One more year of this sweet gif

No more skewed than removing a game performance to under-inflate stats. It’s like taking Lawler’s big game in BC out of the equation and saying he was the 5th best receiver last year. Williams came in in limited time and over that time put up numbers that would put him right around the top of the league pro-rated over a full season last year. When he left in 2018 he was the top receiver in the league. He can justify being the highest paid receiver, whether 260,000 is appropriate is up for debate but that is the market rate right now given Whitehead’s contract and Lawler’s offer, as well as Derel Walker’s past contracts. And

I love what Demski brings,but this statement is a real reach. He has never topped 660 yards receiving in a season, and seen spot duty returning and rushing. Joe Pop was miles ahead of him as a receiver and also kicked FGs for us once upon a time. Gerald Wilcox had monster numbers that make Demski’s pale in comparison. And Jeff Nicklin played both ways including as an inside receiver, got his number retired, and was a war hero. even Rick House put up more dominant seasons. I would place Demski behind all of them in the pantheon of greatest Canuck slots for the Bombers, even if he plays another 6 years and doubles his current stats.

Leo Lewis then? I mean, it’s kind of like debating which is the best vacation spot, Hawaii, Turks and Caicos, or Jamaica?

We still have 4 Canadian running backs if they re-sign Oliviera (I’m counting Demski here) so we still have tons of flexibility that other teams don’t have. The one issue another team may have in signing Harris is that he takes up a starting Canadian spot, so if he gets hurt then the team must replace him with another Canadian, and no other team has the luxury of another quality Canadian RB like we do. Could actually make him less valuable elsewhere. Also, with his age and passport, would be surprised to see another team drop a bundle on him when a younger, cheaper American tailback would be easy to pluck from the college system. Unless of course his full skill set of running, receiving and pass blocking was exploited by a coach who knows how to maximize his talents and would be able to build an offence around him rather than loading up on receivers. Now which team/coach fits that description? Hmmmm……….

Listen to what? This?

Two questions: 1) Would most of the Looney Tunes cartoons be banned today for some form of offensive content as deemed by the PC crowd (acts of violence with coyote/road runner or Daffy Duck hunting, Bugs in drag insulting the transgender crowd, Porky Pig being an insensitive caricature of the disability of stuttering, Pepe le Pew being a sexual predator, etc? 2) Is it still the funniest most subversively clever cartoon series out there (if we agree that it once was)?

They seem to vote a surprising number of those folks into power, though. New interim leader being just another example. One interesting early (conspiracy?) theory on Twitter - Bergen is going to go even more hard right, and when a new leader is elected they will scale back to where they are now to correct the trajectory and look “moderate” by comparison to woo voters.

And if you open the link and read the comments afterwards, one of the messages from a Marc Luscher rips this “critic” for his bitter rantings from the “unwanted less-favoured adopted son and not the truly loved natural-born offspring” - signed Marc (and most certainly not Joel). Nice to see sibling rivalry alive and well. marc luscher Feb 1·edited Feb 1 ah, yes. the bitter rantings of the less-favored *adopted* "twin", the useless appendage finally forced off the coattails of his more successful "twin" (whom Mother ACTIALLY pushed out her birth canal, by the way, who WAS loved, who did NOT sleep in a dog cage in the garage, who was NOT given the same second-hand Lite-Brite for three consecutive Christmas’s) ... but he who by means of a sad attempt at barely recognizable humor wishes to lash out at his handsome, loved, talented "twin" - NOT chosen from a budget orphanage catalog - in the pathetic hope of seeming relevant. get a life, get a solo hit movie, and get on without me, already ! -marc (and most certainly not Joel)

The convoy went to Ottawa to oust the PM. Got Scheer instead, the only leader to meet with them. And the guy millions of Canadians supposedly despise or hate, and who was “just not ready”, has now seen the backs of 3 Conservative leaders during his tenure.

Updated list: 5 days left until free agency. As far as I can tell from the roster on blue bombers.com and the free agent list on cfl.ca, here is where we are at: Bold = confirmed signed Plain = pending free agent Italics = on roster, presumably signed but contract status not reported (any help to clarify would be appreciated) Underlined = released QB - D. Brown, Collaros, McGuire RB - Augustine, Borsa, Harris, M. Miller, Oliveira WR - Adams, Bailey, Demski, Grant, Jackson, Lawler, McKnight, O’Leary-Orange, Wolitarsky OL - Bryant, Burks, Couture, Desjarlais, Eli, Gray, Hardrick, Kolankowski, Neufeld, Richmond DL - Antigua, Jeffcoat, Jefferson, Kongbo, Richardson, E. Rose, Sayles, Thomas, Walker, Wicker, Wilcots II LB - Bighill, Briggs, K. Brown, Cadwaller, Gauthier, Hansen, Lowes, Maruo, Wilson DB - Alexander, Alford, Darby, Ni. Hallett, No. Hallett, Hampton, Houston, Johnson, Jones, Kramdi, Matson, J. Miller, Nichols, W. Rose, Taylor, Thompson K - Castillo, Crapigna, Liegghio, Mourtada LS - Benson

Great signing for a guy some wanted cut after a few drops to start the year last season. Glad that the coaching staff’s patience was rewarded.

Without an established QB, no o-line or running game, probably will be as threatening as these guys.

Heinola with a brutal pinch on the winning goal.

So some may have noticed that I am not a fan of hypocrisy, so I always enjoy those who call it out, and use receipts to emphasize that point intelligently and without means to refute it. So Biden’s press secretary Jen Psaki has been a breath of fresh air, especially on the heels of the rogue’s gallery that preceded her. This question and answer almost looks like a softball set-up by the news reporter, but the answer is simple, fantastic, and throws shade at the perfect target.

Twitter is so expansive that there is still plenty of good stuff out there for sure. But boy are there swaths of idiots there too. And yes there is value in drowning out the noise as you say, and it can be very productive. I try not to tune out everything I don’t agree with just so I can at least see where “the other side” is leaning and will judge as best I can armed with multiple viewpoints. But that takes nothing away from your “vacuum” approach as you put it, which is totally fine and probably less stress-inducing. Equal value in your approach, certainly.

Twitter is by and large accurately described as “a megaphone for morons”, but every once in a while a nugget comes up. This thread was a gold mine.

I’m sure that will be the deciding factor for Kyle Walters then. 😉 Are you suggesting he played the Bomber fans for suckers and only used us to leverage a better deal out of BC with no real desire to return here?

Would reiterate that this is worth the read, even if you feel it is a long. One thing that crept up in my mind was a tweet someone wrote when Novak Djokovic was being kicked out of Australia and his parents and supporters were crying about oppression, and it applies here too: ”When you have lived a life of privilege, it can be easy to mistake inconvenience with oppression”.

I’ll be curious how quiet the board will get if we sign Duke.

That was too much, and not nearly enough. Thanks for venting your spleen and expressing what so many feel but are too exhausted from the noise to say again.

Replace “white man” with “Republican” and “coloured man” with “Democrat” and you have the same sentiment today as you did 60 years ago with this quote: “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” Lyndon B. Johnson Point being, it’s all about feeling superior to someone to give your ego a boost and wipe away your feelings of self-failure and isolation by giving you a like-minded group to identify with.

This guy seems ready to make a comeback too (maybe saw the Bowman and Arceneaux signings), although by the way he is huffing and puffing I’m a little worried about his conditioning.

The timing is equally unbelievable. Today is actually International Holocaust Remembrance Day. I kid you not.

Blame the owners. They run the league.
