  1. the decision to cancel the avro arrow.... actually Lapo fault. too complicated to explain right now. although nobody would understand, if I laid it out. hundreds of times. or more.
  2. marcus mariota being one.... man was he hyped.
  3. was alford our best defensive back over the last two seasons? will some of the other guys be getting a chance now? you know ten times what I do, but I think you might be shortchanging strev a bit... think Streveller has taken a big step up as a passing qb. all his passes were on target, not too fast, not too slow, he looked like he understood what was going on on defence, which maybe he struggled with a bit while here. ie game has slowed down for him. even the one that was picked off, running, rainy, still quite catcheable. we know hes been working his butt off.... it shows. and with a coach that has a better idea what plays he can do best.
  4. sounds like alford is in. very nice. streveller makes the games interesting, after such a yawner before he went in. good game after all. I remember saleh d coach fortyniners, man that defence was ferocious. even with many starters hurt.
  5. atlanta qb 15 reminds me of faj
  6. wish cfl refs would keep the coaches off the field like that. dickensen running out on the field. rules not for him. flacco does look old. dont think hes done anything much in years.
  7. 2 drives 2 touchdowns cant ignore that can they?
  8. streveller passing looks accurate, he's much better than when he was here he actually looks like hes gained muscle. but just as fast. also... the coach likes him
  9. YES ! another td pass for streveller😀
  10. very good summary of Biden's climate legislation, passed a few days ago. Hard core climate activists are celebrating this bill. "The era of passive, hands-off government is over. The laws embrace an approach to governing the economy that scholars call “industrial policy,” a catch-all name for a wide array of tools and tactics that all assume the government can help new domestic industries get started, grow, and reach massive scale. If “this country used to make things,” as the saying goes, and if it wants to make things again, then the government needs to help it. And if the country believes that certain industries bestow a strategic advantage, then it needs to protect them against foreign interference. The approach is at the core of how the IRA seeks to resolve climate change. " https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2022/08/climate-law-manchin-industrial-policy/671183/
  11. why dont teams use a tight end in the Cfl. not ever. hamilton had that "heavy set" a few years ago, but think that was just Lineman. nik lewis was kind of a tight end.... he was effective. must be some way to do it. that kyle pitts holy crap.
  12. fully vaccinated south dakota march 2021... 18 % 😂 ohttps://www.google.ca/search?q=covid+19+vaccination+rate+south+dakota&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-ca&client=safari still... 63 %. morons. lot of unused vaccinations available at walmart. down south dakota way. I remember when the Sturgis rally went ahead, with no covid restrictions, in the middle of the worst of it... and was proven to be a vector for outbreaks all over the midwest.
  13. New York team? you might be in error. site briefly called me "ark F" might go with that.
  14. after streveller went to arizona, I followed that team a bit. can not have been much fun being backup to kyler murray. on one play murray came off the field, streveller went up to congratulate him, murray acted like chris was not there. also, dont think the coach did chris any favours when he was on the field. hope he sticks somewhere. excessively swollen egos in the nfl is part of why I cant get into it.
  15. I guess you are unaware of Trump's record on covid.
  16. Michael Cohen should be listened to. and Trump, for all the blathering and analysing him, he is not complicated. devoid of morals,, ethics, boundaries; whatever helps him the most, he will do that. If it involves making others suffer... even better. look what he did with covid, sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people, to help himself. blackmail? Hold the country hostage? of course. then sell the information anyway. wierd how this kind of immoral sadist ends up in power so frequently. world wide.
  17. 😂 @the watcher my library has this book, so just requested it. good reviews. "The Death of Democracy: Hitler's Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic Hardcover – Illustrated, April 3 2018 by Benjamin Carter Hett" a riveting account of how the Nazi Party came to power and how the failures of the Weimar Republic and the shortsightedness of German politicians allowed it to happen. Why did democracy fall apart so quickly and completely in Germany in the 1930s? How did a democratic government allow Adolf Hitler to seize power? In The Death of Democracy, Benjamin Carter Hett answers these questions, and the story he tells has disturbing resonances for our own time. To say that Hitler was elected is too simple. He would never have come to power if Germany’s leading politicians had not responded to a spate of populist insurgencies by trying to co-opt him, a strategy that backed them into a corner from which the only way out was to bring the Nazis in. Hett lays bare the misguided confidence of conservative politicians who believed that Hitler and his followers would willingly support them, not recognizing that their efforts to use the Nazis actually played into Hitler’s hands. They had willingly given him the tools to turn Germany into a vicious dictatorship. Benjamin Carter Hett is a leading scholar of twentieth-century Germany and a gifted storyteller whose portraits of these feckless politicians show how fragile democracy can be when those in power do not respect it. He offers a powerful lesson for today, when democracy once again finds itself embattled and the siren song of strongmen sounds ever louder." definitely sounds a lot like usa right now. misguided politicians. ie.....Joe Biden, who said McConnell is an honourable man. edit this is very humorous... Rick Scott at work. hang on to your wallet 😂 National Republican Senatorial Committee funds declined to just $28.4 million by the end of June. (Photo: Manuel Augusto Moreno via Getty Images) "A number of Republican strategists and consultants are growing increasingly dismayed about millions of dollars vanishing at the National Republican Senatorial Committee — just when the funds are needed most, The Washington Post reported Friday." yahoo news. LOL. https://www.yahoo.com/news/republicans-demand-know-happened-vanishing-141539162.html
  18. yes, think I will find a book on this. also now.... orban, edrogan, putin. greece after ww2. franco in spain. program tonight worth watching: CNN SPECIAL REPORT RISING HATE: ANTISEMITISM IN AMERICA Reported by CNN’s Dana Bash, Airs Sunday, August 21st at 9pmET Antisemitism is finding new and terrifying footing in American society. Though it has always existed, this ancient hatred has grown in recent years, moving from fringe groups and obscure chatrooms to the mainstream, both online and on the streets of communities across the country. With white nationalists radicalized online perpetrating deadly shootings, and insidious conspiracy theories and tropes normalized by political leaders, CNN Anchor and Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash takes an in depth look for a CNN Special Report Rising Hate: Antisemitism in America. I dont understand why Jewish billionaires like the Kochs, Sheldon Adelson, support the Republican party, which harbours many virulent Nazi extremists. course the kochs care only about themselves, so not surprising in their case.
  19. yeah good point, didnt think of it that way.
