  1. Which DCs that are currently available do you think the Bombers should be targeting?
  2. I don't know, it was arguably one of the best shows for it's time. It dealt with real social issues and did it in primetime. They didn't trivialize the issues and kept a huge audience for a very long time. That was remarkable. There were other shows that dealt with serious social issues of violence and drug/alcohol abuse during the same timeframe but never kept the audience. But we should never forget the deep social message of "Not the Mama".
  3. Roseanne was so ahead of it's time. Remarkable that this program, that dealt with real issues in a half-hour sitcom format, thrived for so long. Rosanne Barr is a real piece of work but they created a masterpiece with this show.
  4. I'm five episodes into Godless on Netflix and it's been great. Western with a bit of Deadwood flair. Not as good, of course, but very enjoyable. There are only seven episodes so it's not much of a commitment. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5516154/ http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/features/godless-why-netflixs-brutal-timely-western-is-a-must-see-w512344
  5. Bottom line, don't mess with Heisman.
  6. Biggest issue facing Lions fans is loneliness.
  7. Don't forget the undiagnosed concussions. And don't forget about the concussions.
  8. No Demski? Or just not top5?
  9. FAKE NEWS!!!! SO SAD.
  10. They'll start 2 6 and Hervey's going to fire him, guaranteed.
  11. Biggest knock against Walters and MOS is that they are not in the East. TO was a .500 team and would have been .500 last year with a healthy Ray. TO played at home in the East Final against the 4th best team in the West as a result of being a .500 team. Pump their tires all you want but Popp and Trestman didn't work any miracles. They played well enough in one important game in miserable conditions. And, even then, still needed a bad fumble at the goal line to turn everything around.
  12. Yes, I think Bomber fans deserve a Grey Cup and I think it's quite incredible that we haven't had one since 1990. But games happen at the micro-level. We've been to the GC and we've been with the best team and it has not worked out. Glenn's arm, Westwood's foot... whatever. Build a good team, attract good coaches and players and we'll get another chance to hoist the GC. Do that on the macro-level and I'll be happy. We'll get ours.
  13. I could see Collaros being interested in Saskatchewan. Wacky HC coach aside, there is a great receiving corps and not much competition at QB. If he wants to start, he has a pretty good shot in Riderville next year at some point.
  14. Well, now that Ray has aged and may retire, it's time Edmonton send Reilly to Toronto because he's too old.
  15. Their biggest rivals are Ducks. They probably feel pretty dam tough.
  16. That's too bad. I thought it was a good pairing for Riley at Nebraska. I'm surprised it didn't work out but the Big 10 is incredibly competitive. He'll bounce back. There are plenty of mid-major colleges that would happily take him. The Beavers could use some help again. They're god-awful and have only won one game this season. And now the Pac 12 is getting better with Chip returning.
  17. Yes. There would be some obvious outs like if they quit to become a HC or do something illegal but they are not at all like player contracts.
  18. 1990. I was living in Saskatchewan, who had won the previous year. We had a dressed rehearsal for a school play. It was unconscionable that they would schedule it on GC Sunday but they did. Listened to the first half on the radio and raced home at HT to watch the second half. It was great to watch all the "Rider" fans disappear once again. They pretended to care about their team for almost an entire season. The GCs in the 80s were good but I was too young to appreciate their significance. Even 1990, I was happy but expected it to continue.
  19. Shake my fist. Post disparaging comments on MBB.
  20. I'm sure there was an Auston Matthews' retrospective that they needed to air instead.
  21. RE: JL. One of the most marketable characters in JL is Superman. So, they "kill" him off before JL limit the JL marketing to the other characters that have much less appeal. Geniuses, the lot of them. Hard core fans will go regardless, but Marvel reached well beyond their traditional fan base by relying on the big name characters.
  22. I guess we expect something different from our broadcasters. Fair enough. Also, I rarely listen to the game because I'm at the game or watching it on TV. I'm never satisfied with timing of watching it on TV and while listening to Bob on the radio.
  23. You're just trolling, right? Bob is boring?
  24. A lot of work goes into to these conspiracies. Interesting that planes don't go high enough but he's only launching himself 1,800 feet in the air. Why does government/illuminati/stone cutters want everyone to believe the world is round? Does this truly all circle back to proving the bible is correct? Another fav of mine is the New Chronology: from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Chronology_(Fomenko According to New Chronology, the traditional chronology consists of four overlapping copies of the "true" chronology shifted back in time by significant intervals with some further revisions. Fomenko claims all events and characters conventionally dated earlier than 11th century are fictional, and represent "phantom reflections" of actual Middle Ages events and characters, brought about by intentional or accidental mis-datings of historical documents. Before the invention of printing, accounts of the same events by different eyewitnesses were sometimes retold several times before being written down, then often went through multiple rounds of translating and copyediting. Names were translated, mispronounced and misspelled to the point where they bore little resemblance to originals. Other pieces: Historians and translators often "assign" different dates and locations to different accounts of the same historical events, creating multiple "phantom copies" of these events. These "phantom copies" are often misdated by centuries or even millennia and end up incorporated into conventional chronology. This chronology was largely manufactured by Joseph Justus Scaliger in Opus Novum de emendatione temporum (1583) and Thesaurum temporum (1606), and represents a vast array of dates produced without any justification whatsoever, containing the repeating sequences of dates with shifts equal to multiples of the major cabbalistic numbers 333 and 360. The Jesuit Dionysius Petavius completed this chronology in De Doctrina Temporum, 1627 (v.1) and 1632 (v.2) One might wonder why we should want to revise the chronology of ancient history today and base our revision on new empirical-statistical methods. It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century chronology was considered to be a subdivision of mathematics. Archaeological dating, dendrochronological dating, paleographical dating, numismatic dating, carbon dating, and other methods of dating of ancient sources and artifacts known today are erroneous, non-exact or dependent on traditional chronology. No single document in existence can be reliably dated earlier than the 11th century. Most "ancient" artifacts may find other than consensual explanation. It goes on and on and on.
