When I weighed 315 lbs & lost 120 lbs after & got down to 195 lbs . I know what shaming & teasing is all about. I lost the weight over a 1 1/2 year period from 2010 thru 2011. I kept the weight off for 4 years & thought I had my weight problems licked until I had to have foot surgery in July of 2015 & developed a serious post op infection with the titanium hardware that was inserted to reconstruct & fuse the bones in my right foot that had deformed because of arthritis. Without going into sordid details, a four month recovery turned into a painful 18 month ordeal of which 10 months was spent absolutely bedridden unable to walk. As well as 3 extended trips to the hospital when my foot infection raged out of control & I needed treatment badly. It took me another 8 months to be able to walk again so I could return to work. I gained a ton of weight back during those 18 months when I was bedridden & sedentary as now I'm disabled . For the first 6 weeks or so after surgery I went on a low cal diet to keep my weight down. But as time went on & the infection set in & being confined to bed then I became depressed & started to eat again. The weight came back. I now use a cane but can't walk very far, stand for more than a couple of minutes or do any physical activity anymore. It's a struggle to get back to where I was before my surgery at 215 lbs when I was active & could move. I weigh 273 lbs now. I am planning on getting on a healthier diet & head back to the gym in the next couple of weeks & start out lightly on the cardio equipment to see what I can & can't do. I am self conscious as all the guys I lifted with haven't seen me in 3 years & I know the reaction I'll get from some of them will be, "WTF happened to you???" I made some of the same mistakes Bob Wylie did & over the years my weight just kept creeping up. It took 25 years to get to that point. I went from 185 lbs at age 30 in 1985 to where I was 315 in 2010 & took action. It's a huge disappointment that I have to start over again but my comfort is I did it once so I can do it again. People were always making comments about my weight before I lost it. Some were trying to be funny while others were assholes. I know what it feels like to be shamed or laughed at & I never liked it. Trust me, when I say Bob Wylie has probably reached a point in his life where he thinks he can't change so it's a lost cause. We're about the same age. Been there. Felt that.

Nah, Reilly turned into an IRA Bomber that second quarter throwing bombs everywhere. He was crazy. That fumble by Gable (who I have never liked) just took the wind out of their sails at the start of the second half. They never recovered after that. Crazy as that is. Their D secondary is a cluster....

can't have enough depth on the OL. Absolutely go after him.

Okay Landon Rice. As if you didn't know... LOL.

Our secondary is marginally better. If that.

Thanks Hamilton. Special mention to Mike Benevides & his defense for the Ti Cat win.

Wow, Edmonton you suck.

That Esk secondary may even be worse than ours.

A tall, white guy playing boundary receiver. Gotta be a Canadian. Some of these guys get to play even though they're crap. Meanwhile we have a Canadian receiver who can play & he sits while Lankford who is a crap American plays.

Cut Jones. Keep Tasker. He may have a future in this league.

Masoli had all kinds of room to run but throws incomplete.

Hits an upright then hits an 84 yard pass & run. The Cats offensively are schizoids.

Hamilton Holy ****... Masoli.

Progressives want to tax us for using our cars, trucks, recreational vehicles, boats, snowmobiles, long haul trucking, factories, greenhouses, farming, as in heating barns in winter, growing crops, raising livestock, buying clothes, turning on the lights in our homes, schools & businesses, heating & cooling our homes. Who suffers? Low income Canadians or seniors on fixed incomes. Nah, done with Notley in Alberta. I'd like to be done with Trudeau as well but after today probably not.

Every qb is taught how to evade the rush or they wouldn't be playing at this level.

With all the issues this league faces, letting players celebrate using props is #1 priority???

Esks O has cooled down. That gable fumble seemed to take the wind out of their sails.

Expect it to get a lot worse. Why wouldn't this be discussed in the off season with the Rules Committee? Ambrosie just changed it mid season which I don't think is right.

Never been a Gable fan.

They checked & he wasn't.

Reilly & his receivers are absolutely KILLING The Ti Cats. They are being woefully outplayed.

Notley is one & done. The Progressive experiment is nearly over. Her shutting down coal fired electrical generators which will push up our electricity prices in the next few years as well as the dishonest carbon tax did it for me. OUT!!!

I have to wonder how Dunigan & Barker get along on the panel. The Stamps fired Barker 3 days before Xmas in 2003. They hired Dunigan the next day. If they both have any animosity they sure don't show it.

Concert series a wonderful addition, Kate? No. Brodie Lawson? Yes.

Reilly is not a mobile qb as he has had knee & leg injuries. He can evade the rush or roll out but he seldom takes off for a lot of yards downfield. He throws from the pocket. And you can't compare their receivers to ours. The Esks are light years ahead.
