Didn’t say in the article, but she got 20 years in jail.

I hear you on that.

On the first point, I was initially puzzled too but I guess the idea is to provide equity over equality. If the player jumps, then sometimes the offence gets a free play of the refs don’t blow it dead, but the refs won’t then ignore holding calls with a penalty already in hand, because it gives an extra advantage to the offence. Likewise, if a player jumps offside and the o-lineman is disadvantaged by the head start, and their only reflex to prevent their QB getting killed is to hold since they never had a fair chance to block, they shouldn’t suffer the extra 5 yards on their end when the originating foul was on the opposing side. Now that’s just speculation on my part based on my own form of logic. If any zebras are out there, would love to hear the official explanation. I do know that when personal fouls are factored in then the yardage will be usually applied to both sides. So if there is an offside on on player and then a face mask on the other team, the yardage would be applied to both sides rather than a simple do-over. On the second point, I know that to the naked eye the toughest judgment calls are the offensive offside calls with receivers in motion and the QB past the line of scrimmage throws. Often a receiver looks like they are way offside but in slow motion you can see that the ball is just being snapped as they hit the line. But by the time the ball is in the QBs hand the receiver is often 5 yards downfield so it looks like they jumped. On the QB throw, the rule changed a few years ago and now if ANY part of the QBs body is behind the line it is a legal throw, so a QB can be past the line but drag their back foot and still make a legal throw.

No worries. Am I correct that we were starting 8 Canadians anyway so we had one to spare? 3 on the interior o-line, Demski, Woli, and the RB spot (or the FB spot if we go only 4 receivers), and on defence the safety and one of the nose tackle spots?

O’Leary-Orange is a National so it’s a straight swap. Don’t need another National starter elsewhere.

Don’t rent the movie “The Blind Side” then.

There was a play in the Bomber Ti-Cat game where Jeffcoat jumped offside but the play continued, and then the Cats were called for holding. Penalties offset despite the yardage difference in the fouls, and the play was a do-over.

If Charles was bypassed and it went straight to William then they would still approve. The “Diana” after-effect.

How my mind is working: If we take his statement at full face value, then logically he would have had these thoughts when the Jets (and every other team) first interviewed him. If the first thing he says is “you know, I’m not really interested in coaching at all” why take all the interviews, why come back for a second one in Winnipeg, and why drag it out for 2 months? Hard to imagine that he was excited to explore all of these options and then decide at the end of it “no I don’t want any of them but it just came to me”. And if he did disclose form the start, then a major screw-up on the Jets part to hold out and lose out on the other coaches who got snapped up in the interim waiting on a lost cause. If he is holding out for a better offer, then of course he’ll say the right things and how tough it is to turn down Winnipeg, but this team sure has had trouble holding on to players (and a coach) in the last 5 years, and it’s precisely this competitive disadvantage that helped make us also-fans in our first incarnation which led to dwindling fan interest and ultimately relocation. So if he pops up in another market 3 months into next season then I think the hard question of “what makes Winnipeg so unattractive to any real quality hockey people” has to be asked.

So why do I expect him to take a job elsewhere once a firing occurs mid-season this upcoming year?

Whoa, whoa! He already got inducted into the Hall of Fame this week, what are you trying to do to people around here?

And the reduction of Miranda rights. Remind me again what race is the predominant one incarcerated in the US per capita? Justice Thomas also signalling in his concurring opinion overturning Roe that it now establishes a reason to examine other settled precedent that he deems wrongly decided based on his Constitutional interpretation. Specifically names cases that protect contraception, same sex relationships, and same sex marriage. Conveniently left out the Loving decision that allows and protects interracial marriage as being a prior decision on his hit list.

I guess you missed yesterday’s SCOTUS ruling expanding gun rights.

FIFY

Morrow (Sask RB)

Amy chance we’d get Pastrnak straight up for him? And would we want that trade?

Maybe it’s just the city. Winnipeg is on more no-trade clauses than any other NHL team, according to every player poll they’ve ever cranked out.

One other interesting stat: Record as a starter. Harris 36-37-2, Fajardo 23-8.

Keep the emotion in check. Let the emotion come from the witnesses testifying. Of a lawyer starts screaming about the case and how horrible it is, they will lose credibility in the eyes of the court. But if a witness gives wrenching testimony it will hit harder. Hearing the civilian poll worker “Lady Ruby” talk about being targeted by the President and how it has upended her life is much more powerful than Adam Schiff going off on a rant. I read the entire transcript of Trump’s call to Brad Raffenspurger, the Georgia Secretary of State. So much pathetic begging and useless logic he relies on (“I won by a lot, just look at the size of my rallies, no way I could have lost”). And when he is called out for following unverified social media he says “no it’s Trump media” like he thinks that means no bias. Astounding how much effort they put into the lie and the pressuring with zero evidence to back them up. And a tiny point but a hilariously cringe-worthy moment in the call: Trump is talking to and presumably trying to butter up one of Raffenspurger’s lawyers who is in on the call and disagreeing with Trump’s assertions of fraud. His name was Ryan Germany. Trump says “I heard [you] were very difficult, but I’m sure you’re a good lawyer. I like your last name”. Wow. Show me you’re a Nazi without saying you’re a Nazi.

CFL: Congratulations to Glen Suitor on his Hall of Fame Induction. MBB:

When it comes to media reports and speculation, I believe half of what they say half the time.

See above posts re: injury. No definitive update yet on his status.

Best Conan O’Brien joke ever!
