Every team has good young players. Not every team has good coaches.

Posters here know my feelings about the 1972 Blue Bombers going 10-6 & being the regular season Western Conference Champs in the CFL during the regular season that year before losing to the 8-8 Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Western Final. We were heavy favourites to take care of the Riders in the Western Final that day having gone undefeated at home that season. Instead we lost 27-24 & 48 years later I still remember how disappointed & sad I was walking out of Winnipeg Stadium that day. How that loss had stuck with me all these years. It didn't matter that we went 10-6, were the best team in the CFL, were the champs of the West & heavy favourites to win the GC. We didn't do it. We didn't get the job done. We lost on a ******* gadget play & lousy officiating. The season turned into a failure on just one play. Ask any player who wore a Bomber uniform that day & any Bomber fan who was alive when that game was played. The season was a failure. Regular season pennants & trophies mean squat. The Grey Cup is EVERYTHING. I don't care what you say, TBurgess.

I have one word to describe my feelings about the WJC. Why?

It's over. A phone call means nothing. I could phone the Alpha Romeo dealership in Calgary enquiring on the price of Giulia Ti Lusso. Doesn't mean I have the money to buy one or they'll sell it to me. Just grasping at straws now.

I just don't get your take. You are almost saying that regular season wins are more important than playoff wins. After 29 years that is your summary of the 2019 season? That Montreal is no longer an easy win? With your logic, it means that even though the Ti Cats were slaughtered in the GC they had a more successful season than the Bombers because they won more games in a weaker division during the regular season. After 13 months you should be happy we won instead of looking for things to nitpick. The Ti Cats can't even say that the Bomber victory was a fluke because their offense was destroyed by the Bomber defense. & Andrew Harris took care of the rest.

Who cares what the Bomber record was in 2019? Who got the Cup? We got the Cup. Who got the Cup? We got the Cup!!

Yeah, they got caught up in the excesses of being rock stars. Glenn Frey anointed himself to be the one who was the prick in the band. The one who disciplined & criticized the others except Don Henley. Frey used to insult & mock Randy Meisner because he always struggled to sing Take It To The Limit... Meisner used to suffer from stage fright & there were days when he said he couldn't sing that particular song. When he felt that way Frey would intimidate Meisner by arguing & insultIng him in order to get him to sing. Meisner would always do it because of Frey but he became so stressed out that he eventually quit. Frey also viciously went after Don Felder as well when the guitarist felt all money made from album sales & concert sales should be split evenly & not the majority to going to Henley & Frey.

Simmons was always a narcissistic *******. Looks like Kiss had a very similar band structure like The Eagles. Don Henley & Glenn Frey always thought that they were the real band & players like Bernie Leadon, Timothy B. Schmidt, Randy Meisner, Joe Walsh & Don Felder were replaceable parts not very important. That everyone adored Henley & Frey & could care less about the other guys which was not the case.. Take the case of Steuart Smith. The guy who is always front & centre onstage with the Eagles Joe Walsh, Henley, Frey (before he passed away) & Tim Schmidt. He replaced Don Felder after he was unceremoniously booted out of the band. Yet nearly 30 years later he still isn't an official member of the band & never will be. Reason? He doesn't have to share in the royalties he would have had be been a true band member all these years. More money for Henley this way. Frey & now Henley didn't feel he was deserving to be an Eagle & reap the financial rewards had he been an official Eagle. So good on Ace Frehley & Peter Criss for upstaging Paul Stanley & especially Gene Simmons by having a good time.

As long as he can golf it's okay.

Not piling on but there were some very heated discussions here with Sweden always at or near the center of the arguments. A couple of members who supported Sweden at the time were banned because their arguments were unceasing. Now, it's been shown it was a mistake. Anyone notice MIke Pence & his wife got their Covid vaccine shot today. How would you feel about that if you lost a loved one in the US because of the inaction of the Covid Commission or whatever the Hell it was called that Pence was in charge of?? Over 300,000 people have died in the US. Pence didn't take it seriously wearing no mask or social distancing & he suddenly jumps to the front of the line ahead of health care workers & vulnerable seniors. What a joke. There HAS to be criminal investigations that will take place once Biden takes power.

I'm a little concerned we haven't signed anyone yet but nowhere near panic mode. Just wondering when an announcement will come. Walters needs to throw us a bone.

He apparently was drunk. Frehley said in his autobiography that he was terrified to go the Tomorrow Show with millions watching so he self lubricated beforehand. Peter Criss in his book said that Simmons was pissed off because for the first time the other 2 guys in the band stole an interview from him & Paul Stanley. Stanley didn't seem too put off about it unlike Simmons who has always been an ******* at the best of times.

I think you're right on that. Good catch.

Kiss on The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder. Ace Frehley was hilarious & it pissed off Gene Simmons. Snyder just went with the flow & he clicked with Frehley. I remember watching this & killing myself laughing. Kiss appearing on The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder on October 31, 1979. Ace Frehley is hilarious here much to the chagrin of Gene Simmons who was not happy with him stealing the show. Snyder clicked with Frehley & the rest is history. I remember watching this & I killed myself laughing. Click on the link: KISS on Tom Snyder [ 10/31/79 ] - YouTube

Yes. Jack Paar. The very first host of the Tonight Show. Carson replaced him circa 1962.... Don't quote me on that.

Kurt Keilbach with the booming pipes will always be the best pbp guy the Jets ever had.

Who were the members here last spring & summer who kept defending Sweden? I just remember that was all he & others here were talking about. Sweden this & Sweden that. A hundred years ago & the Swedish King would have executed the Epidemiologist Dr. Tegnell & the country's Prime Minister. Maybe they still should be.

Been saying this about driving a school bus. Alberta Health Services & the school boards we drive for won't tell drivers if a student has Covid because of the fact they say we haven't been exposed for more than 15 minutes which is so much ****.... My students are on my bus for 20 minutes to half an hour & they pass so close to me that they bump into me. Or sit one seat behind. Then there's FOIP. We aren't allowed to know. Bring the virus home to my family is okay but I'm not allowed as a driver to know which students are away with Covid. I have 2 fans that are supposed to be used to clear any fogged up windshields. I have them blowing on me full blast all the time. To hopefully blow any Covid virus past or away from me. Yes, we have masks & PPE face shields we put on when students come on board or depart but that doesn't feel like much protection.

The Hunter Biden scandal in comparison to Trump's Russian scandal? Trump's Ukrainian scandal? Trump's racist "Good People" scandal? Trump's handling of the Coronavirus scandal?

You got everyone but the first guy? Who is he?

Just a few.

Wow, how depressing. All the talk show hosts you grew up with?

It's golden.

Adams was an overnight sensation that took 4 years to make it. Once qbs can read defenses & get comfortbale with coverages the sky's the limit.

No, he would still be sworn in. What "scandals" exactly would prevent him from being President?
