I disagree on the "climate change" comment, as too often now it is confused with "man-made climate change" which is different from natural climate change, which occurs constantly, thanks to changes in amounts of radiation and energy we receive from the sun. Too often now people say "climate change" without understanding that there is a big difference, one is observable - the natural one - and one is still an unproven hypothesis (man-made).

Bob Wylie to be new O-Line coach - Confirmed
kelownabomberfan replied to Mr. Perfect's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Wylie and Willy - a match made in pun heaven. -
There is no lawsuit that can win because someone said something on the internet. That's what free speech is there to protect. Now they could I suppose depending on what was said go in front of one of those unconstituational human rights commissions but those are a whole different discussion that is probably best left alone cause it'll get more than a few people riled up. Libel laws still apply to internet postings. And there are limits to what is protected with respect to Freedom of Expression in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Free speech on a message board is a myth - you give it up when you agree to the terms of service that lets the board owner(s) and their appointees edit or remove your posts. In a court of law the truth can be used as a defence. So if what you are saying is offensive, it still is legal as long as it is true. In the Kangaroo Court of our "Human Right" commissions, the truth can't be used as a defence. Nothing applies to help the defendant in those things, you are basically guilty when you walk in the door and the process is the punishment. There is an interesting case of libel going on in the US right now - several publications and bloggers have called Michael Mann's global warming "science" into question, and instead of providing evidence to satisfy them, he is suing them instead for libel. This is what is known as a SLAPP lawsuit. In any event, in order to win his case, Mann will now have to prove that his work showing his hockey stick of global warming was in fact accurate and his data is solid. In all these years since his "hockey stick" projections of global warming went public, he has never released his data. If he does in fact do it, and the defendants prove they were right all along about Mann's work, the entire global warming industry might crumble, which it should, given it appears to be built on sand anyway.

Bombers sign QB Robert Marve (unannounced)
kelownabomberfan replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
with a bum knee and cannon arm he could be a Dieter Brock clone, which means all we have to do is trade him to Hamilton and the cup is ours. -
Bombers sign QB Robert Marve (unannounced)
kelownabomberfan replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Is that similar to championship Austria or Romania? Nope... it's quite close to Championship Turkey, Championship Greece and Championship Norway. Wait, are we talking about potential places that flight MH370 landed now? -
Please Read: Message From The Moderation Team
kelownabomberfan replied to Rich's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
This thread is dumb.....LOL. Just kidding. Keep up the great work guys. Really appreciate the anti-Shankman moderation style. That guy just showed how one bad moderator can destroy an entire website. -
The only things changing the o-line now that I can see: 1) Draft day we get Lavertu so now we at least have a center to develop 2) Swiston and Pencer pick it up in camp and legitimately push for starting positions, including a tackle spot 3) We bring in a decent Oline coach who can develop our young guys properly. I've seen only regression in our O-line while other teams seem to be able to develop young guys into bonafide starters. This has to change.

Why does everyone forget this game???? This was the worst game I went to in Winnipeg. 3 minutes into the 2nd half, I went to the store, then walked to my car. Nov 2, Hamilton 37, Wpg 7 Name Comp Att Yards TD Int HALL, M 18 35 160 0 1 The whole team had given up by that point. It was a nothing game and everyone played like it.

Argo released Khalif Mitchell
kelownabomberfan replied to M.O.A.B.'s topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I still don't get if it was his dream to play in the NFL why he didn't go in 2012? Why did he re-sign with BC? -
Argo released Khalif Mitchell
kelownabomberfan replied to M.O.A.B.'s topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I'd like to see the NFL acknowledge the CFL for what it is, a farm system for them, and start pumping some real bucks into this league so that it can pay guys enough that they don't have to decide between staying at the school they are teaching at or the job stocking shelves instead of playing. I really want to see the CFL players paid more, it always bugs me how they are sacrificing their bodies for such small pay. -

kelownabomberfan replied to M.O.A.B.'s topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
why the hell didn't this lunatic go to the US two years ago rather than re-signing with BC? That was just nuts! He had his window, he was 27, and he blew it. But whatever. The guy is a whacko. -
You mean like 1962?

I want to talk about something that really grinds my gears
kelownabomberfan replied to Mike's topic in General Discussion
Simple solution: onion rings I ordered the onion rings a few weeks ago at A&W through the drive-thru and I get home and there's five onion rings in the bag. That's it. I'm never going back there again. We've got Carl's Jr, Five Guys and Fatburger here now, lots of good burger joints to choose from. Five Guys is definitely my favorite, their burgers and fries are miles ahead. -
Kevin Glenn has requested a trade
kelownabomberfan replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Why would he do that? Better to just keep collecting a paycheque and waiting for a trade, while you hock cruellers and coffee to people in Detroit who have no idea who Tim Hortons is. Tim Horton. Most Canadians don't even know who Tim Horton the hockey player was, other than people over the age of 50 who saw him play. I am talking about "Tim Hortons", the doughnut franchise of which Kevin Glenn owns several in the Detroit area. -

According to reports, Mack was hired a few months ago to be Putin's general manager for Ukrainian relations. When asked about his thoughts on the Crimea by a reporter, apparently Mack responded "I have no idea where that is". -

Another scenario : we don't get Glenn, Willy goes down in week 4, and now we are riding the Hall/Brohm train to another 4-14 season. With Glenn in the bullpen, we are like Calgary the past few years, we don't miss a beat if our number one goes down. I haven't seen that in Winnipeg since the Clements - Huffer era.
