"I misremembered." What's laughable is presenting no data while crying "defund CBC" and expected to be taken seriously. Public polls conducted online don't count, BTW. So much for using critical thinking. Explains why this country has so many ignorant, uninformed whiners.

Not bad but I'd go: Winnipeg Thanks for coming out They suck F**k them Eat s**t Who cares Bums Garbage Trash

happy 60th Ducky.... you are missed

Huh, that’s funny. I guess I found a deep fake video then, showing the pretend CBC election coverage from 2011. At the 29 minute mark the doctored video shows polls closing, at the 59 minute mark the Cons are declared the winners, and at 1:50 the majority is declared by the CGI Mansbridge, with more than 2 hours of coverage still to come. They even managed to digitally remove Fake Peter’s tears. I guess it is true that you can’t trust anything you find online. Or maybe, just maybe, and hear me out on this, the problem isn’t media bias so much as it is your own, misrepresenting and “misremembering” things to feed your own slanted narrative with false confirmation bias, all so you can slam the side you don’t like and justify ignoring facts by claiming bias and giving you an excuse to make up your own “true” facts

Check out this hit by Beckett...around the 38 sec mark. Could be a gooder this one. 😊

Seems like there are a fee really interesting prospects they've signed this off season. Is it training camp time yet?

You mean sports a brush cut or afro?

he has that powerful low center of gravity...flows really good to the ball and closes quick....look forward to seeing what he has...and if anything...could be a ST demon for this yr, and a true MLB backup on the roster

I find constantly espousing 'I'm a moderate, everyone's bad' annoying as hell.

Even just on ST this year, he could be a lot of fun to watch.....

Not the first, won't be the last. I look forward to watching him get humbled.

She said she was going to do it before her appointment. She said she did it. Then, lied and said she didn't. Then a recording of her doing it was released. Why do Albertans not care that their premier is interfering in court cases? This is by far the most shocking and disturbing thing in politics right now. Why is a premier allowed to interfere? It's criminal. She should resign.

The prospects they have signed so far give me hope that we will be able to di a nice rotational de and a linebacker with upside. Now if we can add a national or two in the draft that can takes some reps, look out.

I kid, I kid... The CBC is Left of center, it's not wing nut left fringe news, the way you make it sound. More importantly, they are HIGHLY factual and HIGHLY credible. To say they are the worst is not accurate at all- there is so much worse out there in terms of bias, factual reporting and credibility.

The league may have lost Sir Vincent Rogers to retirement but now we have Ye'Majesty!

Lol I can't take credit for that. That was Suitor coloring on the TSN screen. In his defense, he's so used to talking to Riders fans that he just naturally dumbs things down.

The CFL is a stepping stone for every American and likely most high level Canadians. I don't get the butt hurt? CFL is a stepping for many americans, a stepping stone that quickly turns into a mountain.

BC high school plays US rules too.

Traitors then Back in U Sports in 3...2...1

SFU has been a joke since they pinballed between NAIA (where they were successful) to CIS (where they were competitive) to NCAA D2 (where they were absolutely outclassed in a much more expensive level to operate in). I expect SFU to come back and play U Sports, what CIS is called now. SFU and UBC have always had this odd fascination with being low level NCAA teams rather than competing with other Canadian universities.

The best was when Pacman Jones nearly signed with the Bombers. During his rambling online video he said he'd get 2 touchdowns a game.

Always remember I think it might have been Kwame cavil in an interview during camp talking about how he'd probably get 2000 yards a season. ****** Americans thinking the league is crap.

What do you guys think of a CFL rookie calling the league a stepping stone? Maybe wait until you make the team first.

Why would it be? They were the only Canadian school playing US college ball and no longer had a conference to play in. I'd say what happened was unique to them, and not some sign of things to come.

Well this is what happens when you try a child as an adult.

The problem CBC has isn't bias, the corporately owned news outlets are far more biased, just towards the right so it might appear that the CBC is biased left. No then problems cbc has is they bought into the idea that news is entertainment and now if it bleeds it leads as they say.

And here I thought that the Harpers had left.

Yet, that ****-strain will prohibit any form of firearms, weapons or plastic butter knives at any event he appears at. Gun control to protect me, not to protect thee.

All I hear is grift, grift, grift, grift, grift.

He'll be in Winnipeg on April 22 if you want to see him (his Calgary show on the 27 may be better for you, Noeller). He's from Hamilton though, so put your wallet in your front pocket and guard your beverage.

Trouble for her is keeping her mouth shut has been her weakness from the get go.

Inb4 first round of cuts. Bc no2 with vaj? Yeah I don’t see that happening. awful thing about sfu. Hopefully they start back up in the near future.

Yes.

Would you prefer canned cliches?

https://www.cfl.ca/2023/04/04/start-your-arguing-engines-the-way-too-early-power-rankings-are-in/?fbclid=IwAR1AOMDQFi6CcBI-WGf2ryalOygh5pTqFq-E_fW4BEHXyedHpVGjHBNwuJQ In years past, this space — the aptly named Way Too Early Power Rankings — has tried to cater to and pay due respect to the recently named Grey Cup champions. It should take something extraordinary to knock a champion from its well-earned perch, especially in an April Power Rankings setup, where camps haven’t even opened yet and games are even further away from being played. In the previous three editions of these rankings, we’ve seen the defending champs ranked no lower than second. Here in 2023, we have the extraordinary. The Toronto Argonauts’ run to the Grey Cup was the conclusion to the 2022 season that very few predicted (shoutout to CFL.ca’s Kristina Costabile and Jim Morris, who went with their instincts during a cold, snowy week in Regina over four months ago now). The Argos’ season was one of self-discovery, as they went from a talented but seemingly volatile group early on to a defensively-rooted team that learned how to win together. That culminated with a three-phase effort, highlighted by a late Henoc Muamba interception, an A.J. Ouellette touchdown and Robbie Smith‘s blocked field goal that lifted them over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, spoiling their bid to become a three-peat champion. McLeod Bethel-Thompson‘s departure from the team knocked an otherwise productive off-season out of whack. Yes, many of the key players from the soon-to-be-iced-out team signed on to try to run it back this year, but the starting quarterback isn’t one of them. Chad Kelly‘s place in that GC109 win can’t be overlooked either, as he finished out the game at QB after Bethel-Thompson dislocated his thumb. But when we look at the 18-game season ahead of Kelly, it’s hard to confidently say that the Boatmen will be able to pick up the oars and continue rowing along as the same team we saw close out the 2022 season. We just don’t know enough yet about the new No. 1. For Argos fans and those of the other seven clubs in the league that aren’t at No. 1 on this list, take solace in knowing that in compiling these rankings, we’re often wrong and sometimes even way off on a placement. Last year at this time, we had the BC Lions, then shrouded in questions at quarterback, at the No. 8 spot. We happily eat crow on that pick and will do the same if we’re wrong about the Argos this time around. 1. Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2022 record: 15-3, lost Grey Cup First Up: Vs. Hamilton, June 9 Off-season notable: Kenny Lawler returns to Winnipeg and joins a receiving corps that features Dalton Schoen, Nic Demski, Rasheed Bailey and Drew Wolitarsky, just to name a few. The Bombers made very few moves in free agency (two in, three out). Expect them to be the same dominant team this year. 2. BC Lions 2022 record: 12-6, lost Western Final First Up: At Calgary, June 8 Off-season notable: The Lions lost Nathan Rourke to the NFL and replaced him with Vernon Adams Jr. and Dane Evans, while keeping much of their 2022 roster intact. It’s not the same team as 2022, but the 2023 group should be a good one. 3. Calgary Stampeders 2022 record: 12-6, lost Western Semi-Final First Up: Vs. BC, June 8 Off-season notable: Jake Maier heads into his first full season as a starter on a Stamps team that lost a few players but hasn’t changed much for 2023. The Stamps have scouted well and developed players within their own system for over a decade now and we expect them to be in the thick of things again this year. 4. Toronto Argonauts 2022 record: 11-7, won Grey Cup First Up: Vs. Hamilton, June 18 Off-season notable: MBT stayed put in the States and the keys to the offence go to Chad Kelly. If Kelly plays well, this is a dangerous team. The Argos might be even better defensively this year and remain loaded with offensive threats. If you’re unhappy with this ranking, at least your team is ahead of the No. 5 team. 5. Hamilton Tiger-Cats 2022 record: 8-10, lost Eastern Semi-Final First Up: At Winnipeg, June 9 Off-season notable: It’s a roster overhaul in Steeltown, highlighted by Bo Levi Mitchell taking control of the offence. Hosting the 110th Grey Cup this season at Tim Hortons Field, the Ticats are intent on playing in that game and making up for the opportunity lost there two years earlier against Winnipeg. 6. Ottawa REDBLACKS 2022 record: 4-14, missed playoffs First Up: At Montreal, June 10 Off-season notable: After a long recovery period, Jeremiah Masoli will get another crack at leading the REDBLACKS franchise back into the playoffs for the first time since 2019. Like a year ago, this team is a good one on paper. A healthy QB1 will let us see how good it can be. 7. Saskatchewan Roughriders 2022 record: 6-12, missed playoffs First Up: At Edmonton, June 11 Off-season notable: A new starting QB, a new offensive coordinator and a spruced up offensive line could be the answer to the Riders’ 2022 troubles. In an always-competitive West Division, the Riders may need to click early and get out to a strong start this year. 8. Edmonton Elks 2022 record: 4-14, missed playoffs First Up: Vs. Saskatchewan, June 11 Off-season notable: Taylor Cornelius will have the offence from the opening of training camp, which should make a difference for the Elks this year and he’ll have a wealth of receiving talent surrounding him when he gets out there. One other thing to think about here: a Chris Jones team in Year 2 under his watch has traditionally been very improved (think 2015 Elks and 2017 Riders). 9. Montreal Alouettes 2022 record: 9-9, lost Eastern Final First Up: Vs. Ottawa, June 10 Off-season notable: The Als certainly had their off-season challenges, undergoing an ownership change as the free agent market was opening, which cost them players. Still, they have some interesting pieces for this season and that starts with Cody Fajardo reuniting with head coach Jason Maas in the East Division. With better offensive line play in front of him, Fajardo could be poised for a bounce back season.

Ahhhh some Albertans care that hopefully gets reflected in the upcoming election. But F’ing polls show it may not be enough.

I don't know where this goes so I'm putting it in this thread. More motivating than good at least to me. It's sports related but cuts across everything imo. I've always been uncomfortable with carte blanche statements like 'don't care what others say about me' mantra without first getting that the complexity of doing this depending on what the specific context is. I just really like the below insight. Story by Patrick Djordjevic For Dailymail.Com quoting Marcellus Wiley: 'You need to apologize for those mistakes no matter who you are... everybody must. You can't go through a world where you're all "apologetically you", because that's not this world, that's not reality. 'For this mantra to to continue to have legs... what you should say is "I'm going to do everything with conviction."'

In world with Postmedia, it's laughable that CBC is the most "biased" news source. They try to be balanced to a fault. Postmedia is openly hostile to the centre and the left. Look at the people they employ!

TBF, the Bombers press release also has him at 6'4. https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/04/03/blue-bombers-transactions-april-3-2023/

New Framing. Mehdi says it far more eloquently than I could ever explain it.

I think he closer to 6'1 actually...maybe 6'2".....could be Bighill understudy and possible hair apparent at some point

I LIKE this signing. If he can run, he ought to be a terror.

LOL - thanks for the arrow...would never have seen Willie otherwise...😁

No one should ever use social media for news. Ever. I would be interested in some specific examples...

Willie lined up a few times as a receiver last year (towards the end of the year). He never saw the ball but when he was asked about it, he basically said it's up to Buck as to whether or not they'd throw to him or if he was just a decoy.

BA is a great show. Basically the only musician I've seen talk about the CFL between songs.

I approve of this message and @bluto you can **** right off.....
