  1. TSN just sucks. It'll be Suitor talking about Duron Carter all. night. long.
  2. Are you tired about being preached to about immigration & diversity?
  3. The Stamps are the worst 13-1-1 team I've ever seen.
  4. Those Riders are cocky assholes. TJust like when Chamblin & Barrett were HC's that team can't win with class. Just total d bags.
  5. He's from Transcona. It's their fault.
  6. Glenn should retire.
  7. You know , he'll be doing the Bomber game.
  8. Remember when TSN used to give us live stats as in how many yards a receiver, running back or qb had during the game? They used to show us team sacks. It's like they've dumbed down the brodacasts.
  9. LOL!!! That is hilarious. Actually it's sad.
  10. Duron Carter is the GM. He just traded himself for himself.
  11. If he was released & cleared waivers it would be too late for Bighill to help the Lions this season.
  12. GMs are interested in a lot of players. They don't sign everyone. It's going to be very difficult to prove. I think Kaepernick (based on his play) was already on his way to being a backup at best. Maybe even on his way out of the NFL.
  13. WTH in Regina? Are these guys finished? What about the coach who instigated it?
  14. Well, it happened to me in 1992. I was an insurance adjuster for a huge company in Calgary. Matter of fact that is why I moved to Calgary from Winnipeg to work for this company. Unfortunately, I went from a great supervisor in Winnipeg who was like a mentor to me to an absolute witch as a supervisor in Calgary. I had a personality conflict with my supervisor that went on for almost 3 years. I'll never forget I went on holidays for 2 weeks my last year with that company & when I came back she didn't talk to me for an entire day & a half only to say hello once & we all worked in groups. She just froze me out. It became unbearable to work there in the end. During my last performance review which wasn't good, I told her the problem had a lot to do with how she treated me & the stress I was under dealing with it. She got angry & said the review was about me & not her & I disagreed strongly. I was fired 2 months later & even though I had years of experience as an auto, property & independent adjuster I couldn't get another job in Calgary. I sent out tons of resumes over the next year & a half, had a lot of interviews. I became so desperate in the end that I warned potential employees about what happened at my previous company with my supervisor as I wanted to be upfront about it. Didn't do any good as I was always second choice. I knew that it was my former employer bad mouthing me but there was nothing I could do. It was blatantly unfair but I couldn't do a thing about it. I spoke to a lawyer about it & if I launched legal action it would mean spending money I didn't have at the time. Cost me my career so I sympathize with Kaepernick but it doesn't change my opinion that he brought all this on himself. Yes, I considered it collusion as well.
  15. Filing a grievance means Kaepernick still wants to play. Like I said, I don't disagree with him protesting but his actions brought everything upon himself. I have a feeling if he could do it over he probably wouldn't now. He has to be prepared to suffer the consequences of that decision. It'll cost him his career. I have every right to protest at work over something I don't like until they fire me. It'll cost me my career especially if my former employer refuses to give me a positive job reference. Is it collusion if I can't get a job in the same industry if my former employer says I'm a trouble maker at work or my job performance was inadequate? How is this different?
  16. How many players on NFL teams are going along with these anthem protests because they feel they have to & not because they want to? It would be interesting to find out. I think more than we believe.
  17. Lots of angry fans. Say the Packers sign him & the GM & Mike McCarthy ask him not to kneel & he refuses. There goes the locker room for the head coach & mgmt. Then if he stands, he's sold out. If he kneels he's a traitor. No one wins. That's why he isn't signed.
  18. If NFL GMs are afraid to sign him due to negative reaction is that collusion? Be hard to prove unless there are smoking guns somewhere like emails & texts. I have no problem with him kneeling but he started it listening to a former Marine when he probably shouldn't have telling him to do it so whatever the consequences it had on his career, it's on Kaepernick. had he done it for one or 2 games he would have made his point. He should have concentrated on playing football but he chose not to. He's made his millions so it's hard to feel sorry for him. It's not like he's on the street homeless. He's an unemployed multi millionaire.
  19. It would have been interesting if they had used Garth as the Captain of the Discovery as we would have known that he was a decorated Star Fleet Captain who would soon descend into madness in the coming years. Might have added even more of an edge to the character. I wonder if we'll ever see (even if it's just a brief scene or two) a young Ensign or Lieutenant Kirk serving in Star Fleet?
  20. After the second Discovery episode where Captain Lorca was introduced to us some here speculated he may have been Lord Garth. Lorca is not Lord Garth.
  21. Lord Garth's real name was Captain Kelvar Leonard Garth although it's not mentioned in the link below. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Garth_of_Izar
  22. Talk about a huge distraction by any team that signed him. He may have been on his way out as a qb in the NFL anyway.
  23. Based on everything we know & now the grievance against the NFL, would you sign him if you were a GM? There would be a lot of upset fans of that team & he'd divide the locker room. Hate to say this, but he brought this on himself by becoming political. He was a borderline starter at the time. Doing what he did has killed his career.
  24. The Captain who went insane & called himself Lord Garth was told by Kirk that he was a legend when he was at Starfleet Academy so I was surprised he wasn't on that list. Even though he became a sadistic murderer Kirk still respected him. Then upon further thought, Discovery is set a decade before Kirk's encounter with Garth so his exploits may not have occurred yet so who knows?
  25. Rum, vodka or whiskey. It's booze. That's all I care about.
