Why? It's a debate. Let it continue until it's finished.

I also lost two close friends this week. One here in Calgary today & the other in Winnipeg. One to Alzheimers & the other to Diabetes/Pneumonia. It has been a terrible couple of days. I came here to be distracted & was wrongfully accused of a racist comment which sure hasn't helped my state of mind. The other sad thing is I can't go to both funerals which bothers me a lot. I have to decide & only go to one. Sad times. Getting old ******* sucks.

Sorry, man.

As a qb he's failed. The Ti Cats have obviously moved on from him. I'm sure the Cats want to get rid of that contract he's signed. I think if all avenues trade wise are explored & nothing comes of it, he'll be released. They have Schilz who can backup Bo levi Mitchell. It doesn't mean Evans is a failure in life. Football shouldn't define who he is. He's also a Dad & family man. He'll probably get a job & be successful. Not everyone is cut out to be a pro qb & handling the pressure that comes with it. Maybe it's time he moved on as well & got on with his life. I can't see any team beating a drum or be prepared to give up a lot to get him in a trade. That's the facts, Jack. Pro sports are cutthroat. Only the strong survive.

Damned right, I'm ornery. You'd be as well if someone intimated that what you said was racist when it never was meant to be. Go above & find my original comment about Bacharach with the 2 videos & the subsequent comments. As far as @Wideleft goes, I was out of line & I apologize. Great oogly moogly.

Even more important he has to gain the trust of his coaches & teammates. That may be very difficult to do.

Exactly. I wasn't thinking about skin colour or racism when I posted my thoughts. No idea why we're even talking about it. I've liked Dionne Warwick since I was a kid in elementary school. Being called a racist has a way of doing that.

And if she was white it would be the same so no it's not a bad example. I wasn't even thinking about the colour of her skin when I posted what I said. She isn't a black singer or a white singer to me. She's a singer! All I'm saying is that without Bacharach, Warwick wouldn't have had the same success. Look at that list of songs & tell me otherwise. The 2 met & they clicked. The rest is history. What if she had laryngitis on the day of her audition?? Maybe another female singer would have been chosen. It was meant to be. Well bully for you. Thanks for stopping by.

Dieter Brock was given a lot as a young qb. So was Zach Collaros, Henry Burris, Tom Clements, Matt Dunigan, Damon Allen, Tracy Ham, Nathan Rourke, Ricky Ray, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow & a bunch of others. None of them had to work on their head space. You have to be a special breed to be a successful pro qb. Most fail. Evans career is hanging on by a thread. It can go either way right now. It's really up to him to fix it. Coaching can only go so far. Ultimately, he needs to do whatver he needs to do to improve as he's running out of chances. If I'm a GM, I don't sign a qb who is comfortable sharing the qb duties with someone else. I want a backup who wants to play & feels he should be the starter.

The temper tantrums to me with his coaches & teammates tells me that he isn't a great teammate & that he has problems. He can't take on being a starter long term as he just crumbles under the pressure. I can stand a lot watching football but one thing I can't stand are players tossing their teammates under the bus while refusing to take responsibilty themselves. Both Fajardo & Evans are guilty of that. The 2019 Grey Cup, wow. I've never seen a qb act like that. We all remember Jim Barker trying to calm down Evans & he was throwing a hissy fit on the sidelines. Barker knew he & Evans were on television when that happened & Barker had this. "What the hell are we going to do about this guy??" look on his face. Then last year with his season going south fast, Evans did the same thing. Hissy fits on the field & sidelines. At 25 sure, maybe he'd change. At 29, I don't think so. He's already reached his ceiling for potential. What you see is probably what you're going to get.

Why do you think Evans can fix his brain? He's been a pro for awhile now. He's not so young. He's 29 years old. Born November 19, 1993. He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2016 & was released in 2017. He signed with the Ti Cats as well in 2017. He's been with them for going on 6 seasons.

It's not racist. It's copyright. What about Simon & Garfunkel? Two white dudes. Garfunkel didn't write one song. Paul Simon wrote all of them. And he was paid for it. Simon sold his book of songs to Sony Music for half a billion dollars while Garfunkel got nothing. And Simon wouldn't pay him a penny. The Eagles. Four white dudes. Guitarist Don Felder wanted all monies split evenly. Don Henley & Glenn Frey said **** that. After lots of srguing & legal wrangling, Felder was tossed out of the band on his ass. He never received writing royalties.

Yes, they did. But she didn't collaborate on any of them. Bacharach co wrote all his songs with Hal David. They were a team. All their songs were copyrighted with just their names. Warwick had no writing credits. They picked her to sing their songs. She would have had to audition along with other singers. Warwick was a huge talent as a singer but not as a writer. Sort of why Paul Simon sold his book of songs including any S & G for half a billion dollars to Sony Music in 2021 & Art Garfunkel got nothing. The real money is in the writing of the songs but not the singing. Although Warwick was well paid through her career.

In what way?

Yeah, Stove, Christ, these guys are out of here by third week of November. Like suck it up for a playoff game. Not impressed. The problem is, Evans is one hit away from starting & we don't need the Diva Show & headgames that go with it. I'd take Fajardo over Evans in a heartbeat.

Burt Bacharach MADE Dionne Warwick. Every one of her hits in the 60's & 70's were his songs. She'd have been another struggling singer without him. Do You know The Way To San Jose? Walk On By I Say A Little Prayer You'll Never Get To Heaven Let Me Go To Him I'll Never Fall In Love Again Alfie Don't Go Breaking My Heart This Girl's In Love With You Trains, Boats & Planes Message To Michael Reach Out For Me Promises, Promises Just ridiculous.....

They thought they were gonna clean up in the West with that weenie Rourke. Now, they're signing Dominique Davis as Adams backup. We had one but then he didn't like the cold. Wah, wah, wah. Dane Evans is totally ****** .

Last year TSN raved about the Lions receiving corps. Yeah, they were really good with Kid Canada (snicker, snicker Glenn Suitor) slinging that rock but our receivers are better than theirs. Zach is going to have a field day...

Hey Migs, go shove it. You know what gives you away? There is an actual Stamps fan named Stan Peters but he never trolls here. He used to always post on Riderfans. And a Stamps fan doesn't care about the Riders so why would a Stamps fan ask about Weineke?? Your team signs a soon to be crippled qb with your putrid OL & a 500 yard receiver so now you're trolling here? Where's the parade route? We all know the Riders have won so many Grey Cups in February.

My sister & brother in law moved to Regina in the mid 70's for 3 years. He was a young civil engineer at the time in the Winnipeg HO & his boss sent him to their office there to run the place. It was actually quite a busy office so it was a great opportunity for him still in his late 20's at the time. He then transferred to Edmonton & finally Vancouver. I was still a teenager so I'd go with my parents to visit them two or 3 times a year. You have no idea what that place was like before they built a water treatment plant. The sinks had 4 faucets, Warm, cold & hard & soft water. I can't remember if the hard water was for drinking & the soft for washing, especially clothes. The damned drinking water smelled. It had salt in it & was nasty, nasty, nasty. I'd always get an upset stomach when I visited as I'd usually drink the wrong water as it was chemically treated. Bleh. Life is much better for people there today. That water treatment plant makes living there almost easy.

I wish I had a magnifying glass.

He was tweeting zingers yesterday. First he deleted his tweet about not liking the City of Regina but the people are nice, He also tweeted about selling his rental property he owned there but gave advice to landlords to never rent a house to cat owners as he had to clean up cat pee & poop & then the place is too windy & cold.

He's a 1 year rental. Not FIFO.

The cap should be at least a million dollars higher.

This league is run by a bunch of ass clowns. How can you be surprised?
