I agree. It's been a bone of contention with me for a long time. I hate seeing guys languishing on NFL practice rosters making more than stars in the CFL. It's just not right. I wish the NFL would wake up to the development potential of the CFL and dump several mil a year into this league ($1 million or more per team) and allow 75% to be spent on salaries and 25% on marketing. Time to bump up salaries big time. Guys shouldn't be retiring at 25 years old to run water companies. -
the word "refugee" has lost all meaning now. My mom and grandma came to Canada as refugees from Europe, because they were displaced by the Germans during the war and had no where else to go. But they came here legally. A lot of the "refugees" that are entering Canada it appears are coming from places in Africa that while are crappy, I admit, they aren't oppressed either. I get that they want a better life and I can't argue with that, but there are avenues to apply for citizenship legally. A lot of these people seem to be just exploiting public opinion and a weak prime minister to get around the system instead of going through the legal means to get a golden ticket into the country. At that point, why have a border at all? And I have no idea what people trying to enter a country illegally has to do with abortion. None whatsoever. Seems to be taking things a bit extreme.

The Bruins used Rick Flair. -
thanks. That was right after the 2015 election while the country was still in the throes of the love affair with the selfie king. Has there actually been evidence of scientists being unmuzzled? The whole scientist muzzling thing during the Harper years just stank like fake news. Especially when it went public that a Canadian scientist was getting death threats from enviro-nutbars for saying that Fukishima wasn't that big of a deal. Why wasn't he muzzled? Anyway, not a big fan of this Andrew Scheer move by the Conservatives, looks to me like a repeat of the Stanfield years in the 1970's - close but not quite good enough to unseat Trudeau.

Nichols wins games. That's all I care about. -
how could he deny that the climate is changing? It's always changing. Not sure what that is even about. As for the rest, as this was written by what is obviously an incredibly biased source, I don't give it much credibility, and file it with all of the anti-Harper fear-mongering and out-right lies that were spread about him prior to the 2011 and 2015 elections. How many muzzled scientists have we heard from recently BTW?

Rather use a Winnipeg example than a Hamilton/Rider guy. -
or the Trudeau years (first iteration). Yuck.

I think this was posted in the wrong thread? -
so you are saying that you planned and executed a coup on the Big Blue Booster Crew. Interesting....

We don't need to do this per the ratio, unless they are thinking Flanders takes the starting job from Harris? (Just kidding) -

A coup is when you over-throw the current president/leader and take over the country. That didn't happen here. To stay in the same metaphorical ballpark, MBB's creation would be akin to a bunch of people being sick and tired of their current country, leaving, and forming a new country, and then accepting immigrants like me who wanted a chance for a better life, free from moderator oppression. That's how I see it.

here's a question - where is Raydawg these days?

I have a strong feeling that there may be consequences from this move. -
My 4 year anniversary too. At least that's what my profile says, hope that's not "revisionist history", LOL. I guess we both got the same inbox at the same time and joined on the same day.

To be fair, this is how I classify most of Tburg's posts so at least he is staying in character.

ha yeah maybe that was how Bluto contacted me, via inbox on OB. I thought I was the only special flower...
-
all right - lot of Crown Royal over the brain pan since then. So how about this then? Shankman pissing me off to the extreme was the final nail in the OB coffin for me? Does that work for all of the nit-pickers out there?

Rock Carmichael - my alter ego when I am in Vegas. -
yeah he was

I think Bluto texted me, something along the lines of "check out a new alternative to OB". I was so angry at Shankman at the time I would have moved pretty much anywhere, even to Riderfans if enough other Bomber fans were also moving. Over-modding really killed that site, as well as a refusal to upgrade to new technology, in my view.
