Why jump into the ring, when your opponent is busy punching himself in the face?

Ooh! Also, whoever wasn't supposed to be on the field during the 2nd last play of the 2009 Grey Cup. That guy was stellar.

Darian Durant Ok I'll see myself out...

Carl Reiner passed at 98. A full life....a life well lived. One of the funniest people of all time.

The Pentagon leaks an explosive story of Trump’s dereliction of duty — widening the rift between the military and the White House The news late yesterday was chilling: Russians have been paying Taliban militants to kill Americans in Afghanistan even as peace talks with the Taliban were under way, intelligence sources told The New York Times. And Donald Trump has known about this intelligence since the beginning of March and has done nothing about it. (The US military has begun to turn on Trump in response to his ignoring their advice and his attacks on and interference with military personnel.) https://www.alternet.org/2020/06/the-pentagon-leaks-an-explosive-story-of-trumps-dereliction-of-duty-widening-the-rift-between-the-military-and-the-white-house/

S.J. Green: watching him with Calvillo was astonishing, they were playing tecmo bowl out there while everyone else was trying to play Madden on nightmare mode Ken Hobart: man was he fun to watch. Take Buck Pierce, make him worse at passing and better at open-field running. That's Ken Hobart. He changed the game. Ticats started 0-4 without him and were Grey Cup finalists with him. Quick Parker: this guy was pure beast. His battles against Walby are the stuff of Valhalla Vernon Adams, I'll always root for a young QB coming in and making a mark on the league, hopefully he leaves a mark on the league Mike O'Shea: I wore 59 because of this guy and I didn't even root for his damn team, just watched him make 20 tackles in a loss back when the Ticats were really stanky and the next day I picked my number. I guess he's a bomber now but he never played for them so I think he belongs on this list. Ray Bernard: another one of those Canadians who couldn't hack it as a starting middle linebacker, but this guy was a ******* cannonball on special teams for the Rough Riders in 1996. That thing where a cover guy blows up both a blocker and the returner with the same tackle? Nowadays we'd call that a Thiadric but maybe it should be a Bernard because I saw that dude do it multiple times during the Roughie's depressing death season.

Well at least he didn't bring the chicken

that corner route with Jason Tucker ... everyone knew it was coming, no one could stop it. The 2005 Grey Cup, him vs. Cavillo, is the greatest football game I've ever seen live.

nothing against Stodds but here is a closeup of the best hands in Bomber history

pffffffffffffffft.....................

Best thing for Biden atm would be to sit back make a few socially distant policy statements and watch Trump implode

I love how Trump and Trump jr are losing their minds on Biden not engaging them and not holding press conferences. Keep it up, less is better than more right now. When he announces his VP nominee, release her on these creeps.

Definitely. And cap management is going to be even more important in the post COVID CFL. I think the days of signing almost million dollar QB's are over. As are the days of signing close to $300K receivers. Say hello to developmental low priced QB's, and bringing in lots of US receivers to compete with higher priced veterans.

SJ Green by far for me. I would go as far and even say he has the best hands in all of cfl history.

So your point is that it ok to break the promise you made to get elected so long as it is popular? Sounds like a typical Conservative ploy. My views of the Conservatives in Canada are based in the realities of Brian Mulroney, Gary Filmon, Peter McKay, Grant Devine, Steven Harper, John Diefenbaker and Andrew Scheer, to name a few. Then there is all the internal back-stabbing, the tolerance of racism and the willingness to abandon principles for power. The only two principled federal Conservative leaders in memory were Joe Clark and Robert Stanfield, and both were done in by their own parties. When was the last meaningful initiative done by federal Conservative prime ministers? Not all Conservatives are self-serving idealogues- I am not a big fan of Pallister but he has handled the current Coronavirus crisis very well, as has Ford in Ontario.

States opening up way too fast....with the approval and encouragement of the Federal Government, as a purely political calculation, to aid Trump's re-election chances. Simply immoral and Inexcusable.

It's getting worse and worse day by day for Trumpidiot and his gang of imbeciles, another term for Trump and Americans will see Putin sitting behind the resolute desk

Well he's still got Fox:

Bombers new signees per CFl.ca

Here are 7 bombshell details from CNN’s new exposé on Trump’s disturbing calls with foreign leaders A new blockbuster CNN report from famed Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein published Monday documented his extensive findings about President Donald Trump’s disturbing conversations with foreign leaders. Though the nature of Trump’s interactions with many foreign leaders has been explored before — his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky led to his impeachment — Bernstein’s reporting expands the scope of past reporting and fills in new details. It also reveals that an apparently wide circle of Trump’s aides has been and remains deeply troubled by Trump’s conduct in international relations. These worries, presumably, are what prompted officials to speak anonymously to Bernstein about what they’ve seen and heard. Here are seven details from the report: 1. “[The] calls helped convince some senior US officials — including his former secretaries of state and defense, two national security advisers and his longest-serving chief of staff — that the President himself posed a danger to the national security of the United States.” This is the main takeaway from the piece. Of course, many outside critics of the administration have argued — even long before Trump was elected — that the president’s character poses a unique danger in the Oval Office. Bernstein also found that many former top officials concluded Trump was “delusional” based on the way he talks to foreign leaders. On the other hand, much of Trump’s public behavior also indicates that he’s deeply delusional. 2. Trump was consistently deferential to Putin Unsurprisingly, the report found that Trump shows extreme deference to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Again, this is another detail that confirms Trump acts privately as he does in public. This is, nevertheless, an important and revealing finding, since it shows that Trump’s public persona is not a mere act and that there’s no clever scheme going on behind the scenes. It’s also particularly relevant now, as questioned have emerged about Trump’s knowledge of and response to reports of a Russian government plot to place bounties on the heads of American soldiers. The report explained: In numerous calls with Putin that were described to CNN, Trump left top national security aides and his chiefs of staff flabbergasted, less because of specific concessions he made than because of his manner — inordinately solicitous of Putin’s admiration and seemingly seeking his approval — while usually ignoring substantive policy expertise and important matters on the standing bilateral agenda, including human rights; and an arms control agreement, which never got dealt with in a way that advanced shared Russian and American goals that both Putin and Trump professed to favor, CNN’s sources said. 3. Trump spoke most with Erdogan While Trump’s relationship with Putin has drawn most attention during his presidency, Bernstein refocuses some of that scrutiny toward the president’s relations with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He found that Trump is apparently absurdly accommodative of Erdogan, sometimes taking his calls “at least twice a week”: According to one high-level source, there are also existing summaries and conversation-readouts of the President’s discussions with Erdogan that might reinforce Bolton’s allegations against Trump in the so-called “Halkbank case,” involving a major Turkish bank with suspected ties to Erdogan and his family. That source said the matter was raised in more than one telephone conversation between Erdogan and Trump. 4. “[If] members of Congress heard from witnesses to the actual conversations or read the texts and contemporaneous notes, even many senior Republican members would no longer be able to retain confidence in the President.” This passage drew swift criticism of Twitter, with many observers pointing out that there seems to be nothing that could dissuade Republican lawmakers from supporting Trump. Maybe so. But the fact that such a claim would be made speaks to the seriousness of the behavior in question. The report also found: Elements of that testimony by [Fiona] Hill, if re-examined by Congressional investigators, might provide a detailed road-map of the President’s extensively-documented conversations, the sources said. White House and intelligence officials familiar with the voice-generated transcriptions and underlying documents agreed that their contents could be devastating to the President’s standing with members of the Congress of both parties — and the public — if revealed in great detail. (There is little doubt that Trump would invoke executive privilege to keep the conversations private. However, some former officials with detailed knowledge of many of the conversations might be willing to testify about them, sources said.) 5. Trump “regularly bullied and demeaned the leaders of America’s principal allies, especially two women: telling Prime Minister Theresa May of the United Kingdom she was weak and lacked courage; and telling German Chancellor Angela Merkel that she was “stupid.” Trump is well-known to be a misogynist, and he seems to boil with antipathy for American allies. The report explained: But his most vicious attacks, said the sources, were aimed at women heads of state. In conversations with both May and Merkel, the President demeaned and denigrated them in diatribes described as “near-sadistic” by one of the sources and confirmed by others. “Some of the things he said to Angela Merkel are just unbelievable: he called her ‘stupid,’ and accused her of being in the pocket of the Russians … He’s toughest [in the phone calls] with those he looks at as weaklings and weakest with the ones he ought to be tough with.” 6. Trump’s lack of knowledge puts him at a disadvantage. The report said that those around Trump believed he was unable to learn or grow in his interactions with foreign leaders. And his wide-ranging ignorance could be used against him: Two sources described the President as woefully uninformed about the history of the Syrian conflict and the Middle East generally, and said he was often caught off guard, and lacked sufficient knowledge to engage on equal terms in nuanced policy discussion with Erdogan. “Erdogan took him to the cleaners,” said one of the sources. 7. Trump acted in his own self-interest, rather than the national interest This was the central charge in the impeachment case against Trump: he’s unable or unwilling to differentiate between the national interest and his own personal interest. This has always been a clear defect in Trump’s character; it’s patently obvious in the way he speaks publicly. Behind the scenes, it seems, he’s no different. The CNN piece concluded: “There was no sense of ‘Team America’ in the conversations,” or of the United States as an historic force with certain democratic principles and leadership of the free world, said the official. “The opposite. It was like the United States had disappeared. It was always ‘Just me’.”

Muamba would have been on a Grey Cup winner if he wasn't so greedy. I'm glad we have Bighill instead anyway. he's embraced the city. Got a job as a financial advisor & is building a new home. Good for home & thanks BC...

Just going to put this back right here since it apparently bears repeating.

As Bomber fans we should be very aware of how hard it is to be successful with a **** teir offensive line.... Yeah they had some nice receiver and Reilly, but when the qb is getting his ass kicked night in and night out you won't win very often.

Jarious Jackson could have been the main problem - Jennings really tanked when JJ took over as OC... Reilly looked very mortal

I'll kill you while you sleep........

I would bet that every CFL quarterback or superstar would play for $250,000 plus playoff bonuses. Time for financial sanity in the league.

I will disagree... I found a lot of Durant's success was him hucking the ball in the air and his receivers making big plays for him. When the receivers wouldn't make the plays he struggled.

You have nothing but invective to use in your criticism of Trudeau. The "scandal" that Butts was involved in consisted of a female cabinet minister who threw a hissy-fit over being moved to another portfolio and claimed that it was discrimination. Gerald Butts, I understand is a well-respected civil revant who has had a respected career. Compare that to Brian Mulroney, Devine and so forth.

In 11 states with mask rules in place - including New York and Illinois - the number of new cases has declined 25% in the last two weeks, according to an analysis by the Philadelphia Inquirer. On the other hand, in states where only some employees have to wear masks, new cases have risen by an average of 70 Coronavirus: What's behind new US outbreaks? An informed, well explained piece https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53228134?xtor=AL-72-[partner]-[bbc.news.twitter]-[headline]-[news]-[bizdev]-[isapi]&at_campaign=64&at_custom3=%40BBCWorld&at_custom4=2C19845A-BB16-11EA-97C6-67EF4744363C&at_medium=custom7&at_custom1=[post+type]&at_custom2=twitter

Hey Kayleigh! Did the informed president forget about last year?

According to figures posted by CNN, there are 2,620,250 active cases and 127,272 deaths reported. That is a mortality rate of 4.8%- much higher than seasonal influenza deaths and this should put an end to the "it's just another harmless flu" rebuttal to how serious this really is. But it won't.The reality is that the mortality rate is probably higher.

Yeah, that'll fix everything. That's the ticket.

If you’re bringing hair into it, Trudeau will win again..

Doug Flutie - Best CFL QB Warren Moon - Second best Mike Pringle - Everyone in the stadium knew he was getting the ball, still couldn't stop him Jim Young - Dirty 30, shoulda been an NFL receiver Nik Lewis - Quick Nik or Thick Nik, he can play on my team any time. Larry Highbaugh - Dude could turn a game around by himself Gizmo Williams - Also turned games around by himself. James Quick Parker - Almost impossible to stop

Have to agree with Swervin Mervyn. I met him at the IGF Packers Raiders tilt last year. He is a very large guy and massive mitts. Said to him “nice to meet you Sir. But I have to say I hated your guts. You’d pick us apart and were unstoppable. It’s my pleasure to meet you”. Well he bust out laughing and responded, “you know how many people today have said they hated me (Lol)”. I really did hate this guy back then. “Granny” Liggins - quick off the line and teammates of the great Wayne Harris and John Helton. Granville had eye problems and had to wear shades while on the bench. Tom “Wilkie” Wilkinson. Too slow, too short, too swollen, couldn’t throw, though he won. Matt Dunigan, when ever he wasn’t a Bomber. Angelo “King Kong” Mosca. Because he was a wrassler too.

I would check his luggage when they drag him outta there

I'm a gonna go with Ricky Ray, guy was like a Timex, took a lickin and kept on tickin. Also a class act off the field.

Sure, no doubt the protests caused, and will continue to cause cases. But the protests were far more of a spontaneous thing.... Also think that this anti-racist "mob" also consisted of people who generally felt disenfranchised for a variety of reasons - low standard of living conditions, facing eviction or uncertain housing conditions, dismal employment prospects, about to lose health insurance, lost loved ones and friends, "stacked deck" in regards to justice, etc...echos of the existing inequalities in America. You could throw in some anti-Trump sentiment as well. As always... there is also an apolitical criminal sector, who simply sees any civil unrest, riots etc, as just a good opportunity to burn, loot and cause all sorts of mayhem. George Floyd's death and the other recent Police crimes....was a trigger....pulled on a already loaded gun.

I don't begrudge a player the chance to make as much as he can because all it takes to end a career is one injury. But when a player plays all 9 teams at the same time well screw him.

Inappropriate, illegal, immoral behaviour consistently for the last 4 years. When are we going to see actual consequences other than twitter shaming? Without meaningful consequences and Trump and his gang being really punished where it hurts, this all feels empty and frustrating. Are the Democrats that weak and the system so flawed that miscreants can run roughshod over everything? Reading over and over again that history will not be kind to Trump, his administration, the GOP and his hardened supporters means nothing right now.

From earlier Kayleigh McEnany thinks Americans will blame Democrats for Republican efforts to repeal the ACA (Affordable Care ACT) - Aaron RuparYou lost me at "Kayleigh McEnany thinks." - Sebastian

I always thought they should call Nik Lewis, The Baconator, since Wendy's used to sponsor Friday Night football and Nik looked like he had eaten a lot of them.

He was great! Thanks. Forgot about him. And what a story. The first African-American to start at the quarterback position in an SEC school. The first black baseball player in University of Tennessee history. Also drafted by the Expos!

I wish that he would of continued his previous show where he dressed up as a bunch of different funny characters and made fun of the Americans. He could of had so much more fun with everything going on in the last year.

**** you and "Cancel Culture".... He went on a homophobic rant! There is no place for intolerance anywhere. **** anyone who says shitty things about any kind of minority group.

I think we are better than the US regarding racism, but "better" is not necessarily "good".
