  1. I keep saying it, winnipeg and it's fans are completely taken for granted across the league. That's why 2019 was so sweet and why 2021 will be every bit as sweet. **** em all.
  2. The reality is winnipeg went through coaches and gas like nothing at that point. Why would players want to go to a place with less than 0 stability?
  3. No what I am saying is these people use a broad brush to paint whichever entity they distrust because of one segment of it.
  4. Ok, but a lot of those trust issues with government, big pharma, etc are the same broad brush thing you caution against. It's that same lack of critical thinking and lack of an ability to parse through multi-layered issues... in short it is about people not being smart enough to understand but pretending they are anyway. I have one co-worker who was unvaccinated (she may be vaxed now since nearly all of our clients are requiring it) and I can remember talking to her last February about vaccines. Now I should mention she's got an applied science degree so clearly smart enough for that... but the ignorance she was spouting was staggering and it was based mostly on crap information her dumbass bartender boyfriend told her. This is what happens. People don't think they just believe whatever they want to feel.
  5. It's true except that lapo does like to have some deep shots in his game plan so that could be an issue. Honestly the best coordinator for faj was probably mcadoo. He really did what he could to work with the roster limitations. Rider fans disagreed when I told them Maas would be a downgrade
  6. Yeah Glenn's biggest flaw was that he sometimes failed to live up to the moment.
  7. This idea that there are facts supporting both sides is simply put incorrect. Oh sure you can find people saying what you want to hear, but that doesn't make what they are saying facts or even correct. A level of understanding is required to parse through what is legit and what isn't. Sadly a lot of people are incapable of doing so, which is when they should be listening to the experts who do have that ability. That doesn't happen though, instead people go "well I saw this and it's what I want to believe so facts" It is a real problem in our society right now.
  8. you know what has a higher risk of myocarditis than vaccines? Covid. I mean I get being hesitant because of things like that... but why is one risk OK but the other not?
  9. How do you have respectful dialogue when people reject facts in favour of feelings?
  10. They showed plenty of angles on tsn with the ball touching the ground. Even suitor reluctantly backtracked on his initial "of course it's a catch!" Reaction
  11. Yeah Glenn had a real solid and dare I say underrated arm. Faj has a limp noodle.
  12. Pffft what do the ucp know about saving money?
  13. Yeah as a management type in the cfl you gotta be above that crap.
  14. One of the most bizarre things I see is people making a connection that vaccines aren't effective because we need boosters... like seriously? We get multiple doses of pretty much every vaccine! My kids get like 3 rounds of shots by the time they're a year old! There are a lot of people out there that say things that "seem to make sense" problem is that it doesn't actually make sense scientifically. Trust the vast majority of experts on this stuff not the crackpots. Vaccines work and they work damned well. Yes variants might mean we need annual boosters not unlike a flu shot... but covid vaccines are many times more effective than flu shots and it is such a nothing needle I don't know why people are so opposed to them.
  15. I still think Neufeld is the weakest link on the OL.
  16. Plus Neufeld was a total bandaid at that point. Always hurt. Rent free.
  17. Was just going to post that picture
  18. The league has said that players must travel with their teams. So the entire team would have to bus it.
  19. The feds say otherwise so that's what it is
  20. Hey I typed it right, the ducking autocorrect must have got me.
  21. Kylie Wilson, among the most under rated players in the league. He and Stove get no respect. He played the first game, was hurt after that
  22. But by not making the proper call you also determine the outcome because if they rule it correctly it's bomber ball. ***** officiating and it drives me nuts. Call it like it is because it's the integrity of the game at stake.
  23. Takes a special kind of ******* to engage in behavior like that. For the actions of those Hamilton fans I sincerely hope that the Bombers kick the ever loving crap out of the ti-can'ts.
  24. Yeah I guess I don't see streveler back in the cfl next season. And at that point there are other places where a starting gig might be available. Toronto? Cause MBT ain't so **** hot. Edmonton, BC possibly. Maybe calgary if blm is done and they **** around with Maier. Lapos system might be fine, but his play calling was detrimental to Streveler. Don't believe the lapo fanbois who think he made the NFL notice streveler. He was on the radar before and opted to play in the cfl rather than just go for tryouts and Minicamps. I ain't saying he won't sign in Ottawa, but it won't be for Lapo, it would be for an opportunity to start plain and simple.
