hard to understand that non challenge.

no running game for either team

Ottawa has some very good Canadians. nationals

entertaining half of football, even though not machine like on either side.

bombers are better than calgary right now. picked edmonton, now thinking no reason why the bombers can't win the game tomorrow.

weak holding call.

Burris can't complete long, short or medium passes. also can't catch the snap. now the receivers can't catch look great!!!

"In October 2013, the incarceration rate of the United States of America was the highest in the world, at 716 per 100,000 of the national population. While the United States represents about 4.4 percent of the world's population, it houses around 22 percent of the world's prisoners" something clearly gone wrong in the USA. They love putting people in jail. for anything at all. The "liberal" Bill Clinton played a part with his "three strikes" law. "n July 15th, 1995, in the quiet Southern California city of Whittier, a 33-year-old black man named Curtis Wilkerson got up from a booth at McDonald's, walked into a nearby mall and, within the space of two hours, turned himself into the unluckiest man on Earth. "I was supposed to be waiting there while my girlfriend was at the beauty salon," he says. So he waited. And waited. After a while, he paged her. "She was like, 'I need another hour,'" he says. "So I was like, 'Baby, I'm going to the mall.'" Having grown up with no father and a mother hooked on barbiturates, Wilkerson, who says he still boasts a Reggie Miller jumper, began to spend more time on the streets. After his mother died when he was 16, he fell in with a bad crowd, and in 1981 he served as a lookout in a series of robberies. He was quickly caught and sentenced to six years in prison. After he got out, he found work as a forklift operator, and distanced himself from his old life. But that day in the mall, something came over him. He wandered from store to store, bought a few things, still shaking his head about his girlfriend's hair appointment. After a while, he drifted into a department store called Mervyn's. Your typical chain store, full of mannequins and dress racks; they're out of business today. Suddenly, a pair of socks caught his eye. He grabbed them and slipped them into a shopping bag. What kind of socks were they, that they were worth taking the risk? "They were million-dollar socks with gold on 'em," he says now, laughing almost uncontrollably, as he tells the story 18 years later, from a telephone in a correctional facility in Soledad, California. Really, they were that special? "No, they were ordinary white socks," he says, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Didn't even have any stripes." Wilkerson never made it out of the store. At the exit, he was, shall we say, over­enthusiastically apprehended by two security officers. They took him to the store security office, where the guards started to argue with each other over whether or not to call the police. One guard wanted to let him pay for the socks and go, but the other guard was more of a hardass and called the cops, having no idea he was about to write himself a part in one of the most absurd scripts to ever hit Southern California. Thanks to a brand-new, get-tough-on-crime state law, Wilkerson would soon be sentenced to life in prison for stealing a pair of plain white tube socks worth $2.50. Have you heard the one about the guy who got life for stealing a slice of pizza? Or the guy who went away forever for lifting a pair of baby shoes? Or the one who got 50 to life for helping himself to five children's videotapes from Kmart? How about the guy who got life for possessing 0.14 grams of meth? That last offender was a criminal mastermind by Three Strikes standards, as many others have been sentenced to life for holding even smaller amounts of drugs, including one poor sap who got the max for 0.09 grams of black-tar heroin.

CJOB :"Tony Burnett will be added to the roster as a linebacker/defensive back and special teams player. The Bombers have been anxious to see Burnett in game action since he arrived late in training camp. A product of USC, Burnett has outstanding speed and O’Shea calls him an “explosive” athlete."

Odell was benched last game, and it didn't slow down their line much if at all.

what was she doing in a jail? this is the part I don't get. argue with a policeman, spend two nights in jail? and why didn't her family go and get her out? strange and sad. There is a very large amount of tension, stress, and ugliness down in the USA these days. they should stop "saving" the world, and start saving themselves.

what's Edmonton's weakness on their defence? Not sure there is one.

Justin Dunk, with photos, explains some Edmonton blitzing. http://www.cfl.ca/article/dunk-breaking-down-the-mad-scientist-of-blitzes Hope we've worked on the exotic blitz.

Hate to be the spoiler but I just drove though North Dakota, Minnesota, Ilinois and Michigan and they all have bad roads too. Not as many because you can see the money put in by the Federal government going back 50 years. The amount of money that must have been spent is stunning. It is all about priorities. friends came here from California. Father and son, both commented on how great our highways are compared to theirs. a few years ago, drove along a highway that is the main road from Montana and Idaho, to Glacier National park. a very busy highway. It was by far, the worst most dangerous highway I have ever seen in my life, many places the road was literally crumbling away on the cliff side, making it one lane, parts of it covered with rock and gravel from mountains on the other side. Nobody working on it at all. it was unsafe to go faster than around 20 miles an hour. another highway in the same area, we were warned going into the USA at the border, lots of cattle on the highway. there were. talk about dangerous. Nobody cared enough to do anything about it.

oil below fifty a barrel. gas up to 1.11 a litre 87 grade. lol oil companies.

sharknado, three on tv last night really funny. a lot like airplane movies, or one of the Wayan's "scary movie" and the same guys have a new one about lava full of tarantulas. "lavantula" #excitement!

missed out last week.

just heard on the radio today, cjob, upper deck show, (Kennerd and Cameron guests, great program) that Lirim, and Bucknor, were both undrafted, both found and signed by Walters. Trevor Kennard had high praise for Lirim.

Up till maybe recently, rural sask has been booming. lots of new hotels, motels, restaurants. I suppose the oil price is going to slow that down somewhat.

From my experience a hooker emporium would have been a much better investment. patron, proprietor, or employee?

I thought the swagger thing, on the field, got out of hand and became a parody. Even if the defence played well, if the team's losing, what is there to be happy about. I didn't like that stuff very much.

lol.

for my friend spuds!
