  1. I wonder - if Trump is getting bad advice or if he's just not listening to anyone? He's making changes at a rate that is unreasonable and unsustainable. The immigration ban, forcing Mexico to pay for his wall, while his VP is busy spouting off about abortion, etc. etc. etc. This all happened in their first week - they could at least give their country a little room to breathe. How many executive orders can he sign before they don't mean anything anymore?
  2. I saw that message too - but it's not what was originally announced.
  3. Cool article. I wonder how effectively they can measure variables. Such as: a defensive player making an outstanding play that does not usually get made. Or, a certain play is very effective but a certain opposing D is adept at stopping it, perhaps due to their skill set.
  4. That's what they tell me. As for knowing that they're good, let's just say they know their around a Sonic Wall, just to give you one example.
  5. QB pressure was not generated consistently this year - I think improving the DL should be the bigger priority.
  6. They also work far harder than many of us realize. I was talking to Kelly Block when I got a chance to spend a week at Parliament. She gets up at 4:00 Monday morning to drive to Regina, to fly to Toronto, to fly to Ottawa
  7. "Try and solidify a spot" therein lies the problem. This is a QB driven league.
  8. I work in the school system. Some very good tech guys come to work for school divisions due to fatigue from the cutthroat, demanding nature of the private sector.
  9. Oil is not sustainable, environmentally or economically. The oil sands are one of the most expensive oil sources in the world.
  10. Well - the clown wasn't supposed to win...
  11. Considering they play in a QB driven league, I hope you're wrong. If they cut Glenn it should be because they have confidence in Davis as the #2 guy - if that then gives them more cap room, it's just a bonus. If history hasn't taught them not to roll the dice on their #1 QB started staying healthy, then I don't know what will. Again, I hope you're wrong.
  12. That's where fundamentalism runs into a dead end
  13. The only reason to keep reading the Sun is now gone
  14. I mean the people who voted for them because of their religious beliefs. White Christians feel under represented and they think Trump will do something about that.
  15. No surprises here. Many Trump supporters are white Christians, many of them living in small towns or rural areas. All the other numbers are pretty balanced. That's why he won the mid-west by a huge margin, so huge that California didn't even matter
  16. Except that Trump isn't going to do anything different for the right wing white vote. I'm baffled by people who are satisfied with lip service. Trump will do no more to accommodate their personal beliefs than Obama did. The United States, and all other countries, needs to get past the idea that any leader will somehow accommodate their personal beliefs. Trump played the game and got himself elected. His VP is a guy who makes clips about 'grace before dinner and church on Sunday' that got them millions of votes in the mid-west. They will do nothing for the people who voted for them because of that, but so many of them blindly believe they will.
  17. Yes, but the salary cap would contain that to a certain extent.
  18. Name an American OL who was better than Bond, Foketi, or Hardrick.
  19. We're clearly not worthy...
  20. A DB like Hightower who can give you press coverage without drawing flags...
  21. Which is ironic - because that is the exact strategy with which Obama won his second term.
  22. Not at all - just stating that other RB's were / are better as receivers - Harris is just one example We had a good OL from 2006 - 2008, especially 2007. There were other players who were vital cogs of the offense over the years, Milt and Blink were more long term while some of the others moved on.
  23. Sounds like you could spend hours on YouTube. I watched the 13th green man just last night...
  24. Blink was not the greatest pass catcher out of the backfield - both numbers and observation have shown that over the years Fantastic rusher but receiving was not his forte
  25. Defending the indefensible.
