Cato had mental health issues some say PTSD from where he grew up. Manziel doesn't have that but is bi polar which is treatable. If we said people with PTSD such as soldiers returning from a theatre of war or people who are bi polar are headcases we'd be criticized severely.

Trump has turned the world against the US. This will not end well for him & the GOP. His trade secretary today actually laughed at Canada's announced trade sanctions against the US saying they are puny. But once you add up the Mexican, ourselves & the EU sanctions the US will be hurt badly. Trump did this to please his rust belt state base.

That game tonight was brutal. Montreal looks to be everything we thought they would be. BAD! How can Reed not bring in any qbs? These are guys who all failed last year. S[pends a ton of money on Muamba & literally pennies on his qbs. Go figure.

Agree on both.

Booch, when my son played at SFU his final season he developed what could have become a very serious health issue. For obvious reasons, I'm not going to get into what it was as that is personal but it was serious. All I know is because of the NCAA's stupid list of banned substances, his doctor had to go through that list & pick a treatment based on what would be safe from suspension not what was best for his health. As a result, he never felt very well from a health perspective his entire senior year. He had a much better junior year as a player than as a senior. I'm sure not feeling well had a lot to do with it although to his credit he never used that as an excuse. He'd have applied for an exemption from that banned NCAA list for health reasons but the steps it would have taken weren't worth it as the NCAA could have ended up denying his request. Then if he had some of those banned substances in his system he may have been suspended if he was randomly tested which I think would have happened. So, he & his doctor along with the team physician came up with a treatment that wasn't ideal but it was the best that could be done under the circumstances using drugs that weren't banned. I felt that the NCAA put my son's long term health at risk with their holier than thou rules. The NCAA are run by bureaucratic morons putting players health at risk. As soon as he finished playing he went on the meds he should have been on in the first place & felt a lot better.

Carter at #2. Nichols at #20 (not an elite qb according to Edwards). Manziel at #40 despite never playing a single down in the CFL.

Just an aside, anyone see Drew Edwards Top 40 Players? I did & it is a joke. It isn't up on 3 Down Nation which I find interesting. Wait till you see who he has at #2, #20 & at #40. His credibility just flew out the window.

It was over a decade ago. Here in Alberta. Private oil companies & the provincial government said no.

Ten years ago the debate raged in Alberta about how it wasn't feasible to build upgraders & refineries in Alberta. That it made more economic sense to ship bitumin by pipeline in its raw form to be refined on the Gulf Coast or Chicago as it made more financial sense to do so. No oil company would build a refinery in Alberta because of the huge construction cost & the regulatory hurdles to overcome. Provincial governments in SK & AB didn't want to get involved. Even back then, it was difficult to get a refinery built after the oil companies began closing them down in the early 80's. So 17to85 was right. They weren't & still aren't excuses, it is reality. Looking back, does the oil industry in Alberta wish that they would have built even one new refinery after what has happened since Trudeau was elected PM. I'm sure they do but it's too late now.

What a gig. Green leader for life.

Nuclear energy would really bring out the nutbars. Some of these eco-terrorists would take us back to the pre-Industrial Revolution time period if they could. Indeed, some of these nuts believe in culling the human race to under a billion people worldwide. How do you even hold a conversation or discussion with someone like that? You don't. They would never listen.

It would take a decade to build a single refinery with the regulatory process. Then there's the interveners & politicians like Horgan who would against it. The eco environmental terrorists who would wreak havoc all backed by millions of American dollars in US organizations like Tides Canada. The same thing that happened with KMX would happen with a refinery. So, Horgan can say it's not the pipeline he objects to but the heavy oil bitumen. However, he's lying. He'd be against a refinery in the Lower Mainland. He would be against anything related to oil in BC.

Everybody has the right but it's a waste of taxpayer's money. Money that could be directed into social programs, health, infrastructure & education in BC is being thrown away to pay lawyers. You okay with that? Horgan has an unlimited amount of $$$ he can use but it isn't his. It's the taxpayers money not that it ever stopped politicians before. As far as Scott Moe goes in SK regarding his carbon tax fight with the feds, he'll lose as well. The difference is one is a national infrastructure program that got federal approval by the NEB to build a pipeline. The other is a province wanting to not have a carbon tax imposed on them by Ottawa. You can't compare the two. No province in Canadian history has ever opposed a federally approved infrastructure program before.

Watch, SNC Lavalin will run this project for the Libs & money will go back to Quebec. They killed Energy East & Quebec will still get it's share & more. Trudeau & Morneau will see to that.

Frosty, you really need to be a lot more informed before you say something like this. BC does not have the right. The pipeline is federal jurisdiction not provincial. It has been approved. There have been 17 separate court cases trying to assert aboriginal as well as provincial rights to stop the pipeline & they have lost every one.

Horgan dragged the rest of the country in & now we are on the hook for a minimum of $4.5 billion & probably a lot more. This was approved by the NEB & it went through a vigorous regulatory process. And the guy says he'll continue to waste BC taxpayers money with more ridiculous court cases. I'd love it if he & his province were faced with the spectre of having to pay back the $4.5 billion or more if they lost another court case. Then, you'd see him back off real fast. But things don't happen like that, I guess.

Agree.

Regarding the qb depth of the RedBlacks behind Harris. The same could be said for the Bombers. It's alarming to think who may take the reigns if Nichols goes down. However, I'm not pointing fingers at Walters as he was blindsided by Durant 2 weeks ago. The situation we're in because of Durant wasn't our GM's fault. It certainly tells you about the character of DD, doesn't it? However, that being said... we all have to be concerned what would happen if Nichols suffered a serious injury. We're no better off than Ottawa.

Rider fans loved Hurl the first time. They're really going to love him now after Muamba.

The average fan wants to be entertained. Only hardcore fans would appreciate it. The others don't know what is going on & would switch off after a few minutes.

The only problem is if he went down it would wreak havoc with ratio. Not many Canadians can play to the level of Muamba. That's why you get someone like Hurl playing Mac. With an American it's much easier to find a replacement & not mess with the ratio. So, Muamba may be a ratio breaker either way.

Initially we were all upset with Muamba doing what he did but I'd take Bighill over him without question.

Crompton is back in Alabama doing private qb coaching of HS players.

Reed is an asshat. He just couldn't leave it alone & let the guy walk away with what was left of his dignity. There really was no reason to do that.
