  1. I guess nothing ever came of that in 2005, I don't remember. I do remember Irvin's drug trial in 1996. That was a big deal back then during the height of the Cowboys 1990's 3 Super Bowl run. He faced 20 years in jail for cocaine possession but got no jail time as long as he kept out of trouble during the time of his probation which was 4 years. However, the only reason he got probation in the first place was because he was a Dallas Cowboy as his probation coincided with the start of training camp.
  2. Michael Irvin when he was a Cowboy was as bad ass as they came. You see him now on the NFL Network all loosy goosey, happy & joking around but you can still see the intensity & look in his eyes that he had when he was a player back in the 90's. Back then, it was a life of excesses. Money, alcohol, drugs, houses, cars & women nearly did him in. He had it all & he was not a nice human being to boot. He really should be dead or having spent years rotting in jail but he's one of the guys that did turn his life around. I think he appreciates life now & what he has.
  3. You clog the hospitals then hundreds will die & you have all kinds of other problems far worse.
  4. Yep. parents can be terrible people as well taking their son or daughter's money as well.
  5. The first thing a young player needs is a top flight agent. On who isn't a friend who simply tells his client what he wants to hear. One that will light a fire under his client's ass if he isn't doing the work or needs tough love if he screws up. Too many agents are in it for the money & to get rich off their players & actually don't care. Agents are business partners & young players need to trust & respect them. Finding a good one must be a daunting task.
  6. I remember five years ago people saying the same thing about Johnny Manziel. How he deserved another chance. We all know how that worked out. In the end, even June Jones in Hamilton said he refused to put the work in to be a great player. I know he played in the AAF but for all intents & purposes, Hamilton was his last chance & he still refused to do what he needed to do to have a chance at success. I call that just a lack of character. Like the student who never studies who blames the teacher when they fail. Ultimately, it falls on the players shoulders to be prepared & ready.
  7. Did you defended Johnny Manziel with the same message as well? If you did it was a waste of time like we always knew it would be. Other young players come in from college, sign big contracts & become great players. That is the majority who make it & start. Why? Because of character. Because they jnow how fortunate they are to be playing pro footvball. They outwork the next guy & do what they have to do to become better players . Thatis what separates a one player from another. Why some make it & others don't. Yes, Duane Haskins was coddled. For that we already know. He was probably told how great he was since he was 10. Transgressions were overlooked for him but probably not others on every team he played before Washington. Because he was coddled he never developed a proper work ethic as he could get by on athleticism until he got to the NFL. In other words, Haskins became a spoiled, entitled brat thinking the rules never applied to him. I have no sympathy for an athlete who was getting paid HUGE money but throws away his career. He'll probably get another chance to redeem himself as first rounders always do but looking at the track record of other first rounders who were given chances (most recently Johnny Manziel), Haskins will probably screw that up as well.
  8. That makes no sense. You believe that it's worse to have people stay in their homes than cramming thousands into shopping malls on Boxing Day & spreading the infection further thus lengthening the lockdown? Some not wearing masks? Politician with another empty promise for his constituents.
  9. Sorry Mark. Disagree, Overcrowded malls & social gatherings just invite infections.
  10. This was the best sci fi show on TV ... When I was 7. Not kidding. This is from 1961 & 62. Thity nine half hour episodes.
  11. Not surprising. Some of the Epic Fails of first round draft picks include Art Schlicter, Ryan Leaf, JaMarcus Russell, Johnny Manziel & now Dwayne Haskins. They might as well have shot themselves in the foot for destroying their careers. Drugs, booze, gambling, pnostitution... you name it as these bozos did it all or a part of it to themselves.
  12. Changed it for you.
  13. Hopefully this affects the morons who came out in the hundreds of thousands to malls such as West Edmonton, Cross Iron Mills & Chinook Centre here in Calgary as well as elsewhere in Alberta. Like they give a **** about anyone else. Boxing Day draws lineups to Calgary, Edmonton malls | CBC News
  14. QB Dwayne "Peanut Brain" Haskins cut by Washington today. Bad practice habits & video habits, lack of work ethic, selfishness as in celebrating a little too much in the locker room after the game when he threw for over 300 yards earlier this season that did not endear himself to his teammates, & coaches Made too many bad throws at critical times in games. Which came down to his lack of preparation. The final straw was attending his girlfriend's birthday party with 2 prostitutes & going maskless which violated NFL protocols. These athletes being given anything before they prove they are worth it. Stupid is as stupid does. NFL teams are just as stupid as their players.
  15. Not believing what he is hearing, the look on Bubbles face says it all.
  16. Yes but for him to leave Hamilton, he'll want to be paid perhaps the highest in the CFL. He'd probably take less to stay in Hamilton.
  17. TSN would lose advertising revenues... They would not be happy. Other than Canada, does any other country even care about this tournament?
  18. Canada 16-2 over Germany? When did the Germans give up a safety?
  19. He seems like he's loyal to the Ti Cats. At least from everything I've read. I just worry about Collaros longevity.
  20. Just found out about Jon Huber. Known in wrestling as Luke Harper in WWE & then Brodie Lee in AEW. Very sad. The WWE just wasted Huber's talent teaming him with with that slug Eric Rowan & making him play second fiddle to Bray Wyatt in the Wyatt Family. Wyatt always has a gimmick & is great on the mic but Lee was the most talented in the ring among those three. RIP Jon Huber.
  21. What does this mean?
  22. RV full of explosives detonated in Nashville. A caller gave 15 minutes warning resulting in no loss of life. Five years ago it would have been blamed on Muslim terrorists. Today, the alt right wingnuts will be blamed & rightfully so until proven innocent. If this is true then this is what Trump & his supporters wanted & why the DOJ should go hard after Trump when he leaves office.
