I grew up in Pinawa....we're taught from birth to beware the anti-Nuke voice out there. My grandfather was a nuclear scientist who worked his way up the ladder at Atomic Energy of Canada and created Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment in the 60s, along with his team. We were taught various "emergency protocols" throughout school, just in case something should ever go wrong out at "The Plant", but nothing ever did. The amount of safety measures in place...especially after incidents like Chernobyl and Three Mile Island.....really kept the dangerous stuff at bay.

The girlfriend wanted to get into Super Girl, so I watched the pilot with her....holy **** was that bad. She likes it, because it's basically a Katherine Heigel movie. Ugh.

Grey Cup Halftime Show is Fall Out Boy
well about an hour till they announce it apparently. Not that I really care about who the half time act is, but the music nerd in me says "**** please don't let it be a ****** band like Hozier"...

Now that our season is toast ...
It won't be Danny Barret, and honestly, I don't have a hot clue who might shake loose. But it better be someone damn good...

Grey Cup Halftime Show is Fall Out Boy
Ultimate hipster rock band. Only know of them from SNL last year. That would be a gigantic yawn for me. Eric Church however... Now that would be epic.

Hmmm Linkin Park. Interesting. Have they had a hit in the last decade? I'm outta touch with the rock world...

The boys and I like to call it "Pronger Physics"......you can't help but catch a guy "high" when you're that much taller than everyone else.

been stated multiple times that it's an American act.....so no to Hedley.....

Game 12: Jets @ Habs
Let's just be clear: CANADIENS......not Canadians. Very big distinction in my mind.......

Penton: Wade Miller already recruiting assistant coaches for next year
As long as people are tossing around completely unfounded rumours, I did read a thing online that MOS apparently wanted MB canned about midway through the year, but Miller kiboshed it, asking him to wait till the end of the year. No clue if that has any basis in reality, but it's something that's out there in the rumour-verse......

Around the CFL Regular Season Discussion
Disagree completely. Found myself, oddly cheering for Burris yesterday. Like to see the old guy leave with a cup.And the fans were not the problem in Ottawa in the past. The problems in the past were all about bizarre ownership and management combined with a a terrible stadium and lousy teams. I agree. Why should the fans suffer because of that. That would be like saying the Jets should have playoff success because Jets 1.0 moved. Horrendous analogy. Completely different scenarios.

Absurd that there's supplemental discipline on this....

Penton: Wade Miller already recruiting assistant coaches for next year
First, there's absolutely no reason to think MOS wants KJ17, because they have next to zero connection whatsoever. But, for the sake of argument, if that's who they want, then it's really simple. MOS is still coaching....Walters could be recruiting, could be doing whatever (none of us knows...) and Wade does have the pre-existing relationship, so he would say "Listen, you guys are busy...let me do some inquiring" and that's that. Iso, I know you hate this current regime, and that's fine...that's your prerogative.....but seriously, the level of spin you're putting on things is getting out of hand. Nothing is ever as bad (or as good) as you think it is.

Game 12: Jets @ Habs
Buff's size basically prevents him from playing well on back to back nights, especially when they're roadies. It's just gotta be so tough to maintain an energy level while playing at that size...
-
Game 12: Jets @ Habs
Bottom line, Jets looked like a team playing road games on back to back nights. Needed Hutch to have a hero game and bail 'em outta a jam, but it was a tall ask. They'll look much better vs TO on Wednesday...

Yeah, really curious what the screenplay looks like...

Game 12: Jets @ Habs
I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why it was even a penalty. Other than Gallagher selling it with the pinwheel....

Next question ... since it seems to be a theme around here
**** absolutely everyone that isn't us....

Next question ... since it seems to be a theme around here
If Burris wins a GC in Winnipeg in November then all kinds of miracles have taken place to make it happen.

Upcoming Movies
Best news: principle photography for Bad Santa 2 starts in January in Quebec. Should be in theatres for next Christmas. That cast will really miss Bernie Mac and John Ritter tho....

Blue Jays
They've already announced that Sanchez is coming out of the bullpen to join the starting rotation next year... Fwiw.

Now that our season is toast ...
MB will get canned but my concern is that there won't be a really experienced CFL OC available. Having both Benny and Hall come available last season was a total fluke. We couldn't possibly be that lucky on O this time could we? I'm not exactly thrilled at the thought of trying out yet another inexperienced guy at OC...
