags early in the season and we kind of hoped they’d go away... defensive system is much looser than last year Team was winning games in November because of the power play - and everyone had high shooting percentages hopefully this is the greatest rope a dope ever

  34. Still. There’s probably a number of players in this league who could come in and compete. With this I would expect the level of cfl rookies this year to surpass what was seen in last years camp.

    Tough finish to the schedule for the Moose. Three games, back to back to back, with the final game in the afternoon.
