Eternal optimist

I, for one, am in favour of a mailing campaign. "You may already be a winner!!!! JK you idiots live in Saskatchewan, suck it."

Let me just be the first to say your new profile pic is fantastic and everything you say I now read in Dwight Schrute's condescending voice.

To be honest - why have statues of any humans? Most of us are deplorable anyways, and at this point it seems humanity is merely circling the drain with climate change and unfettered capitalism running rampant.

Just saying though, the last two declining retreads we brought in at QB (Collaros, Durant) we ended up with a Grey Cup win and Streveler respectively. That said, I wouldn't bother with Jennings, though I understand the argument for him.

Was probably thinking next-level and was working interception-based incentives into his contract lol.

Let them be fat and happy.

Keep digging Saskatchewan, we can still see you!

Personally, I always refer to him as Speedy Me

I will be the first to admit due to COVID, I am out of practice. Once I've got my second shot I'll have to heckle slow mall walkers and anti-vaxxers to get myself up to speed before August 5th. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

So... our neighbor (who is a cop) just told us the most amazing story ever (NSFW) Apparently, at one of the recent anti-mask rallies, a counter-protestor (i.e. pro-mask, pro-vaccine) showed up with:

Yep, I remember one of the big things I first learnt was that every move should be both offensively and defensively minded. How important it was to subtly cover your advances and attacks, to ensure pieces had support etc. etc.

My dad sadly passed away a few years ago, but one of my fondest memories of him was when I turned five, he bought me my first chess set and board. The gift was nice, and anytime I asked him he would always play with me. I remember it fondly and it was a big part of growing up as a kid, he taught me the rules, and let me take moves back as a kid. He never let me win. I later found out this was a huge sticking point between him and my mom. My mom thought he should've let me win. I remember when I was about 12 I legitimately beat him for the first time... as I got older, I started to beat him more and more. I'm nowhere near as good of a player as I once was, but I still love a good game. Thanks for sticking to your guns old, you made the right call.

I know signing big-name players hasn't always worked out for us in the past, but when the team brought in Dressler on O and Chris Randle on D, it really seemed to be a turning point for the organization. Although neither were around to see the team through to a Grey Cup, they helped lay the building blocks to bring in other guys and help build team unity. As for big name receivers - I'd rather blue collar guys like Adams who get after it and block downfield, way more important to our style of offense.

Booked my 2nd vaccine shot July 4 and just peeked at the 2021 schedule - only one Thursday night game (which the missus hates) but it coincidentally lands during our holidays. Looking forward to it... summer just got a lot more promising!

Yeah, I mean, I'd shame them if they were talking about how they ran stop signs or sped in school zones too. Same basic idea, don't be a jerk. Yeah, I mean, I'd shame them if they were talking about how they ran stop signs or sped in school zones too. Same basic idea, don't be a jerk.

Oh my god I've never been so excited to see the 'Riders lose in person. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Oh my god that's it. We have to make the conspiracy come full circle and spread propaganda that the anti-vaxxers are actually run by the government to prevent people from getting the steroid-enhanced vaccine that helps increase brain capacity by 60%. GENIUS.

I know a guy who is on paid leave for another couple days, so he might be able to help. Had a bit of a tussle with a guy from a competing company, his heart meant well at the time, but it was just a really stupid decision on his part. Was pretty dangerous what he did too. Long-term it'll probably be bad for us, but hopefully if we really pull together as a team to stay competitive with this other company, we can keep things close with them and make a run of it. His name is Mark Scheifele.

This sounds so much better than my "Take your kid to work day" at school. My mom is an optometrist. I had to tighten and clean all the glasses on one showcase wall. Finished that in about an hour. Next task? "Okay...uh... now do the other wall".

Dear Saskatchewan, Your football team still sucks - but thank you for extending a helping hand to our province during this troubling time. Hope we can whoop your butts again soon.

Yeah, across the country it's just Conservative premiers pandering to their base, once we inevitably find ourselves in the throes of a third (fourth?) wave, it'll be interesting to hear the excuses. I do find it interesting though.... does Mr. Pallister & Co realize that his base (which, demographically speaking, are older citizens) are more susceptible to COVID-19? They do know dead voters can't vote, right?

It'd be so much harder for the Rider's to live in the basement though!

Just how much do the 'Riders suck? The longest period of time a single team has been Grey Cup Champions is 1841 days,, this was the 1915 Hamilton Ti-Cats. They won it on November 20, 1915, and the trophy wasn't rewarded again until December 4, 1920 due to WW1 and the global flu pandemic at the time. By comparison, in their entire existence, the Roughriders have been champs for only 1470 days (1966 - 371 days , 1989 - 364 days, 2007 - 364 days and 2013 - 371 days TLDR; A lot.
