  1. Refer to the asterisk. And when it comes to dessert, I'm usually on the scotch or bourbon wagon.
  2. I'm a proponent of the two beer* system. One while you grill and then another while you eat. *minimum number
  3. If fanboy dummies like Rod Pedersen and Rider Stronson get their way, your wish could come true.
  4. Nice and hot today Perfect for a football game Big Blue for the win!
  5. Obviously not. Rather, the part where it was determined his Charter Rights were violated and gov't officials at the time crapped the bed in how they handled him. Hence the public apology and payment nearly a decade later. A similar end result to what happened with Maher Arar, specifically due to gov't officials crapping the bed in his handling.
  6. Banjo Bowl games aside, I don't think IGF has hit 30K since early in 2014. This is great for the organization to see tickets selling like hot cakes for this game tonight!
  7. IGF is going to be loud tonight! Man, I'm stoked for this home opener!!!
  8. It was a Supreme Court decision made years before, though. Nearly a decade ago, actually.
  9. Incorrect. Revocation of citizenship on a conviction of terrorism applies only to naturalized citizens, not citizens by birthright. Khadr is the latter. He was born here. Canada is his country. It's unfortunate because he's a turd, but it is what it is.
  10. How do you suggest Canada go about revoking his citizenship? And where else should he be? He's a Canadian by birth.
  11. If the Jets are looking at a depth forward signing, someone capable of playing centre or wing would be nice. Versatility in the bottom six is never a bad thing, IMO. Someone like Pirri or VandeVelde could be a nice fit. Even Nestaril could come cheap. If it's just a dedicated centreman, perhaps Winnick... Although, I would expect he's looking for a decent payday. Cheaper options could be Desjardins or White.
  12. The Jets have enough veteran leaders to help out the young guys, ones who aren't in the twilight of their careers. Hard pass on Doan.
  13. Noticed that, too. And it's midway into the second quarter, so what gives? Really nice looking stadium, anyway.
  14. I don't think he dislikes any one team. He just has an obvious soft spot for the Riders and it's plain as day when he's doing the colour commentary for their games.
  15. Really poor form on Howell's part, IMO. He's usually a class act, so why he'd make excuses for Carter's idiocy is really baffling.
  16. That weird offside penalty was back in 2015 (week 14).
  17. Source? EDIT: nevermind... I should just read the thread.
  18. It's a great look for Rider Nation. Fans in the rectangle province back in December 2015 were tickled pink at the Jones' hiring and thumbed their noses at the rest of the league. In the 18 or so months since, the shoe appears to be on the other foot. It is an absolute joy to see what an utter failure Jones has been on account of wearing too many hats and biting off way more than he could chew. And I'm glad Carter's along on that ride. Destined for greatness...? More like garbage.
  19. The 2015 Riders were 0-9 and the Bombers lost the LDC that season. In two consecutive seasons, we see very similar records for one but different results. So, I agree: a W-L record doesn't have an effect on the outcome of a game.
  20. Meh. It worked out just fine last season. The Riders were 1-8 going into Labour Day Weekend and the Bombers managed a win there for the first time in over a decade.
  21. Chock full of supplementary goodness.
