it's not a play on words, it's misuse of the language that have become commonly accepted because people care more about exaggerating than actually putting in some effort into creating more meaningful statements. A lot of your criticisms of the commissioner come across as simply "I don't like the look of the guy so therefore I don't like any of it" Give the guy a chance before we cast judgement. I mean the concussion statements are done for legal reasons no other so it's worthless to even judge him on that, I dunno what all went on with the drug testing but come on, the CFL has been a joke with drug testing long before he came along.

No I think he's dangerous because he is too free market and government out of everything. Government does need to maintain some over sight otherwise the corporations just have free reign to fuck everyone over. Same reason Kevin O'Leary is dangerous, except I can understand why O'Leary is the way he is, he wants to be the guy fucking everyone over and making money doing it.

They've been doing that since Bush Jr got in the first time.

Seriously?

reading is your friend, he said UNLESS

hey in his world 12 wins is a down season for the Riders, Pederson there is showing a lack of faith in the regime.

too bad the Conservatives are running a collection of horrible candidates. But really this Liberal government is governing pretty much exactly like they have in the past which as we've seen is good enough to keep getting elected many times. Both the NDP and Conservatives are in a precarious position with their leadership and it will take them a while to rebuild to the point where they can threaten the Liberals. The Liberals simply avoid fucking up too badly they'll win the next election handily.

Not without a referendum he shouldn't. Honestly I don't know why people even believed him when he promised that, it was clearly something they promised only to motivate a certain segment to vote for them.

Can we just simplify them and call them Jam-man and Jab-man? It's a new superhero duo

At what point does Affleck just throw a bone to his old pal and known comic book geek Kevin Smith? I mean you don't even have to let Smith write the whole thing but at least the man will keep them from going too far off the rails in regards to the characters. Just don't let him direct.

but the suits keep thinking it's a gold mine waiting to happen so they keep doubling down on their stupidity. It's kind of funny to watch truthfully.

I suspect that this year the Argos will basically know that it's a write off and just get a place holder until they can do a proper search next season. At least that's what would be smart if you ask me. How do you bring everything together this close to the season when you can't pick people from other teams? Take a knee this year and make next year their focus.

which is why you are losing sight of the argument at hand. We're not talking specifically about success here, we're talking about doing things right which is part of the process of getting to success. Which is why the "if you're not first you're last" mentality that some here are displaying is bullshit.

yeah cause no one ever comes back from a start like 2-5 right? The point is if you fire a proven guy like Dave Ritchie you don't put a ***** like Jim Daley in place, you get someone better in. That's how you build, firing someone decent and putting in a worse option just sets you back years. Really the team got into problems post Ritchie and Berrys time was essentially .500 give or take a few wins which considering they were supposed to be repairing that hole they were in seems like they were doing something right, now going on from that to a moron who took an axe to the teams roster and left a smoking crater set the team back even further and it's only just now that the damage is seemingly repaired to the point where a couple key injuries don't torpedo the team. That tells me that the Walters and O'Shea regime has been doing things right even if the results weren't manifesting itself until this past season. You are trying to make this black and white but not looking at the context of why records were or weren't better than .500. Context always matters.

but again better than .500 is an arbitrary number as well and doesn't tell the whole story. For example, Doug Berrys first season isn't in your list of .500 or better seasons but they did things right that year. The Bombers problems stem from the fact that they would often make a mistake and then double down by making an even bigger mistake following it. For example, firing Ritchie was premature, going with Jim Daley immediately after was an even bigger mistake that set things back. Firing Berry was premature but hiring Mike Kelly immeidately afterwards was an even bigger mistake and set things back more. you see the point. But they did some things correctly and just didn't win as well.

the point being that it wasn't all bad, some was good, the wheels just came off quickly. The benchmark of Grey Cup or you did things wrong is what is bullshit.

fans of the team he's playing for

This explains why the Ringling Brothers Circus is closing, they realized they just can't compete with the Riders.

how can people interpret the title as anything other than being a reference to Luke? He is clearly the last Jedi, doesn't mean there's going to be no more ever, just that at this point in the story he's the last one. You spend the entirety of The Force Awakens looking for Luke and then he gets his 15 seconds of screen time at the end as the conclusion to the film, yeah it's about him in the next episode.

I've got some ocean front property I'd like to sell you...

Hahaha Kevin Glenn is your plan A, oh man that is too rich. Durant not good enough, get me Kevin Glenn! **** what a tool Jones is.

that's exactly it. I mean I get why people who are not at their computer during the game may want to go back and read play by play thoughts as it were but I seldom ventured into game day threads cause cause they were hard to read but the chat is great for talking about the game while it's ongoing

I like the chat room on game days for sure. Game day threads are so lame

Rider fans are all ******* so it really doesn't matter which one you are talking to specifically, they're all going to say the same stupid ****.

MURPH!!!!!!!
