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

“We’ve got lots of theories. We just don’t have any evidence”.

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!

Not sure what his status is today, but he got hurt early in the Hamilton game and did not return. Just an FYI.

Don’t need to imagine, saw what happened when a black man knelt during an anthem. Multiply x 1 million.

Was just responding to the question “why would TSN assume we want to watch interviews when no other network does them”. Was just pointing to an example of how the NFL does a whole game of it and it draws a lot of eyeballs and is seen as a fun innovation. As for your advice, you could follow it yourself with all the Suitor hate. Mute the TV, synchronize the OB broadcast from the radio or streaming to the video. You have choices as well.

And vice versa.

Jock Climie would call them “the worst 2-0 team out there right now”. But this team is going to be judged on what it does in November, not now. As long as they bank wins and position themselves well for the playoffs, there is enough experience and talent to improve on stuff so no real concern yet. Remember last year’s start where we beat Hamilton but our secondary looked shaky, beat Toronto but their run game dominated us, we lost somewhat convincingly in Toronto, and but for an offside allowing a do-over on the winning field goal, and a just missed last second FG attempt from the usually reliable Paredes would have lost at home to Calgary. Then some cream puff games against Edmonton. It wasn’t until BC that we looked like the monster that the team became. So unless the “Grey Cup hangover” complacency last for another 4 weeks and we start losing games due to carelessness and don’t bounce back in anger, I see it as just a blip. I’ll check in again if I feel a trend is developing. Being a two-time defending champion does allow for some calm perspective and peace of mind during the turbulence that other teams can’t afford.
