Were the charges against Patrick Brown dropped?

Just look at the source of this thread. That's all you need to know.

I can accept that.

I sure hope if Sherman is found not guilty he sues. People's lives are being negatively affected by this so called #MeTooMovement & not everyone is guilty as charged. Ambrosie sure is judge, jury & executioner here.

Just remember some of the guys we had before him...

Nobody wants to be called a depreciating asset by their team.

And yet, we have won something like 25 games with him as OC in 16 & 17 & Matt Nichols has had two very, very good seasons as his qb. We were the highest scoring offense last season. He had a bad game on Saturday but I think it's way too early to think he needs replacing. Personally, I think talk like that is crazy.

Why can't they go to meetings? They're part of the team.

Just read about the passing of former Calgary Stampeder Larry Robinson. He was a mainstay on their defense from1961 to 75. The native of Calgary was an outstanding DB as well as the Stamps punter & PK. He was the CFL Western Conference Rookie Of The Year in 1961. He was runner up for the Schenley Award as the CFL's Top Canadian in 1964. He was a CFL Western Conference All Star in 1965, 1971 & 1972. As a kicker, he scored 1,033 points. His biggest FG was in the 1970 Western Final in Regina vs the Roughriders in the teeth of a raging blizzard. He played in 3 Grey Cups in 1968, 1970 & was a Grey Cup champion in 1971. he was elected to the Canadian Football Hall Of Fame in 1998. Robinson was a great football player & I remember him very well. That kick in the 1970 Western Final was a thing of legend. May he RIP.

Yes, I also watch what I say on social media. It's not worth it.

What other way can our receiving corps improve?? Bring in guys to push the people we already have. That's the only way we will get better.

So am I. Another former SFU teammate of my son.

Why do the Bombers never sign receivers & bring them in? Other teams do it & we don't. We roll with the ones we signed in the off season & that's it. I don't get it & never have.

Oh well. He had a career as a backup when he really wasn't good enough. So, instead of having bad memories he'll have good memories of backing up Mitchell & getting paid. He's now in Med School so I'm sure he's moved on.

Well, learn a new thing everyday. Thought Laval was in QC. Thanks.

I always thought Laval was a suburb of Quebec City? Non? Oui?? Time for some poutine??

The team in Laval has a private owner with a monopoly on Peps Stadium so he'd never allow a team to use it. That facility could easily be expanded to at least 25,000 but unfortunately it won't happen. The Quebec government won't help with a new stadium after the way Bettman has burned them.

This will only get worse when Halifax starts up. We don't have enough universities playing football to keep up, unfortunately. Fans want to see the CFL with 12 or 14 teams but that may just be impossible to do given the amount of Nationals we'd need.

I'm 63 & drive a school bus. I honestly know that my reflexes aren't what they used to be. Even my cognitive processes aren't the same as I was 20years ago. In the past few years, there have been a few times when I have been driving & completely forgot en route where I was going & how to get there. I look calm behind the wheel but meanwhile I'm panicking as I'm driving thinking where the hell am I going??? .Luckily, those few episodes lasted only about half a minute each time & I quickly regained my bearings but I never was like that when I was younger. However, I make up for a lot with 46 years of driving experience. But there's no way I'd feel safe driving a 40 foot school bus with 60 kids at age 73. I plan on putting my feet up in 10 years not wanting the responsibility for kids & teachers safety. Talked to drivers about my memory lapses & it seems to be a common problem among older drivers as most of them have experienced the same thing. So, I'm not alone. You guys in your 20's,30's & 40's, please believe me when I say things change as you age as a driver. I think a 73 year old commercial driver could be a safety issue.

You got to know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away. Know when to run. You never count your money when you're sitting at the table. There'll be time enough for counting when the GAME is done.

Not many 73 year olds driving or operating heavy machinery or trucks. Working behind a till at a convenience store is a lot different than driving a dump truck. Or operating a crane.

Just got back. Didn't notice anything different than here.

Age, reflexes & the ability to handle cognitively dangerous situations. I'm 63 & no way would I want to drive a commercial vehicle at that age. So safety reasons.

Why is a 73 year old working as a dump truck driver?
