Not buying into the interior OL is bad line of thought. They have had their bad moments, but are still miles better than most of the league. Could they be better? Sure could. I, also, agree that Dobson and Eli may improve things. However, you as well as anyone knows, that the time to make these kind of changes is over the bye week, not on a short week. I mean people are seriously going to suggest that not changing up 40% of our OL on a short week is roster mismanagement? Just the opposite. It would be monumentally stupid to do so this week.

Not defending the roster management, just not seeing it as a reason we have lost 2 games this year. Could it still be a factor? Sure.

Agudosi and Clements

What games have we lost because of roster management? I agree with your premise that opinions shouldn't be automatically **** on, but I see no proof that your's is correct yet. At the one third point of the season, yes Toronto appears to be a better team...although we haven't played them yet and I see nothing to suggest roster management has cost us a game? I'm not defending the roster management at all, as it could be better. However, my eyeballs have seen other reasons for our two losses. One of them, and I'm surprised you haven't mentioned this todaso, being some of our vets not playing well.

Holy crap did this thread degenerate! Yes, there is a couple head scratching moves on defence, but get off the sauce people. ZC is not going to get hurt behind this "porous" OL. This "porous OL" is still one of the top OLs in the league. Get off the sauce.

My theory is that the vets have been settling in after getting a big lead because they simply don't have the same incentive to keep making plays as the younger guys do. The young guys still have NFL stars in their eyes and will play the full 60. We have seen teams come back on us this year and I feel it's because some of the vets on our team took the foot off the gas pedal and started trying to preserve themselves for next week. Not consciously, but subconsciously. The adrenaline drops off because the pressure lessens and then you start feeling all the aches and pains and it effects performance. Just my opinion. Can't prove it or anything, just what I feel may be going on. Might be time for the Bombers leaders to get in that room and make sure everyone goes full 60 every game because we aren't seeing that level of effort this year.

Eli, along with superior centre skills, would also bring some nasty back to our OL that has been missing lately.

Focus is the problem with the Bombers right now..not talent. If Zac doesn't throw a pick 6 and Shoen doesn't drop a sure thing TD..we are 5-1. However, the boys aren't capitalizing on chances or playing mistake free like they normally would. That's focus not talent.

I go from 9 pm daily to around 1 pm. Just coffee and water in between. If I feel my blood sugar is too low I will break fast at 9am. It takes a couple weeks but you will find that you won't even be hungry and when you are in your eating window you will reduce portions.

Yea, staying mentally sharp is a roll of the dice once you get to an advanced age. However, it is a chance I am willing to take. Not everyone loses it. I've seen a lot of elderly people who are extremely sharp in their 90's. Some...not so much. I can tell you that poor fitness in old age will result in memory loss/dementia at a far greater rate than those with physical health...but nothing is foolproof. I tried everyday and I was getting hypoglycemic at times so I had to cut it back. However, if you are able to do it...hell yea.

I do a 16 hour fast, nothing but black coffee, for 16 hours a day 4 times a week and a minimum of 12 the other 3 days a week. I went from an A1C of 13.4 to between 5 and 6 for the past 3 years taking no diabetes meds at all. Low carb diet (under 100g of carbs per day and never more than 40 in a 2 hour window), and moderate exercise level as well. For those with metabolic issues I highly recommend this approach.

It's also really good for anyone with metabolic diseases. I was diagnosed with diabetes, CKD, and high blood pressure a few years ago and my overall health was very poor. My friend put me onto his metabolic disease diet and workout, which was mostly resistance training with some weight training as well. In less than 6 months I was off the diabetes meds and my kidney function had improved a ton and blood pressure back to normal. It's been smooth sailing since, and I am not living at the gym (home bowflex 3 times a week with some free weights maybe an hour a session) and I am not on a calorie count either. Just eating right what I do eat. Weight didn't really drop but body fat percentage and waste size sure did I am scared to fall and be that old lady in the commercial...."Help I've fallen and I can't get up". However, I never considered the benefits of that but yea....I could definitely see that being beneficial and not too hard on these old joints of mine either.

Yea....fitness of any sort will definitely help. Strength training for sure is beneficial is benefiical to stave off sarcopenia. Just make sure you don't wear out your joints doing it and struggle with RA because of it. Friend of mine owns Podaima Performance, a gym that specializes in fitness for people over 40. He too recommends intermittent fasting with training happening during the fasted state. He likes the combo of strength and resistance as well to build muscle and joint health. I would say that is now 2 people who know a crap load more about it then I do recommending it so I may give it a try.

I do that every day. So far we have all survived though.

I knew Morris from the Village, and he was a genuinely nice man and not at all the alter ego he portrayed on the forums. With the exception of his disdain for Lyle Bauer, and some doozy conspiracy theories around that, he was just kind of a normal old guy with some real far out takes on some stuff. He wore a tin foil hat, but really was a harmless guy who openly admitted that he revelled in the contrarian role he played on the forums. Pretty sure I saw Tburg there getting lessons from him....lol. That was years ago....wouldn't surprise me if he is holed up somewhere in a tin foil lined room awaiting the arrival of Lyle Bauer and his new world order....lmao. Osborne Village never disappoints....the hippies flocked there for a reason.

Most of the sayings, jokes, and cultural references on the show are very typical of everyday reserve culture. They incorporated it very well and while I certainly can appreciate the difficulty in doing that, I can tell you that it came very natural to these actors. Trauma hangs over every reserve resident every day. It's the only thing they know well. You can not write a true reservation story without talking about suicide, despair, etc etc. and you cannot write a reserve story without acknowledging just how much humor they still enjoy in spite of that.

Love me some Scorcese....but I am going to wait and see what others say about this film because it will likely just piss me off. DiCaprio in the lead as the sympathetic white man lead is enough to get my gall. Maybe I'm wrong about it and it will be a good film, but I've seen too many movies where the show is told through the eyes of a heroic white man trying to save the misunderstood heathens. Just once put an indigenous man in that role for cripes sakes. Always, like all of history, told through the eyes of a white man. Just like Dances with Wolves etc. etc. I like the awareness these movies bring to the dark history, but I sure wish they would go with the true indigenous story without the white man intermediary just once. How we actually lived it, not how it was observed by others and not making some white guy the hero in our story.

Honestly, those roles probably came very easy to them. Not much of a departure for them at all. That's what made the show so good I think. Just find a few funny young indigenous people and tell them to be themselves and relive some of the funny moments they remember. The actors had a lot of input into the crafting of their jokes, and you could see that indigenous humor shine. It's that acknowledgement that makes the show special I think. It talks about deep issues but does so just like I would with a group of my buddies, with jokes and laughter and an effort to make the best out of a bad situation.

It was just uncanny how well this was done. As someone who grew up on the reserve I could literally put a name of someone I knew to every character on that show.

Never heard of this show before but it is now going to be must watch TV for me. That's too bad. It really showed just how funny and how much indigenous people enjoy a good laugh. You won't find more laughter in a room than sitting around having a few beers with buddies on the res.

Yea...I hope not too. I want to go with dignity, although it certainly isn't anyone's fault when their body gives out I can certainly understand their frustration.

He lived a very full life. It sucks that covid got him, but his last few months he was so frustrated with his physical limitations that his quality of life he wanted was unachievable and he would have been just playing out the string. I know that sounds harsh. but he really was a proud man and having to get others to wipe his bum was killing him too.

My Dad was 86 when he died, and just prior to him getting sick we had convinced him it was time to live part time at the old folks home down the street from his house. The compromise was that we would keep up his yard and house and he could go home on weekends with one of us staying with him as he was really physically struggling with rheumatoid arthritis so day to day tasks such as cooking or even getting in and out of the shower he needed help with. Best we could do because he was not giving up the house, and at that age....why should he. Unfortunately, he went into St. B for some unrelated health issues and got caught up in one of the very early hospital covid outbreaks in the province and never came out. Was before they even had the vaccines.

Just search Nasty Nate on the forum search bar, was he Nasty Nate here or was he gone before MBB? At any rate a search of that moniker should reveal a plethora of urban legends about Morris from the village and the harrassment he faced from Lyle Bauer. lmao.

I am not sure what kind of dream world MBT is living in where he thinks he has NFL hope. Maybe if several teams around the NFL were to lose their entire QB stable to injury they might want an old vet presence to teach youngsters how to be pros, but even that is an extreme longshot and would never happen before the NFL season. Did Henoc use ancestral spirit guides to mediate this conversation?
