  1. Not many of those guys left. Who?
  2. We're talking SE Asia. Warm & humid. (Summer like). All close to the Equator. People are outdoors. BTW, last time I looked places like Hawaii, Cuba, The Mediteranean, Spain, Portugal, Greece, The Bahamas, Mazatlan, Jamaica & Costa Rica were in the Northeren Hemisphere. All those places have endless summers. https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/taiwan/taipei/ext https://www.accuweather.com/en/vn/ho-chi-minh-city/353981/weather-forecast/353981 https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/singapore/singapore/ext Beach in Singapore.
  3. Yeah, I expect some big names will go to FA in February & may not get signed even then.
  4. Everybody is at the beach or outside as it's summer.
  5. How many veterans from every team are going to be released as they are too expensive? I think sadly a lot of them will be let go.
  6. The one thing Brandon forgets is that the game 30 years ago was much more physical. Much more intimidating. Hits to the head of qbs was open season. They could be hit late, taken out at the knees. Qbs could be violently slammed to the ground with no penalty. Refs wouldn't whistle a play dead when a qb was swarmed by a number of defensive players. Defensive players could pile on the qb. Spearing was allowed as were clotheslines. It took a courageous qb to stand in there knowing he is going to get rocked with impunity. Something today's qbs don't have to worry about. So much as touch them & a flag is thrown. Intimidated qbs never set their feet & they throw too early as they don't trust their eyes that they have more time. Their accuracy & completion percentage as well as QB Rating suffers. I think a lot of today's star qbs would be nullified with fear playingfootball from the past & wouldn't be as effective as they are today.
  7. And the guys that played today's style of game in the 80's was Ham, Clements & Wilkie. They'd have torn up the defenses of today as they could spread the ball around to a plethora of different receivers. Especially Clements & Wilkie who didn't have guns for an arm. They were just very, very smart. And they'd be very, very smart today.
  8. MBT better than Brock? Clements?? Dunigan??? The only one nuts here is you pumping the tires of a CFL retread & pro football journeyman like MBT.
  9. Let's look at 1984. MBT would never have beaten out Tom Clements & john Hufnagel in Winnipeg, Dieter Brock in Hamilton, Warren Moon in Edmonton, Roy Dewalt in BC, Condredge Holloway & Joe Barnes in Toronto, JC Watts in Ottawa, Maybe he could have beaten out a young Danny Barrett in Calgary or Turner Gill with the Concordes in Montreal. Although both qbs played behind horrible offensive lines & had to scramble for their lives constantly. MBT was a pylon compared to both these guys. The only team he may have been able to play for was the Saskatchewan Roughriders who had a fading Joe Paopao as their qb. But could he tear up the league & just walk into a starting spot on any team in 1984? No, he's not good enough. Sure with guys like John Helton, Tony Norman & Dave Fennell running down his slow as molasses ass. #pylon
  10. What are you getting at? As clear as mud.
  11. I haven't paid attention to what you're posting. All I know is you're whining about losing Xmas because of Pallister.. People have been losing more than that when they are sick. I live in a Province where the Premier has lost no sleep over anyone dying from Covid. All he cares about is pleasing his Neandertal rural base here as that's all he has left. He doesn't give a **** how bad this virus gets. He won't bring in mandatory masks & he even told the media this week that he doesn't believe everyone should get vaccinated. Just like Trump today doing a rally in Georgia. Same damned thing. No masks. No social distancing. A super spreader event. He doesn't give a ****, either. So, no apology just because you're put out Pallister cancelled Xmas.
  12. Dunigan played with no fear. He could run & throw. It did shorten his career. Whereas Mitchell doesn't like to run or get hit. And I believe Dunigan had the respect of the entire locker room on every team he played on. There was no doubt who was in charge when he put on his helmet at practice or Game Day. Whereas Mitchell admits his ego got the best of him after winning the 2014 Grey Cup. He was centred around himself.
  13. MBT tearing it up? In 84? No. He still throws too many interceptions & has too many turnovers. That's like saying defenses were very simplified back then so Jason Boltus would have been an All Star.
  14. He made the anthem about him... Which it shouldn't be.
  15. Dunigan is one of the all time Greats. He was better than Collaros & Mitchell. Although Mitchell could have played in any era. Same with Reilly.
  16. Jason kenney playbook for sure. That cowardly little weasel knows he's lost Edmonton & most of Calgary but he's afraid of alienating his alt right country base. Now he's "threatening" targeted restrictions for Calgary & Edmonton. Funny how that works. I say bring it.
  17. Mitchell, Reilly, Adams, Harris, Collaros (when healthy). Massoli, Evans. They could play & that's six from CFL teams in 2019.
  18. You have a Premier who cares & he is at 32% approval while we have Kenney who doesn't care how many people die & is a ******* ideologue pandering like a coward to his base. He's at 40% here in Alberta. How is that possible?
  19. What's Kingsbury going to say? That Streveler can't? Wouldn't he look foolish?? Sure he can play but the question is can he be a long term starter if Murray goes down long term with an injury? If I was a Cards fan I'd be more concerned about that over wheter he can run short yardage.
  20. She never would have picked health care workers & physicians as scapegoats. That somehow they are responsible for out debt & deficit here in Alberta. I think we would have gone into some kind of lockdown by now.
  21. Kenney is second lowest in popularity of the Premiers. He just has this air about him that he is an ideologue protecting his base & whether it's 500 deaths or 50,000 that he doesn't care one bit.
  22. CBC report says situation in hospitals is very serious. The province has requested field hospitals from both the Red Cross & the federal government. This is what we get for putting the economy over peoples lives.
  23. But who said? Bomber fans.
  24. I have no reservations. When it's available I'll get it.
