  1. No love for Bullwinkles aka the oak?
  2. Never thought MOS was the type to throw his players under a bus but if it's not the scheme then it must be...
  3. Yeah.... but Brohm got a bigger pair of b***ls to withstand the boos from the crowd. Give it time. If Marve plays as poorly as Brohm, the crowd will boo him too. I hope Dominique Davis is ready to be the most popular player in town.
  4. It's a little more complicated with DC since they've been owned by Warner Brothers since the late 60's. WB put out the original Superman & Batman movies but the DC Entertainment company didn't get involved with comic book movies until Batman Begins.
  5. I was just about to post the same thing. Marvel didn't start making their own movies until 2008.
  6. Yeah Noeller was watching Archie and friends instead. ...... Stuck up Riverdale punks, think they're too good for me... Stay out of Riverdale!
  7. You forgot... By the power of Zeus, I never thought I see that again... I always hated the ******* little centaur. F'ing Newt.... Herc Herc, hey Herc!
  8. One bite and done!
  9. SJ Green
  10. The same concept should go for government unions that require workers to join unions as part of their job. People should have the freedom to "opt out" of their union and keep their union dues in their pockets. It shouldn't be mandatory membership. Of course, if this actually happened, most government unions would collapse almost over night. I'm not sure about that. Many people in unions are just as passionate for them as many people are against them. I've been forced to be in some unions in some places that I've worked, and there are many hardcore pro union people that work there. Also, if the government unions dissolved, the pay and benefits that many civil servants get would be reduced to be in-line with industry averages, so why would they get rid of their unions? Government is one work place that isn't there to turn a profit and can't close up shop if pay and benefits don't make fiscal sense. It is the perfect place for unions to thrive. I actually agree with this. If a workplace is unionized, then all employees should be in it. I was part of one where we had to opt in to being a member but if we didnt, we still paid dues and were still represented. We just werent official members. You have to protect people from themselves. If a workplace is negotiating collectively, you cant allow for X amount to sabotage it or be enticed by management to sabotage it. All or none. Im not fully anti-union. Just that some unions seem to think its still 1912. And it isnt. I sat in an informal "disciplinary" meeting once and the childish insults and smarmy remarks were almost unbearable. I was embarrassed. Collective negotiation is great. When it's done properly by intelligent adults. FYP I'm unionized in my current job, and have been for the majority of my previous jobs as well. Some unions are much better/worse than others, it all depends on the executive. I've been part of my current union twice now (different locals) and it's night and day. My previous stint sounds very similar to what you currently have... f*cking useless would the most polite way I could describe them, but I'm happy (comparatively speaking) with how my current local works.
  11. Mine is not going to as many games as I should have when I was younger. I always followed the team and kinda knew what was going on but I didn't really start going to a lot of games until about 10-12 years ago. So while I got to see Milt, Khari & Charlie in their prime, I have very few memories of seeing guys like Battle, West, Reaves, etc (way too many to name) playing live.

  13. Free agent after this season. He signed an extension last year that runs through the 2015 season.
  14. There goes another piece of my childhood.
  15. And we have Jhomo Gordon at 21, developing on the PR.
  16. Neufeld looked pretty good from what I saw. He made it through the entire game which is a big win in my opinion. On our 1st drive, he absolutely rag-dolled the guy he was working against 2 plays in a row, it was pretty fun to watch.
  17. We noticed the Edmonton kicker doing converts from the hash marks last week. Glad Lirim is doing it now too.
  18. Maybe I'm dumb but I can't seem to figure out what's so clever about that? I think I'll just keep watching until I figure it out.
  19. If they plan to attack Drew's knee, it's going to backfire.
  20. Andrew's is full but there might be room on Trevor's!
  21. That would be a suitable punishment. It would also ensure he is not a repeat offender (on Willy at least!).
  22. I don't know that the Willy injury against Edm was an "obvious penalty"... but I did point out during the game that Jake Thomas got called for a penalty that was essentially the same type of play... hit the qb low it's supposed to be a flag and he was obviously hit low. Very obvious to everyone but the refs. During the game, Dunigan mentioned that a fine was likely coming, and MOS wouldn't give his thoughts on the hit because he didn't want to get in trouble with the league so I'm surprised we haven't heard of any punishment for Eddie Steele.
  23. I miss that show Saw this article and remembered this post. http://www.winnipegsun.com/2015/07/29/david-faustino-developing-marriedwith-children-spinoff
  24. Willy is in, Moore is out. Veltung takes his place according to the depth chart.
  25. I wonder how the Rider fans feel about this. Personally, I'd love to see Taman sign him, especially if it happened before Labour Day!
