  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. every play is a spin in the backfield and short pass?
  9. 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.
  10. Madani is arrogant and thinks very highly of his own opinions.
  11. 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?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Yeah surgeons don't wear the masks for germ reasons, the masks are to prevent splash back into their mouth predominantly.
  16. Played for about a million years... I mean Kevin glenn is up there on all time lists because of longevity but no one is calling him one of the top ever.
  17. I can't even call it farcical. It's just down right evil! Like don't listen to the people who understand this, your feelings are more valid that people who dedicate their lives to researching these things. Honestly they should be on trial for **** like that, but in today's USA it's just part of the new reality. Anti-intellectualism is just a complete travesty.
  18. This ******* clown...
  19. Hey I am just saying it's rarely a systemic issue and more of a people in charge issue. People are naturally greedy fucks and will use any kind of framework to further their greedy, power hungry ways. Which is where the whole point of being praggmatic and trying to do what's best for everyone comes in.
  20. Never mind that it's well established that the people instigating violence are either the police themselves or alt-right groups trying to make the"left" look bad.
  21. Explain how...
  22. If you don't believe that "Capitalists" want to remake society in their own image then you've never read about their game plan. It's no secret, they don't hide. Attack the homosexuals, attack all non evangelic Christian religion, attack anything they don't consider 'normal, divide people and conquer. How about we stop trying to label everyone and paint them all as bad? Why don't we look at the big picture and recognize what is good for society as a whole? Marxism isn't all bad, yeah people have done shitty things in the name ofjit, but people have done horrible things for capitalism too and it's not all good. People need to be less beholden to their beliefs and more open minded and pragmatic.
  23. I hate cancel culture as a term. You know what the single biggest flaw in your argument is? It's that you think a name change is meaningless. That's just wrong. It is not meaningless. Yes it won't wrong any past rights or really change the way people are treated... but it is a gesture that says "yes I understand that this is a phrase that is hurtful to some people and therefore I will change it so they don't get offended" It's about tolerance and not a "**** you suck it up" attitude.
