  1. 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.
  2. I think Petermann is the dark horse that we really need to keep.
  3. 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 considering how outdated his offense was the last time he was with us which has been 11 years already....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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Wow with those salaries you'd think they'd be good Christians and donate most of their salaries to worthy causes rather then themselves?
  7. Yikes! Is Vince Russo going to write for them soon?
  8. Sting is in AEW? So can we expect Hogan / Bischoff / Hall / Nash to be on in the next few weeks? TNA 2.0?
  9. I want Strev to play in the NFL long enough that he gets a pension and then he can come back to the Blue
  10. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
  11. 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.
  12. Streveler would of thrived in the early 90's during the days when Christian Okoye would be given the ball to bounce people off of him for the short yardage TD's....
  13. I still can't believe Calgary traded for Lucic.... that is the worst contract in the league and they traded for it.
  14. I'm not sure if it's true but I read they want to go with a woman who is a person of color. Personally I think Ken Jennings would be the smart replacement that wouldn't drop the ratings.
  15. It's not so much about the storage , it's more so about dealing with the weather conditions and being able to super charge the batteries at a decent rate with clean power. As I said before in remote communities many times they leave the trucks to idle otherwise they won't start back up from the freeze. I can't imagine batteries being able to run at it's optimal specs in weather conditions like that. Some of these remote areas also require you to drive 300 kms of pure wilderness and zero human contact. I know even in summer I get a bit anxious doing those drives even with a satellite phone and a full tank of gas. I know it's the minority of the overall population, but I can't imagine people in those areas being forced to buy electric.
  16. I'm not sure if Save On Foods is an option for you but we've used them a few times and my parents are now using them all the time (they are old, dad is on Chemo) and they've been really good with being on time and picking good produce.
  17. Hospitals barely any, my dad had to use my moms tablet to watch movies. Rest homes, not sure haven't been one in a while. Overall cable is losing customers at an insane rate so I'd imagine for the most part the only people who are dedicated cable tv watchers and nothing else would be limited to the really old seniors. Even baby boomers these days are into Kodi boxes and using netflix.
  18. I guess for the older folks this will be good? Almost everyone I know that's my age or younger don't have cable and primarily stream from youtube or other places on the net.
  19. In some places where I've been they run their Diesel trucks 24/7 in winter and have extremely spotty electricity. I know it's a micro fraction of the general population, but some folks it just won't work for them.
  20. Not practical at all, how are they going to transport these kids, who is going to pay the insurance, who is paying to retrofit, are the teachers going to be completely cut off from being online or connected to the office. What if my kid gets hurt how am I going to know? Who is going to pay for the extra admin support required?
  21. So that would force everyone to buy a hybrid or electric? I'm not sure how that would work up North where people need big gas guzzling trucks?
  22. Nope the original place closed up and it's now changed to a different asian restaurant. I think the old one was called Asoyama.
  23. We just got a message that our school is adding a few more inservice days later this month to plan for remote learning. If the numbers continue then I would assume that everything goes remote in the new year after X-Mas break.
  24. I'm curious if their is more to the story as next door to Wild Wing they used to have a Sushi place (forget the name) and suddenly one day they also had issues with rent and simply vanished.
  25. I saw it was closed a few weeks back, I assumed it closed because it wasn't that busy before COVID. I did like the many different flavours, I wish they could of moved somewhere else.
