Trying to stop illegal aliens is one thing, calling them all a bunch of drug lords and rapists is quite another though.

It's a piece of **** move to ***** about playing time to force your release. I understand he wants more money but it's still a ***** move. -

Ego.....massive egos believing that the whole world is hanging off their every word. The same thing that drives people into radio jobs. -
I agree. Mercer gives it both sides, when they deserve it, while those 22 Minutes boneheads are just plain idiots. It's lucky they have the CBC to call home to spread their leftist garbage. I am no Rob Ford fan but that complete psychopath leftist Mary Walsh was just plain awful when she dressed up as that warrior thing and harassed him at his house. I could only imagine the cries of outrage from the loony left if Ezra Levant dressed up in some warrior costume and harassed a nutbar like Linda McQuaig at her home. And yet he probably should, Ezra I mean! lol Although Ezra seems to be trying to keep a less-crazy profile lately. Reading some comments by NDP candidates and its pretty surprising how bigoted and anti-industry they can be. Im sure all the parties have some nutjob candidates but the NDP seem to attract anti-Isreal ones a lot. Perhaps Mulcair should offer to broker peace with ISIS and fly over there for an in-person meeting. What could possibly go wrong? I keep asking the NDP people I know (who are all pro-Hamas and hate Israel) how they are going to deal with the fact that Mulcair is pro-Israel, and all I get is either silence or "wait and see", which to me indicates that Mulcair's pro-Israel stance is just a ruse to try and get elected. I think this is what Mulcair is doing on a lot of fronts: convince us that his party isn't nuts, and then unleash the nuts after the election. After hearing what a dictator he is I can believe that he has all of these loons under an iron grip and won't let them go until post October 19th. Then look out. No the thing the dippers don't understand is that Mulcair is doing what you have to do in order to actually be electable in this country, he's dragging them kicking and screaming towards the centre. Like Harper when you have a party with such a lunatic fringe you have to put the clamps on them hard because here in Canada crap from the fringe of either side doesn't fly with most of the people. Should the NDP actually win there are going to be an awful lot of NDP supporters who are disappointed that Mulcair isn't way out in left field.

3rd Down Nation: Bomber Thoughts: Tor vs Wpg
17to85 replied to iso_55's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
if there was a play for guaranteed 5 yards you think that offensive coordinators wouldn't call it all the time? And you think defensive coordinators wouldn't find a way to defend it? Come on, these guys good or bad spend way more time looking at all sorts of film and what not than any fan does. It's always a give and take. offense does something that works, D learns how to take it away. The key is to make better and quicker adjustments than your opponents. -
You don't like how they act beat them. It's as simple as that.

He's trying to take it to the house every kick. Watch him he always tries to get outside, when he does get past the first wave he's always slowing down looking for that huge lane. I'd rather see him just catch the ball and run full speed ahead and get whatever you can. To me there's more chance of busting one doing that if your guys get their blocks than looking for the perfect hole.
-
Yep I doubt he's the only football player to have a relationship fall apart and be distressed about it.

I've been pleased with the improved play of the D. I give Hall a lot of credit for tweaking things and getting things to work better. Too many soft zones for my liking still but progress is progress. I'd also like to personally apologize to Westerman for ragging on him early in the year, dude is playing ******* great football right now. -
Marve looked past his first read a ton, I mean about 70% of his completed passes were scrambles. He struggles in the pocket, and that's what your seeing with the wobblers and bad accuracy. He needs to settle his lower body down when he throws in the pocket, on any throw he makes where he's not on the run. He's got a really frantic passing motion but it's entirely from his lower half, he's got a real nice arm action. Accuracy/time it takes to get there sucks because he's taking himself away from his target with the lower body movement when he should be finishing towards the target ideally. We can do without the chuck and duck bomb tosses and throws across his body on the run though. The sandlot stuff is good for a couple of exciting plays a game, but really not going to get anything done consistently. Also looked like Marve had a pretty bad bump/bruise/nick on his throwing hand for a good chunk of the 2nd half. All that said, the difference in the game was again a big special teams breakdown on a horribly placed punt by Hajrullahu. They showed him walking off the field on TV when it happened, he couldn't straighten his index finger out.
-
The final turnover I don't put too much stock into, that was a desperation play that didn't work because the Argos D started to blow up the Bombers OL in the 2nd half of the game, but the kick return was a huge mistake and the fumble on the next series was the dagger in the heart. This team needs to work on it's mental toughness and ability to rebound from errors.
-
but it's interesting, when I go back and read the book of his rants from 22 minutes, when the Liberals were entrenched in power, you'd swear that he was right leaning cause he ******* hated the Liberals back then. With him it's all about taking any party to task over things he doesn't like. the current 22 minutes gang are all NDP nuts. I suspect a majority of their writing staff are on Reddit cause they get a lot of material straight from there and Reddit is the most left leaning place out there. It's sickening to read the crap these kiddies actually believe.

Finally, a QB durable enough to play in an MB offence ...

I think I've seen better throws in my really rec flag football league... -
Who cares how bad the media hurts his feelings. As the leader of the country, he shouldn't be allowed to hide from questions he doesn't want to answer. It's not about hurting feelings, it's about the media twisting the message, so he said "fine, you want to put words in our mouths I'll make it impossible for that to happen and control the message with an iron fist"

Don't let the door hit you on the way out! -
the 25 year drought makes Bomber fans especially crazy there is no denying that. I'd say Bomber fans are the most impatient fans in the league. Rider fans are generally overly biased and cling to their support longer than most would but Bomber fans are quick to turn on under performers.

Lol that's like quoting the Sun on a Trudeau article. NYT openly leans to the left. you might want to look into that a little bit. New York Times was the number one cheerleader of the invasion of iraq. They actually had an editorial apology for their role in that invasion. pretty sure that is not one of the invasions lefties like. their main opinion writer is friedman, who is not even slightly "left " The New York times is not left at all. In fact it's despised by most left thinkers. aside from that, did you read the article, and if you did, are there errors of fact in it? I haven't read the article, and have no opinion on it. Well that's the thing isn't it? The article is just pointing out what has already happened and is happening now. Ther is nothing in there that is flattering because ther is nothing in there to be flattered about. It really doesn't matter who wrote it, it's making people aware that, right now we don't have a very good PM, in fact, he could go down as one of the worst.As to it being in a left leaning news source? How else would that info come out. It's not like the right leaning papers would want to revisit this stuff. you keep repeating this yet you offer up no reasons of your own to support this. Harpers place in history is going to be well regarded because of how successful he was as a politician. Say what you want about his policies but he's had a very long run as PM, including surviving several minority governments and growing through each one until he got a majority. That's an impressive feat and surely one of the worst PMs ever couldn't do that. People don't like him but don't let that cloud your judgement of what he's done.
-
Well I started reading the article, I couldn't get through it because it's slanting so far to the left I am surprised the letters didn't fall off the page. The reasons why Harper is such a control freak who hates the media should be pretty self evident. The media did a real hatchet job on the party before they were in power every time anyone said anything even remotely silly. No other party got that treatment but the whole "hidden agenda" story still hasn't died even after nearly a decade of conservative governments. People still think he's going to drag the country back to the stone age socially. All those constant attacks forced things to be the way they are for the party. The liberal media created a monster they couldn't control.

Read above been stated that veltung is a healthy scratch. so literal... you know that a bit of critical thinking will allow you to see past terminology like healthy scratch and appreciate that sometimes healthy scratches aren't really healthy and sometimes teams just don't talk about injuries. -
Wasn't that when he was already an OC? He's just a QB coach now, so he should be ready to listen. No, that's when he was a QB coach for the Roughriders. We offered him OC and he said no, that he wanted to be HC. I'm not sure what happened after that, but he took a job OCing in BC instead of coming here. Then when they hired Cortez, they made Cortez OC and QB Coach, and they demoted Khari and now he's Receivers Coach, not a QB Coach. the fact that he hasn't come back after this long makes me really wonder if he's got a sour taste about Winnipeg, as a city, and the club, specifically.... I'd say maybe as a smart guy he's just avoiding the coaching graveyard that Winnipeg has become and that's why he's sort of had the HC or nothing attitude. That way if he flames out it's on his own terms.

Kind of like everyone who said that once there's film on young qbs and teams know how to defend them they struggle and people shouldn't over value good early performances?

Official (As Per Twitter): Marve Starts Friday
17to85 replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Mike Quinn was the guy that had the Bombers in field goal range and was supposed to just hand off on second down to gain a few more yards to make the game-winning FG easier, and instead he tossed a bomb into the end zone that was underthrown and picked off, thereby losing a game that the Bombers had pretty much won and in the bag. Berry just about had a coronary and Quinn was on the plane out of Winnipeg the next day. Berry no doubt has his locker emptied before he even got into the locker room. The play was supposed to check down if the safety was playing deep, Berry asked afterwards "didn't you see the safety?" Quinn replied something along the lines of "I saw him but thought I could beat him anyway". Well that was that and he was out of town the next day. -
The pure unadulterated jealousy that the rest of Canada exhibits towards Alberta is just staggering. Like its just easy money for everyone out here.

The thing is , the Bombers defence has been improving. For the Bombers is really does come down to avoiding turnovers. They turn the ball over it's bad news for them all around, they tend to give up a lot of points following turnovers.
