  1. Almost makes me want to be an athiest. Religion has been the scourge of mankind since the Neandertals first marvelled at night & day.
  2. You just did.
  3. Maybe if Boris would have shaken his cane... No big loss as people over 60 are useless anyway.
  4. Well, considering older people are more at risk that's a pretty heartless comment.
  5. What does Italy have to do with Canada? It certainly is not plateauing here. Quit cherry picking stats.
  6. Would you want schools open in Manitoba?
  7. Frustrated? Throw the asshat pastors in jail. Give them long prison sentences.
  8. Canada open by Easter? that's next week. Not likely. Panic has taken hold? No, I don't see people in panic mode whatsoever. More resigned to the situation.
  9. Coaches make names for themselves because they have the talent around them to execute their systems & win. Coaches that don't, lose.
  10. Yeah, I'm aware of it too as I'm a school bus driver. March 14th was my last day. Schools will probably not reopen until September. Alberta has closed until September. So has BC. No way they reopen in Ontario or Quebec with their Covid 19 numbers so other provinces will probably follow suit to keep things the same across Canada. Ontario is optimistically looking at May 1st to reopen but that's not realistic knowing what we know now. If the pandemic recedes they may loosen restrictions in the warmer summer months but there is a concern of a second wave in the fall & into the winter.
  11. Which will be extended if needed. No way, the Liberals put millions into poverty or on the streets while they tell us to stay home & businesses remain closed.
  12. A favourite of mine was Bomber fullback Bob "Hoss" Houmard. If anyone remembers his style of play, a big 235 lb straight ahead fullback then the nickname sure fit. I remember Jack Matheson used to love the guy. Another personal favourite of mine was fullback Jerome Bettis who was called The Bus. Another of the nicknames I miss are the defensive line Front Fours. Many years ago, the Ottawa Rough Riders had Capital Punishment. The Stampeders had The Four Trees. The Eskimos had Alberta Crude. In the NFL, the LA Rams had The Fearsome Foursome & The Vikings had The Purple People Eaters. Pittsburgh Steelers had The Steel Curtain that originally was only the name of their front four but later encompassed their entire defense. The Miami Dolphins had The Killer Bees to describe their DL & Chicago had The Monsters Of The Midway. In the CFL, the Bombers coined the nickname of The Hogs for their offensive line a decade before the Redskins called theirs by the same name. Bill Frank was the Head Hog. Too bad nicknaming offensive & defensive lines have gone out of style. It really added to the games. The media & fans would love it when they'd talk about Capital Punishment vs The Hogs.
  13. School is out now.
  14. Just another racist & xenophobic article. Ai yi yi.
  15. I always liked Jackie "Spaghetti Legs" Parker & Dave "The Knife" Raimey.
  16. The Chinese can't be hurt militarily but they can be hurt economically & perhaps changes to supply chains will be the thing that will do it.
  17. The Chinese are an economic juggernaut. The Russians aren't. Their power comes from their military. It always has.
  18. Well, they would. If that makes me xenophobic then I'm good with it because I don't trust the Chinese as far as I can toss a boulder.
  19. It may prolong some guys careers as well. Having a year off may help them heal up properly.
  20. Yep, cut your first Grey Cup winning qb in 29 years. See ya, Zack. Thanks for stopping by.
  21. Exactly. We'll see Arbuckle turn into the exact same qb as Nichols under LaPolice.
  22. Why wouldn't they? They got into trade wars with the rest of the world. It's all about ideology. Destroy the United States without firing a shot or launching a missile & they control the world economically.
  23. Trump's base is lapping it up & vowing to destroy 3m as a company for not putting Americans first. 3M has a manufacturing plant in Canada but it doesn't make masks. This kind of stuff needs to change.
  24. Anyone see the news today? WH wants 3M to stop delivering masks to Canada & the rest of the world. Which is exactly my racist & xenophobic point about supply chains. But we'll have peace in our time. They can be trusted.
  25. Xenophobic & racist? Like WTF?
