I will say it again... Manitoba is lucky that the numbers are as low as they are. People are getting very casual when out in public (based on what I've seen) in the last month or so.

I'm here to help man, let me know and I can find resources to get you off the net and back to reality. It's a dangerous addiction. Also I'm not triggered , never have been and find this amusing. I don't take things to heart on here as unfortunately I do have a real life and live in the real world where I have to do with real challenges/struggles. It's my duty to help those who live completely online and who are so detached from reality that they (such as yourself) are consumed with everything they read and with everyone they deal with online.

No teams would... who the hell would want to sign a 56 year old QB?

My posts are not desperate attempts at attention and serve no purpose like what she did. Anyone who finds that picture as moving or something aside from a desperate attempt for attention really needs to get out more often. Also I'm glad you are a fan of my posts you can learn a thing or two from them. I'll help you out with getting off the internet and learning what the real world is like, it'll be good for you. It's very dangerous to live your life off the internet.

Powerful as in ridiculous and dumb?

Allen was disposable because when he played he wasn't the best and teams had better options elsewhere. .... most high quality QB's don't bounce around the league. In recent history when Ray was traded to Toronto it was a shocking event and the most unbelievable stupid move by Edmonton... Calvillo never left Montreal because they knew if they lost him they wouldn't contend (as shown when he retired). BLM was paid an insane sum for Calgary to keep him. The only QB's that would bounce team to team (Glenn) were always on the move because their were always better options available to replace him. These guys were to valuable to bounce around unlike Allen. Also note I've never said Allen was a bum... he just isn't in the same league as the elite guys.

I'm guessing you didn't read anything above? I quoted Esks1975 as his only description of why Damon Allen was a better qb then the guys on my list was because he stayed durable.... For yourself you keep referencing his stats and how he played for so long on so many different teams. At no point did you mention anything about his skillset. You keep bringing up Grey Cup rings.... I brought up that Milt Stegall has zero grey cup rings and despite having no rings he is looked upon as the best or at least top 3 WR in the league of all time. Grey Cup rings are nice but it doesn't indicate that a player is amazing. Chris Streveler has a grey cup ring... I don't consider him elite... he played on a team that won the cup and he was a small part of why that team won. I brought up Troy Westwood he has amazing career stats for a kicker.... he lasted 20 years.... must mean coaches saw something in him based on your own comment. Nobody is going to say Troy Westwood is the best or even near the top echelon of kickers in CFL history. Westwood shows up near the top of all kicking career stats but that's only because he played more games then others. I brought up the Media.... they over rate Allen big time and keep bringing up how he lasted a long time in the league as the reasoning for his greatness. TSN top 50 all time players had Allen near the top over guys like Ray and Calvillo.... the media clearly are on crack. I guess that would be the most subjective of my points but come on now they have guys like Darren Flutie in top 50 of all time they clearly have zero clue. Nobody mentioned above about how Allen had great passing mechanics, how he could overtake games, elevate the players around him, had a rocket arm, great accuracy etc... etc.... Only mention his career stats and how he stayed durable which proves my point.
-
Proving my point that the love for him is that he played a long time and remained healthy. Purely based on skills and at their best.... the others I mentioned above were better.

Someone wrote that the one on Springfield and Henderson was lights off and closed. I know many years back that all of the Pizza Huts almost went out of business as the local franchisee went bankrupt...

Allen has great stats because he played for a very long time during an era where people could easily put up gaudy numbers. I'm not saying he's some kind of bum and I'd pick Allen over Glenn for sure. I don't think at any point during his career Allen was looked upon as the best QB in the CFL. My point is that Troy Westwood has some nice numbers because he did play for a long time at a decent level... but I'd never rank him near the top of greatest kickers. I used Strev as an example because just because someone has a GC ring does not automatically make them elite or great. I can't comment on Allen's grey cup wins or play because I have not watched the games and have no idea if he played on stacked teams or if he was carrying the team himself. During his later years everyone referenced Allen as being that old guy who is still healthy enough to play... rarely did they say THIS GUY IS elite and he's Doug Flutie level of dominant. The story was mostly about him being in healthy shape that he could still play at an old age. His last grey cup run was probably his best season and because of that one season he may be talked about being an all time top 10 qb... but if not for that season he was definitely looked upon as journeyman qb who played in the CFL for a long time (like Kevin Glenn). I can't speak for old time QB's as I didn't watch them and can not offer a valid opinion... but in the last 30 years of the CFL I'd have Allen rank probably in the 15 - 20 range. Off the top of my head.... Flutie, Garcia, Dickenson, Ray, Calvillo, Reilly, Dunigan, Burris, BLM , McManus, Khari, Ham, Durant, Harris.... all I would put ahead of him. I think people fall in love with the fact that Allen could run and because he played for so long. Lots of the media love hyping him nowdays after he played.... but when he did play I rarely remember them saying he was the best....

I've read on a local facebook group that Pizza Hut may have completely shut down....

Is old merch really selling at a loss? I've had friends in the clothing industry and for clothing its really only a few dollars for each article of clothing. The mark up is insane.
-
One has a Grey Cup ring and the other does not! If you read above that is all that matters.
-
I simply want to re-stock on my Cherry Coke and clothes/shoes for the kids and then I'd be good for not going to the States for a long while.
-
I'd pick Chris Streveler over a prime Kevin Glenn.... that bar is not very high. Would you pick a prime Damon Allen over a prime Ricky Ray... hell no.
-
He's top 5 in all time field goals kicked and played in the league for nearly 20 years. Therefore automatic legend. My point is that just because you played a very long time does not make you elite.
-
Lol no it's because the attitude down south is terrible in certain places. I watched a few videos online last night of different places holding concerts and mega parties. In Dallas -

I don't see how it will cost 1 million dollars for a name change? Unless he's factoring in some kind of "increased" promotional costs to promote the new name/logo. For merch why not blow it out and I'm sure the local fans would buy it up to get the old stuff one more time before it's all gone.
-
Goes back to Troy Westwood... I guess that makes him top 5 place kicker of all time otherwise he wouldn't of lasted so long.
-
Edmonton Erections... have a partnership with Viagra and sign Dave Stala and watch Rod Black go absolutely bonkers during the games....
-
Stegall won 0 Grey Cups.... I guess he sucks.
-
I have yet to read of anyone who has professed love for Ambrosie. I can't even remember anyone ever really taking his side for almost anything. Madani has his doubters.... he's not super reliable when it comes for news. He does tend to throw **** on the wall and hope that something sticks.

The discount hot dogs simply outweigh COVID at this point....

You are welcome. Also since you apparently are unfamiliar with Ukrainian (and I'll lump in Russian and Polish) the culture is extremely xenophobic and homophobic so to compare it to BLM or anything else is a hilarious statement. Have you not seen what they have done with African refugees over the last several years? I'd recommend educating yourself before making silly statements.
