Right after that, he tried to high-five one of his receivers but the receiver walked right past him like he wasn't there.

Oh well. Even a blind squirrel finds the odd nut. Stamps' d-backs are not good, to put it mildly.

Ohboyohboy. Mitchell favouring his elbow or arm. Wow- lotsa poor tackling by the Stumps. Zebras finally call Rider holding

Micah walking very gingerly. And that comment has nothing to do with redheads or spices.

Its all good. Yup, it was his knee- non-contact injury. Good power run! Ooops- holding Cowgary.

Hmmm...Fajardo got hit once and suddenly his passes are off- even the short ones.

Major-league holding on that run.

Rider fans: prove it.

Fajardo got hit hard on that play.Good.

I hope they show closeups of Fajardo's face during the game.

Didn't look like there was anything wrong with Mitchell's arm on that throw, but repetition may change that.

Megachurch With Ferrari-Driving Pastor Gives Back $4.4M Pandemic Loan A Houston megachurch, whose celebrity pastor is reportedly worth $50 million, has repaid the federal government $4.4 million in pandemic loans after going viral for the outrageous handout. Lakewood Church, which is tax-exempt like most religious institutions, took $4.4 million in taxpayer-funded Paycheck Protection Program loans at the height of the COVID pandemic last year—all while senior pastor Joel Osteen flaunted his insane wealth. It caused “Osteen” and “Ferrari” to trend on social media as observers questioned the institution’s need for such a huge payout. Osteen reportedly owns a $300,000 Ferrari and a $10.5 million mansion, and has been photographed traveling in style on a luxury jet. Meanwhile, he has made appearances on the Today Show, urging people to not “focus on what [they] have or don’t have.” Lakewood, believed to be the biggest church in the U.S. with an average weekly attendance of 45,000, shut down in-person services last year and told the Houston Business Journal they had to go months without the “ability to collect substantial donations.” They insisted none of the PPP money went to Osteen or his wife, both of whom allegedly do not receive a salary from the church, and called the loan crucial “during such a time of need.” The money provided the church with “short-term financial assistance” to ensure their 368 employees would “continue to receive a paycheck and full health care benefits,” a church spokesperson said. Thousands of other religious institutions received up to $7.8 billion in PPP loans, according to some tallies.

The team needs to give the backups enough real-time game experience so that they will be able to step in as seamlessly as possible.

But there ain't no Mo.

The truth is that the return of Medlock, even if possible, simply kicks the can a little further down the road, and we would have the same problem next year. So, lets fix it for several years, whatever that would fix look like.

We can dream, can't we?

Whistleblower: Capitol Police Leaders Acted ‘With Intent and Malice’ on Jan. 6‘ -Reuters A former senior member of the Capitol Police has written a blistering whistleblower letter to members of Congress accusing the force’s leadership of knowingly failing to help their own officers during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and then obfuscating the fact for personal gain. The former officer spent several hours with Yogananda Pittman, then the Capitol Police’s head of intelligence, and Sean Gallagher, its head of uniformed operations, the day of the attempted insurrection. The whistleblower wrote, “What I observed was them mostly sitting there, blankly looking at the TV screens showing real time footage of officers and officials fighting for the Congress and their lives… It is my allegation that these two with intent and malice opted to not try and assist the officers and officials, blame others for the failures, and chose to try and use this event for their own personal promotions.” The letter also alleges Pittman lied to Congress about an intelligence report delivered just a day before the riot. Pittman served as acting chief of the force after the former chief resigned, but she returned to her role as head of intelligence in August following a vote of no confidence from rank-and-file officers. Gallagher handled Pittman’s job during her tenure as acting chief but returned to his former job when she did the same. The whistleblower left the Capitol Police six months after the Capitol riot.

'Entirely unsurprising': Merck slammed for 4,000% markup of taxpayer-funded Covid drug The New Jersey-based pharmaceutical giant Merck is facing accusations of price gouging after it charged the U.S. over $700 per patient for a taxpayer-funded coronavirus treatment that, according to research, costs just $17.74 to produce. Last week, Merck announced plans to request emergency federal authorization for molnupiravir after a late-stage clinical trial showed that a five-day course of the antiviral drug cut the risk of Covid-19 hospitalization or death in half in patients with mild-to-moderate cases. The same day Merck unveiled the results of the trial and White House officials hailed the drug as another possible tool against Covid-19, the New York Times reported that "the federal government has placed advance orders for 1.7 million courses of treatment, at a price of about $700 per patient"—far more than the estimated cost of manufacturing the drug. According to an analysis by Melissa Barber of Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health and Dzintars Gotham of King's College Hospital in London, "the cost of production for molnupiravir capsules is US$1.74 per unit, or US$17.74 per five-day regimen." "Adding an allowance for 10% profit margin and taxes in India, we arrive at an estimated sustainable generic price of US$1.96 per capsule or US$19.99 per five-day regimen," the researchers concluded.

It hasn't hurt that so many of the other CFL teams have offences that are struggling.

The team needs to avoid ladies of the night- they are not the Dallas Cowboys.

Tried to not quote you as it was Goalie who posted the comment but that was the way it came out. My apology if I have offended. And I still maintain it was racist- what if we had a Cree player who was in disfavour and someone told him to get on his toboggan and go back to his teepee?

No excuse needed for wishing that the Riders get their butts kicked from start to finish.

The flying carpet comment is flat-out racist.
