I fall under use common sense. I'm not going to rat out my senior neighbour who lives alone and decides to have a grand child come over and are dealing with massive depression from being alone during the holidays and most of the year. I will however call and report when someone has a New Years party with 20 people in the house just because they have to party and get their drank on.

Bingo! When I visited some reserves in Fall they were really good at monitoring people coming in and out and at the local restaurant/gas stations/community store they were doing a great job of everyone wearing masks and social distancing. Better then in Winnipeg. However some reserves such as Shamattawa are similar to how it is in the Mad Max movies. I can't put it in a nice way but they are completely different from most of the other reserves.

I don't believe in whatever simulation they are using. I use the real simulator which is the NHL 1994 remaster which is currently free on Xbox Game Pass and the Jets are much better in that game then what indicates on that guys twitter. The defense is a bit weak but Helle is one of the top goalies in the game and I seem to always get 5 goals per game with Scheifele. The Jets are definitely not the worst Canadian team.

Personally I think it's over saturating the franchise. However the ten short animated special could be awesome like the Animatrix was.

Ford was way to old in the last Indiana Jones movie.... why do they think it's a good idea to bring him out again? Wouldn't this be the right time to reboot the series with a new lead?

I see they caved to the pressures of Springs. That's sad.

Short term Rivers is definitely an improvement over Jimmy.

Dak Prescott Phillip Rivers Cam Newton (yuck) Ryan Fitzpatrick Carson Wentz Jameis Winston I guess it depends on the direction they want to go.... stop gap for a few years... will they draft someone... stick with Jimmy?

You are thinking with your heart and not with the head. I'm not saying the greats of the past are bums and were never good, in the eras they played in they were elite. Your argument would be that Johnny Unitas and the all stars of 1960 would be able to hang and possibly beat the NFL all star club of 2020. It wouldn't even be close the 2020 club would absolutely destroy them and their is nothing wrong with that being the case because over time sports evolve and get better with each year. The original post was about Mike Kelly saying that modern CFL QB's couldn't hang in 1994 and he's completely wrong based on the part above in which I highlighted. If you disagree then that means you and Mike Kelly have the exact same thought pattern and well if you want to be grouped with Mike Kelly in anything about pro football then I really can't say anything else. In 2009 Kelly was ridiculed for running a dated offense and was completely wrong on how a successful CFL offense works.... 11 years later he's still saying the same things and I don't believe anyone (aside from possibly you) would join him on thinking that he knows what he is talking about.

It's amazing that they are at almost .500 based on how many and how all of their best players have been hurt this year. Complete write off season and I wonder if next year they bring in a new QB?

Remember back in the day many atheletes were smoking, were not taking any "supplements" , would walk in off the streets and just play, they would take the off season off and relax.... these days most of the players are doing year round training , working with nutrionists / personal trainers , working out smarter and better.... as I said you just can't compare. I'm sure if the classic players had all the modern day advantages that they would of even been even better but that's not the case. Do yourself a favour and watch old sports... it's funny to go back (hockey is the best to watch) and see just how inferior players were. The best example because the sport is so young is go and watch classic UFC. Back in 1994 Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie were the elite fighters.... a middle of the pack welter weight in present day UFC would absolutely destroy anyone in the first many UFC's because fighters now days are so far in advance in fighting knowledge and training. And no Speedflex... just because the first several UFC's were more physical and brutal... that still wouldn't change the fact that Tyron Woodley would of killed and easily won the early UFC with little to no effort.

Lol you are nuts. The only guy better on that list would be Warren Moon and that's it. The training that MBT and coaching he's had in the NFL and CFL is light years ahead of anything from that era. The quality of opposition in that era is so far inferior to what he faces now that it would be way easier. Because the defenses sucked so badly in the 80's and 90's it's much easier for the offense to win the battles by purely chucking the ball in the general direction of the receiver. See Dunigan's record breaking game that I watched in person where he literally John Madden 1994 for the SNES chucked the ball in the air in the general area of Alfred Jackson meanwhile the slow and incompetent DB's were way out of place and running man to man and being completely loss making it easy for Alfred to catch and rack up the YAC. MBT would have a field day against those teams. Even if you hate MBT, Nichols, Collaros, Fajardo , Glenn anyone would of had great success. If you want any further proof... watch Mike Kelly coaching the Bombers and not modifying his gameplan to at that time current coaching methods. His antiquated and shitty old schemes were so terrible and so easily defended against that he had to revert to a really basic offense scheme which worked better.

But their is a massive gap in atheletic ability , training, schemes, and skills. How can you not over look how much better athletes are today compared to then? It's pure denial in people not wanting to believe that their childhood heroes would not stack up against the athletes of today. That's why you can't make comparisons between eras because it's simply un fair. If skill levels have not changed then why doesn't everyone in baseball hit 50 homers and have a 350 batting average like they did way back in the olden times? How come the total amount of goals in the NHL dropped sharply after the the trap era began in the late 90's. How come in the CFL it isn't shoot outs like during the Dunigan era... The players these days are light years better athletes, better trained, better coached... so you can't compare. The old eras wouldn't stand a chance.

If MBT can throw for 300 yards against modern teams .. he'd throw for 400+ against guys like Jayson Dzikowicz and Dave Donaldson.

But one player does not make a team. Seriously watch old games from the 80's its hilarious on how poor the goalies form are and how sloppy everyone is. I love watching it because it is so wide open and frenetic, but the talent level is far inferior. Flutie would not be the best player in the current league, defenses have changed so much that he's be contained in the pocket and all his underneath stuff would be gone. Watch back in the 90's when he played... defenses were super basic running basic schemes that rarely took into account dump passes and/or mobile QB's. Not to mention the DT of current day are monsters in size and speed compared to 1994.... Flutie was not that athletic. You have to take off the old man glasses saying "back in my day the players were better bla bla bla".... in that era they were great. In todays era they would not be.

I think Petermann is the dark horse that we really need to keep.

He'd destroy any defenses in 84 or 94. The skill level in the CFL itself has jumped massively over the years, Mike Kelly is living way in the past.... considering how outdated his offense was the last time he was with us which has been 11 years already.... the guy is way out of touch. I'd put MBT way over Jason Boltus in level of talent and that's a weird comparison. Boltus was probably the worst QB we have seen on the team to date... so if you are trying to say that that absolute worst present day player in the CFL would of failed back in 1994 then sure I guess? I'd say in 1994 only a small amount of the league (the elite players only) would be able to play in todays current game. Same goes with almost any team based sports. Same thing would happen if the 2019- 2020 Winnipeg Jets were to play the dynasty Oilers of the 80's. The Jets would obliterate them. The skill level of athletes of today compared to back then is night and day. Watch old games, while fun to watch because it's exciting... the skill is absolutely terrible for most of the players.

Comparing apples to oranges.... the quality of players playing now compared to then is night and day better. I'm sure McLeod Bethel-Thompson would tear up the league if their was a time machine and he could go back. Put almost any of the defenses of the league now against the offenses of 1994 and same thing.... Flutie and company wouldn't have nearly the same amount of success.

I really recommend watching this episode of John Oliver.... it's crazy what they get away with in the States and apparently in Canada also.

Wow with those salaries you'd think they'd be good Christians and donate most of their salaries to worthy causes rather then themselves?

Yikes! Is Vince Russo going to write for them soon?

Sting is in AEW? So can we expect Hogan / Bischoff / Hall / Nash to be on in the next few weeks? TNA 2.0?

I want Strev to play in the NFL long enough that he gets a pension and then he can come back to the Blue

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Trust me it is better that you remember it as what it was rather then what it became. It's just a sad crumbling building at this point.
