Thank you. Glad things are working out for you. I have a hard time accepting that good things can happen to me. As in, I deserve it. Even though I feel at times I don't. I used to feel I wasn't good enough to be happy.

As soon as Kenney won he thought he was the smartest guy in the room. He stopped listening & ran a top down govt when most of his base expected a grassroots bottom up political party. He brought in a lot of people from Ontario to run the govt & it alienated a lot of Albertans. The policies & style of government Kenney ran didn't connect with a lot of Albertans.

Thanks, Rod. Appreciate it.

That would have been absolutely terrible to deal with. It's something you never get over.

I haven't been spitballin' mad here for years now. I've worked hard to calm down & reign it in a lot as I know that I can be a difficult poster to deal with & have been in the past. I'm not perfect as I still have my moments but I try everyday to be better as well as gain people's trust here. Not that I want anyone to feel sorry for me but a lot of the anger I have/had was from anxiety & depression which I've suffered from for years all the way back to Grade 10 when I first had suicidal thoughts as school for me that year was an abysmal failure. Or just suck it up!! It went undiagnosed for decades. It was always, "He has a bad temper." Well, yes & no as it was more than that. But when you feel some days like you're going to die if you leave the house, it's a tough life not knowing why. I was so angry, nervous & sad all the time. I've sought professional help & it is helping. Anyway, enough! I don't want to be the person here I used to be.

Watched the entire game & somehow missed that. But it's not like TSN would tell us who's kicking as Nielsen & Suitor just keep yapping all game long.

Don't forget Harris. LaPo's crutch.

Just kickoffs?

I was surprised Mourtada wasn't used on Tues night.

In 2017, Matty could throw. His injury didn't occur until 2019. It's LaPo's style of offense. It's his comfort zone.

I think he'd get more money signing in the CFL.

Buck also challenges the opposing defenses with a much more vertical passing offense. If he can beat you deep he'll take that shot whereas with LaPo it's spread the field, run the **** out of the ball with Harris, screens & checdowns. Or throw three or four yards short of a first down & let the receiver get it on his own. He' was conservative & hardly ever took chances with his playcalling. How many times were we ten points ahead at the half only to sit on a lead in the 3rd & 4th quarter? To me, LaPo played not to lose. Buck plays to win. Huge difference.

Surprised both teams played all rookies. I figured the Riders would come out with their first stringers, jump all over us, get the big lead & then sub in the rooks. Like Calgary did to BC. So, I'll give props to Craig Dickenson for having a plan & sticking to it. In Calgary, they were up something like 46-7 & blitzed the BC rookie qb Thompson & he was seriously injured. Big controversy that the Stamps should have mercied the Lions & not blitz hard late in the game. Stamps say they were just doing what all defenses do. When asked, Dave Dickenson said football is a tough game. & injuries are unfortunate. My feeling is that Thompson needed to see some blitzes so he could recognize them as part of his development. It's too bad he got hurt but no one other than Lions fans would say it was a deliberate attempt to injure him. I never saw the play so I can't judge.

LaPo is supposed to be this QB Guru which I never understood. He never played QB. Especially since he was a D3 receiver in college. Much like Jacques Chapdeliane who was a slot in the CFL & whose offense is a nightmare for qbs to learn & understand.

Well done,Mike. We salute you.

When I think of how it could be Rod Black in the booth I get a

Yeah, they can take their time. Injuries play a factor as well. Some guys may be kept around because the starter ahead of them can't play.

Matty & Doug never came out. They did their own sneaks. Goal line offense wasn't done the way it is now. IThe starting qb stayed in. It was more of a straight ahead, qb behind center or the guards, get the qb pad level & head down & puuuussssssshhh while getting the snot kicked out of them, Now, it's an entire short yardage/goal line unit with a backup qb who generally runs down the LOS, picks a hole & goes through it while getting the snot kicked out of them.

Okay, why not?? West: Winnipeg Calgary Saskatchewan Edmonton BC East: Hamilton Torontp Montreal Ottawa

Just curoius but how would the CFL get on a huge streaming service like DAZN, for example & go global?

I think that's the plan. I certainly hope so. He is so underused.
