  1. He developed into a pretty good qb. I expect that he should step up again.
  2. I see Mike Edem & others have signed one year deals with their respective teams. Thanks to the rudderless leadership of Randy Ambrosie Nothing. Has. Changed. What about the great opportunity for the CFL to reset it's business model? Under Ambrosie Nothing. Will. Change.
  3. If he goes after Biden's son then watch them come after his family once he is thrown out on January 20th. My hope is Trump has to deal with criminal charges & lawsuits the rest of his miserable life.
  4. Als re-sign William Stanbeck & Vernon Adams to restructured deals. Good signings even without knowing the salary cap yet. You need a quality qb & a running back to win so these 2 signings may not have hurt that much. Wait'll the offensive linemen across the CFL get a load of how much less they'll be paid. That will really reset the salary cap.
  5. They could be 0-17 & we'd see every fricking, fracking, freaking Giants game. I hate that team just because we're forced to watch their futility it seems nearly every week on SNF or MNF.
  6. Christie was a staunch supporter of Trump & even he is calling him out now.
  7. Six months from now we'll still be subject to restrictions, social distancing & wearing masks but things should be more open then they've been the past 8 months. A lot will depend on how effective the vaccines are & how long they last.
  8. Whenever he discusses a topic with someone who disagrees he drowns them with news stories & stats supporting his case knowing full well not many people are going to sift thru pages & pages of disinformation. Time to move on as you're trying to conform to him but he would refuse to do that with you.
  9. You'd think an educated person would have a free mind... To be able to sort things out for what they are. Unbelievable.
  10. My son used to privately coach qbs whenever he was back in Calgary for a visit. While he was going to college in the US & before he got married & moved to Seattle. There was a kid who was one of his players he trained back in 2012. I think he would have been in Grade 9 at the time. He went on to play qb in high school. They'd always hook up when my son came home. Probably last time was 2015. Then he graduated & went to college in Kelowna but never played post secondary football. Nice kid. Polite & respectful. Ha... Well fast forward to today. He's one of my facebook friends & has turned into this Alt Right Conservative Wingnut. He's into the Deep State, Q'Anon, the US election was rigged against Donald Trump. Trump is our Saviour & on & on & on. We had a few discussions & he is waaaay out there to the point of being a fascist lunatic. There's just no discussing it with him. He's always polite with me as he knew me as Tyler's dad (his QB coach) & he knew I was a football coach so he still showed me respect & didn't fly off when I disagreed. A couple of weeks ago it was Trump will still be the next President on January 20th to today (which ain't happening) & government mind control through the Covid & flu vaccine... Matter of fact he's totally an anti vaxxer in every way never mind flu & covid vaccines. He's anti mask. He was saying that government is trying (again) to control us through lockdowns... The Deep State wants to destroy small business & control the economy. Anyway, you get the picture. And the responses?? Lots of Hell Yeahs & Right Ons but never much of any explanations from his Minions as to why which I found interesting. Just cheerleading. There isn't one thing he says I agree with so I blocked him. I don't need to see anymore of his hateful garbage on my newsfeed anymore. Good riddance. How does a 22 year old get filled with so much hate & mistrust?? Hell, at his age, I was interested in politics but chasing girls, getting laid & partying was my main concern. getting my first career job after university. And driving a brand new car.... That was my life at 22.
  11. These pastors are so ridiculous. Anyone can call themselves a pastor.
  12. Trump is incapable of tweeting that...
  13. Yep. Good summation, Booch. I see it the same way.
  14. After Brady? Over the years how many rings did he help his teammates win?? Newton won't be winning any Super Bowls for his teammates anytime soon. Newton's former HC in Carolina Ron Rivera used to take it easy on Newton after a bad game & say very little so as not to upset Newton. Whereas Belichek has no compuction to criticize his players in front of his teammtes as Brady was chewed out plenty of times in team meetings over 20 seasons. Maybe Newton can't take the pressure by Bill Belichek in New England?
  15. Newton lost me when he acted like an ass after his Super Bowl loss. It's one thing to be unhappy after a loss & we all understand that. But to act like he did? No class. Self centred & selfish player. That was the year of Supermasn Cam Newton. It's one thing to be Superman when he's winning but he turned into Superchump against the Broncos. I just don't think his Patriot teammates want to play well for him. That maybe he's lost the locker room with the leaders on the team.
  16. Cam Newton is just an awful qb. Bill Belichek kept telling the media after the game last night that Newton is his qb. Yeah, until the final game of the season then he is gone. I can't see the guy back in New England next season. There are some qbs who struggle that fans want to succeed & there are others like Newton where they revel in his failures.
  17. That's not what we're being told. We're told that the virus will spread like wildfire once we're indoors from the cold as we can't go outside anymore. Bleach on the rocks....
  18. He's old & super expensive. I don't see him making much of a difference with Indy. Greg Williams helped preserve the Trevor Lawrence pick who may be another Peyton Manning. NY Jet fans should build statues of Williams in thanks.
  19. The only position where I will agree with you that the players of today are better than the past are on the offensive line. Guards & Centers were anywhere from 215 lbs in the early 50's to 245 lbs in the 70's. Tackles went from 225 ;bs in that era to 265 lbs in the 70's. Today's OL are all 285 - 300 lbs & are more athletic & can move. The greats of yesterday like Frank Rigney would have a hard time playing today, if at all. On the defensive line players are somewhat bigger where the interior players are 270 lbs or bigger but the DE's are still 245-250 lbs & are very quick. (See Willie Jefferson & Charleston Hughes). However, guys like John Helton, Junior Ah You David Boone or Dave Fennell could still play if they were in the prime.
  20. None of those guys could help the Niners. They might as well stay with Garrapolo. Prescott is never leaving Dallas. Jerry Jones loves him as a player.
  21. BLM said a few weeks ago that he is willing to take a pay cut to make it work with the Stamps financially. Mike Reilly meanwhile is suiing the Lions saying his salary is guaranteed. One player gets it. The other in his late 30's lives in a fantasy world in Seattle. BLM may be a head case at times but there's no doubt he is committed to the Stampders while Reilly just wants to get paid & will go where the money is best. Pandemic or no pandemic. Season or no season.
  22. I don't watch UFC much. I don't disagree with your premise but please don't tell us MBT would have been an all time great if he played 40 years ago. He's a journeyman. A career backup who racked up a lot of yards in garbage time when his Argos team had actually lost. If you want to talk about the greats not being able to play today well your argument defeats itself. If Johnny Unitas was born in 2002 he'd have been trained using today's training techniques, nutrition & technology. Chances are he'd be better as a player now than he was in the 50's. The same with Starr, Namath, Baugh, Ploen, Lancaster, Parker, Kapp, Jackson or Staubach. If they were college players, they'd be better today than when they played & now being prepped for pro football.
