    The troll won't post credible evidence because there is none, obviously. Of course will talk about brown rape gangs without evidence. Racist troll should just be blocked. RE: Steele Dossier - A great description of what the Steele dossier is.

    Yeah, you're going to need to post credible evidence to back up any of this. That's not accurate: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/cnn/ Still beats Faux News by a substantial margine, though. (https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fox-news/) Again, you're going to need to substantiate all these claims with impartial, objective, fact-checked evidence. I'm curious who you know inside the media industry. I'll bet it's nobody at all. I know it's your MO here to just poo-poo on those "evil progressives who want to ruin western civilization" but you've done nothing in this thread except spew diarrhea with no factual basis whatsoever. Mental gymnastics trolling and nothing more.

  9. Did you know...... Tennessee Titans are halfway to becoming only the 3rd #6 seed to win the Super Bowl, and only the 2nd to beat the #1,2,3 seeds in their own conference and #1 seed in the other conference. The other team? Pittsburgh Steelers (2005). Pittsburgh in 2005 beat Cincinnati (#3), Indianapolis (#1), Denver (#2) and Seattle (#1), beating teams with 51 combined wins. Tennessee beat New England (#3) and Baltimore (#1) and face Kansas City (#2) and either San Francisco (#1) or Green Bay (#2) if they get past KC. If they run the table they will have beaten teams with 51 combined wins regardless of whether they play SF or GB. Tennessee (9-7) is the only team who could beat higher seeded rivals who all had better records than them (their opponents were/are all 12-4 or better - Pittsburgh and Cincinnati each were 11-5 in 2005). Only other team to beat teams with 51 combined wins are the New York Giants in 2007 as the #5 seed, beating Tampa Bay (#4), Dallas (#1), Green Bay (#2) and the undefeated New England Patriots (#1). The Giants at 10-6 had a better record than 9-7 Tampa despite being a lower seed (Tampa won their division). The only other #6 seed to win is Green Bay in 2010, beating Philly(#3), Atlanta (#1), Chicago (#2), and Pittsburgh (#2), teams with 46 total wins. Philly and Green Bay both were 10-6. What does this have to do with the CFL? Well, the Bombers this past year became only the 6th #3 seed to win the Grey Cup since the current playoff format was adopted in 1974, and became only the 3rd team to beat the #1, 2, and 3 seeds in the league on the way to the title. Sask. in 1989 and BC in 2000 were the other 2. BC's opponents won 34 games combined, and Saskatchewan's won 38. The other 2 CFL teams who beat opponents with a combined 40 wins (the league record) were Edmonton in 1993 and BC in 1994, and both of them had the benefit of a home game (BC's home game is an asterisk because it was the "neutral site" Grey Cup which was in BC that year). All this to say it is arguable that the Bombers Grey Cup run this year may have been the toughest and most impressive ever in the current format. Will the Titans match this improbable feat?

  15. With 30 seconds left Fajardo gets sacked and fumbles and Wpg recovers but it's overturned by the Command Centre. What a horrible call. No way, in my opinion, is that an "incomplete pass". A real "homer" call there that could have had disastrous results for our football team. Had we gone on to lose that game I would have been livid about that call. Just BS.

  17. Disagree. TNG was a great show and I loved the one hour episodes where I didn't have to watch the whole ******* series just to see what happens. If you want to watch an episode of Discovery, you can't just pick one random episode to watch. You have to watch the whole series. It's stupid. But my point above was, it should be a mix of TNG and Discovery. Kind of like DS9, where there was a larger story arch behind all these mini ones.

  22. Okay, this comment really rubs me the wrong way. How is supporting Canadian qbs getting a chance to play in the CFL all of a sudden about me wanting my son to have more playing time? It's not my kid we're talking about here. He hasn't played since 2015. You don't know me at all or anything about me as a parent. You don't know what my relationship was with his coaches at the junior, JUCO or university level when he played. The way I interpret your words, I must have been obviously a whiney & controlling parent that tried to force coaches to get my son more playing time. Sorry to disappoint. But I wasn't like that. My son had to fight for his playing time with the Rifles, then his JUCO team & at SFU. I never once called his coaches demanding he play more when he didn't. With the Rifles, as an 18 year-old rookie he started the first two games of his PFC career. Opening game of the season against the Hilltoppers in Saskatoon he threw 3 td passes in his very first game at Gordie Howe Bowl but also two pick 6's & lost. The following week in a monsoon at Canad Inns Stadium, his second start was a miserable one as he threw 4 pick 6's vs the Edmonton Wildcats. The Rifles lost something like 66-21. After the game he was demoted to #3 qb & never played again that season. The HC ripped him a new one in the Winnipeg Free Press after the game saying he'd never start for him again. My son wasn't aware of the HC comments until he read them in the paper the next day as the HC never spoke with him. Matter of fact, Coach never spoke to him the rest of the season. Wouldn't even say hello. Just put his head down & always walked by him. At the end of September he called me & asked if he could quit the team as he was homesick. I told him to stick it out. That he never quit anything in his life & he wasn't about to start now. That quitting when the going got tough would mean it would be easier to quit again the second, third & fourth time around when the going got tough in life. Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to tell him that he couldn't quit when he was upset, crying & begging to come home??? Plus having his mother angry with me as well when I said no?? He said okay he'd stay but slammed the receiver in my ear & didn't speak or text me for another month. I never called his Head Coach. I never made waves. I wanted him handle the situation like an adult. He ended up staying that season, going back the next & splitting the starting qb position with a teammate who also had a very good year. He actually was having a decent second season splitting the qb duties until he broke his collarbone in Regina. Making him stay, face adversity & whatever happened all by himself, far away from home for the first time in his life helped him grow up & develop a much tougher skin. The HC never spoke to him again that season. Turned out he didn't speak to half the team, alienated most of the players & was fired when the season ended. The moral of the story is I never interfered as a parent with any coaches. I never whined to his HC or complained to the Rifles President about being demoted or being ignored when I easily could have. When he got to California & then SFU it was the same deal. Any problems he told me about, I stayed out of & let him handle things on his own. Besides, had I ever called his coaches he'd have been upset & told me to mind my own business. So, WBBFanWest, this has nothing to do about me as a parent thinking I knew more than his coaches wanting him to play so you're way off base. Oh & you should know based on my son's performance at the CFL Regional Combine in Edmonton in March 2016, he got a tryout with the Lions & threw for both Wally & Khari Jones in early May. He had suffered a severely torn hamstring two months before while training for the Combine & couldn't run in Edmonton & struggled to do so at the Lions practice facility in Surrey. He was timed by the Lions in the 40 at 5.2 seconds when he normally ran a 4.7. He told me that when he did his forty he felt like his hammy was going to explode so he was scared to run any faster. His 40 time was a huge disappointment. He never told the Lions he was injured. That probably led to his not going further with them or any other chances with any CFL team. So, his playing days were over. Things didn't end the way he wanted them to playing wise but now he coaches & he's happy doing that. He's married, living in Seattle & just got his Green Card. Life goes on. I'm just advocating for Canadian qbs. This has nothing to do with my son so please leave him out of the discussion from this point on.

    Starr was in charge during the Baylor sex scandal and looked the other way. The guy should be hiding away but, of course, he's Republican and Republicans are allowed to rape women or underage children. That's allowed in the GOP.

    No doubt. Even with Russia collusion and interference Hilary would have whooped Trump. Comey did what he did because of Rudy’s pals in the FBI NY field office. When trump and co. Whine about FBI agents being bad it’s because they had their own bad agents. They always accuse opponents of that which they do.

    E courses have very limited effectiveness. They work fine for the strong and motivated students but weak and passive kids do not stand a chance in that learning environment. In Manitoba we call them Web CT courses and they are used on a limited basis in remote areas - the pass rate is around 20%.

  35. Well- I have no horse in the race and I see this as bad. Simple question- my children, do I want them in a class room setting to learn or from an E-course... Sure the pension aspect and so on spooking teachers is probably a real thing- but it's still a bad move from an education aspect... Considering he was in high school for 5 years, went to community college for two months and dropped out... its no wonder he doesn't value education. To be honest, I don't blame him- "Look Ma! i dropped out of communty college and I'm the premier of Ontario!" FFS...

    Dave Dickenson announced today the Stamps coaching staff. It's a Back To The Future type of staff. Returning to the Stamps after having retired from coaching is George Cortez as Running Backs Coach & former Stamps slot Marquay McDaniel as Receivers Coach. Dickenson promoted Mark Mueller from running backs to QB Coach replacing Ryan Dinwiddie. Mueller is the grandson of the late CFL great Ron Lancaster. Kind of a head scratcher to give an inexperienced coach the qb position while Cortez with all his experience as a qb coach & OC the running backs. Taylor Atillio, a Calgary native comes over from the BC Lions where he was STC last season under Devonne Claybrooks as ST Assistant which to me sounds like a demotion but he still gets to coach in the CFL.

    No that is wrong. He hand waves away major offenses and tries to create false equivalencies. There is now right or left, only objectivity. The left does stuff bad I call them out too, but nothing the left does is anywhere close to as bad as what the Republicans are doing, and any attempt to hand wave it away with a dishonest both sides argument is tantamount to endorsing it and saying it is fine. Just so long as those pesky minorities are kept in their place.

  46. And in the CFL having 2 qbs on the field simultaneously playing for one team is illegal which makes no sense to me when Streveler could have lined up as a slot or running back & be fed the ball. The Grand Poobahs in this league who make the rules need their heads examined for not allowing talent to come to the fore.
