Maher is what passes for a liberal in the US, but he is still obnoxious. It is is possible to make your point without coming across as an arrogant twit. Maher is what passes for a liberal in the US, but he is still obnoxious. It is is possible to make your point without coming across as an arrogant twit. His stance on political correctness is Big C Conservatism. No offence, but this makes no sense whatsoever. The phrase "big C Conservative" or "big L Liberal" is referring to someone belonging to a specific political party. Small c conservative is someone who holds a conservative ideology, completely different than belonging to the party. Maher is a classical liberal, which is usually called libertarian now. I agree that Maher is a Libertarian, but quite different from a liberal, at least in the Excited States. Down there, Libertarians are not far off the Tea Partiers in that they believe that any government presence or regulation at all is unwarranted. As an example- they both believe that governments ought not to mandate that restaurant employees wash their hands while on duty. So, if you get food poisoning, your recourse would be to sue the restaurant owner (if you survive the poisoning). Both subscribe to the Miltom Friedman University of Chicago economics model where the only role of government is to defend the state and enforce contracts. Extremists tend to merge in beliefs even if they start out saying they are quite different.

Maybe he's down at BMO field helping out with expert supervision.

Isn't this old news?

Overall, it sounds like this will be one of the most entertaining drafts in many a year.

Maher makes a helluva lot more money than Ezra ever did on television. That's true. One probably makes millions each year while the other is unemployed while posting videos proclaiming he and the Sun Network won debates on several current topics of interests and whining how unjust it is that CBC gets mandatory carriage in what should be a free market while complaining the SUN News network should have been given that same mandatory carriage.. You are wrong about CBC being mandatory carriage. Sun News was constantly whining about government interference (between losing lawsuits for defamation and slander) but as soon as it became clear no one wanted to watch Faux News North, they started demanding mandatory carriage for themselves. Good riddance.

Not saying you are wrong, but this is the first time I've heard this. Where are you getting this info from? About 40 years of watching CFL players come and go.

Its not unusual for an O-lineman to have a career approaching 10 years, but if a receiver plays half that, it is seen as a good career. So an O-lineman is a better investment.

You are correct. I will now go away quietly.

Bill Maher and Ezra Levant are two sides of the same coin- arrogant, usually willfully ignorant of the facts and contemptuous of anyone who dares to disagree with them. They rely on volume and personal attacks rather than logic or reason. And both have made handsome livings telling their sycophants what they want to hear.

Actually, there are so many different ethnicities in India, that the proper term is "Desi", which covers all of them.

An amazing diatribe from Maher calling others buttholes when he is one of the biggest anal apertures around.

He stands 6'5" and weighs 215 lbs. Could be a FB for the Bombers. He worked out as a receiver and will do the same for the esks He has the athletic pedigree, and if he makes it in the CFL, maybe with the Bombers, it would be the second CFL/NHL brother combo.

Oh, no- you were correct- he's not even in the league any more.

I'm not saying we are guaranteed to get Harris or Coombs when they become free agents, but Harris is different as he played junior football in BC and was a territorial exemption pickup for BC. He wasn't a local kid that grew up here and played their football here. Harris was born in Winnipeg and played high school football here before going to BC to play junior football. He is also here in the off-season iirc. How is that not a local kid? I didn't say he wasn't a local kid, I said that he didn't grow up here AND play his football here. The original post insinuated that Harris being born here didn't work out for him coming back to Winnipeg, comparing that to Coombs and Demski. I said it wasn't a valid comparison because Harris played his junior football in BC and had four years playing there to put down roots, make friends, and get accustomed to the place, regardless of whether or not he comes back here to visit family. That was a really badly worded sentence then because that is exactly what you wrote even if it wasn't what you meant. Yep, it happens sometimes when you try to rattle off a post before heading to a meeting. No worrys- its all gooder Inglish.

What the heck- pigmentation is pigmenatation.

So you think the CBC should have outbid SportsNet for NHL broadcasting rights? SportsNet blew TSN out of the water with their bid. And I believe the CBC is mostly funded by taxpayer dollars. No. I believe they had an opportunity to hold onto the deal they had for Saturday games and a share of the playoffs with a reasonable offer. They took HNIC for granted and were stunned when the league balked at their offer excluding them. They were not a player for national rights. I haven't seen that reported anywhere, that CBC had an opportunity to keep HNIC rights. They did not. My friend is a mid-level management person at CBC and CBC was directed to drop NHL hockey as it conflicted with TSN and Rogers' interests.

Hardly a screwup. CBC sports was a tremendous revenue generator for the the corporation and the broadcasts were very good quality. I am impressed that he is becoming a Canadian citizen- that may well mean that he plans to be around for awhile. We need the stability and the profile he brings to the league.

And that's probably without any sprint technique.coaching.

Well he is big enough to be seen as a "bus" rather than a bust.

And he is even more tanned than the old commish. Looking forward to hearing him interviewed on one of the sports channels to learn what he sees himself bringing to the league.

As good as some of these players are as running backs, if they can catch, that makes them so much more valuable. If they can block, run and catch, they are gold.

No doubt the new Mosaic field will not make the same mistakes as elsewhere but will find their own.

Looks like a jackrabbit playing with turtles.

Does this mean that if Hector doesn't make the team, his uncle will sue?
