  1. I remember things differently. The vast majority sang hail to the chief when Kelly terminated Glenn. It was only when the "the plan" became Stefan Lefors that some people suddenly began questioning the release of Glenn while a not so silent minority began questioning if Kelly was cut out for the GM game. This led to some very dark times on the Bomber forums as the pro-Kelly and anti-Kelly factions went tooth and nail at each other. There was a fan club attempt made but you had to swear loyalty to Kelly to join. It was bizarre. I was anti-Kelly from the day he released Glenn with no real QB plan in place and I had a rough time that year...right up until he beat his wife (I mean allegedly beat his wife)...then the tide turned.
  2. Yes, he was totally exonerated. It was bad beef that was NOT purchased from A&W. Next time he'll make sure his steak and eggs was grown hormone free. He promises. Seriously though, never heard anything except the rumbling footsteps of a pissed off Harris as he carried his team to crushing victories over the Stamps, RIders, and Kitty Cats. With no CFL season, thus no testing, I am sure that he would never consider PEDs prior to this next season. He's learned his lesson...about bad beef.
  3. Laine should displace who exactly? Wheeler? Who ranks in the top 10 in NHL scoring production over the past 5 years. Connor? ...and play on the off wing? Where exactly would you put Laine, who still has some weaknesses in his overall game, if you were Maurice? Imo, Maurice is providing him with ample ice time, and has provided plenty of top line and PP minutes. Could he have given him more? Sure. Is it a slam dunk that he should have done so...far from it. Laine has to learn to put the team ahead of himself. There is NOTHING in the evolution of his usage that should have him upset.
  4. Last year Laine played more time with Scheifele than Wheeler did and averaged almost a minute per game more in ice time. Usage theories debunked. Some will say, well that's only because of the Little injury, but does it matter? Fact is that Laine had ample opportunity to play with Scheif and had ample ice time. He is 22 years old and still developing and quite frankly if his usage is the concern he has then maybe we should trade him because he would then be a me first guy. The Jets have done everything possible this offseason to set him up for success, if he is still unhappy unload him.
  5. Thanks Noeller, sounds fantastic.
  6. Three worst? 1. The entire Reinbold era...pick a time, any time. 2. Mike Kelly era...the entire fiasco that was...set us back years 3. 2001 Grey Cup...
  7. I do know that the creator of the Extra Point left the Bombers under Miller's tenure. I can't say for sure, but I got the impression it wasn't on the best of terms. Is that a direct result of Miller? Don't know...but the timing adds up. My cousin was the manager of the Bomber store at the stadium and he said Miller was a tough guy to work for. Didn't slag him but said he is a my way or the highway kind of guy.
  8. Wife had it done. They stuck a swab up her nose until it basically stopped. That was early on in the whole covid thing so if they have a better procedure now...right on.
  9. Not anything...but just about.
  10. Getting jabbed in the brain is not particularly appealing to many people. However, if I was getting paid millions, I would never refuse whatever the heck they told me to do.
  11. The original term eskimo became that by the French from the Dene word Ayassemo (sp?). The Cree do not have a term for eater of raw meat. Our term for the Inuit is Atchmikisiw (sp?) which translates to lacer/wearer of snowshoes. The Cree language has very few specific descriptors in the language.
  12. It has to do with the fact that I know it's not a cree term. Thought that was pretty obvious.
  13. Do you speak Cree? I do.
  14. Its actually a Dene term not Cree.
  15. The problem with the left is that they have been taken over y extremists as well. I readily admit there are deep seeded problems with right wing politics right now, but it is equally as bad on the left.
  16. Don't even bring up the spectre of breaking promises and compromised morality if you are a Liberal supporter. Trudeau is the most corrupt, and biggest promise breaker since his father left office. Good gravy man....the guy is a farce. Just a puppet on a string of maybe the most vile character in political history. Gerald Butts. In case you have forgotten, the CPC had the most votes last election under an extremely underwhelming leader. Mackay will be far more appealing to the moderates. You are spouting opinion on the CPC, but the fact is that they are a hair away from taking power.
  17. Most Conservatives were quite happy with the unite the right movement. It's only the left that hated this. It was not divisive in any way amongst the vast majority of right leaning voters. That's just left spin. McKay remains very popular with the right, and he is popular in the Maritimes and Ontario where he is viewed as a moderate conservative. You can have your opinion about him if you wish, but it is not based on facts, just on your personal take of the situation which is both biased and ill-informed. When McKay is elected leader he will be a formidable opponent to Trudeau and will likely become the next PM of Canada. In a twist of irony, he may be the leader that causes both the right and eventually the left to end up uniting.
  18. The Liberals can call for an election any time they want, and if they feel they are polling strongly they probably will. However, I doubt they do so before the CPC has their new leader in place, as calling it before might hurt them at the polls as the electorate would not like that kind of snaky move. The CPC will likely see a small surge in popularity after the media fawn over whoever there new leader is. The Libs will likely ride that out and then call for an election so that McKay doesn't get too much traction as he will be a popular choice in Eastern Canada..
  19. I am inclined to believe that you are just as bigoted in your opinion on this matter.
  20. I wouldn't put much stock in poll numbers right now. They will likely change significantly once the Covid distraction is over, and a new CPC leader emerge. His popularity is up because for the past several months there was no opportunity for opposition and the opposition parties took the high road during a pandemic.
  21. Kaepernick was over rated when he played and is even more over rated now.
  22. Houston might be able to beat last year's Ottawa team and that's about it. This Galko guy is dreaming if he thinks they were the best team outside the NFL.
  23. I agree. Athleticism and ability are important. If he brings a good attitude he could be a sleeper pick.
  24. They should just play the CFL season in BMO as is no one goes anyway.
  25. The irony is too rich, you've been crying about everything the Bombers do since Christ was a cowboy. It's kind of your shtick. You made yet another ultra-dumb comment in an attempt to pigeon hole any thought process that varies from your biased nonsense and I called you on it and always will call you on it because it is the lowest common denominator way of arguing a point. If you disagree the argument that Simonise wasn't given much of a chance to make the team, tell us why, instead of trying to suggest everyone who thinks that way its because they had some predetermined opinion of him....because that is just stupid.
