  1. Well we are all looking for cfl news but there is none.
  2. it's not a boogeyman, it's a thing that can happen if people aren't careful. You know what your problem is? For all you read about this subject you constantly demonstrate a real lack of actual understanding.
  3. Verging...? It's already there. at least in idiocracy they had a president who was willing to listen to the smartest person in the world.
  4. Yeah the wife and I made some plans to travel to Kelowna next month but we're not sure given the rise in cases there and in Alberta if that's gonna happen now. People just all assumed this **** was over and got careless and this is what happens.
  5. How is it ridiculous and dumb? The United States are turning into an authoritarian state right before everyones eyes and protests like this are a way to shine a light on that and hopefully get people to get off their asses and give a **** enough to do something about it. Or do you figure the protesters should just be good little citizens and sit meekly in their homes and stop whining? is that the real world to you that everyone else needs to join you in?
  6. How many teams the last few years jumped at the chance to sign someone like Kevin Glenn? I mean just cause we're in a soft spot for qbs in the league right now doesn't re-write history. I don't buy the Allen was just chasing money nonsense either. BC couldn't wait to bring in Dickenson because Allen left them wanting more despite winning a Grey Cup for them in 2000. No some people are just imaging this mystical figure because memories are fading and all that remains are numbers on a stat sheet, and for Damon Allen they're impressive totals, but they don't tell the whole story.
  7. Yeah a communal place like a hutterite colony is always going to be easy for the virus to spread.
  8. And **** the stamps. Like seriously to hell with the lot of em!
  9. And Damon Allen is a cfl legend. He's just not one of the best qbs this league has seen.
  10. Given all the reports that staff can't tell him the truth without him throwing a tantrum i believe that they have to give him phony charts which he believes to be true cause he ain't gonna read it anyway nor have the ability to interpret it anyway. When you insist on being the smartest guy in the room and rage about anything that contradicts what you want to believe this is what happens.
  11. Useless argument and players are ******* for using it too. It's the canadian football league, of course you are getting paid in Canadian dollars to play in Canada. You want to get paid in American dollars the number on the contract will be smaller to start with.
  12. you criticize a guy for one argument and the use your one argument to disprove it... Also you are taking this over rated comment too seriously and imagining it to be something it's not. If Damon Allen really was this elite qb why were teams always looking to move on from him and upgrade? Seriously he was good but not great for a long long time. He did have playoff success which is a huge feather in his cap, but it doesn't make him one of the greatest. You act like the multiple team thing is a mark in his favour but all it does is prove the point that he was over rated.
  13. You just picked the one year Allen legit had any kind of really notable season... seriously one year. Given your user name i have no doubts you're just pumping the tires of everyone who came through those Edmonton teams, but i am right about Damon Allen. There is no shame in it. Guy still has a well earned status in this league because of his longevity, but he ain't one of the top qbs to come through this league. Not by a long shot.
  14. Honestly the only reason I don't take Glenn over Allen is the fact that Glenn's post season record is so poor. That's the only real difference between the two of them. Decent qbs but glenn had that mental block in the playoffs.
  15. See i don't hate Allen at all. I just think he is over rated. I would take Calvillo over Allen any day and twice on Sundays.... Allen was never a guy who would be my first choice at qb in any era he played in. That he played a long time and piled up a lot of stats over that time doesn't change that fact.
  16. Allen wasn't dominant either. He wasn't a shrinking violet in big games and that is too his credit but damon Allen was never the best qb in the league. He was just ok but played forever.
  17. every play is a spin in the backfield and short pass?
  18. Some do, Madan does not. He presents his own opinion as fact far too often. That he's worked in the cfl means very little. Just another self important media type.
  19. Madani is arrogant and thinks very highly of his own opinions.
  20. I said nothing of masks... I said wash your hands and no face touching. To be honest I think the recirculated air is the ast thing to be concerned with. Common touch points are big, people breathing heavy in your personal space, that kind of thing. But hey if people wear a mask working out that's fine. I see guys do hard physical labour in full face respirators all the time so why not go to the gym?
  21. And I mean if a guy goes to the gym and doesn't touch his face and washes his hands no problem right? But the people who don't do those things are the ones that ruin it for everything. And I believe it is mostly classes causing problems, so likely people in too close contact.
  22. Yeah lots of people acting like it's all over. Would not be surprised to see Nenshi make masks mandatory in Calgary since Kenney can't do anything of value. I'd bet that gyms will be closing again too since there are some outbreaks linked to fitness classes.
  23. Yeah communion is about the worst idea during a pandemic. Like I understand the importance of it, but cripes people it is all the do not dos of a pandemic.
  24. Yeah surgeons don't wear the masks for germ reasons, the masks are to prevent splash back into their mouth predominantly.
