Calgary, hamilton, ottawa and edmonton have all been quite too. I'm not gonna give 3rdown a click just to read a bunch of speculation and BS.

Merry Christmas everyone! Drink something tasty smoke something funny and eat more then you should!!

Jesus christ, are we really getting to the off-season time of "why isn't Walter's doing anything?" We all know teams have till Feb 2021 right?

Anyone paying attention to the 3rdown 100 top CFL players list? Wtf were they smoking?? They put Gainey, Unamba and Medlock ahead of Bighill....BIGHILL, yes the guy one year removed from DPOY....Medlock is great, but he is NOT a better football player then Bighill. And thise other two aren't even great. Unamba is solid and Gainey is a ******* fraud.

Many are appointment based if I'm not mistaken. Line ups aren't what they used to be due to that.

Viking fans are like Leaf fans...Next year is always their year! lol.

Does Biden even know what year it is?

Exactly what I was thinking. Good start...but let's get some more on there!!!

I understand that. Your speaking to the converted here. But lets not pretend medical issues have not been used to harm individuals or populations. Even THIS year there have been down right awful circumstances. I will NEVER attack/belittle anyone asking questions about a drug and it's potential side effects. That's a slippery slope when we allow that to happen. And if you have the experience you know very well there are no substitutes for long term data. This type of behavior from the media/government etc isn't just dangerous now...it's dangerous for the years a head.

I mean if Dallas' Defence wasn't doing their job, why should the refs?

Right I agree with that. What I'm saying is I'm seeing articles like the one from the Times, as well as other chatter online about people who have legitimate questions about the long term consequences of this vaccine being called out as anti-vaxxers. When we should be asking these questions.

Lol the article doesn't have her saying she against vaccines. Have you read it? I'm also against government mandates. Especially when it comes to my body. I understand why they're needed...we got a bunch of idiots running around...but we as a society need to be very cautious and assertive when it comes those types of laws. We should be volunteering to take the vaccine because it's based on solid evidence and good science. Not because the government says so.

I actually went and researched her a bit more and came to that same conclusion. My main point is, the article in the Times does a HORRIBLE job of showing that she's anti-vaxxer (though I still don't think she is anti-vaccine just overall crazy) it does make it seem like if you have questions about the safety of THIS vaccine, you should be shunned and turned into an anti-vaxxer. And that's bullshit. And more and more media outlets are doing this type of bullshit reporting. It happens from the right via Antifa and it's happening on the Left with those who have real questions about the vaccine or defunding the police. This vaccine is brand new. AND based on a brand new technology. And we have 0 long term data, not even 12 months worth. That's 100% outside of the norms for any vaccine ever developed. It's not a bad thing to question this is really all I'm saying.

Show me were she states that though. That's what I'm saying.

Yeah that was the original article that I commented on. Again, having questions about vaccines...which is all I've seen from her does not equal anti vaxxer. Having questions about this vaccine is important and should not be seen as anti science. Anyone who is peddling that either doesn't understand how science works or is pushing an agenda. Either way that's not good. The Times has really started to fall off when it comes to good journalism.

Reported by who? Anti-vaxer has taken on many different things, including asking questions about vaccines.

Fair enough...though again...we need to be careful, the Left demonizes people just as easily as the Right does.

Hydroxychloroquine has been used to help fight Covid though...it's not a cure by any means, but Doctors have used it to help treat patients. And yes. We do need to question things. What are the long term side effects? Is that not a fair question to ask? I haven't been able to confirm (so take this with a grain of salt) but I have heard they didn't test recipients of the vaccine who didn't have symptoms after getting it...not a big deal right...but are any of them asymptomatic...if so, can they still spread it? Why weren't they tested? These are fair questions as far as I'm concerned. I also consider it bad science to ignore these issues. Also I don't think she's a quack. That was kinda my point. She just has fair questions that deserve answers. We read headlines, and quick quotes and think that's the story. But reading the actual article, nothing she said or even anything the aurthor of the article said made her out to be some Right wing anti vaxxer. The article headline did though.

I don't know...did you read the article? Someone having questions about the side effects of a new drug are labelled conspiracy theorists and anti vaxers...? That's bullshit. Having concerns is 100% needed and necessary. We need people who question things. That's good science. I'm also 100% against government making this mandatory. I'm sure if I stopped there, loads of people would be willing to right me off as anti vaxer. But I'll be getting the vaccine when it's available. Because I trust science. Not because the government told me to. Doing anything that way is dangerous and not acceptable in a free society.

The debate about his feelings started with me saying, Kingsbury saying nice things about Streveler isn't proof that Streveler is some amazing talent. It was just a coach being a coach. Obviously he thinks he's good, he's his #2. But also....of course he is gonna say good things about him to the media, he's a head coach.

I'm fairly sure, you won't have a choice.

Yeah I got that. I was trying to point out, that most head coaches are going to say their players can play in the NFL. Its not at all unusual or unique to Streveler.

A head coach praising one of his young QBs....how unusual

Sorry. I had asked where someone says he is the end all be all of QBs....not examples of people saying he should be given an opportunity to run a short yardage package....Just because that's' all I've seen/read. People saying he should get a shot at doing that. I believe you claimed people thought he was "the end all be all". I'm just asking where you saw that. I don't really see any point of a package...except for short yardage situations. I wouldn't want Murray in the bottom of a pile. Other than that I agree with you.
