  2. Finished listening to the full 41 minutes of Trump's latest "perfect phone call" Unbelievable. (ok, believable) If not Raffensperger....wonder who taped the call and got it to the Washington Post. For now we will just call this person Deep State Throat., Just thinking, perhaps a special prosecutor is in order. I nominate Hillary Clinton....perhaps somebody would then finally get uh, "locked up"

  3. I know I'm probably in a miniscule minority, but Canadian players are a big part of why I watch CFL football and not NFL. It's our game, our people. I don't care to necessarily see the best possible players.... I am all about Canada, and as much of that as we can get.

    It pisses me off that this **** can go on and there is no accountability for these grotesque acts- I mean, they are talking about a ******* coup here. Yet, no one from the GOP is saying boo... Marthat McSally and here "Not very helpful call" comment is ****. So a criminal investigation goes on- it will be a federal one- pardoned and done. I say leave it all alone from a federal stance and do a state criminal investigation so he doesn't get away with the double jeopardy law.

  9. At some point you have to make the defence fear your arm if you want to have success running the ball as a QB. Hill has shown enough to be a viable threat. Streveler has not done that even in his time in the CFL. His success here in the short term was largely based on having Harris and Demski as viable options out of the backfield so teams could not just key on him on random plays. That credit goes to LaPolice despite many not wanting to give that due credit. When Streveler became the full time starter after Nichols’ injury, teams got wise by spying him and forcing him to beat them with his passing. For the most part, he was unsuccessful and that is why they rushed in Collaros to save the season. The question is will he become a Turner Gill who shows that he has no real talent as a QB and is a glorified runner who can throw a ball but does not have the mental skill set to pick apart a defence, or does he become a Henry Burris or Tracy Ham who learns the passing game and evolves out of the “gimmick running QB” mould to become a mobile passer?

  10. Having a preference doesn't make you smug. Enjoying a particular sport is subjective after all. I can't stand the clock format in the NFL. If there's time left in a game, finish the damn game.

  11. The NFL is boring not because of their rules not the players. It's just such a slow pace to the game. Not individual plays but the time it takes for any action to actually happen... booorrrring. Then you get the largely inconsequential special teams plays. Yeah the CFL has vastly superior rules and I will argue that to the death.

  12. You can't be a one read qb in the NFL or CFL. High school qbs can do better than that with their reads. Streveler is & always will be a "gimmick qb". Give him a set of plays suited to his talents & let him rip in certain game situations. But a full time NFL or CFL qb he will never be. That being said, love to have him back here so Buck can use him the same way LaPo did in 2019.

  21. For Strev, I think it would have made a big difference if the team knew right away he'd have to play significant minutes. The coaches can game plan around his strengths, and he could get 1st team reps. you see that everywhere, starter goes down, back up and team have to go in there and try to adjust. The Rams back up got that when they knew Goff would be out. Murray went down early in the game, huge difference. Not to mention that Rams D looking for some juicy stats when Murray went down.

    Many guys slated for the taxi squad will get waived across the league during camp when risk of claim is low. If they clear, they would not have to clear waivers again for the first 30 days of the season and could be used off the taxi squad.

  25. Pallister's buddy who helped run their last two campaigns and who is now one of the chief civil servants just spent two weeks in Ontario with family and did not have to quarantine upon return. **** Pallister and his government. The media should just keep asking him over and over why do you tell Manitobans one thing and allow for this until he gives a legit answer.

  27. I mean, travelling right now isn't technically illegal at all. Canadians are free to go anywhere that'll allow them entry. Legality isn't the issue; it's the optics. We've been told for months now to not travel unless essential and to do our part to slow the spread of this virus. These guidelines were put in place by elected officials and yet, many of them are flouting these rules for their own benefit or pleasure. What happened to leading by example? The double standards are utter shite. And it's this sort of shitty contradictory behaviour that leads to apathy among the voting public, as these actions are not exclusive to one party. And there should be dire repercussions for this garbage, not some lame-ass apology or feigned remorse on a social media post.

  29. Streve had a rough outing yesterday...no doubt about that....It looks like he is more suited to OUR game than the hyped up league to the south....Chris may be given another shot and if not successful he most likely will be looking at coming back to the CFL ...We shall see

  30. Agreed. More TV stoppages. The 45 second clock.. the game being over with 4 minutes left really. Ok 3 but most times it's over by then. It's just boring. CFL spoils us a wee bit in terms of action and truly finishes down to the end. Perhaps only rivaled by hockey.

  33. Having Canadian players play in the CFL is part of what makes the league just that - Canadian. Whilst it definitely increases the rift in talent between the CFL and NFL overall, removing the ratio I think would be detrimental overall to the game, it'd basically just turn the CFL into NCAA North Division... I have no problem with our league paying Canadian players to play a Canadian game. That said though, I will agree that just as there are smug NFL fans that dismiss the CFL, there are similarly smug CFL fans that dismiss the NFL as boring. I don't think either is right personally.

  34. If it's slow & predictable why did Chris Streveler struggle today? He should have been able to have been successful but he wasn't. You & other CFL fans who constantly say things like this have to ask yourself that question. Why didn't Streveler do better? You dismiss it like the NFL game is so uncomplicated & predictable that it's easy or something. It's not. It's a game that is complicated made even moreso with freakishly great athletes playing at every position. I love the CFL but we have mandated inferior Canadian players starting because of the ratio rule who shouldn't even be on the field & can be exploited. In the NFL the best players play. In the CFL Canadians will play while a better American player sits or is cut. A physical runner like Streveler can easily take on typically smaller CFL defensive linemen & Sam linebackers as they are essentially another 195 lb defensive back used for run support but are primarily slot covers. That & the wider CFL field gives more room to run which is why Strev had such success up here. The NFL is a more physical game with bigger running backs as well as huge O & D lines able to pound teams. The CFL is about speed & finesse.

  36. So Boomer takes the shot at Streveler and the CFL after the play. **** that guy, there is a reason they replaced him. Maybe he could talk about his losing record as a starter and his 3 seasons with a winning record as a QB.

  46. Mary Trump, Donald Trump's niece and a clinical psychologist spoke yesterday about her uncle's mindset: Dr. Mary Trump, who is Donald Trump's niece and also a clinical psychologist, has publicly predicted Donald Trump's increasingly dangerous, aberrant and delusional behavior. Her bestselling book "Too Much and Never Enough" chronicles how her uncle came to be the man he is today, and the dire, almost existential threat that he represents to the United States and the world. In this new conversation with Salon, Mary Trump warns that Donald Trump will only become more dangerous as Inauguration Day approaches and he faces the last days of his presidency. She also suggests that Donald Trump is experiencing a severe psychological crisis because of his deeply pathological fear of "losing," and discusses why he seems so indifferent to the death and suffering caused by the coronavirus pandemic, and how he has a deep contempt for his own followers. In conclusion, Mary Trump issues a warning: There is no limit to the havoc and destruction her uncle is willing to cause in these final weeks before he is forced from office.

    Buncha ****** assholes. My MLA (a good dude in a shitty party. Being in media, he and I are relatively close) who also happens to be Speaker Of The Leg, was caught up in the rumour mill initially, but confirmed that he hasn't left AB since August. I actually ran into him at the grocery store on Christmas Eve and he texted me at work on New Years Eve day, so I was pretty sure... But still. So many entitled assholes within that party. I dare any one of these idiots to scream about "Laurentian Elites" ever again....
