  1. I suggest the No Pants Party.
  2. Using the same analogy, proper conduct would be researching the best places in the city to buy a car, then concluding the best car dealership to purchase a car from. Tunnel vision would be concluding the best place to buy a car is the local bike shop, due to their local proximity, the fact they sell things on wheels and that they're convenient and at the end of the block. Besides, I just have a "gut feeling" that is the best place to find a car.
  3. I'm just sayin' money talks, end of the 2018 season all the Rider faithful thought Jefferson was loyal, too...
  4. Just adding fuel to the fire, but isn't Jeremiah Masoli currently a free agent?...
  5. Merry Christmas you filthy animals!
  6. Neat site that (sort of) fixes this problem: https://www.movieofthenight.com/ Lets you sort Netflix/Amazon Prime etc. videos by genre instead of using Netflix's terrible interface. Also allows to filter for movies on Netflix Canada, which tends to be terrible for distribution rights. Gems that are good comedies I have found through it are: Clue (available on Amazon Prime) Manhattan Murder Mystery Both hilarious who-dunnit mystery/comedies that help with the COVID blues and are good for a laugh.
  7. I agree with the list. By "agree" I mean I agree with the prospect of giving the Bombers locker room more fuel for the fire. Plays right into their underrated, blue collar style of play and punching the Ti-Cats/Stamps/Riders or whoever else they face when it matters most. I think a more important question is... does Speedy B display that Most Outstanding Player trophy anywhere? Maybe right next to the photoshopped picture of him hoisting the Grey Cup?
  8. Obviously the parade route was due to LaPo's stale offensive gameplan. They didn't even block off the right streets! Downtown was a sieve for fans to run rampant and sack Portage & Main at will, often in jubilant, vagabond mannerisms.
  9. Oh my dog I am so glad we are arguing about football again. It's a Christmas miracle!
  10. Do not use the lord's name in vain!
  11. I think the bigger discrepancy is not just in 2019, where the Bombers obviously did better... but also just look at the last five seasons... The Bombers posted a winning season every season from 2015-2019 except 2015, which I would argue they were still in the rebuilding phase. For the Als, 2019 was their first above 0.500 season since 2012 (though they did have a 9-9 season in 2014).
  12. What pipe dream world do you live in where they have teeth?
  13. I think a much better question would be how well (or poor) will Nichols do in Toronto...
  14. Yeah, they should post every 'Rider loss (both playoff and regular season) too. I mean, I know that's a ton of work... just the sheer volume of footage... but, I think I can speak for every other fan base in saying the effort would be worth it.
  15. Trend analysis of vaccinations by citizen, also that way you could keep track of which individuals do (or do not) have the vaccine. I mean, if you really want to get big brother you could then use that information to restrict access to areas (I'm not condoning this, just giving it as an example).
  16. For when COVID mutates and isn't suppressed by the current vaccine. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a system in place that tracks which citizens are (or are not) vaccinated. Better late than never.
  17. Dude it's COVID of course I'm going to argue with you I am bored as **** lol. 🤣.
  18. People crazy enough to not get the vaccine once widely available would also be crazy enough to forge legal documents like, say... a COVID passport?
  19. We are already in big trouble.
  20. Except that he absolutely did make cuts and restricted government funding to key health providers. WRHA's governmental funding (per their audited financial statements) dropped by about 30% year-over-year when you compare the March 31, 2020 statement of operations to the March 31, 2019 statements. Source: https://www.gov.mb.ca/government/finances/financialstatements.html (Just search "Health" and you can obtain the WRHA financial statements) You cannot tell me a 30% reduction is normal year-over-year fluctuations.
  21. Well, yeah... I mean, Flutie is 58 now, he has slowed down a bit lol.
  22. Topical comedy on the best meal, I ever had ... hilarious and a good laugh given the troubling times we're in (audio only)
  23. I just tell 'Rider fans to call me when they need two hands to count their GC rings. Also, they're such a trash franchise, their first ever GC win was against the Ottawa Rough Riders. They are the only goddamn team name in existence that won the Grey Cup while also losing it. Really sad we didn't have the home opener this year against him... I planned on making a sign referring to him as Speedy Me for his selfish ways lol.
  24. I think you're both right... I've been fortunate that my career allows me to work from home, and I haven't been adversely impacted by the economic slowdown or had any close family or friends impacted by the virus. However, things have certainly changed, and I think Noeller's point is more that we could all use a welcome distraction or a Bomber win or a 'Rider gaffe (or even both), to help get through the daily grind right now, but the virus has even taken that away. On the flip side, TrueBlue is right in that healthcare workers are putting their own lives and their family's lives on the line, and to suggest a single cancelled season of the CFL is such a crushing blow undermines the gravity of the current situation. As someone minimally impacted by COVID, and a non-healthcare worker, I'd say the best we can do is be civil to one another, respect the rules and focus on what brings us together - not sets us apart... Things like ripping on the 'Riders some more!
  25. The cancelled 2020 season hurt the league big time. Having a 2021 schedule out though gives hope, and allows for them to start (hopefully) selling season tickets for the 2021 season. Wishful thinking? Sure... but seriously, what else do you expect them to do? As a season ticket holder myself, we just rolled our 2020 season ticket credit to the 2021 season, but I think this is really just an attempt to get overly optimistic fans to hopefully buy in. All teams need the cash right now more than ever.
